This is up in You Tube
Worth a look.
Tony plays a lot more bass in this vid.

Nice - thanks for the tip-off. Much better quality than the grainy, distorted, monochrome version I have!
I wonder when Tony last played bass on stage with the band?

I really enjoyed seeing this. It's like having the visual for 'Live Hits'. I wonder if they cut their set down for the TV show or if it was edited out as it seemed a bit thin on the ground to me? They seem on good form though. Interesting seeing Bernie playing piano a few times and Pete Wingfield playing synthesiser. I wonder if this is after 'Live Hits' because he seems to have toned it down a bit. They're missing a few more fast-paced numbers I think, but I really enjoyed this rendition of 'Stop! Stop! Stop!', one of my favourite live versions of it.
It seems to me that if the Hollies know they're being filmed or recorded live, they panic a bit and play it safe. Bootlegs I've heard of their concerts where they're not massively aware that they're being recorded sound much better and more natural. I know Keith Richards said exactly the same of the Rolling Stones - if they knew it was being recorded, they consciously tried hard instead of just being themselves.

Piece the two together and you more or less have Live Hits as they do Star, Just One Look, My Island (ugh), Carrie Ann, Long Cool Woman...
