Hey wings of p thank you for the spot in your thingybob I am happy to admit we preferred to play live on TV because everyone thought we were a boy band because we were young, and we didn't think that much of ourselves and never wanted to impress musicians. Now it's nice that those boys up there with me get the reward of acclaim from other musicians which they didnt get back then being in the shadow of the beatles and the shadows. on wings we go peter noone (HERMAN)

Wings of Pegasus looks like the happiest dude in the world when he is listening to music. He becomes this beaming light of positivity

I always thought Herman's Hermits were very underrated

Herman's Hermits was great. Peter Noone was one of the first of the British Invasion singers that actually sounded English to us American kids. They put out some really good songs.

Peter Noone was not just a great sixties rocker, he later worked to raised money to get a handicapped-friendly van for the crippled Mike Smith (the great lead singer of the DC5): that was one of his greatest hits.

Saw Peter Noone in concert last year (2019), and his voice was still great! He even included non-Hermit Hermits songs, Elvis included. The guy can sing!!

I'd like for people to know what a good human being Peter Noone is. He was instrumental in raising funds to assist the late Mike Smith of The DC5 when he suffered a severe spinal cord injury. Cute smile, damn fine man. Everyone stay well! 😷❤️

I shared the stage with Peter Noon. He and his band were great! He’s a very funny guy and really knows how to work a crowd…

One of my favorite 'British Invasion' bands. Peter Noone's ageless. Puts me in mind of how time seemed to stand still for years, for producer/music personality Dick Clark.

For all you rockers it is useful to point out that Herman's Hermits were a BOY BAND. We were all teenagers and getting where we got was a great achievement and all the praise for the success can be shared equally by EVERYONE who was around at the time including the lady who made the tea and cucumber sandwiches. We grew up in the shadow of greatness and never tried to impress other musicians. You know what happens to people who want to impress musicians. We wanted to be popular and with MICKIE MOST at the controls and having the opportunity to ask our friends who would become led zeppelin to slap a guitar on this jimmy and hey clem come up with a groove and vic flick can you slam a guitar that will work on this one, all of whom happened to be in the studio looking for opportunities to PLAY not WORK our dream came true. we wanted to be heard on the radio like HARRY SECOMBE

Yes, they played live.. I even remember Peter...at least once, on a show..purposely...left out a word...and smiled...to SHOW they were playing live.. that band always ...sounded great live...and their personality...always...played a part in their performances...

I was a huge HH fan from the age of 12 and still am! HUGE crush on Peter. Wonderfully talented band with a humble attitude. I would LOVE to see Peter perform live.

Thankyou again...FIL. ..their music was so great...part of the soundtrack to my life...and thankyou Herman and your Hermits..it's great to see your comment Herman...this is so great..😀

My dad sees these guys every year. He took a friend and I last year - seriously one of the best shows! Peter is hilarious and his voice sounds fantastic. If we get out of this pandemic and you have the chance, I highly recommend seeing them. Absolutely wonderful!

"No Milk Today" written by Graham Gouldman who wrote songs for The Hollies, The Yardbirds, and Herman's Hermits. This English band has many great songs that never get old nor tired of listening. Peter Noone is fun to watch. Saw him perform at Foxwoods in Connecticut and he is a incredible entertainer.

Wow, nothing better than the actual musician himself responding to Fil and praising his analysis. That was just plain cool 😎

I love your unique analysis of different songs by different artists. Even when it's negative you put a positive spin on it.

I am ever amazed at the talent and innocent poise of these teenage boys. I was 13 when my family visited my dad's relatives in Manchester, England from the US, in late 1965. The cousins were so proud of their hometown boys, Herman's Hermits! I remember all of us loudly singing along with all of their songs. What fun times!

Normal and talented young boys having fun and expressing themselves without embarrassing anyone, where are those humans now?

Derek Leckenby actually played the solos on a number of their hits, which was quite an accomplishment considering that the best session guitarists in London (Jimmy Page and Big Jim Sullivan) were just a phone call away. And Peter Noone is such a natural! Perhaps the most underrated band in the British Invasion.

Herman’s Hermits! Gosh I love them!! Last I knew ,Peter Noone was still performing ,around the U.S. anyway.

