Back when The Little River Band were putting out hits I had one of their eight track cassette in my new 73 Monte Carlo. Met a cute little blond in Manhattan, Ks. that left me star struck be treated me so nice. Thank you Debbie
I don't think I'm wrong when I say that Master Shorrock is much better today than in the early LRB days. Applause also for Simon Hosford for that superb integration.
I had the luxury at 74 years old US ARMY years ago to see their first American concert in Seattle Washington 1975 totally blown away awesome vocals awesome band! Glad I'm still around to share this with you!
cannot make out the guitar brand - for LRB songs a Strat imo is apt, he's playing a HSS Strat with the bridge humbucker giving him some gain, he's using pedals for the solo, yes it's always great to see younger generations playing in bands like LRB - the pathetic story of 'how' LRB had their name stolen is a national disgrace - some yank owns the trademark and a yank band tours the US under the name "LRB" - SO wrong, however as GS said "we may not be called LRB but we bloody well sound like them". Fucking oath, national treasures, Goble owns a massive house just a few streets up from my parents, magnificent Edwardian house. He aint poor, he earned it.
@@BTR-xw4of Should be a royal commission or at best a class action from the fans [i.e.us] if only the presiding judge had been a music lover we would not be in this predicament, as an indicator Housden hides in Ireland.
@@shannonlucas2980 Simon does a great job here. But why wasn't Ric, Roger and Derek part of this? And if Ric couldn't do it, surely David Briggs could have put his own spin on it. Briggs's more layback lead style would have been a wonderful and refreshing addition that would have been more in keeping to the time the song was new.
@@karmicselling4252 This line up of the band was intended as being the original voices of the band. Apparently the three sings came up with an arrangement with their manager Glenn Wheatley that this would be a good lineup for that show. They used these other great musicians who were very experienced and familiar with the music of the band.
I saw the Little River Band on August 27, 1978 at Empire Stadium in Vancouver, the concert was called Summer Sunday. They played with Heart, Bob Welch, and Nick Gilder. Beautiful sunny day and sat mid field on the ground, probably the best concert I've ever been to.
There is only ONE Little River Band regardless of the ridiculous squabble over the name. Love this song, these guys, and the young gtr player killed it..Been in the philippines over 6 years and missing home more than ever , am from south Louisiana ..Smiling with tears in my eyes...
Nelson can shove his LRB tribute band where the sun don't shine. These guys really turned back the clock with this one. Glenn sounding as good as ever and harmonies spot on from Graham and Beeb.That lead guitar is crazy good. Would have loved to be there. Any more small gigs like this planned?
Couldn't agree more...they sound as good as they did in the 70's. Nelson may have the courts on his side, but he's morally bankrupt for doing what he's doing. Lead guitarist killed it.
I actually went to that last weekend. I only knew the night before that is was just a shell (if that). As musicians, sure they're fine. They sold out the show and the people enjoyed it. It wouldn't be fair to insult their ability. But they do not have anywhere near this chemistry and tightness. Even though this was 20+ years ago, it was also 20+ years after their "peak" and they lost nothing and even their "hired hands" are a tighter knit group than what I saw last weekend. This group could tour under this name and play the same casino, they would tear down the house. Any hint of this sound and we'll know who it is.
Kudos to your lead guitarist. some of the most natural and skilled and most of all, completely dovetailed performance. He not only played well, he was connected to the whole feel of the song. The best guitarist isn't the fastest or the most skilled, he is the one that knows when to fill, when to drive and when to shut up! I would love to see this lineup live!
I could not agree more. That innate ability can be learned, like I had to do it, but in some lucky people it seems they were born with it. And when you compare someone who had to learn how to accompany the singers, to someone who was born to do that, it's an easy thing to tell which is which. I absolutely love this performance!
You can take and keep the name of a band that you were never an original member of … But you can never take the original members Birtles,Shorrock,Gobel are the band and nothing and no one can ever change that. And this video is a testament of that truth Ahhhh .. sweet justice
Brilliant. I remember when this came out and it sounded like a better version of west coast. This is why you guy’s are so special and successful. Housden may have stolen the name but he will never have the recipe, magic or the key ingredients. Formosa’s solo is still a benchmark.
Don't worry about us true lovers of LRB S actual, original, amazing vocals and music!!!! Im in Alabama, and have searched and only tonight, found you guys!!!! What's left of my ears are so happyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!! You guys are just magic, now and of course, back then. No one can fool us, nor take away your talent, ever!!!!! THANKYOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
I don't if this was intentional, but this is what I call a good formula. Massively talented and aging musicians in the front; young, beautiful and talented musicians behind them. The best of both worlds!
Wow .... those harmonies sound as amazing as they did 47 years ago when I first heard this song. Your guitar player nailed the lead... Bravo bravo ... perfect live performance .. Thank you !!!
I can't believe how beautiful their vocal harmonies still are after all these years and that young guitarist is the greatest guitar tone I've heard in a long time
It's like your corporate executives are playing at a Corporate Christmas party, only these are the professionals 😅 Little River Band has been rocking for 50+years and still sounds brilliantly tight and refined. Long live the Australian Juggernaut 🤙🏽♥️
I would not go to the LRB coverband if it was for free. But I would pay a lot of money for these guys. I saw them once in the original lineup and I was singing 2 hours without a break. And the lead guitar player is huge.
More More More Come on guys come to the USA. You have so many fans that know the truth. Will call ya the Big River Band or The No River Band and you can Rock the house down and out 💕 Vegas sounds like a perfect place, and then I can just drive to the concert 😜
This is a LRB masterpiece. What I just looked at was a brilliant live version. The tightness, phrasing, mix, guitar lead breaks and Harmonies in my view was spot on. And to the engineer that produced the mastering of the video my hat goes off to you. Well done LRB and all involved. Thank you for posting. It lifted my spirits.
I got into LRB late in life, what a big mistake, because over the last 8 years that's all I listen to in my car, everywhere I go, these guys are the real deal and absolutely love there music..!!
Probably my overall all-time favorite band. I literally wore my 8 track out playing it over and over again. Then it came out on cassette oh my God it was like a concert in my old Pontiac. Like this young kid Simon on lead guitar. Cool as shit, keeps it original. Looks like he could play guitar and make a sandwich or paint a wall at the same time. This is some of the greatest music ever in my humble opinion

