It's so refreshing to see bands like this live. When they made these recordings, they somewhat toned them down, because that was what the market expected of them. They were good pop songs, but here in a live setting...they are driving it hard like a 60s R&B band. That drummer is an absolute BEAST.

This is a case where the song in-person live was just as good, if not better, than the recorded version. They are enjoying themselves too, always a plus. The Hollies had already done the psychedelic thing by this time, and this song is, perhaps, as if early '60s British Invasion rock had just kept on evolving. The harmonies, the guitar riffs, Bernie Calvert's bass, and Bobby Elliot on drums, all flawless, in my opinion