A terrific live performance by a bunch of very accomplished young musicians. Great video explaining what's exactly going on.

Really like this guy's reactions. My husband was a milkman in the 60s and one morning a note sticking out of a bottle just said 'Herman's Hermits 1966'. 😂

When I was a tyke I loved Herman's Hermits but I've never heard this tune....LOVED IT. Great video....Thank You.

The illusion of musical perfection is in itself magical. The sheer joy and enthusiasm of this host is what makes these trips down memorylane enjoyable.

The Peter & The Hermits played at Count Basie Theater June 2003. My wife surprised me with tickets to see them. Yes, their music is still Great Stuff!!! And to my surprise to realize that Peter Noone stood 6'3" tall, when he signed one of my favorite Herman's Hermit albums from childhood. His replacement musicians did an incredible job w/ those classic songs of way back then. Thanks again to Peter Noone.

Herman's Hermits were a good band who could definitely play live very well. Shared the stage with Peter Noone later in his years with his "new "Hermit band and they also were very good live. As Peter got older, his voice even got better. He looks and still sounds really good today in 2023 because he took care of himself. He was a huge reason the British Invasion was so dominate.

Peter has an iconic voice that contributed to their songs being hits. In this clip Peter is forming the words with his mouth in a natural way and not robotic miming. Thanks for the interesting facts on fixing guitar mistakes.

Lovely memories from my childhood with Herman's Hermits and the British Invasion. Dear Wings of Pegasus, I like your channel and the passion you show. Congrats!!

I use to be a Volvo Service advisor in Santa Barbara '79, One Day Chris Hillman from the Byrds stopped in for service & decided to wait for his car instead of taking a loaner, 20 Minutes Later, Kenny Loggins arrives & see's Chris Hillman & decides to stay, 25 minutes after that comes Peter Noone, It was so cool, They all hung out in the Lounge while the cars were being serviced & were talking Life & Music,

I was always impressed by Peter Noone and Herman's Hermits. I saw Peter for the first time after all these years. He is now 77 years old and yes, his voice really was impressive.❤❤ Thanks for the expert analysis as usual!❤❤❤❤

Blessed to see him 2 years ago in a casino in Oregon. What a comfortable entertainer, and his great voice, still the same, nailed it.........everyone had such a great time..singing along encouraged..such a great time perminant smile all through concert...always wondered if he was as nice as he seemed....blown away after the last song he walked off the stage and his band announced he was out in the hall to sign autographs and chat to each and everyone that wanted to stay. Absoluty a fab entertainer....do go see.

I played a lot of gigs with the Hermits. This is definitely live. By the way the guy turning down the volume on the guitar is not hopwood, it's Lek Leckenby. These guys were fun to work with. they brought their own scotch with them. It was called Bell Scotch . they all got pretty loaded when they played, but they didn't smoke pot. They said that made them introvert, but the scotch made them extravert

Yes, took me a while, but like you said, when Noone did a little parody of the vocal part and then smiled at his own joke, you could hear the smile. Can't fake that!

Hi Wings, I'm a newbie but what I love is you're authenticity when you smile at certain points when listening. I smile at the same time as you. Need I say more. I just get it. Thank you x

Hey Fil, I was so lucky to have seen the Hermits in person back in the early or mid sixties. They were excellent in person clearly talented with their instruments. Peter Noone had loads of carisma and was fun to watch.

Peter Noone did a concert here at Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut and he was fabulous! His act and singing were clear and very entertaining. Thank you for your analysis. Always enjoyable to listen and learn new things about my favorite 60s English bands.

Wow, Herman's Hermits! Reminds me of when I was in the 3rd grade and would put on a concert at recess singing Henry the 8th! These guys always had great songs and made great memories for all of us!!!

Fil, I have no idea how you do what you do. I love the performers you analyze, but I think the real star of your video channel is Fil himself. You're the most entertaining personality to ever bless the realm of KZfaq cyberspace. Rock on!

Oh my I can not even tell you how much I loved Peter Noone when I was nine years old and to see that he responded to you makes me smile,One day I hope to see him in person. What a joy this is.

