Thanks for the great reaction. I am so happy that you enjoyed it as much as you did, been wanting you to hear it for a long time. I have always loved the instrumentation and harmonies in this song. The guitar and bass solos are so good. The bridge is a little cheesy but they make up for it with taste. The mix is so nice with the strings and the flute. The bass player was George McArdle he is very versatile. I scratched up my version of the album learning that bass solo. The band I was in never learned the song because we couldn’t pull off the harmonies, oh well 🙄! Anxious to hear more great reactions from you. You are the best.
The bridge is cheese? I hope it's tasty cheese - oh wait, you kinda say it by saying they make up for it with taste, lol (joking) Honestly I personally think the entire song is perfection.
@@windnchgo "cheesy" is meaningless bewtween scott and nick. Neither seem to have a clue.
Damn right! Long Way There is an absolute must - the long version is an absolute masterpiece. Loved it for a very long time.
Please, please, please also do „Its a long way there“ by The little river band. Take the long studio version. It will also blew your mind! You‘ re doing a great job. Love and greetings from germany. Peter
I wholeheartedly second this request. It is a masterpiece of a song. The full version is a must.
+1
+1,000,0000
Yes I agree just do it. Light of Day is also a great song thanks for the request.
That's such a cool, good feel track. You have to play it a few times as there is so much going on and gets better and better as the track goes on.
I love the version of this song they did with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra on their 'Backstage Pass' album.
I'll bet listening to this song on headphones is incredible
Sure is! I just did. 🙂👍
What a great song! Realy goes to show the level of the Little Riverband at that time! Thanks for your review!
Fretless base was a thing back then (I saw recently that Maurice Gibb of the BeeGees played on one in a song)
What a great reaction and a great pick by Scott! I hadn't heard that song in a very long time!
you're right Nick, The Little River Band is another rabbit hole you and Lex need to go deeper into, they are an incredible band from Australia, Night Owl is the next song you and Lex should check out, it's really really good and their song "Lady"
Take this request for The Night Owl.
That was a GREAT selection! That is one of my favorite songs from LITTLE RIVER BAND. There's some much going on in this song but for me the bass solo was the highlight. Now I hope you get to another great LITTLE RIVER BAND song, "It's a Long Way There". I know you enjoy probably as much as this song.
Production awesome for 45 years ago!
Thank you soooooo much for reacting to this song. I NEVER thought I'd see someone react to this. It's such an obscure title from a sort of popular band, but absolutely one of my favorites! Isn't it amazing work? Incredible recording. Again, thank you.
Yes, great request, Scott! I didn’t know this song. Kind of CSN meets Steely Dan! Wonderful reaction, guys!
Thanks Jim it’s a song that gets overlooked, glad you enjoyed it.
GOOD LORD!!! This amazing song has SO MUCH going on! The instrumentation is off the charts!!!
I forget, over time, how fantastic this entire album is! BEAUTIFUL! Gonna have to pull out the vinyl and listen to it on my new turntable!
I agree with you that this one has APP vibes, which is not a bad thing at all!!!
Great reactions! Hope you will continue on with this album, cause there's not a bad song on it!!!
I am so glad you two like The Little River Band, so much of their music to explore
If the texture of silk had a sound, it’s be Light Of Day. A well-mined gem
Gracias por la reaccion a este tema que no conocía de esta excelente banda, les sugiero hacer la reacción a futuro de esta banda del tema Its' a long way there la versión extendida no la editada..saludos desde Argentina
Great reaction and great request, Scott!
Hi Guys, I have not heard anything by this band although I do know the name. I don't remember the track you did a year ago, but this is wonderful music. The harmonies are beautiful and the 2nd guitar solo sounds like Larry Carlton. The entire soundscape is just wonderful. What an incredible track !!! You just don't want it to end. That's what I call - In the Groove ! Thankyou, I'm just going to listen again. Byeee Jim X
Glad you liked it Jim it’s always been in my playlist since it came out.
Thank you for mentioning Larry Carlton! I haven’t thought of him in years and now I’m so excited to go down that rabbit hole, grinning!
@@epluribusunum1460 His solo albums are wonderful .. Checkout "Fingerprints" & "The Gift"
My LRB playlist
Little River Band - It's A Long Way There
Last touchdown gotta be in there somewhere
So I would have to say you are one of them Greatest Hits only kind of fan
One of great pop-rock bands from Australia. Still love them since I was 17-18 years old. Now I'm 61.
