Back in the day, a music journalist once described LRB as Australia's answer to The Eagles. Probably because of their great studio sound and vocal harmonies.
@@PrisonKilljoy I had always loved "Reminiscing" and when I saw the CD in the record store (remember those?) I looked at the other songs on there and realized they were all great. I think it was $5.
I was crazy about this band back in the day, their musicianship and harmonizing was brilliant. Helped to put Australia on the map musically. Still love their songs 🥰
Ya know, Jamal...I watch you bcuz I love your personality....I wish we could share a case of beer and talk about classic rock n football...you're the best bruh...✌😎
I turned 18 in March of 74. Was probably the best summer of my life. Graduated, got a job, bought a car, and partied my ass off. Even got a speeding ticket for doing 95 in a 35 zone. The cool part was after the cop got done screaming at me, it was the 1st time i ever had a cop yell "just where the fuck is the fire", i apologized and he took the reckless operation fine off the ticket so i only had 2 points on me instead of 6. Which would have skyrocketed my insurance.
Whenever I float around RUclips the first thing I check is to see if j aka j reacted to a song I like . When I see the genuine joy on your face that matches the joy I feel listening to some of these songs it makes my day . Thanks for making RUclips a better place and thank your parents for getting freaky-deeky back in 1980 or so lol
Please check out Atlanta Rhythm Section, So into you, Imaginary Lover and much more. I am loving the LRB reactions , taking me back to a wonderful time in music 😊♥️
Yep. They even did a couple Eagles songs with Glenn Frey while they were both on tour in Australia back in the 90’s. They’re on the Reminiscing 2 cd set.
Jamel, I’m thinking, you are going to have to give up your regular job, to fulfill all the request. 😂💞The list just keeps on growing. Thanks again. For all the effort and especially the reactions. I’m constantly smiling, if not laughing! You are doing a fantastic job!
I love the opening sound, it's always recognizable. Beautiful music, lyrics and idea that causes one to reminisce. I guess I'm from that era because the boys in the band are so handsome, well groomed, gentleman. Indeed, a favourite !
Live concerts were the best. Brought everyone in the crowd together with ear to ear smiles. This is a talented band and kids today should hear what talent is.
Totally underrated band. Going to college I shared an apartment with a guy whose dad owned a club. So he saw lots of acts. He said LRB was his favorite show.
The Babys rocked. Love that one,plus, "Midnight Rendezvous", and "Everytime I Think of You". Saw them open for Journey back in about 1980. They were awwwsum!
LRB was such a “ Cool Change “ when they came along and hit the US charts . I was working at an Arby’s in High School . Our Manager brought in their debut album and we listened to it in its entirety one Friday night after closing and during our cleanup and next day prep ! Excellent!!
Tempted is one of my fave songs ever! I remember when I bought Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, back in 2002, and I heard Tempted on one of the radio stations, I was so excited! Of course, this game, as well as GTA San Andreas, have the best soundtracks! 70s, 80s, and 90s music are the best!
Kathy Sandru ... Oh yeah... I remember “coffee in bed” when it came out. Loved the video. Born in 70, think I was about 10 or 11. Always reminds me of playing Donkey Kong JR at Godfathers Pizza with my friends...lol. Good times... better times.
LRB were super super tight, great leas vocals, supreme harmonies, high quality musicians, some honey sweet guitar licks , and fantastic lyrics and arrangements, simply brilliant. Thanks for featuring them Jamal.
Jamal, I'm so glad you're giving these guys a listen to! While you're at it, I have one for you too check out. The band is Pablo Cruise, the song is called What You Gonna Do. They have others, but start from there. Enjoy!! Love your videos bro
I'm smiling so big and bright eyed right now. Love you for reacting to this, one of my all time favorites. I was so disappointed at first, to think it might be live, because I'm not a fan of live stuff, but thank goodness it's dubbed over.
I was born January 1970 so I grew up listening to Little River Band. I’m from Miami yacht rock was a big deal back in the day. And my mother, because she had such amazing taste in music, I was blessed with growing up, listening to really amazing bands. This is by far one of my favorite bands of all time.
