Hi all,
It was 17 years ago today I saw the Hollies in Melbourne on Sunday Mother's Day May 10th 1987. I remember it was a fab show and started off with "Stop in the name of Love" The banter on the night between Allan and Tony was just so funny. The intro to Stop Stop Stop was brilliant, Tony played this Arabic type of solo, very fond memories.
The time passes so quickly and the Hollies are still going strong, we are a lucky lot to have this wonderful band,
Bye all,
Anthony |

Hi Anthony
I saw The Hollies in at The State Theatre in Sydney on the 9 May 1987, I remember the date because it was the day before Mother's Day and I still have my ticket. I remember the arabic guitar intro that Tony did at the beginning of Stop Stop Stop and I was singing along to Carrianne when Tony decided to sing the second verse in a different language so I couldn't sing along with him, but Allan Clark and Alan Coates sang the first and third verses in English though. You are right Anthony, the banter was really funny and I hadn't laughed so much for a long time. I still remember that 1987 show as though it happened yesterday.
All The best
Susie

Hi Susie,
I think Tony may have sung it in French, I still have the concert ticket also, was it really all those years ago. Hope you got yourself a tour programme too. |

Hi Anthony
It doesn't seem 17 years since that Hollies concert but it is. Unfortunately, I didn't get a programme because I had to stand in a line and by the time I got to the counter they were sold out I felt like screaming at the time So you think that Tony may have sang the second verse of Carrieanne in french, whatever language it was I never understood a word of it but he was good though.
All The Best
Susie

Wow, sounds like you both had a brilliant concert, I'm jealous.
Keep coming with your memories- they're really interesting. |

Hi Peej,
I have only seen 5 Hollies shows and each one was really special.
I'm just so happy to have seen both Allan Clarke and Carl as lead singers of the group. I was too young when they toured here with Rickfors. Don't be too jealous, you have future memories of shows that haven't happened yet. We can just dream, don't forget to hold up that sign at your next show "Hollies Needed In Australia" |

Hi Peej and Anthony!
I have only seen The Hollies 3 times and I plan to make it 4 and possibly 5 in November. Like you Anthony, I never saw them with Mikael Rickfors but I was lucky enough to see them with Allan Clarke and Carl Wayne as lead singer. You don't have to feel jealous Peej, because you have now seen the boys more times than Anthony or me (you lucky girl). Like you Peej, I also like reading about everyone's Hollies memories or concert reviews.
All The Best

Peeji,
The next trip over will include my eighth, ninth and tenth shows, although Heppenheim should be the eleventh (%$*$# Stillwater monsoon, although I need to get over that - after all I did hear a nice sound check, and met Carl, Tony and Bob that day ).
The variety has been great, too - will work out to three in the States, four in the UK, and three in Germany.
My question is...since you have to skip Wisley, where does that put us in our "little competition"? I think you will still be one ahead of me . I'm doing pretty well, despite my distinct geographical disadvantage...until this fall, when you will really start pulling ahead of me again.
I should try to get to Manchester and Buxton, too. Not just to keep pace with you, but also because of a little "job" I have for Carl to do... |

Yo Bruce!
I'll be on eleven after Heppenheim!
Yeah you should pop over in November, it's nothing out of the ordinary for you lol
Hmm think I can guess on this job you have for Carl or at least the peeps it may concern....
Mind you I don't think I'll be doing many gigs in November owing to that monetary problem of being a student |

Hi Peej,
Re: Carl's "job".
You often say that I know you pretty well. I'd say you've got me figured out nicely, too! Pretty special peeps indeed...
As for you not being able to attend very many of the November shows, that reminds me of...me. I get back to the States, decide I can't afford to go again for a good long while and then, within weeks, I am scheming again.
You could save up some money - cut out the pubs for a while. Good Lord! What AM I saying?? |

Hi All,
You all are just making me jealous of all the time you've seen the Hollies!
I've seen them once. A dream of a life time, I couldn't ask for more could I?
Oh, but I wish me a wish that I could see them again one more time
*zucht*

Hi Shari,
You are right one time is not enough, yes I have been lucky to have seen the Hollies 5 times starting in 1975.
I don't think the English really know how lucky they are.
Hope we all get to see them just one more time.
Bye,
Anthony |

Hi Shari.
Me too - just the once. I had missed them in the 80's because I didn't know they were here. I didn't see the advertisement for the gig in 2001. It was so small my brother had to point it out to me in the newspaper. |

Hi All
I have only seen The Hollies just 3 times and in November that will change to 4. Like you Kathy I didn't know the guys were on Australia in 2001 until about a week before the Sydney show when I was looking through a newspaper and saw the add for it so the next day I went to The Canterbury R.S.L. club and bought my ticket and to my amazement I still ended up down the front.
And Shari, I hope that The Hollies visit America as well as Australia/NZ next year so you can see them a second time. And you are right Anthony some people in England don't know how lucky they are to have the world's best band ever in their country.
All The Best
Susie