Really nice piece! Little River Band has so many great songs! My favorite is "Lady"! But there are so many! :)
Fun fact: The Little River Band is the first artist from Australia to go platinum in the USA. In my opinion this band doesn't get nearly enough credit for that as well as for their artistry.
Always one of my favorite songs!!
I am impressed. Never heard thus one. Knew they were great but come on. Year I graduated HS.
I forgot about this tune (bought the associated album, "Sleeper Catcher," which included the hits "Lady" and "Reminiscing," back in the day)... excellent!
You should also listen to their album Backstage Pass.It's a live double album, the first and second side are with the Melbourne Symphony Ochestra, the second album was recorded live in Washington State.
this is always been one of my favorite songs that are hidden gems on albums. Your next stop should be!!!
It’s a long way there.
This song contains a guitar solo that is worthy of being in the top 20 of all time, and I am not exaggerating on that. You’ll never forget it and you will replay it I promise.
I saw the little river band in 1976 at royals stadium in Kansas City. It was my first concert along with climax, blues band, Black Oak, Arkansas Ario Speedwagon, and the headliner was Ted Nugent, who played so loud he could be heard over 10 miles away and was banned from playing there for several years. I couldn’t hear for three days.
their music gets better, Lonesome Loser, Help is on it's way, Lady, Night Owl, take it easy on me, Cool change, and many many more great songs you two will Love.
Saw them live in 1978 in the UK. They were awesome live. They had a top 10 hit with a track called Happy Aniversary. Check it out. 😊
Great Aussie Band. Grew up with them in Australia
I'd like to personally thank Scott for his excellent videos on storing paints and keeping brushes alive, among other things. If you or any of your fellow musical cognoscenti also do painting, you too will find some helpful tips. Just subscribed. I'll dedicate a painting. Peace and love y'all. More Aussies!
Thank you, I’m going to subscribe to the painting videos
Great great band, they don't have a bad song
you guys helped me fall in love with this song, I think about it during the day and even sing it to myself during the day, I Love it, Thank you, MORE Little River Band, please, check out, Lady and Night Owl, Lonesome Loser, Love you guys, I'm a big fan, keep up the great work, I always look forward to seeing your reactions,
It's a great song.
The later jazzy parts of this music seems most influenced by Bob James circa Bob James IV and by The Crusaders. You two would swoon and tip over if you listen to those two. I guarantee it. You should try Bob James IV, any track. I like 'Where the Wind Blows'. Also, try 'Chain Reaction' by The Crusaders. You'll not regret it.
Scott!! Haven't listened to this album in decades this is so great. thank you and N&L for doing this. (Hmmm... I DO have this album on cassette somewhere.....)
This and It's a Long Way There long version are absolute masterpieces. Long Way There is mind blowing.
Great choice
Check out it’s a long way there
Whole album is great🎶
Be careful - the original band lost the rights to their name
There is another
Group using the name with only one member in it
Sound advice I think there are now no original members. The realLittle River Band is now just a memory. The 3 original singers Shorrock, Britles, and Goble still do reunions in Australia I believe.
Beeb Birtles on lead vocals here.....and LRB's harmonising and musicianship is second to none. This is such a beautiful song.....which develops into a sublime funky cruise.
Just a side note Nick and Lex.....please DO NOT go and see the band currently touring America as the Little River Band.....they are a bunch of second class frauds. None are Australian, none are original members, they are no better than a cover band getting rich off the original members talent and toil. Real Australian LRB fans hate what has happened to this band....the current line up will never tour here because NO ONE would go and see them.....and they know why.
Very sad developments. I rember seeing a current picture and lineup of the band and wondering what the hell happened.
here's a good question, what instrument don't they play or throw at you in this great group, I've been listening to the Little River Band for many years and they blow me away with every song I hear.
My favourite song on my favourite LRB album…….you mentioned reacting to albums, I think twice a month. You can’t go wrong with “Sleeper Catcher”……there’s not a single weak track on that album. React to that one if you get the chance…..you won’t be disappointed.
Saw them live in an all day late into the night concert at an ourdoor arena near my home. The headliner was Heart, and the other bands were Bob Welch, a d Little River Band. Of course they did all their hits. Love Reminiscing. 😊
Nice song.
I hate to be so repetitive, but yes, the original long album version of "It's a Long Way There" has to be your next LRB reaction.