Very interesting! I first saw them in 1965. My 6th grade teacher took a few of us girls to his concert! What an experience! Still a big fan today! Peter Noone is the Best! ❤️🎵❤️🎵❤️

I especially enjoyed this one, Fil....probably because of my age and the fact that I remember all of Peter’s songs. I’ve also seen him twice over the past 2-3 years and I can tell you that he STILL puts on a fantastic show....MUCH better than most rockers his age. It’s very clear when you see him that he is an entertainer, not just a singer. He really gets the crowd worked up and it’s an amazing thing to see. You would also never guess that he’s in his early 70s when you watch him perform. Anyway, wonderful job on this one, as usual!

This is my favorite Herman's Hermits song. Thank you.

So pleasant to watch you validate this amazing piece. Thanks for sharing joy and knowledge.

Peter still performs and had more energy than any performer I've ever seen. Fabulous shows! Enjoyed this. Thanks, Fil!

I heard an interview with Herman asking him what their most requested song to this day is and he said it was No Milk Today! Great song.

Another wonderful song from Peter and the boys. So many hits. Thanks Fil for reviewing 60s artists who truly had talent.

I'm Facebook friends with Peter, and he keeps us all up to speed with his tour dates. He'll even pop up right before a performance.

Saw Peter Noone a couple of weeks ago. He puts on a great show. The consummate pro. Btw, he killed this tune. 😊

Being a 50 year drummer, that roll into the last chorus shows that he is actually playing. When you are miming, sometimes drummers miss those rolls.

Thank GOD for the British Invasion music scene. I still love the Sixties British pop music and HH was one of the best. And this is my favorite HH tune of all time. Thanks.

Loved all their songs. Many beautiful memories as a teenager.

Another great ,fascinating , entertaining ,analysis Wings of Pegasus. i love your videos!

Really appreciate the demonstration on your guitar Fil! (and mentioning that mistakes are made ) Way down memory lane with this group ! your analysis is awesome ! \m/

I was so lucky to be a teenager back in the 60's. Such great music. I had the pleasure of attending a HH concert about 10 years ago. What an amazing night it was. Peter N. was fantastic. Such a humourous guy and his fabulous impressions. What a talent!

Great song Fil and what a great band they were! One of my mother’s all time favourites who introduced their music to me at a young age! Thanks Mum! Cheers Mario! 😀🤘👌

My teen crush ❤️ Most of their songs sound like bubble gum music now, but I did love them way back when. Thanks, Fil, for verifying their authenticity ❣️

A couple of those drum fils are so recognizable as being from the mid 1960s--one can hear them in many other songs. Great work laying down the bricks behind the kit.

The Hollywood Palace, The Ed Sullivan Show, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, The Andy Williams Show, The Flip Wilson and many others featured acts that sang live.

You explain that really well about the way throwing yourself off by making a mistake and then continuing to make mistakes because you dwell on the one you just did.

Man, as a young kid I loved Herman's Hermits. Peter Blair Bernard Denis Noone was my idol.

Fil, You continue to amaze! Considerate analysis of technique and performance pitfalls/triumphs. Thnx!

Saw Peter Noon live in York in the 90s. He kissed my hand. Me and my friend, who would have been 40, screamed like teenagers when Peter came out!! Happy days!!

I always enjoyed listening to these guys on the radio when I was younger. I think I was around 12 at the time. Thanks for the trip down memory lane Fil! Cheers, Steve in USA

Peter Noone, Derek Leckenby, Keith Hopwood, Karl Green, Barry Whitwam, are all talented guys in their own rights. Herman's Hermits where a fun band with great tunes. thanks for analysis these guys great demonstration again Fil.

something tells me im into something good, THANKS FIL

Herman’s hermits were fun. Covering an error and moving on is no small thing Love your Videos. Thank you.

They sound so great ! Derek was a wonderful guitarist and the rest of the band are top musicians.

Fil, this Band was unique because their style was English Music Hall and no one else was doing it at the time. I saw Peter Noone about 7 years ago and he was six feet tall and gave a great show.

His lower notes come out better live than on the record!

Good to see HH getting some deserved attention.

