  Hi All, this was the first Hollies concert I saw 43 years ago today. I can still remember them sings a great version of Let it be and amazing grace. Love the price of the tickets, didn't cost an arm and a leg like shows these days. |

Anthony, on the following night (23 January 1975), I attended The Hollies concert in Adelaide. They put on a great show even though the audience numbers were down on their previous concerts in Adelaide. Their setlist was:
I Can’t Let Go
Just One Look
Look Through Any Window
I’m Down
I Can’t Tell The Bottom From The Top
Bus Stop
The Day That Curly Billy Shot Down Crazy Sam McGee
Too Young To Be Married
Amazing Grace
Let It Be
Stop! Stop! Stop!
Carrie Anne
The Air That I Breathe
He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother
Lucy
Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)
Blowin’ In The Wind

Wish I'd seen the one on the left at The Majestic (could have been 63/64) but most likely first time would have been within a 'package tour' (64/65)...can't remember for sure..
Most bizarre one was at the Bradford University where The Hollies shared a bill with The Monty Python team early seventies or so.....!! |

Mine was March 1967. Package tour with Hollies, Spencer Davis Group, Paul Jones, Tremeloes and others. Cost me 10 shillings (50p)! Note the ticket highlighted Spencer Davis and not The Hollies.   te  |

Funny Festival hall was far from full when I went. |

I saw them in Sydney on the 21st. It was at the Hordern Pavillion in the Sydney Cricket Ground/Showground precinct.
My first time seeing them was at Chequers Nightclub in Sydney in Goulburn St. It was on their first tour of Australia. Actually saw them twice in the venue and after Had conversations with some of the guys after the 2nd time seeing them and got them all to sign my Hollies Sing Hollies LP that I had just got from England. I don't think they had seen the finished LP prior to me showing them it.
Interestingly they performed A Tast Of Honey on the first night but dropped in from the 2nd time I saw them.

I can't remember which was the first concert I saw but the first time I saw them perform live was for Ready Steady Go and that went out on TV on 28 February 1964.
