Good to see the original LRB with Glenn Shorrock requested. As much as I love John Farnham, have always preferred Glenn in this band. Great song too.
Australians at the time only have to hear those harmonies of Goble Shorrock and Birtles and know it's going to be something worth listening to. Throw in David Briggs and it get's even better.
But what did he say? 'that's John right, that's got to be John.' So much for those ears.
John did some of their songs better but only some
Me too, John was in the band only for a short period of time anyway. Glenn is the heart of the vocals at the LRB, which is one of the greatest band of all time.
Why does John sound like Glenn 🤣👍
Yes, it's Little River Band, but with their original singer Glenn Shorrock. IMO, this track, written by Graeham Goble, is a masterpiece 🙌🙌 If you want a live version, try the band's appearance on the Aussie TV music show GTK from 1975. The camera work is awful, but the performance is absolutely incredible ☺️
Agree, one of their best songs. Nick is confused though as it's audio and can't see John's not singing.
@@meni8015 I think Nick forgot that John wasn't the original singer.
@@FionaEm I think you're right. Nick might read the comments later on and realise. I don't think he is familiar with Glenn.
I fell in love with this song hearing it on a transistor radio sounds insane on a 1970's sterio
Glen Shorrock has a great voice he sang at a corp gig post leaving LRB & blew us away! So many sensational unsung Aussie artist heroes… love that they are being recognised now by Nick and the world! John Farnham is a sensation in his own right… any band, any time, any song!
Yep it's Glenn Shorrock,the original singer.
Your dad will be listening & loving it for sure 👍🌹
LRB were killer
And their harmonies were just as good live if you can believe that
This is the original line up no John Farnham in this version the vocalist is Glenn Shorrock the original singer excellent song
Glen Shorrick come on guys when you request give him the details please
Well said.
Absolutely!❤🇦🇺
I think your drifting off to your Dad was him saying I'm here enjoying this with you. God bless you and your Dad.
Beautiful! LRB is always a winner. I love that you listened to the original singer.
Little River Band were brilliant muso's and this is Glenn Shorrock singing.
John join LRB in 1982 this is the original lead singer Glen Shorrock this came out in 1975 I think. They are still one of Australia’s great bands do not get them confused with the fake ones that are touring with the LRB name in the US now..
I just wanna thank you, Nick, for taking an interest in our Aussie music/ musicians, etc....,🙏🌺
One thing I think of when I think little river band is the harmonies
Not many do it better than LRB.
This is a long time before Farnsey joined the band.
Yes it's Little River Band with Glenn Shorrock as the lead singer. When he left to go on his own They renamed themselves "LRB" and John Farnham took over.
Aren't they great ! I stage crewed for them in Vegas on their first American tour. Always liked their music. Check out Ambrosia too..lots of good stuff from them too :)
Little River Band fans correct me if I'm wrong but the lead singer in this was Glenn Shorrock
Written by Graeham Goble in 1972, the song was inspired by his regular trips from Melbourne to visit his family in Adelaide. The song was initially performed by Goble's earlier band Mississippi, which included three subsequent members of Little River band: Goble, Beeb Birtles and Derek Pellicci. Ric Formosa played lead guitar, Glenn Shorrock sang lead vocals, with Goble and Birtles providing harmonies.
This song is a masterpiece. Great reaction.
Absolutely!!! Love LRB!
Their best, IMO
It’s Glenn Glenn Shorrock!!! He was “the voice” of The Little River Band, 100% Yes, John could sang but Glenn Shorrock is the man the myth, the legend of the Little River Band, FAX!!!
That's the incomparable Ric Formosa on lead guitar, the hugely talented Roger McLachlan provides the incredibly funky baseline you love. And Glenn Shorrock, the original frontman for the band
The version from the "Full Circle" DVD by Birtles, Shorrock, Goble who basically ARE the Little River Band --ROCKS as well.
Masterpiece! Hands down my favourite LRB song ever. Glad you enjoyed it. I will never get tired of this song 🥰
Same, I love all their song's but this my favorite, along with Curiosity Killed The Cat
This is more than just a song it's an experience. This is track one on their first album, such a underrated band so much more than just soft rock.
My favourite LRB song, I saw Glenn Shorrock live last year and he still has it. Wonderful performer.
Forgot how good Little River Band are. We were spoiled beyond our understanding in Australia in the 70’s and 80’s with music the rest of the world are just catching up with since RUclips . Glen Shorrock was fantastic, John Farnham had similarities was great as an individual performer, but I preferred Glen in the group. Farnham did a great job standing in for a couple years, probably the only one on scene at the time that could have! There are none today🤐
A very underrated song and displays the musical ability of the whole band. Glen Shorrock is the lead singer.