These guys were amazing ,Noon still sounds this good today, last I saw

The B&W vids are back, its classic rock history time classmates... Let's see what Fil has in store for us ? I'm sure it will be cool,informative and interesting 😆🤘 " class is in session " Yes the guitar is coming out ! 😉 Great stuff Fil I told you guys it would be interesting, that's why I never miss a night & there we have it.......... Thanx teach ! ✌😎

Saw them live at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles when I was 13 in 1966. They were a GREAT band.

Another excellent overview and analysis! Thanks for covering this song.

Thanks for this review. Loved HH as a teen; part of that British Invasion we all loved here in US.

Herman’s Hermits were a fave of mine back in the 60’s. Yep, ‘There’s a kind of hush’ was a big hit here in the States! I think ‘Henry the 8th’ was the first I heard of the group, fun song to sing as young teens...Great analysis Fil!

Saw Peter two years ago in concert, he had the place on its feet! What a talent!!!

One of my favorites again. Wish I could talk music to you all the time. You have an encyclopedic knowledge, I have a rolodex in my head. I loved the HH. I learned what a bloke was!

Yep that's live.i saw them in 66.i was so in love with him at 15 years old..🥰🥰🥰

Less than 15 seconds into the song and I can't fathom how anyone could think this _isn't_ live. Of _course_ it is, the sound is unmistakable.

As a kid I listened to the Best of Herman's Hermits album easily over a 100 times Such a great time for music !!

Great analysis Fil! I was a young schoolboy when this was a hit. The British Invasion was a huge part of my youth and songs like this bring me back to a wonderful place and time in my life.

One time I was playing rhythm guitar on a song & during the guitar solo (other guy!) the videographer was trained on MY hands! When I mentioned it to him later, he said "Nobody will know." And he was a musician!

"No Milk Today," was written by the great Graham Gouldman ("For Your Love," "Heart Full of Soul," "Look Through Any Window," etc.) Mikey Most, the Hermits' producer, at some point used Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and other session men on the Hermits' recordings, and the band was very upset when they found out that tracks had been laid down without them. Especially upset was late lead guitarist, Derek "Lek" Leckenby. The band stood up for him, but all Mickey Most could do was insult them, when he commented in a documentary on himself, and said that, other than Noone, the band were "unemployable" and were lucky to have fallen into whatever good fortune they had. Mickey Most also said in that documentary that Peter Noone, who clearly was the star of the band, should have focused on one profession or the other, either singing or acting, and that he was spread too thin after the Hermits by trying to have a multifaceted career. While Mickey had unbelievably great song-picking instincts, his early days of producing with the Hermits, the Animals, etc. were of the "Bing-Bang-Boom" school, minimizing studio time---and hence maximizing profits---by recording pretty much everything live, and in one take if at all possible. Eric Burden speaks of this production "process" quite pointedly when talking about recording "House of the Rising Sun" and other hits, saying they'd be laying down an album in half a day, with other bands such as Herman's Hermits waiting in the hallway. Mickey's favorite word: "NEXT!!!" Truly, Mickey Most was the complete merger of art and commerce, with the balance falling heavily on the commerce side. But I guess that's how you end up driving a Rolls Royce and living in a castle whilst band members huddle together "in a mean street back of town...just two up, two down." From Wikipedia: Leckenby played on all the band's US and UK Number One hits and provided the solo on "I'm Henry VIII, I Am". Karl Green commented on VH1's My Generation-Herman's Hermits that Most's use of session musicians on some of the band's records was unfair to Leckenby in particular. During the 1970s and 1980s, Leckenby tried to set the record straight with the rock media, explaining the large body of guitar playing he contributed to the band's records. Even the band's US label ABKCO failed to credit the Hermits' playing in the liner notes to its retrospective on the band. Leckenby's skills are apparent not only on Herman's Hermits records, but also on videos of the band's live appearances including the 1965 NME music awards and the Herman's Hermits Hilton Show. Additionally, Leckenby can be heard on several releases by Hopwood's Pluto Music, including the compilation album Vault 69. Leckenby is credited with arranging the band's first big hit, "I'm into Something Good". His skills on guitar and dobro are heard on releases such as the LP A Whale of a Tale and the later singles, such as "Ginny Go Softly" and "Heart Get Ready for Love". Despite the split with Noone, Leckenby always spoke highly of his friend and defended the singer's vocal abilities to critics. Noone also praised Leckenby's talent in numerous interviews over the years.

