A great DVD - it was one of our top ten by all the AAA groups in fact. And yes what a great great band The Hollies were - and are!

Actually I've just finished watching my DVD of the Hollies documentary. What a great band. Cheers from Mike from Australia.

Many thanks for taking the time to com...Hello Mike! Many thanks for taking the time to comment and for your kind words - they are much appreciated! I must admit, re-reading this article for the first time since soon after I wrote it, that I was a bit harsh on the BBC version of 'Bus Stop'. That's the trouib;le with reviewing CDs that are 'new' and having to draw up your opinions straight away - I've always been much happier reviewing albums I've known for 20 years or more! There are some other great versions of 'Bus Stop' around that I think are as good though, if perhaps not better - alas I can't find the 'alternative' BBC version I used to play a lot on youtube (where Bobby Elliott is on terrific form!) but if you get the chance do check out these versions! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zCWV8FjPG8 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdQJXrPmsLw Thanks again!

I was astonished at how good it sounded live on this set, and I think I like it better than the original. If you have other better versions, they must be terrific. Cheers from Mike.
