Massive hit from The Hollies in 1974, for a while back in the 60's, they were bigger than The Beatles, with good reason. They were an excellent band with superb close harmonies and the distinctive voice of lead singer Alan Clarke, I think they are still going to this day. Founder member Graham Nash left them in 1969 and became became part of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and performed at Woodstock the same year.
I saw them live in Vancouver somewhere between 84 and 86. Could be the same tour? They were amazing.
I also saw them at the Roundhouse in London in 77 and they were a bit shit
Edit must have been December 83 in Vancouver

Allan Clarke is my next door neighbour, still looks pretty good at 78.
How cool is that, if he was my next door neighbour I'd be a complete pain in the arse bending his ear whenever I saw him, he'd probably move!

Yes, he's a very private guy, they were still touring up to a few years ago.
Saw a very good documentary about The Hollies a couple of years back, really interesting about how they started out and developed their particular 'sound', as well as a Discography of all their singles/albums and the studio work that went into creating them.
Love this..
A great track to train to.