LRB, it's a long way there, is a real powerhouse of a song. Great instrumental lead in, and the kind of vocals you have come to expect from them. Gotta do the long version.
Yes, yes, yes...and I can not emphasize this enough... YAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS!!! Please react to "It's A Long Way There" - 8+ minute version. You will NOT be disappointed!!! It WILL blow you away!!
It’s rare that a band can have two different lead singers that fit so well. Only the Eagles, Beatles, and BeeGees could switch leads and sound so good!!
Jamel... you are adorable!! I love watching your reactions to all the music I have loved since being a kid. I am continuing my campaign for you to react to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers "You Got Lucky". You will love the beat, vocals and video!! Trust me... you won't be disappointed!! Thanks for keeping us smiling during this bleak time!! God Bless!!

Glen Frey called them the best singing band around. Ive seen them live several times in the last few years and they are better than ever. If u get the chance to see them live don't miss it. U will b blown away
@@heatherbegs I was born in July of 1960 I was just saying that my friend's dad took us to discotheque and they play that song a lot... I am a Alice Cooper, scorpions Judas priest Joe satriani and 80s hair bands fan
David Humiston lol, i was totally ‘soft rock’ and disco but had a boyfriend in 1974 who exposed me to Pink Floyd and Uriah Heep. I now appreciate AC/DC, Rush (as a Canadian) so I do think your taste can expand. Love how you mentioned Air Supply as that was one of my jams 🥰
@@heatherbegs those are some great bands as well growing up in the 60s 70s I learned appreciate all that music my older brother liked deep purple & CCR another brother like Fleetwood Mac younger brother like Lynyrd Skynyrd foghat ZZ top
I wanted to Thank You for being such a positive force in these trying times. We are all in this together. This Italian American has your back my friend.
Dude ... I just discovered your channel .. I absolutely love seeing someone younger hearing the songs of my generation for the first time and admitting how much better they are than today's stuff .
I saw the Little River Band in the early 80s in Cologne, Germany. It was, until now, one of the best concerts i ever listen to. Their harmony vocals are outstanding. Fantastic band!
I loved them in their hayday, one of my fave bands back in the day. I had no idea until recently they were Aussies though. For some reason, they never turned out many great bands. Canada has a small population too, yet we've more than pulled out weight when it comes to superstar performers. I guess it's like they say w/ the Seattle grunge scene, not much else to do in miserable winters, and ours are way worse.
Sainte Jeanne d'Arc Australia doesn’t turn out great bands? Besides world famous groups such as The Bee Gees (yes they were born in England but came to Australia as children and started their career in Australia), The Easybeats, LRB, AC/DC, INXS, Crowded House, Air Supply, Savage Garden, the Divinyls, Men At Work and Silver Chair, there are countless Australian bands and artists who have had one or two major international hits but have also had long successful careers in Australia and countries outside of North America. If you aren’t aware of them, look up Under The Milky Way by the Church, Electric Blue by Icehouse, Know Your Product by The Saints, Live It up by Mental As Anything, Send Me An Angel by Real Life, Throw Your Arms Around Me by Hunters and Collectors (Eddie Vedder has covered it), Flame Trees by Cold Chisel, Hercules by Midnight Oil, Burn Your Name by Powderfinger, Walking On a Dream by Empire of the Sun, Woman by Wolfmother, Purple Sneakers by You Am I, Cosby Sweater by Hilltop Hoods or Are You Gonna Be my Girl by Jet. Those are songs that were either hits in Australia or overseas and give an idea of the different types of Aussie groups. There are far too many to name. The beauty of the 70s and 80s in Australia when I was younger and going to watch live music was that there was a vibrant pub scene from which most of the bands learned their craft, and for $5 we could go to see these bands in pubs in the suburbs one day, and then hear their records on radio or see them on television in the same week.
