I just love Johns version of this song. He always puts everything into a performance. Hence the copious amounts of sweat.😅
Love this man to death, incredible tone and power. Thanx for the reaction
Love that Phil. One of the reactors said...you Aussies love hard!
Thanks for the shout out brother, love and appreciate your reactions. John was so young here, this was such a good band too to be part of. His vocals are just crazy
Not a problem, at all!
John Farnham is The Voice.
Yes!! Thanks George and Roskoe, perfect pick me up - I SO needed this today!! Love young John (or Johnny as he was called at this stage!)
Are you ok Kappy ? Just for you - flowers 💐 💐💐
@@bernadettelanders7306 thank you Bernadette!! I’ve pulled/stretched ligaments in my arm/shoulder and partially torn the tendon and damaged the rotator cuff 🤦♀️
@@Dr_KAP WoW, that sounds terribly painful. You’ll have to stop playing footy lol. Seriously I hope the pain eases slowly but surely. Take it easy kiddo 💞
@@bernadettelanders7306 the pain is ridiculous it’s so bad. Having cortisone injection tomorrow and surgical review if it doesn’t improve 😬
@@Dr_KAP OH, that bad, must be absolute agony. I hope whatever they decide, it’ll take that pain away. I can’t even comprehend pain that bad. Thinking of you and hope you are feeling much better asap 😢
So young and so talented. He just got better and better over time. He definetly one of my favorite singers of all time. Uniqe is the word.
Little River Band was one first bands from Australia to have string of hits constantly in USA late 70s early 80s .. Sadly the band had a lot infighting between members that lead to revolving door of members .
This song was originally sang and written by LRB’s original first lead singer Glenn Shorrock.
LRB had 3 primary songwriters by the early 80s they fighting on who got most song recorded. So original member Graham Goble who wrote most of songs and produced for John Farnham 1980 album Uncovered was totally showcase for Graham Globe’s songs Uncovered featured Please Don’t Ask Me .
Graham Goble was writing song to high for Glenn Shorrock to sing after writing for John Farnham. LRB and John Farnham was under the same management with Glenn Wheatley . So after Glenn Shorrock left in 1982 after infighting about he wanted the band take a break from touring and recording for a year , but he was out voted the others wanted to continue . So John Farnham was hired . John Farnham career in late 70’s was little more reduced occasional television appearances and playing to suburban clubs . In 1980 with LRB influence solo album and his reworking of Help the Beatles cover John Farnham was starting to get a more mature style and serious in his career . Unfortunately at that time LRB with John Farnham didn’t gel well with diehard LRB fans that was in shock that Shorrock was gone . That feeling also was felt with recording company Capital Records in USA . John Farnham had few LRB hits Down On Border in Australia was the bands 3rd biggest selling single peaking 7 on Australian charts .
The Other Guy , We Two , You’re Driving Me Out Of My Mind was all billboard hits in USA . In 1984 with 2 other original members leaving the over the musical direction into more new wave rock away from the Harmony rock that made LRB famous. John Farnham was also contributing his own songs like Playing To Win and Blind Eyes hopefully he make some income with royalties because the songwriters was only members past and present getting paid . LRB was heavily in debt from expensive American tours . After John Farnham recorded No Reins 1986 LRB’s most underrated album , their recording contract with Capital Records was over John Farnham was straight away working on an new solo album which was Whispering Jack . After a small tour in early 1986 John Farnham left LRB . By 1987 John Farnham solo successful again back on the top of Australian charts. LRB was in limbo for awhile until Glenn Shorrock returned with a new recording deal MCA in 1988 sadly USA listeners had moved on . revolving members continued unfortunately there’s now no original members and no Australian member in current LRB line up the band is based in Nashville not Melbourne like it originally was . The current version of LRB aren’t received well in Australia they regarded as a cover
tribute band .
Wow what a beautiful voice and song and words. Seems like things happen in our lives and we often don't take that time getting in touch with nature or with ourselves and just enjoying the moment being free from whatever is boxing us in. It's got me picturing mysef sailing on the ocean right now 🙂⛵🚤🌊🌊🌊.
