$67,000 to whoever can name the mfgr of the bass i am playing in the picture (far left) at my signature link below..
on the far right is a guy named JJ - you've heard him play bass before on the impossibly catchy mega-hit 'Kiss Me' by Sixpence None the Richer!

ec quotes: "I miss working with each and every one of them."
to which the house replies: "well if u miss them so much, why don't ya (marry them? no..) put on some more 'berries shows!!" ;-)
we all know it ain't as easy as it sounds, but life could be worse not having die-hard fans like the 3k or so of us who packed the downtown cleveland theatre not so long ago; hell, we'd do it again, i'd wager!

wow, so who was singing lead on the beatles cover? wasnt ec, right?
oops, never mind, hadnt looked at page 2 of the thread b4 i posted

easily the weirdest music 'news of the weird' this year. terribly tragic too. what a great band ELO was.. may he have his cello in heaven w/ him.. thx for the music, Mike!
-
i love it, but any version done anywhere by anyone is, let's face it, downhill from the 'berries; still, glad to see 'em pluggin' away at it & keeping the fire burning by wearing their influences proudly on their sleeves!
love dude's pronunciation of 'tonight' in the video..
way to go clifford records!

dante looks young still, & paul schaeffer intro'ed him as "the guy who opened the door for me to the music biz" or some such accolade
cant say i ever knew what the guy looked like, tho i'm sure i saw a pic b4

hollies - look at us agreeing on sumthin! u should hear it, its a load of cr*p..
-
oops, looks like 1 orig member (steve priest, bass) + a bunch of LA heavy metal guys <groan>. they tout a "new single" which is none other than... a heavy metal version of "i saw her standing there" - color me soured (get it?) & jaded!
-
maybe i missed this before, but did y'all know The Sweet is reunited/touring? i think w/ 2 orig members. now there's some power pop for ya, w/ a side of glam. i wonder if EC & the 'berries dug 'em?
-
hey i have a question - were the backup members present at the HOF show? can't really tell by the recording (i've only listened to half a song so far)
-
I think u r talking about Graham Nash who I forget was in the Hollies (I think)
-
Heard 'Jennifer Eccles' on XM today for the first time - great tune! Those guys just keep on giving to a neophyte like me..
-
Can someone just go ahead & book 'em for another Christmas season show at that wonderful theatre there in Cleveland?
from an outsider's perspective, the town was beautiful & sparkling in the snowfal the next day. I think I nailed the "from farthest awayest" fan category & we got stuck there for an extra day or two bc of the snowstorm
hope they decide to do it again. The band was just insanely on that night
-
Bernie had an interesting post on this once - think he said the instruments were dubbed but the vox were live
it's a great clip, well-preserved, & u gotta love eric's comments re: the ladies from the audience who "inquire within"
I think Bernie also said it was shortly before the change in the rhythm section lineup
-
ok this was a cool photo update, w/ cool backstories.. way to dig 'em up bernie, your bench is deep, very deep

Happy Holliedays to Hollies65, who i thought of & grinned for immediately when i heard this on the radio

thx darlene - she looks fwd to debating you on the health care issue, among others! ;-) u 2 hollies!
i play ukulele to her every day, btw - it's a blast. soon i will work out a 'berries tune on the uke!

shelley & rockynrobin - i was in the same boat until their LA & cleveland christmas show, & let me just say that having travelled all the way from texas for the shows, if they play again, it is fully worth whatever travels & travails you must go thru to get there; so do *just that* - get there! you won't be disappointed & it will make up for all those lost years when you didn't see them back in their heyday - plus they are capped off w/ 3 backing musicians helping to fully round out their sound to maximum, drenching, power-pop effectiveness. commit yourself to it now, should it happen again ;-)

Was checking out a bunch of Badfinger vids, reading up on their history, & thinking back on all the power pop fans here, & decided to check in w folks here. I used to post a lot in the forum here & hope many or most of the same folks are still around. Lots of you I met at the reunion concert in Cleveland at that magnificent theatre downtown, where the Raspberries KILLED and we all had a great time partying before, during, & after the show (I also caught them in LA @ House of Blues reunion show). Hope everyone's been well & can drop in & say hey! - Austinberries