Sainte Jeanne d'Arc all good - here’s early AC/DC from Aussie show Countdown in 1975 - clip isn’t great quality ruclips.net/video/Jmoz-cRCXQE/видео.html
Sainte Jeanne d'Arc and Bon had an interesting history before AC/DC including back up vocalist in this bubble gum pop band The Valentines ruclips.net/video/zdXnCIHstnI/видео.html
It may be apocryphal, but many years ago I heard the story that Glenn Shorrock was driving to my hometown Geelong, from Melbourne to perform a gig and passed by the small town of Little River, population about 2k. And that's when they picked the name Little River Band. They were famous for their harmonies. Perhaps Australia's first success on the International stage.
You Tube seriously needs a love button!!!! i adore your reactions! You feel it! LRB Greatest hits has a bunch of great tunes, such awesome harmony! I'm so glad i found your channel, makes me laugh and smile even on some really crummy days :0)
This is one of my all time favorite bands. They originally were an Australian band, but did a lot of their recording in LA. When the original members left, their bass guitarist, Wayne Nelson, from the U.S. has been leading LRB on tours around the country to this day. Unfortunately, the original members (shown in this video) lost their ownership rights when they left, so when they eventually got back together, they went by their last names when touring Australia.
Tom Hansen Yes it’s a disgrace. The American bassist wasn’t even an original member ......just got a good lawyer. It’s very sad for the original members, given that most bands seem to reform at some stage. They can’t call themselves LRB. The American basically has a cover band he calls the Little River Band. Without Glenn Shorrocks voice it ain’t LRB.
I seen them in Anchorage AK IN 1990 in a small but very acoustic friendly theatre.. they were amazing and sounded just like they did in this video. I was blown away. Awesome band and great music!
I once heard The Little River Band described as 'the musicians musicians'. They are awesome. I saw Glen Sharrock singing these songs about 4 years ago, in his 70's ... and still going!
When you have time I’d love to see you react to the band “The Band”. The Weight or Up On Cripple Creek would be a good start. Live or studio they’re amazing
Mike Lawson 100% especially the last waltz stuff but I’d take what I can get. Not enough people reacting to them and I want to see other people enjoy them lol
dmelanconjr definitely I could’ve gone on for a while. “The shape I’m in” “tears of rage” “it makes no difference” the last waltz version of “helpless” with Neil Young
I was a teen when this came out. For years I thought it was a Billy Joel song... It sounded so.... Billy Joel... but after you collect everything BJ made.. You go into the record.. (yes records!) shop and find out it's LRB. So bought most of their stuff too.
Thanks for the reaction, Jamel. Been some time since I've listened to this song. I was going through a divorce when this came out. One of my favorite bands. Take care and be well. Peace.
This song burrowed into my soul between 1979 when I was 10 and 1982. I heard it many times in that period and got so I sang along to all the words. Then I forgot about it for many years and it started coming back to me just a few years ago and hit me like a ton of bricks, a lost childhood favorite and a bombshell of nostalgia. I went on to get know their whole catalog and become a superfan.
melissa gibson I barely even listen to the music radio anymore because it’s noise to me, but give me songs from the 70s some from the 80s and I’m happy
I am a 67 year old grandma and I 💘 ur reactions to the music u listen to It brings back memories for me and ur reactions really lift me up when I feel down keep doing what u r doing because it makes the 🌎 happy.
“Lonesome Loser” Another staple.
And don’t forget “The Night Owls”🦉
Love Lonesome Loser and Night Owls. Miss hearing great musicians performing music like this.
My favorite!
Oh yes! I forgot about that one!!!
Happy Anniversary is a banger, too.
Jamel, your reactions make me smile. We all need a lot of that right now. 😊
Yes!
He strikes me as just a generally all around happy and nice guy. You're right... hard to be in a bad mood watching one of his videos.
Yes, I smile and laugh. Best reactor ever. My happy place is this channel. 💞
His reactions make me smile!
Yes!!
Glenn Shorrock, an Australian music legend. Boy oh boy he can sing. And their melodies were insanely beautiful.
Glenn Shorrock: a voice as smooth as a good whiskey.
And we're talking pre-autotune era. You really had to be able to sing, back in the day
Niel Young, Geddy Lee, Bob Dylan to name a few that didn't need great voices. Im sure there are more not so great singers
@@cameranmanner4701...and the point sails right over your head...
