The Hollies :: View topic

Does anyone know anything about Hollies performances in the very early '70s? and how they went down? Pre- split, but post '60s.

I guess the package tours were over by now, so were The Hollies playing concert halls and universities under their own steam? I'm also assuming by that '70 bands were playing full shows as opposed to appearing for 20 minutes on stage.

I've heard some bits and pieces which give an idea of their sets: Blood Red Roses/ Woodstock/ Let It Be/ Amazing Grace / Gasoline Alley Bred/ Too Young / He Ain't Heavy etc. I've also read a review from around this time reporting that they did Marigold-Gloria Swansong and Why Didn't You Believe. But this might have been a '69 tour.

Incidentally, I see that the Bee Gees OZ TV show from '71 still survives and is very interesting! So maybe there is hope for Don't Get Sunburned...

Yes the Bee Gees show is still around, it was played when Maurice passed away.
Don't know what chance of ever seeing "Don't get Sunburnt" again.
The Hollies did sing Let It Be and Amazing Grace in the mid 70's, I saw them sing these in 1975 while on tour here in Australia.
It would be interesting to see a set list from the early 70's, they may have done a Dylan song or two also.