John Farnham was only really a fill in. Glen Shorrock was their main singer. And you've got Beeb Birtles and Graham Gobles in the background hitting those high notes.
This is a great soft rock band from Australia. They had a lot of great hits especially in the 70's-80's such as "Cool Change", "Help Is On Its Way", "Happy Anniversary", "Reminiscing", "Lady", "Lonesome Loser", "Take It Easy On Me" etc.
That starting harmony gave me a cold shiver. Such a beautiful song.
Little River Band LRB formed in 1975 this song is LRB’s debut single . LRB formed out of members from other Australian bands so they are regarded as Australian supergroup .
They was also managed by Glenn Wheatley who was John Farnham’s longtime manager from 1980 until Glenn Wheatley passing last year .
LRB had many members coming and going 38 members in total .
The classic line up only lasted 3 of their albums from 1977 to 1979 .
John Farnham was lead singer from 1982 until 1986
Original singer Glenn Shorrock 1975 to 1982 then again 1988 to 1995
Glenn Shorrock recorded 8 albums with LRB
When John Farnham recorded 3 .
LRB has sold over 25 million records worldwide.
LRB biggest hits in USA
Reminiscing 1978
Lady 1978
Cool Change 1979
Lonesome Loser 1979
The Night Owls 1981
The Other Guy John Farnham vocals 1983
* In Australia biggest hits
Curiosity Killed The Cat 1976
Help Is On Its Way 1977
Down On The Border - John Farnham vocals 1982
Love Is A Bridge 1988 .
John Farnham’s signature LRB song Playing To Win unfortunately wasn’t a hit at the time of release in 1984 but has gained popularity as a sporting anthem over the decades , it’s also the only LRB song John Farnham continue to sing in his successful solo career after he left LRB .
The current lineup is American based and no original members and no Australians within the band . Original members can’t reform as The Little River Band or even LRB under legal circumstances the last member left holds the naming rights .
Thanks for all the info Mark
Curiosity killed the cat.... I completely forgot about that funky track. Take it easy on me is another wonderful song.
Sorry mate their debut song was Curiosity (Killed the Cat), then “Emma” then third “It’s a Long Way There”
@@petergalea6032 hey, you both might be right depending on where you are. Don't forget music companies release different songs in different order around the world.
@@petergalea6032 you are right it was their American debut single . Australian and American releases get confusing
Yeah nah, this was pre JF. We often talk about sibling/family bands harmonising perfectly, but LRB were superb with harmonising and not being siblings, just so beautiful ❤️.
Yeah, seriously if I were to choose a 'first listen' to LRB (with Glenn Shorrock as lead), this is the one.
I remember a YT post from a US truck driver who stated that he was listening to a radio station while night driving on a long haul.
The radio presenter was introducing an album from a new band called Little River Band and the radio station was doing a promotion (giving away a few albums). After listening to 'It's a Long Way There', the Truck Driver took a detour and drove over 200 miles (to that radio station), to pick up one of the free albums. He loved to song and the album. A perfect Drivers song!
Nick know how it feels, miss my Dad as well and this masterpiece will always bring out your emotions. TC
This is LRB at their beginning. John was solo artist still
Glenn Shorrock will always be LRB for me! I've seen Glenn solo on 2 separate occasions and he was great!
LRB, so good and tasteful especially in the beginnings with Glenn Shorrock as frontman, great singer he is. My favorite track is 'Home on a Monday', very nostalgic. Very fine reaction. That is what music can do. Take care.
.... think you'll find that's the original band with Glenn Shorrock..... John came later
You can see why Glen Frey (The Eagles) said LRB were the greatest rock -vocal band in the world. Some songs LRB started in accapella. André in Sydney
LRB was a great band, harmonies up in the Bee Gees category. Loved this song since it first came out, way back when I was in high school (way before John Farnham joined replacing the original singer Glenn Shorrock ( this is Glenn).
Great song written by GG, but Ric Formosa’s guitar work cannot be overstated here. Awesome!
I’ve seen Little River Band live they were amazing, and the harmonies were amazing.
An amazing song. It never gets old.