@@Relayer56 No dipshit, u said you really had to sing back in the day. so learn to read your own post. or does mommy still need to read for you?
@@cameranmanner4701 Over. Your. Head. Try standing in s chair and reading.
@@cameranmanner4701 To be fair, Bob Dylan sometimes tried to sound all mumbly jumbly on purpose!
I love this song, it reminds me of simpler times. Thank You.
Yes I agree the music that he's been getting into has been taking me back to my early days
Me too.. love it
Another Aussie band known for their incredible harmonies who just did ballads are Air Supply. You should check them out.
OMG!!! Yes!!! Air Supply💙💙💙💙
Agreed!!!
Yes!!!
Sweet Dreams, All Out of Love, Even the Nights are Better, oh heck yes!!!
❤️
Back in the day, a music journalist once described LRB as Australia's answer to The Eagles. Probably because of their great studio sound and vocal harmonies.
When they hit the charts, they bulldozed their way up it.
I have their greatest hits and there's not one clunker on that thing. No filler! These guys are really talented.
@@JustWasted3HoursHere one of my favorite CD's.
@@JustWasted3HoursHere My sister bought it for me for my 12th birthday, the year it came out. Been a fan ever since.
@@ATalkingBadger It's a good one, for sure. Paul McCartney's "All the Hits" is another one I turn to.
@@PrisonKilljoy I had always loved "Reminiscing" and when I saw the CD in the record store (remember those?) I looked at the other songs on there and realized they were all great. I think it was $5.
You are fully in the LRB rabbit hole ...... “Man on Your Mind” and “The Night Owls” and “It’s A Long Way There”.......
Hang On....Help is on way....I'll be there as fast as I can! LOL!!!
Yes! I totally forgot about The Night Owls! Lonesome Loser too!
Oh, I just thought of one I haven't heard in a MINUTE: "The Other Guy." Grown folks music.
All great songs, but another hit song of theirs is "Happy Anniversary "
Every time someone give a little river band song a thumbs up, Bon Scott has to smoke a turd in hell.
And baby Jesus cries too.😉
I was crazy about this band back in the day, their musicianship and harmonizing was brilliant. Helped to put Australia on the map musically. Still love their songs 🥰
Ya know, Jamal...I watch you bcuz I love your personality....I wish we could share a case of beer and talk about classic rock n football...you're the best bruh...✌😎
I want a ticket to a fan party
"Feel for the winter but don't have a cold heart"
Funny you would say that becasue "I was born in the Winter and cooled by a warm heart".
@@Jay.McCarty One of the lucky ones.
Middle Man... Mistress of Mine... it's a long way there... happy anniversary...
I wish I could turn back time to the 70's and re live the music of the 70's
It was great being a teenager in the ‘70.
AMEN TO THAT JASON 👍♥️
Music was much more pleasing to listen to back then.
I turned 18 in March of 74. Was probably the best summer of my life. Graduated, got a job, bought a car, and partied my ass off.
Even got a speeding ticket for doing 95 in a 35 zone. The cool part was after the cop got done screaming at me, it was the 1st time i ever had a cop yell "just where the fuck is the fire", i apologized and he took the reckless operation fine off the ticket so i only had 2 points on me instead of 6. Which would have skyrocketed my insurance.

Such a perfect comment. You were reading my mind.
the sweet, sweet sound of 70's soft rock. They will live forever

Yes please...
Doraville, Champaign Jam, Georgia Rythm and Homesick are all great ARS songs too.
@@brianmiller6055 I agree 😁
Yes, please.........
Oh yes, definitely some ARS! I'd also include "Alien" as a lesser known but solid ARS hit. 😻
Never stop singing. Never.
If the music takes you there, go.
Your reaction is like a child on Christmas morning, love it. So glad you get to hear and experience and appreciate all this music.
Little River Band are the Eagles of the Southern Hemisphere!
Yep. They even did a couple Eagles songs with Glenn Frey while they were both on tour in Australia back in the 90’s. They’re on the Reminiscing 2 cd set.