Sounds like a good place to be transported to!
@@youmaderoskoe Amen to that! 🙂💕
One of my favorite songs by Little River Band!
Glad you've decided to rejoin us! I hope you won't decide to unsubscribe, again! I want you here but only if you want to be here!
@@youmaderoskoe I’ll stay.
@@tiffanytosh1569 Good job 👍😎
This song really belongs to Glenn Shorrock but I'd rather listen to John any day.
🗣 Onya Georgie ! Another LRB classic hit 👌 mint
Just for your info, here is John introducing his band members so you can see who they are, in particular Jack Jones aka Irwin Thomas from Southern Sons. ruclips.net/video/zAI4cz_neGk/видео.html
HAHA yes he did need a cool change. Whoever was choosing his wardrobe back then obviously forgot to take into consideration how much he perspired while performing. SILK definately not the best option.
LRB was a little ho hum for me before John joined them. He added a spark of life to the band. Others will disagree but to me his voice added just a little something extra with those higher notes, rasp, breaks and vocal runs.
No Southern sons in this band. Wayne Nelson is your guy with the cool side hair. And David Hershfelder on keys, both followed John from LRB and became members of The Farnham Band for a while before moving on.
Love you to listen to the original singer Glenn Sherrock singing the same song with LRB and see who you prefer. My pick is John but alot of people prefer Glenn.🎼👍
I can do that 👍
I prefer the original. The harmonies just sound better with him and his other band members.
This still sounds good because John Farnham is such a good singer but certainly prefer the original for this particular song. Chemistry just had more.
Why did Glenn Sherrock leave Little River Band?
@@shaundgb7367 he was asked to leave, by the rest of the band. He was getting annoyed because his songs weren't being chosen to go on the album's and was becoming difficult to work with.
Hi Roskoe I was on my way to start my work day when I saw your post for John...lol (yes easily distracted lol) There is another great performance that John did on this same show.. 'Reminiscing' Now he really shows off in this with some amazing runs etc. ruclips.net/video/NspIOkh9EVc/видео.html As always you keep us entertained my friend Ps that guy with the very high forehead lol is American and he left LRB and joined John's band as he was so impressed with John. Ok I'm off to work 👋
Lol..high forehead! That's hilarious! I'll definitely check out that song, Justlinsu ♥️♥️♥️
He already reacted to Reminiscing 😉
@@Dr_KAP Oh ok...I did check but must have missed it ....need to go to 'Speck Savers' lol
@@youmaderoskoe 😋
I heard you say some Southern Sons members were in this. I don't think any Southern Sons members would be in this. I assume this is early 80's. Southern Sons was some band in middle 90's, I think so those people would be too young for Little River Band. I've seen Jack Jones in John Farham's band in some footage from later 90's maybe. I think he was lead singer of Southern Sons. He actually is playing in a re-formed Noiseworks, which could not re-form with their original guitarist as he passed away so somehow he is part of the new set-up. All the other members of Noiseworks. For some reason he has a different name to Jack Jones. Do not know his name but saw the new song and video from Noiseworks in recent weeks and cracker of a song. Little River Band is before my time. Never heard this version before. Must admit prefer the original lead singer with it as sounds classic from sometime in mid 70's.
If you like some good rock music Noiseworks worth checking out in your own time. They were an excellent Aussie rock band from late 80's to early 90's. I think I saw then live maybe six times.
His name is Irwin Thomas. Jack Jones was his stage name for awhile. Stuart Fraser is the Noiseworks guitarist that passed. Stuart also did a stint playing for John Farnham (you can hear him playing with Brett Garsed on John's cover of Black Dog) Jack started Southern Sons with Phil Buckle, another guitarist that had played with Farnham. Wayne Nelson who plays bass here for the LRB followed John to his solo career.
His band has been stacked with talent since the beginning. Why wouldn't you want to play your best wt for him.
I much prefer the original version with Glenn Shorrock singing, it is his song as he wrote it. To me the harmonies are so much better in the original.
I'll make sure I check it out 👍