Omg we are so happy to have your chanel around, as you know what your talking about Dominic. You are like a breath of fresh air, as you say it like it is that's why us Aussies love your chanel so much, not to mention our artists that seem to get the feedback from your chanel and your followers. Oh one more thing every time I go snooping around the other channels the other RUclipsrs are saying the same thigs about Aussie singer's that you said a long long time ago. It just goes to show us all you know what your talking about Dominic. Love from Australia. 🇦🇺
Another rabbit hole. Glenn Shorrock is part of the group of 60s influential Aussie musicians. Time to look at Vanderbilt and Young and the Easybeats.
Loved watching your reaction on this classic Little River Band number! Sorry I didn’t see this sooner. If you liked doing this try covering “Light of Day” from the Sleeper Catcher album. It’s an 8 minute gem that I believe you will enjoy. So much going on with that smooth classic LRB song from vocal harmonies, instrumental licks goin on from instrument to instrument and percussion everywhere. Probably my favorite song of all times! So if you haven’t already covered it I would totally recommend you do so! Thanks for sharing great music!
I should also mention Beeb Birtles sang the lead on “Light of Day” and I believe wrote the song. It has a jazzy soft rock vibe to it.
Little River Band were definitely made more for the American market, hence they actually had quite a few hits in America. The lead singer was originally Glenn Shorrock. John Farnham joined after he left, but Americans didn't take to his style at the time...
I got such joy from watching your reactions💞. One of our greatest bands from the 80’s!
Immediately CSNY (Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young) came to mind, especially in the intro vocals! Beautiful song with exceptional musicians!
I’m sure your Dad just heard it with you then❤ I’m glad you have now fallen down the rabbit hole of the original LRB John Farnham sang a different type of music than the original LRB you have so many more songs to listen to enjoy but make Cool Change your next reaction
I saw them play this live in a small music hall in Kansas City like back in 1978? It was awesome.
Ric Formosa on lead guitar wow ! what a tasty player ! As this young dude says "One of the best songs you've ever heard "
My favorite LRB song from my second favorite Australian band. Such a underrated song and band. Mom introduced me way back when
It is little river band with the original lead singer Glenn shorrock
John Farnham joined later
sensational band - Glen Shorrock on vocals here... but just brilliant band
Just so good!
Im with you 😂, heard them Live in 75, at Carolina Colecium😂 been hooked for 50yrs!!!!
Little River Band were huge in America in the 70's,only 8 months after forming the band..Glenn Shorrock was the lead singer and when he left in the 80's, John Farnham was asked to join the band as lead singer..Both Glenn and John were totally different singer but brilliant in their own right.
This was recorded live in the studio in one take and Ric Formosa the lead guitar was as sick as you can get with the flu,he also arranged all the strings.
yea , grew up om it too , Fantastic
Early Crosby, Stills, and Nash. I think the early CSN was Little River Band and The Birds… if this old memory serves…. one of my favs. Epoch! This song in particular. I recently rediscovered it too. Thanks, I’m sure your dad knew it too!
yeah you know what this is probably their best song, but I love 'Lady' you need to do that one too also 'cool change'
Great reactions.
I get like that when I think of my wonderful Dad also. I can feel your pain just below the surface so with you there! The track was one of my all-time favourites as a young adult and, musically, it truly has it all.
I'm late to the party here bur one of my favorite songs from the day it came out and as a guitarist there is some serious riffing going on in here.
Ricky formosa on lead guitar is spot on. Real talent
Great reaction as always!!! So glad you noticed the rythym guitarist. I'll have to say it's some of the most beautiful phrasing I've heard in a song. Thanks again for the reaction
Check out Happy Anniversary next
Wayne Nelson (Bass player) also has a really high register and left LRB when John did to join Farnsey's band.... He is currently LRBs lead vocalist .....LRB are remarkable musicians... all can sing really really well and they wrote some fantastic tracks... Beeb Birtles (guitarist) would be the one on this track with the highest range...
@@sg-yq8pm That's strange as Wayne appears on the Live Exposure VHS from 1981 where they sing IALWT ... and Glenn is still with the band at that stage singing lead vocals...I stand corrected if whoever produced the video was incorrect...
Jo Sedunary, Graeham had the highest register in LRB singing the top harmony.
@@brissiegeoff Thank you ! They're all so talented..
Happy but also sad reflections there mate, take care and stay natural :) Melbourne
its the original singer of LRB - Glenn Shorrock was the original lead singer and JF came in after when Glenn left the band
That's me! Yay. Thought you might like to hear the original Little River Band Singer. Pugh is my maiden name though it's pronounced pew, lol.
No disrespect to John Farnham...love John Farnham....but, it has to be the original LRB with the great Glenn Shorrock, as it is here.