That young lead guitarist is Fanfrickentastic and a Tribute to the perfectionism of LRB .
Simon also played with Men At Work for awhile. A superb guitarist.
Couldn’t agree more. He’s amazing
Now, THIS is the real LRB. Unmistakable.
This is the real LRB and this is what real music sounds like
I think it was Glen Frey who said they were the greatest harmony band in the World. High accolades but very true.
This is the original Little River Band and they are the best
Absolutely killed it, that tribute band needs to take a hiatus, permanently
THE ONLY LITTLE RIVER BAND!!!!!!
They left the band.
I will not waste my time or money for the imitators in the USA. No comparison. Period! Blessings from Kansas~
They should come to the Cotilllion in wichita
Back when The Little River Band were putting out hits I had one of their eight track cassette in my new 73 Monte Carlo. Met a cute little blond in Manhattan, Ks. that left me star struck be treated me so nice. Thank you Debbie
My favorite Little River Band song....I am in Lawrence, Kansas.
From Kansas too, these guys are great!!!!
Well, they are coming here soon. But it`s the cover version band. So I`ll skip....
*One of Australia's best bands and the lead guitarist is awesome!*
I don't think I'm wrong when I say that Master Shorrock is much better today than in the early LRB days. Applause also for Simon Hosford for that superb integration.
Hard to believe this is 50 years later. These old geezers have still got it !!!!!
This isn't recent. It's from 2002 but they do sound great here.
Truth..perfection never gets bad . Practice practice
Makes perfect ❤
Ah!!!! Pure unadulterated talent! Nothing like the original!
I had the luxury at 74 years old US ARMY years ago to see their first American concert in Seattle Washington 1975 totally blown away awesome vocals awesome band! Glad I'm still around to share this with you!
Give anything to see him live.
So, so good to hear those original-and-best harmonies again!!
Simon Hosford extraordinary on guitar
Brilliant!

Simon Hosford. Ridiculously skilled player. Incidentally this gig was from around 2002-2003

SHORROCK.. HAS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VOICES EVER
How can you not say holy shit ? Still the best
Like a good wine, Shorrock gets better with age
The real little river band. What a relief.
I'm back at university with my girlfriend, it's 1976 life is good. An absolutely fantastic version. THX BSG👍👍👍
Now this is the Little River Band that I grew up listening to! Awesome!
Age has done nothing to their voices except make them better
Still making better music than 99 percent of the bands out there. Incredible! I would love to see them in concert. LRB!
Again....
There is only ONE Little River Band regardless of the ridiculous squabble over the name. Love this song, these guys, and the young gtr player killed it..Been in the philippines over 6 years and missing home more than ever , am from south Louisiana ..Smiling with tears in my eyes...
Like Grand Funk Railroad without Mark is also just a tribute band.
The real LRB
Unbelievable; their harmonies were powerful and pitch-perfect! Really good performance from all involved 😀
The real LRB with some more young talent! Great vocals like always!
brilliant, the lead guitarist is f.ng brilliant. the song is f.ng brilliant. breathtaking
Lead guitarist ripped it to shreds
Omygod perfection. These guys are timeless. I cant quit listening

Right! My 23 year old daughter is like Mom LRB is in town. I'm like Smhh that's the fake LRB 😂

Lead guitarist is Simon Hosford
Wasn't just Nelson...wasn't there a guy named Houseman? Unfortunately, the original members kinda let themselves get sold down the river.
A genuine classic, right up there with the best of The Eagles, CSN&Y, etc.
Aussie 🇦🇺💙 rock and harmonies as good as CSNY ⭐️
I'd add America to that list.
Unmistakeable harmonies of the original LRB. Graeme Goble a true master of penning great songs.
Saw them several times back in the day and they never disappointed, always a fantastic show !!!!
Glenn Shorrock still has the
voice!!!!!!
I had to keep listening - what these guys don't know about dynamics and professionalism is not up for discussion !
This is the voice of LRB, best vocalist in the business. Such great memories of my childhood.
100%! So good this group. Awesome musicians.
How tight were these guys? Amazing vocals. LRB was a bands band, unmatched harmonies.
Certainly unmatched by the current pretenders.

