The Hollies The Hollies Live at the BBC (CD, BBC Records, 2018) ****
The Hollies Live in London (Vinyl, Immortal Records, 2013) ***
They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5; Part 6; Part 7
Active compensatory factors: Hollies Live Hits was made up of songs performed at some New Zealand shows in January 1976. My fellow Kiwis (and I) have always had a soft spot for The Hollies!
Live at the BBC is a terrific set of early, sixties, appearances on the Beeb Beeb Ceeb. The young Hollies tear into some great rock numbers like She Said Yeah with gusto!
Genre: Pop
Places I remember: Slow Boat Records, JB Hi Fi
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Bus Stop (Live Hits)
Gear costume: 4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy) (Live Hits)

It's a terrific set, with The Hollies choosing some brilliant songs from throughout their career - they have a truly amazing catalogue of hits to draw from. The Nu Zild crowd could be a tad more enthusiastic but that's us to a tee in the seventies.
The Hollies Live in London is from the late sixties, after Nash had left. The Dylan covers come across well but the song selection is patchy. It's 1969 so A Taste of Honey and Stewball are odd choices.
The guys are dressed in matching suits and ties. Again - guys - it's 1969!
Where do they all belong? A great way to finish. The Hollies could deliver live!