I had a grade school teacher named Mrs. Brown. (She was a cool and knowing woman who loved baseball. Herman’s Mrs. Brown must’ve been lovely, too!) Taking a break but coming back ASAP! 👍🏼 And why kind of bloke would marry a widow who’s been married seven times before? A proud one! 😄

i saw it differently their body language distinguishes how well they could actually play up on stage. I've been around musicians all my life; and when a group body's sing along with their composition , it is a dead give away it was live. Also, Peter was jumping from the drums and one of the guitars, just by watching his rhythm you can . tell which he was following at the time - Your cover of Hotel California was awesome! You are really good

I listened to this at work, then came home and watched it. Had to see what you were talking about. Very nice analysis Fil.

I loved Peter Noone when I was a kid. He is really charismatic. i was right! Excellent instructional video as usual. Very respectful in highlighting the group's humanity. You play your guitar wonderfully!

💥Got me on this one Fil. I lived through these times and have never seen this performance. Live or dubbed it really didn’t matter. It was a new media for performers and took time to figure it all out. Thank you for all you do. 👍👍✌️

I just saw this band last night in Derry, NH, USA. Still great. I believe Peter was 75.( I'm 72. I certainly remember those songs.) To their credit, they also performed songs of their contemporaries. The Beatles, Stones, Hollies, Skeeter Davis etc. Thoroughly entertained. Thanx for your analysis Phil. Always great. I'm a performing musician myself, and know exactly what you're saying.

I love the way you explain all the performance, the singing and each instrument. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. 🇨🇦🇬🇧🍁

Hey! Herman's Hermits... I'm all signed up! One of best Happy-sounding-Sad songs ever. Very cool analysis, as fun as the song!

All I had to see was Herman’s hermits and you had me. I was born in 1959 so just a little girl with older brothers and sisters that expands my music interest from the late 50’s to my own era of the 70’s. Herman’s hermits were one of the favorites

We went on a vacation to Atlantic City back in 1966 or 1967 when I was about 12-13. Our rooms were on the top floor of our hotel. Across the street on the top floor of that hotel was Herman’s Hermits. The street below was jammed with screaming girls. We could wave to each other but couldn’t hear each other because of the big ballyhoo below. We snapped a bunch of pictures but you couldn’t tell whether it was the Hermits or The Rolling Stones! Thanks Fil for the great explanation on this subject. PS: The CC’s were on fo mine and what a laugh! Totally off the wall!😂

🥰😍❤️❤️❤️ Peter Noone Herman's Hermits my favorite British invasion band ever and No Milk Today my favorite song this brings tears I remember on the record there was a string section violins made such an impression on me as a child ! Yes Peter was sooo young and still has a terrific voice I just love him what a good guy or bloke I should say, thank you very much for this Fil you should have a million subscribers you're brilliant 👏😘😎

Fil - Peter Noone is one of the GREAT lead singers of all time in rock n roll. Very underrated. I have seen The Hermits without him and Peter also. They are all nice people. Peter is the Hermans Hermits. I met Derek a couple of times. A good guy. RIP.

I had the 45 with Kind of a Hush. Both songs were played in Cleveland pretty much daily.

Definitely live. The person requesting whether this performance was live or not only needed to listen to the original recording to recognize the difference plus the sound in this video isn’t cleaned up like a record would be. Thanks for doing this all the same. It’s a great song/performsnce. Funny how the lyric “the company was gay” meant something entirely different in 1966! Peter Noone just played last night in NYC. He’s 76 and he sounds great still. He takes great care of his voice and does operatic exercises to warm up before every show. He only plays the US as far as I know. You should check out some of his recent performances on KZfaq if you have time. I love how you show so much regard and respect for 1960s and 1970s artists! There was so much magic in the music in those days! I am nearly 70 and I still think of the years 1964-1974 as being the most inventive and creative in rock history.

Man I really love your videos of the old music. At 69 years of age it sounds like real music to me. Thanks a million.