Wow! Their vocals never age! GS fantastic as always and how good is the young fella in lead guitar!!!Just Wow!🙏🏼😎❤️
Well he’s no Ric Formosa but he’s pretty bloody good
You can take and keep the name of a band that you were never an original member of …
But you can never take the original members
Birtles,Shorrock,Gobel are the band and nothing and no one can ever change that.
And this video is a testament of that truth
Ahhhh .. sweet justice
Amen to that!
The one and only LRB!
I hope they get the "Name" back. Keep fighting.
I’d sit through this LONG before what Wayne Nelson is passing for LRB these days.
the I wish that glenn, beeb, and graeham would tour the us just for one time. that is the real lrb to me.
Those harmonies give me chills ❤
Best fucking song ever made
Classic harmonies, incredible
You had to be there in the 60's 70's and half of the 80's😄 !what great song and great memories!!
Bloody hell! Just like a fine wine and fond memories.
Brilliant. I remember when this came out and it sounded like a better version of west coast. This is why you guy’s are so special and successful. Housden may have stolen the name but he will never have the recipe, magic or the key ingredients. Formosa’s solo is still a benchmark.
Absolutely Ricky
💯...and Housdens stage antics were cringe worthy back in the day. Not sure how him and Nelson sleep at night.
Wow! Still sounding awesome. Fantastic vocals/harmonies
well this video is 20 years old, not sure how they would sound now 😂
Brilliant live version of this classic song! Simon on lead guitar is outstanding !
Beautiful uniquie blend of vocals the chorus from heaven
Don't worry about us true lovers of LRB S actual, original, amazing vocals and music!!!! Im in Alabama, and have searched and only tonight, found you guys!!!! What's left of my ears are so happyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!! You guys are just magic, now and of course, back then. No one can fool us, nor take away your talent, ever!!!!! THANKYOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
My opinion they are the Eagles of Australia ♥️♥️♥️
I watch this over and over!!! Dear God!!! Your harmonies are outstanding ❤❤❤❤!!!
THE REAL DEAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEA !
72 yrs.and still dig thee old music.LRB you sure killed it.Outstanding.What harmony ❤❤❤
Agreed, my bud!!!
I don't if this was intentional, but this is what I call a good formula. Massively talented and aging musicians in the front; young, beautiful and talented musicians behind them. The best of both worlds!
Wonderful! A Graham Goble masterpiece from their 1975 "Little River Band" album. Gave me chills.
Wow .... those harmonies sound as amazing as they did 47 years ago when I first heard this song. Your guitar player nailed the lead... Bravo bravo ... perfect live performance .. Thank you !!!
Just a pure Classic..... You go on Birtles !!!
Knocked that RIGHT OUT OF THE PARK!!
Absolute class and kudos to the young fella on the lead guitar too👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I can't believe how beautiful their vocal harmonies still are after all these years and that young guitarist is the greatest guitar tone I've heard in a long time
The Eagles reckoned these guys had the best harmonies in the world. Not wrong.
Simon was outstanding !
The perfect sound of the 70s when I was entering my young teens in New Zealand. Still play them today at 59! Timeless class!
RIP Glen Whitley
One of my favourite LRB songs. Just a classic from start to finish 🙌🙌
Better now then 45 years ago. Amazing!
Little River Band forever !!
Briiliant superb concert from the real singersr composers musicians
Its a Long Way There, and I'm glad I made the trip. Killer.
It's like your corporate executives are playing at a Corporate Christmas party, only these are the professionals 😅 Little River Band has been rocking for 50+years and still sounds brilliantly tight and refined. Long live the Australian Juggernaut 🤙🏽♥️
That lead guitar guy is excellent.
They are great in 2024❤
Outstanding performance, Simon Hosford you are a star!
Still as good as ever. Amazing. Seen them twice
So, his name is Simon hosford. Ill remember that
This is the real LRB ,nelson can just fade away , he stole the name but will never live up to it .
It wasn't Nelson, check out a guy called Housden.
This is my favorite LRB song and probably one of my favorite guitar solos of anyone...
The heart, soul and foundation of The Little River Band! Minus Derrick Pellici. Awesome!!
Glen, Beeb and Graham
If this was only done 2 years ago, he looks good.
Still sings the same.
I would not go to the LRB coverband if it was for free. But I would pay a lot of money for these guys. I saw them once in the original lineup and I was singing 2 hours without a break. And the lead guitar player is huge.
