In Conversation: Little River Band's Classic Line-up Part 2

[@kerrybarnes7289]

David Briggs, what a Guitar player

[@bouwebear597]

Thanks guys, that was great! Please please do a part 3 and get back Graham, Beeb, and that other bald guy for a round two chat. So much more to cover.

[@jmparker56]

It was real treat to see David Briggs and George McArdle 1st time in Chrysler Hall Norfolk VA I think in 1978. The band Ambrosia opened for you guys. It was an amazing show. Second time was in Hampton Virginia or was it Williamsburg 1979. It's all running together now but after the show I was able to talk to David in the limo after the show and remember how nice he was to take the time. I remember asking what that box was on top of your amp. You said in a very Aussie accent a Digital Delay. Doubt you will read this, but thanks for taking the time to talk guitar gear that night. One of the best pieces of music I have ever heard Light of Day, still stands today.

Derek your a "BLOODY LEGEND"! great chops and the such an influence to so many drummers !!!! I remember when you had your accident with your hands and Geoff Cox filled in for you and and as good as Geoff is he just did not have your groove !!! Great Video ! Playing LRB music nearly daily here in Western Japan !

[@wayne9979]

Thanks David, brought back some great memory’s....saw LRB at Memorial Drive, Adelaide not long after Elvis had died and they did a tribute with “ Return to sender” so cool!

[@allymayful]

Bloody brilliant!!! Thanks again David for these 2 conversations. I love how this one was the story of the touring. Really interesting. Your LRB story made many Aussies very proud.

[@allymayful]

3 of the lovely gentleman of Australian music. A great conversation.

[@jefffuller9918]

Man I wish I could hang out with David, Derek and George. Talk about laughing.

[@andylundberg5097]

Guys I saw on first time in KC Starlight theater. I loved it so cool you mention it glad You came back and got a better impression next time !

[@modspell]

I’d like to add that the Reminiscing video was my only previous time to watch you all in action, even playing pool. It’s one of my favorite videos of all time.

[@DreamsongsProductions]

Thanks for doing this David. Huge LRB fan here. Loved all the stories and seeing you guys reminisce about the past......

[@nicholaskovacs207]

The three most humble members from the classic little river band line up...all such down to earth guy's😊😊Derek must surely be one of the nicest guys to ever grace the Australian music scene n in his hey day would have everyone in stitches with his sense of humour 😁😁 and on top of this he was a fantastic drummer..his "timing" was second to none LEGEND 😊😊

[@ralphmuller6040]

This is GOLD!!!

[@davidewin6833]

This was amazing. You guys are so talented but just so humble & normal, it was like hanging out with friends. Thanks for sharing & making an old fan beam with pleasure😊

[@glennsuckling5478]

Great share thankyou

[@billba]

Tonight I played Night Owl in the car. My 14 year old daughter surprisingly loved it. She’s normally into crappy hip hop

[@angelokylan1536]

I realize it is pretty randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to watch new movies online?

[@jayceonarthur2365]

@Angelo Kylan try Flixzone. Just google for it =)

[@leonelcayden3934]

@Angelo Kylan I would suggest flixzone. You can find it on google :)

[@SMC01ful]

Phew McArdle, what a bass player, that hook in "Hang on," is just so freaking pumping.

[@jimhuxley9643]

Bondi Lifesaver jan or feb. 1976 LRB were impressive to say the least. From memory at the time Every Day of my Life was climbing up the charts.

[@Coowallsky]

LRB never had a better bassist than George.

[@modspell]

Thank God for this opportunity to finally get to see and hear you all. I worshiped LRB in my youth and never imagined hearing these hilarious stories. I love you all more than I thought possible.

[@davidwynne9012]

Great interview David! 👌

[@mickpenny8766]

Yes great to see the guys keeping in touch i play Little River Band all the time means so much to me thank you, Mick, from Dublin, Ireland

[@Albendova666]

I hear LRB daily on a couple of our local radio stations, especially in the evening for some reason and it’s always a joy to hear those classic songs. When I hear the key intro to Lady the volume goes UP and I’m singing all the way home.