"Lonesome Loser", "Help Is On It's Way", and "We Two" (feat. John Farnham) are my recommendations
*"Help Is On It's Way"* is my favorite...
@Paul Perri. Loved Farnham on 'the Littler River Band's 'No Reigns' , the whole album is so under-rated!!
"Sleepless Nights" is a real gem off of "The Net" album, along with "We Two".
Original singer please
@@alrivers2297 The first two songs I listed are for the original. The last is Farnham. Sorry for the confusion.
It's good to see how the younger generation appreciates music from the 70s. What a memorable decade for me!! Thank you for sharing the music.
👊🏼✌👍🏻

LRB is so smooth and clear harmonies and lyrics.
Damn, jumped me straight back to the skating rink, age 10-12; guess I haven't heard this in a really long time.
☝☝This ☝☝ 😂💖
I was a few years older and this was my favorite couples skate song 🥰 I could cross skate backwards too bad I’m too old to teach skating LOL‼️
Scott Allen Yep, Western Kentucky. 🦋
I loved this group i was in my late teens when these guys hit the charts
Me Too. Great time to be that age.
The world made sense back then......
I love our walks down memory lane!
Loving how you are digging so many types of back in the day grooves.

Such a beautiful song and sung perfectly! 🎶🎧
Their greatest hits is awesome, listen to it often.
Totally underrated band. Going to college I shared an apartment with a guy whose dad owned a club. So he saw lots of acts. He said LRB was his favorite show.

All Baby's and John Wait ✌️👍
Baby's have so many good songs! Great band with Waite leading them!!

Pulling muscles from a shell!

Sainte Jeanne d'Arc all good - here’s early AC/DC from Aussie show Countdown in 1975 - clip isn’t great quality ruclips.net/video/Jmoz-cRCXQE/видео.html
Sainte Jeanne d'Arc and Bon had an interesting history before AC/DC including back up vocalist in this bubble gum pop band The Valentines ruclips.net/video/zdXnCIHstnI/видео.html
It may be apocryphal, but many years ago I heard the story that Glenn Shorrock was driving to my hometown Geelong, from Melbourne to perform a gig and passed by the small town of Little River, population about 2k. And that's when they picked the name Little River Band. They were famous for their harmonies. Perhaps Australia's first success on the International stage.
"Feel for the winter but don't have a cold heart" EPIC line. This band takes me back and I like it, I like it, I like it!!
another great vid., might I suggest Lonesome Loser, it's another great song from Little River Band
Yes!!
Yesssss x100
This one takes me back through the years. I guess that is part of the magic of music. Thanks brother!
Jamel, your reactions and your expressions fill me with joy! Thank you for being you!❤
Thoroughly enjoying your reactions to one of my ALL time favorites groups, Little River Band!! 💙💙💙
You Tube seriously needs a love button!!!! i adore your reactions! You feel it! LRB Greatest hits has a bunch of great tunes, such awesome harmony! I'm so glad i found your channel, makes me laugh and smile even on some really crummy days :0)
👍 Jamel!! You’d like “ *That Smell* “ by Lynyrd Skynyrd also *Tuesdays Gone* by them 🔥🙌🎧. Thanks! Have a good one and be safe brother!! 👍🙏🙌🎧
BigPete S give me three steps is always a fun Lynard Skynard.
These...!!! and Curtis Lowe
Don't Ask Me No Questions is my favorite LS song.
The Breeze by LS, nuff said. 👍
One of my favorites! Plus the Night Owls! I love LRB! 🥰
Little River Band is fantastic. I’m 44 and it makes me think of simpler times and family.
This is one of my all time favorite bands. They originally were an Australian band, but did a lot of their recording in LA. When the original members left, their bass guitarist, Wayne Nelson, from the U.S. has been leading LRB on tours around the country to this day. Unfortunately, the original members (shown in this video) lost their ownership rights when they left, so when they eventually got back together, they went by their last names when touring Australia.
Tom Hansen Yes it’s a disgrace. The American bassist wasn’t even an original member ......just got a good lawyer. It’s very sad for the original members, given that most bands seem to reform at some stage. They can’t call themselves LRB. The American basically has a cover band he calls the Little River Band. Without Glenn Shorrocks voice it ain’t LRB.
