The Hollies Look Through Any Window 1963-1975

Product Description The Hollies were one of the most successful British groups of the sixties and early seventies and have continued to perform up to the present day. Look Through Any Window tells the story of their peak years from 1963 to 1975 when the band clocked up 27 UK Top 40 singles, 17 of which were Top 10s. They were also part of the British Invasion led by the Beatles that stormed the US charts in the sixties and scored hit singles in many other countries around the world. This DVD is the history of the Hollies told through newly filmed interviews with band members Allan Clarke, Graham Nash, Tony Hicks and Bobby Elliott and fantastic vintage footage of the Hollies performing their classic tracks in full. / Bonus Features: Option to play the 22 complete song performances without the interviews. / TRACK LISTING: 1) Baby That s All 2) Rockin Robin 3) Little Lover 4) Just One Look 5) Here I Go Again 6) I m Alive 7) Look Through Any Window 8) I Can t Let Go 9) Bus Stop 10) Stop Stop Stop 11) On A Carousel 12) Carrie Anne 13) Dear Eloise 14) King Midas In Reverse 15) Jennifer Eccles 16) Wings 17) Do The Best You Can 18) Listen To Me 19) Sorry Suzanne 20) He Ain t Heavy, He s My Brother 21) Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress 22) The Air That I Breathe Tienda If the bands that composed the British Invasion of the 1960s were put in a pyramid, one (admittedly subjective) appraisal would have the Beatles alone at the very top--"the toppermost of the poppermost," as John Lennon would say. Just below them would be the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, and the Who, followed by a group including the Animals, the Zombies… and the Hollies, the subject of this compilation of more than 20 performances (many of them live, almost all of them complete) from their glory years. Those who know the Hollies as the band Graham Nash was in before he joined forces with Stephen Stills and David Crosby, or who are familiar only with their MOR-ish post-Nash singles "The Air That I Breathe," "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress," and "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother," are in for a treat. Like so many English groups of the era, they started out playing soul and R&B covers ("Rockin' Robin" and "Just One Look," both from a '64 concert, are two good examples here). But the influence of rock 'n' roll pioneers the Everly Brothers and Buddy Holly, who inspired Hollies lead singer Allan Clarke, lead guitarist Tony Hicks, and Nash, was already apparent in the threesome's soaring harmonies, which were further showcased in brilliant pop singles like "Here I Go Again," "I'm Alive," "Look Through Any Window," and "Bus Stop" (all by other songwriters, including Graham Gouldman, later of 10cc), and later in such Clarke-Hicks-Nash compositions as "Stop Stop Stop," "Carrie-Anne," and "On a Carousel" (the DVD contains several minutes of footage of the group at work on the latter in the same Abbey Road studio where the Beatles recorded all of their important work). Recorded in the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, Yugoslavia, and Holland, these performances are in black & white and color, with superb remastered sound and generally top-notch visuals; new interviews with the three principals and drummer Bobby Elliott are insightful and full of details. This is another outstanding entry in Reelin' in the Years Productions' British Invasion series; titles by the Small Faces, Herman's Hermits, Gerry and the Pacemakers, and Dusty Springfield are also recommended. --Sam Graham
