Tony Hicks is an incredible musician and singer. Never got the credit he should have.

One of those sounds that amazed this ten years old. I remember seeing them perform this on TV and thought the Beatles had better watch out. Ha ha. Still grabs me by the throat every time.

Yep, and as soon as the song finishes, Tony gladly swaps the "TRUCK" for a sunburst '59 Les Paul Standard, dangerously leaning against a German Echolette amp. Had he known that 55 years later, that Les Paul would be worth a million dollars, he might have used a stand.

Lyndon Powell : Yep, a Vox Phantom XII, and leaning against his German made Echolette amp, waiting patiently to be picked up for the next song, is a '59 Gibson Les Paul Standard. Discontinued in 1960 through lack of sales, this model could be picked up in pawnshops for as little as a hundred and fifty bucks. Had Tony known it would be worth at least half a million dollars fifty years later, he might have considered putting it in a stand. Then again, proper guitar stands hadn't even been invented in 1966.

Hicks is great but that “banjo” he played back in the dya wasnt a real banjo. It was a guitar tuned like a banjo. There was a thing made for guitar players who couldnt take time to learn banjo or whatevr, it looked like. Banjo but it was tuned and played like a guitar. 5 string banjo aint that hard to learn. That othre thing he has is a 4 string banjo. Nevr seen one.

Absolutely right, and I believe he wasnt the easiest guy to be with. There's a telling youtube clip of The Hollies on American Bandstand from 1984 when they were back with Nash and when Dick Clark asks the band if it was difficult when Allan Clarke left the band, Tony jumps in and says something along the lines of 'no, it was a relief!'

Hollies musical explosion was in Romany era since they started producing their own material, by the time Allan left, Ron Richards had lost some interest in the band in fact they were a thousand times better (and kinda free) than n their prior works but that wasn't Clarke's fault. Distant Light is like their Romany pt1.

Talk about other peoples perceptions ! Clarke was the Hollies and they would have been nothing without the man. I think your commenting about a man who is in his 70s not the young guy who fronted the band back in the 60's.But if we are into character assassination ....the Hollies grew up and produced their finest work after Graham Nash left.