So excited to see you guys have discovered my all time favorite song "Light of Day". The original Little River Band members are so outstanding. Beeb Birtles, Graham Goble and Glen Shorrock on the vocals and David Briggs, Derek P., and George Mc. on lead guitar, drums and bass respectively. As a disc-jockey back in that day I closed out each night's show with this song each late evening! You did wonderful to cover it here. You won't hear this from the current band that tours now and claims the name but none of which are original members. They are basically a cover or tribute band almost at this point and don't carry the magic that the original members had. Nor did they have anything to do with writing those great songs they are performing. Sleeper Catcher was my favorite album of all time as well. Great job on this one you guys!
Great tune by LRB, they had some great songs but some of their album cuts are just as good….some of my favourites are Statue of Liberty, Man in Black, Fall from Paradise…. And Prelude / Hard Life….in this line up Glenn Shorrock is the Lead Singer… but on this song it is Beeb Birtles….
LRB have so many great songs a favourite of mine is Night Owl sung by Wayne Nelson the Bass player in the band when John Farnham had replaced Glenn Shorrock in the early 80's the song was written by Wayne I think?
The Night Owls was a Graeham Goble song.
You have to listen to It's a long way there by them. Also cool change. You should listen to any songs by Pentatonix.
Was listening to this on the boat from Isle of Capri to Naples in 1996. Sunny day, just unreal. I went to another place.
Good Morning, it's 9/1/2024, at 6:40 am, this video just popped up on my RUclips menu, I haven't listened to this song in a while, this video is one of my all-time favorite NicknLex request videos, I went out and bought their CD because of this song, I have been listening to LRB since I was a young kid and I guess this song is considered a deep cut, I don't remember listening to it on the radio when I was a kid, great song, great song reaction, Thank you for all the enjoyment that you Nick and Lex bring to all of us every day, Love you guys.
Must listen to "Long wey there ". First album first track one take. Enjoy ❤
The Most remarkable ,dancable Song Iremember ist " It's a long way there ".It is great track !Dancef to IT in early 80s a lot !
Absolutely great song here. Blew me away! Thought the limit was 6 minutes on these requests though?
Evening Nick and Lex, please listen to It's a Long Way There it is also a longer song with awesome Harmonies and Instrumentation, I would be very surprised if you didn't like it just as much as Light of Day. Thankyou.
Agreed It’s another great song. 😊
You're both so cool , love the proper chick into music
Best LRB song. I think that was rick formosa playing that bass solo at the end. Hes the lead guitarist. Their bass player was solid but mot that level of soloist
George McArdle played the bass solo. Ric Formosa had left LRB when Sleeper Catcher was recorded. David Briggs was lead guitarist on this
Love Little River Band. You might like 10 CC. For me UK version of Steely Dan. Try Old Wild Men, Rubber Bullets or The Wall Street Shuffle. Great show keep it up.
I actually bought this CD because I love this song and wanted to enjoy the rest of the CD, it is incredible, great great music
'Light Of Day (Live In Australia, 1979)' This song with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra is so amazing. Check it out. It's unbelievable. So hard to find on RUclips so pasted heading at top of comment so you can find. From the album Back Stage Pass with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. Quite a nice touch as the main song writers in the band Shorrock, Birtles & Goble all grew up in Adelaide. What a home coming!!!
Lady is my ultimate Little River Band song, LOVE IT
you cats are pretty damn cool , what a gorgeous lady. 🌏
The game the group is playing is called "Two Up", which is a game in Australia.
I saw them in '78. I was 15 and it was my second concert.
this is typical Little River Band, incredible band
I need you're guys to get reaction more of this band's songs. Beleive me, they 're great. Their many albums on 70s are great.
their harmonizing reminds me of how the Eagles harmonize.
I see you like Derek. He is a great drummer.
A heads up, Amazon has 2 LRB sets for sale. Graeham Goble issued. Masterpieces and Ultimate Hits. Both cd's have all their greatest hits plus all the other unheard classics. Mistress Of Mine, We Two. 4 Cds in total. One of my favorites, My Lady and Me.
Way to go Scott.
Suggest you also listen to "Fall from Paradise" by LRB. Jazz, blues and religion in one great song.
The game on the cover is called 2 up. 2 pennies are flipped in the air. You bet on whether both end heads up, tails up, or one of each. "Sleeper catcher" names the person who takes late bets out of the game.