It's a long way there is the best song you'll love it
I agree.
@@stevenhendrix2004 Most definitely
I AGREE, one of their best!!!!!
I agree with you. The long version is amazing.
Incredible guitar in that
Man, I just can't help but go into harmony mode when I hear their music. One of my favorites of all time.
I seen them in Anchorage AK IN 1990 in a small but very acoustic friendly theatre.. they were amazing and sounded just like they did in this video. I was blown away. Awesome band and great music!
One of their best, A fun summer type of warm sound. Great vocals and instrumentals!
"I've always got Little River Band on Deck"
In the mid 70's - I listen to these songs all the time and they were best sounding lite-rock sound.
I once heard The Little River Band described as 'the musicians musicians'. They are awesome. I saw Glen Sharrock singing these songs about 4 years ago, in his 70's ... and still going!
When you have time I’d love to see you react to the band “The Band”. The Weight or Up On Cripple Creek would be a good start. Live or studio they’re amazing
Oh, he'd love the Band
Mike Lawson 100% especially the last waltz stuff but I’d take what I can get. Not enough people reacting to them and I want to see other people enjoy them lol
I DM'd him like two hours ago on Instagram for Band and I mentioned last Waltz
Also pushed for CSN(Y)
😊
I’d add “The Night they drove old Dixie down” and “Ophelia”.
dmelanconjr definitely I could’ve gone on for a while. “The shape I’m in” “tears of rage” “it makes no difference” the last waltz version of “helpless” with Neil Young
"LADY" (Such a FAVORITE CLASSIC!)🥰 Next up,"10 Years After", "I'd Love to Change the World",pleeeaaase?😕
I agree 10 Years After would like to see him react to Rare Earth "Get Ready"
I’d love to change the world.....definitely
@@Bg-yu3od "so I'll leave it up to you-hoo-hoo-oooo..."😉🤙
'I'm going home' Live at Woodstock version.
The Moonlight skate 😊
This band is awesome. I smile when I hear this band
This song - in a word - ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!
I was a teen when this came out. For years I thought it was a Billy Joel song...
It sounded so.... Billy Joel... but after you collect everything BJ made.. You go into the
record.. (yes records!) shop and find out it's LRB. So bought most of their stuff too.
Love seeing your reaction when you realize you know the song.
I'm a Kiwi and we love these Aussies. On our airwaves in the 70s and 80s. Still one of my favs...even 40 years later.
yes but lady is 70s Gold
The harmonies created by these guys are always amazing , just as their songs are beautifully crafted masterpieces
"Happy Anniversary" is another great one, IMHO.
Thanks for the reaction, Jamel. Been some time since I've listened to this song. I was going through a divorce when this came out. One of my favorite bands. Take care and be well. Peace.
This song burrowed into my soul between 1979 when I was 10 and 1982. I heard it many times in that period and got so I sang along to all the words. Then I forgot about it for many years and it started coming back to me just a few years ago and hit me like a ton of bricks, a lost childhood favorite and a bombshell of nostalgia. I went on to get know their whole catalog and become a superfan.
Wow. Brings back memories of swaying with that sweet thang at the Friday night high school dance.
LOVING THE LRB reactions. Lonesome Loser, Help is in the Way, Night Owls, It’s a Long Way There are other staples.
The other guy needs to be on that list as well 🤗
Whew, you are on a roll!! Right there with you!! I was 10 when this came out!! 💕
I was 7. Awesome times.
Better taste in music lol
Another 10 year old in 78 here.
melissa gibson I barely even listen to the music radio anymore because it’s noise to me, but give me songs from the 70s some from the 80s and I’m happy
I was 10 also...5th grade...loved this song.
I'm finding these a year late, and they just take me back. I'm a 70s-80s kid and just thank you!
I am a 67 year old grandma and I 💘 ur reactions to the music u listen to
It brings back memories for me and ur reactions really lift me up when I feel down keep doing what u r doing because it makes the 🌎 happy.
