REVIEW: In 1969 and 1970 Bandstand celebrated two of Britain’s biggest recording acts – broadcasting studio performances of legendary rock outfit The Hollies and beat sensation Herman’s Hermits. With 12 consecutive hit records in the US Top Ten behind them, Manchester band Herman’s Hermits join Bandstand with their “happy sound” for a string of greatest hits including “A Must To Avoid”, “There’s A Kind Of Hush”, “My Sentimental Friend” and “Silhouettes”. This episode also features local performers Jenny Green, Pat Carroll, Johnny Rebb, Allan Morrison and Jacki Weaver.

Considered at the time the most consistent British hit makers after The Beatles, with 20 international top sellers over six years, five piece band The Hollies deliver a dynamic set of songs including "He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother”, “Carrie Anne”, “Just Like A Woman”, a rollicking medley of hits including "Bus Stop” and “Sorry Suzanne” as well as a rousing rendition of the Dylan classic “Blowin’ In The Wind”. Also featuring performances from Australian artists Dianne Horder and Kamahl, receiving his first ever Gold Record and singing the songs “Somehow Someway” and “Life Must Go On”.

Special Note: Due to the huge number of performances encased in these DVDs it is not possible to list every performance. Some performances may also have appeared be in previous volumes.