[@PaulLea]

This is another fantastic you tube clip, thanks for part 1 & part 2. The one & only time I saw Little River Band was at the Jan 1979 Nambassa 3 day Music festival in New Zealand. L.R.B. headlined at the festival when 'Reminiscing' was No1 & Split Enz had just released their 'True Colours' & 'I see Red' was riding high. LRB played late Sunday night. We decided to leave the festival at the end of LRB's set only to find someone had stolen the battery out of our Vauxhall Viva, Viva's bonnets could only be opened from the outside. It was about 2.30am, so we pinched someone else's battery from another Viva nearby. Always wondered if the owners of the Viva we raided repeated what we did to another Viva & so on & so on. lol

[@SecretAgentPaul]

On November 20 1976, George Harrison appeared on Saturday Night Live with Paul Simon. On the same night, Little River Band plays The Lyric Capri Theatre, Kansas City. Derek's memory is right.

[@ToddBrittain1963]

Fantastic !

[@SecretAgentPaul]

That was sooo good!

[@Midlifecrisisagain]

Totally agree with George with his remark on Derek. I listened to the BSG DVD many times and every time I think, shit I miss Derek. The guy they hired did a good job but it wasn't THAT feel and sound. Tells you what an important factor the drummer is to a band!!

[@cheezhead6007]

Great to hear these bandmates talk about their early dates they seem as happy and as well as they all sang together. And what I was amazed me being a southpaw myself with half the band(George Beeb and Derek) being Lefty's what a balance!

[@yournamehere7182]

Awesome chat👌

[@neil2550]

Fantastic to hear you guys

[@stevied3006]

Great stuff, guys. Loved it. Keep 'em coming.

[@davehess1019]

at the 14:02 time mark one of the band members is wearing a WYSP sweatshirt, 94.1 WYSP was Philadelphia's Rock radio station, I live 30 miles west of Philly, that was my rock radio station

[@daveolssonmusic]

Saw these guys in Wichita KS early 1979 (I think) and the thing I remember most, even more than David Briggs' guitar playing, was how locked into each other these two guys were. I've seen a lot of other great bands and great rhythm sections but nobody was as tight. It's almost like they were in their own world back there, just propping everything else up. What an education! Of course, the whole band was great but when the bottom end is locked down like that, well...

[@racecar06]

Those photo's are wild 😁

[@neil2550]

Think you should do some shows,really

[@errYuck]

Graeham had an interview recently with "The Real Music Observer" (David Spuria) on You Tube and I don't think he realised Spuria had made about a dozen videos rubbishing the originals and supporting the current phoneys. He quickly removed those videos after the interview

[@jamesgeorge65]

He put out a video stating that he was wrong once he found out the truth of what happened to the original guys.

[@8092DJ]

#1 David Briggs #2 Jimmy Hendricks #3 Edward Van Halen #4 Eric Clapton #5 Stevie Ray Vaughan #6 Carlos Santana #7 Joe Walsh #8 Prince #9 Jimmy Page #10 Tom Sholz

[@jimhuxley9643]

Pellicci never had a chance to really show his wares with LRB. Otherwise the guy was a 'machine'!

[@derek5168]

David Briggs doesn't so much look like cricket commentor Ian chapell like he did back in the 70s we wonder if he was a keen cricketer

[@regaltip8A]

Sick of the haters about the name issue. Bottom line the whingers had a chance to own the name but they declined and missed the opportunity so that doesn't mean the guy that now owns the name gets crucified. Move on the guy legally acquired the name and that comes with certain privileges. One founding member got very handsomely financially for selling his share. He was not forced to do this. Cant have your cake and eat it too.

[@ShorrockBirtlesGoble]

This video doesn’t mention the name issue or the American band which contains no original members at all? Not sure what you mean about ‘whinging’ Villaboy. Ironically, you’re the only one ‘whinging’ about it on this page. Before you leave a comment or review, it’s always a good idea to watch the video so you know what you’re talking about.

[@regaltip8A]

@@ShorrockBirtlesGoble Referring to the quote by David Briggs in your description have a read of it. Having a dig about members that came after the original line-up.

[@Coowallsky]

@@ShorrockBirtlesGoble Villaboy is simply talking out of her ass.

[@modspell]

@@Coowallsky I’m guessing Miss VillaGirl is the lonely down vote here. This Karen needs to find the Whocares manager and tell him all about it.

[@jamesgeorge65]

The original guys never voluntarily sold the name to anyone. It was the manager that made the deal without informing them what was going on legally.