Nick and Lex, I have some great Little River Band requests, you will LOVE them, "Lonesome Loser", "Help is on it's way", you will be blown away, please check them out as soon as you can, I can't wait...
Fretless Fender Jazz bass
you guys are my number 1 youtube channel , LOVE YOU GUYS
How sweet! We appreciate the support and love having you!! 💗 Lex
Please.. please.. please 🙏
You have to listen to LRB's "It's A Long Way There" (Album Version). Lex will love the fact that it is the FIRST song on their very FIRST album!!! It will blow your socks 🧦 off.
So true... I've always loved that song.
This was a really lovely song. I know they are an Australian band who made it pretty big in the US, but I don't think they were particularly successful in the UK. Perhaps fellow UK commenters can correct me if I'm wrong. I certainly haven't heard their music before, but it feels like I've missed out on something good!
@@kbrewski1 They did indeed, although I think that tainted the Aussies' view of the naughty Brits more!
You would love the original long version of “It’s a long way there” from their debut album.
The Little River Band is on tour now 2023 and also going into 2024 , I would love to see them Live also someday
No, they are not! That is not the original group. They do not hold a candle to any of this!
They are a scam. Not one of them original and not one of them aussies. The original band members got cheated out of their own heritage.
You're referring to the tribute band.
Aussie elevator muzak.
The album "First Under the Wire" ,song ' Cool Change' , their best....on second thought, anything from LRB
I think you would really dig “Take It Easy On Me” as well. It’s 🔥🔥🔥
Lots of great tunes from them ... always had a thing for " NIGHT OWL "
Give a listen to Cool Change, Lonesome Loser by Little River Band.
The long version of "it's a long way there" should be next.
Please do "It's a Long Way There" by this same band - Little River Band. You WILL be AMAZED! AND you will thank me and everyone else who requested it. Thanks for your consideration and i wish yall (Texan) the best! - Cole
They did that a month ago.
Not a fan, but did like the outro of this song, especially the bass solo.
Hi Debra, it’s hard not to like the bass solo. I always thought the bridge on this song is a little cheesy. Hope you had a good summer.
Read the album jacket. It will explain the game played "Sleepcatcher".
The game is called Two-Up. The Sleeper Catcher is a person.
A song I would Love for you to check out is "Moonlight feels right" by Starbuck, from the 70's also, I think you will love the song.
I've never heard this song before. It's very pleasant, and I enjoyed it on a surface level, but I didn't find it particularly challenging or original. A bit too easy listening for my taste ...and, even tho I love Yes, Rush and Zeppelin, I'm also a guy who loves Bread, America and Carpenters.
I love that you two love the song, but I don't think it's even on the same level as a mediocre Steely Dan song. It is pleasant, tho.
The Album !
Another great track from LRB besides It's a long way there track.
Have you done Little River Band, " It's a long way there"? PLEASE!
check out Little River Band tour 2023, they are coming close to you very soon.
Checkout Lonesome Loser by Little River Band. 👍
Long way there is a must listen released 1975
They've done that already
For some weird reason, this makes me think of Thick as a Brick. Crazy. Perhaps a brain glitch?😮
Try it's a long way there, the long version.
This is nice…I thought I knew all the LRD songs. There are much better ones than this though….they had a lot of big hits in Australia….I don’t recall this at all, so assume it was not big….though nice….but some of their songs are ‘spectacular’…..
The Lyrics are telling us to 'Believe in Jesus' (The Light of Day).
They see people walking around blind because they don't see the reality of Jesus.
They take no heed of what they can learn - instead, they are just running in circles without purpose.
They head for a door that reads 'Escape', trying to find anything they can take to fill the void of emptiness.
Lonesome nights and wasted days leads men from the 'True Ways' that God created them for.
Yet he insists "He's nobodies fool" when that's exactly what he is - a fool.
To 'Dig the Dance' is to walk in newness of the Holy Spirit. To 'Take a Chance' on that which we can't see with the natural eye and into the 'Spirit Realm'
Hear the chorus as if Jesus is actually calling out to YOU! "Hey Boy! or 'Hey Girl! - Come out and join in the Dance with Me."
Finally - I think the 'Sandman of Time' is a personification of death. We need to consider that this life is not forever and a day will come when we will stand before the Living God to be judged. Will you be found in the Grace of Jesus? This can only be accessed by Faith.
Salvation and Eternal Life is found no other way except by His Grace.
