I was at the Liverpool concert also and it was the 6th show this Autumn tour I have attended and Peter Howarth introduces the Guitar Sitar before The Baby. Stop Stop Stop is introduced with the Peter telling the story of how it came to be written. Tony stands with his Banjo before starting the intro as this video.

Jennifer85977 You are certainly a big fan Jennifer :) As I mentioned, I'd never heard of the instrument before. I also laughed with all the rest when the storyline was explained to the audience. I'm confused now. Seems as though I heard Guitar Sitar mentioned & made an inaccurate assumption. One of the best live performances I've seen of any group was The Hollies at Liverpool's Shakespeare Theatre in the early seventies. Could not have been long before it burned down.

The shirt Tony Hicks is wearing looks exactly like the one he wore on a Top of the Pops appearance back in June 1966 performing Bus Stop. The clip is on youtube. Tony has always been remarkably youthful looking, but this shirt no longer hangs down as smoothly as it did back in '66.

Many thanks to England for bringing us Americans the Hollies and the rest of the British Invasion in which it f***ing never ends. To my knowledge the Who and the Stones are not just the only British Invasion dudes still around but about everyone else (the Zombies, the Animals, the Kinks, etc, etc, etc). Keep on rocking, you f***ing brilliant Englishmen!

Tony Hicks - the one and only! I have so much respect for him as a person and a musician. Listening to his lead in to Stop Stop Stop in this video, I am reminded of a song by another under-rated musician - Al Stewart. Though Stewart is playing not a banjo, but a guitar (I assume a 12 string), some parts of the following music video remind me so much of Tony's lead in: m.kzitem.info/news/bejne/uWaYloFqiImmjZg&pp=ygUWYWwgc3Jld2FydCBub3N0cmFkYW11cw%3D%3D

Bands that have been around for 50/60 yrs all have personnel changes, many times lead singer. Tony and the drummer played in all the hits, so this version is not a tribute band. These bands tour without orig lead singer, are they tribute bands? Santana, Journey, Temptations, Styx, Lovin Spoonful, Foreigner, 4 Tops, and a long list.