Smooth as...
Lady and Cool Change also classic LRB.
Grew up with LRB thanks to Dad. So glad you like them too.
Little River is a small place just west of Melbourne , scenes from the first Aust road warrior/Mad Max movie filmed there . G’day from Oz ,
ThatSingerReactions + 12 interruptions = Groove Killer.
Excellent musicians, harmonies & brilliant song.
So much to this.
Personal favourite is Reminiscing
The days when we want to share something with someone & they aren't there for you to see their pleasure are sad.
i felt your pain
Hi, if you reacting to this remastered LRB, the original lead singer is still Glenn Shorrock, not John Farnham yet, because at this time Glenn Shorrock is still with band, before JF join the band.. So this was the original band member.
Its a masterpiece brother. Takes me back to about 1970
Love LRB. Please head over to the channel of "Shorrock Birtles Globe LITTLE RIVER BAND Founders" for lots of gems. A few teasers....this is Glenn Shorrock singing in his previous band Axiom with Brian Cadd, singing "A Little Ray Of Sunshine". Love this tune. Such a classic.

And this is a link to LRB's original line up as the band called Mississippi, even before Glenn joined the band.

And on another note, hold those moments when you feel your dearly departed close. I am a believer in remembering them to keep them in our hearts until we meet again. 🌸 Stay strong Nick. Thinking of you.
My favourite song .
❤❤ there is a Live version of this song on their Backstage Pass album, and it’s on RUclips
I really enjoy your reactions to Little River Band, please take a look at some songs from Australian 70's band Axiom which has Glenn Shorrock as lead singer before joining LRB. Amazing tracks like "A Little Ray of Sunshine", "My Baby's Gone" and "Arkansas Grass". You will really enjoy these melodies and complete songs.
Your hearing is so acute that you’re puzzling because Jon doesn’t sound right because it’s not John, it’s Glenn Shorrock. To me, Little River Band is Glenn and not John. As much as I love John Farnham, when Glenn left the band and he took on lead vocals, LRB lost their sound.
By any standard, Little River Band were just sublime.
Good description. Without his sojourn with LRB Farnsy might have been lost to us but for me LRB is lead by Glenn Shorrock.
@@tonyquinn8405 yes, spot on. This was when little Johnny Farnham was presented to us as adult John Farnham. It did wonders for his career but not so much for Little River Band.
Live version - check it out Birtles, Shorrock and Gobels live (the original voices of LRB).
You'll love it totally bro
The instrumental parts have always given me a peter Frampton vibe
Cool change reaction little river and chl it out
One of my favourites of LRB is love is the bridge. Then again, I remember the other band with Glenn. The twilights. Another great band with Glenn and Axiom with one of the best music writer's and performers , Brian Cadd. Sooo great. Today, they all sing through their nose or the back of their throats and just copy artists.
Yeah, Glen Shorrock was the singer for about a decade before Farnham. Have a look at "curiosity Killed the Cat" Video to see a real 70s band. You may get a kick out of it.
They are touring this year. Idk where you live but you may have a chance to see them live! They are a good band. This is one of my all time favorites and I swear they have a studio version that is far better and over 10 mins if I'm not mistaken.
Get it together Man please 😂
It’s not John it’s Glenn shorrock.
John only sang with Little River Band at the end. After LRB, he put together the band that made him more popular than ever.
You should listen to Axiom, Little ray of sunshine, then you will see Glenn Shorrock and Brian Cadd
one of the greatest bands from the 70's awesome song.
❤️ 🇦🇺 absolutely brilliant live..Saw them when I was 14yo long long time ago
And they could do it note perfect live. Glen Shorrock on lead vocals.
Glenn’s vocals are amazing, as are the harmonies and the band as a whole . Glenn was awesome when I first heard Little Ray Of Sunshine with Axiom
If you love these harmonies (🤗), check out "Human Nature"!! 👍😁 That's Glen Shorrock (he was also was in "Axiom"), he has a strong Aussie accent + Beeb Birtles!? 😉 I remember seeing a video of them in the USA travelling in a bus, maybe the song written over there! 🤔
Ric Formosa on lead guitar !!!
One of my favourite songs , I'm 60yo... I've heard a lot of songs < professional musician.
I loved watching you doubt yourself about the voice. You had the right instincts but went with head knowledge. I always thought John was hired because he and Glenn have a similar sound.
Not even close
Yeah but you need to understand I was only 10 years of age when John sang with LRB (I was already a fan of LRB) my young ears weren’t very experienced 😄
