Hollies ended their concerts in Australia with the acapella song " Amazing grace " in the eighties. Recorded?

I remember the Hollies singing Amazing Grace in the mid 70's, don't recall them doing the number in the 80's. Sadly I have never heard of a recording of the number

That song was actually recorded (along with a version of "Write On") at the Christchurch shows that became the "Hollies Live Hits" album.

From what I understand, a fan kept whistling through the a cappela performance of Amazing Grace, ruining it for commercial release. Crying or Very sad

You will most certainly get it on the upcoming new DVD, Reeling in the years, as included in the Australian TV show.

Hi Knut and Scott, , gee we can hope it's on the DVD, any idea when that is coming out?
I'm sure these days with modern technology you could cut out the whistling.

Hi Anthony

Fall in the US is equivalent to Autumn in the UK (which must be Spring in Australia?).
