Little River Band (BSG) ~ Take It Easy On Me

Take It Easy On Me by Birtles, Shorrock and Goble ~ the original Little River Band

[@oreoyeliab]

The REAL Little River Band!!

[@charlesbruno3111]

THEY SOUND AS GOOD AS THEY DID WHEN THEY FIRST MADE THE SONG... THESE GUYS ARE THE HARMONY OF HARMONY

[@teresarose2824]

One of the most underrated bands in history! These guys are one of the very best!

[@Will-u-aint]

Underrated by who? What an ignorant and uninformed statement. Utterly disrespectful.

[@TheGeonam]

Here they are with time added to their lives grey and balding, but they sound just as good as they did back in 1980's.

[@20carrocks]

Beeb can still sing the bridge like no other.

[@cheerband1]

Not like Wayne though🤷‍♀️😉

[@robstuder4447]

40 years after it's release and these three sound as if it was just yesterday. Love the song and the memories that come with it. Bravo BSG! And always loved that drum kick at the end...

[@RaffaPed]

They haven't lost it. They still sound great. Amazingly good music from one of the best bands ever.

[@lisalu910]

If anything they sound better! The harmonies are more well-developed here than in the studio version. Love it!

[@paulinechapman5669]

Look at these beautiful guys..just hanging and looking and sounding so good for all their years on the planet..life seems better when l know they’re always there for me..🇨🇦

[@Oldcrow77]

Yeah, to bad they sold the name and the band touring as LITTLE RIVER BAND is just a tribute band. Very sad.

[@GSL1960]

What year is this? They sound Amazing

[@joeconcrete5067]

One of the best songs ever.....

[@keithallen2357]

2022 here. Im 50 years old and still listen to this all the time. Best times ever. There awesome. Older you get the better they get

[@mstammy2u800]

Still here in 2021! They don’t make them like this anymore! Truly real music! I’m so grateful to grow up listening to these guys.

[@Nipstersongs1]

Real music, for sure. I love their songs. Thanks so much for watching, listening and commenting :)) Jim

[@curtissmith5875]

Me too, I dated with them in the background, and drank beer on the country roads, doesn’t get any better.

[@woodywoods5373]

One of the best bands around.

[@franceshorsley8688]

Still got harmony great!

[@vinniemoran7362]

So freaking gifted, this band. They've given us so much joy over the years. Just the best!

[@Dan.d649]

Feast your eyes, and listen closely to an absolutely legendary band: The Little River Band. This would be the type of song that puts a big smile on all faces, and it just doesn't get old like the others. The amazing example of this beautiful song, sounds exactly like the originally recorded one on their studio record, released in 1981. These guys have aged, but haven't lost a thing. They still got it together as though they released all their music just yesterday. I find that very incredible. God bless them all!! Most bands age, and usually don't sound the same after many years time. This is a wonderful get together of these incredible musicians, playing this, that is my very favorite song of theirs. The Night Owls is great too.🎵🎶🎼

Dan Donato….? in Nashville?

[@Dan.d649]

@@keylearning5746 What do you mean?

[@Oldcrow77]

No longe little river band. Now BSG Sold the right to the LRB name. Now the band that tours under that name is a tribute band. One member was on a few songs in the 80’s. Basically scamming the fans. You see in the heading it even has BSG in parentheses

[@kevinkeane303]

Aussie answer to the eagles brilliant harmonies.

[@johnhoward5389]

None of the original band.... ALL AMERICANS. the songs are still great though...

[@timsanderson5572]

@@johnhoward5389 If you are talking about the official touring band using the LRB name, then yes you are right...all Americans now. But right here is half of the original LRB, namely the 3 main singers, as well as a backing band of mostly Aussies. Much better.

[@stanleyblazeraznik6047]

My favorite LRB song. I was 16 years old when it came out. Time flys.

[@brendacoffey3059]

You aren't kidding time flies! I'm 64 and have loved them since a young teen as well! 😄

[@martyslaught51]

Glenn Frey of the Eagles loved Little River Band and their harmony. Glenn played with them a few times, but he never took center stage.

[@hotniaoniao]

Glen sounds fantastic!

[@broadcasttttable]

Added bonus, different from the studio version, Glen's falsetto at the end.

[@janinemartin9045]

3 beautiful Aussie singers. Sound the same as they did 40+ years ago. The one and only LRB!

[@Oldcrow77]

No exactly. They sold the name for whatever reason They can’t use it. Go by BSG The Little river band is just a tribute band now.

[@Oldcrow77]

@@janinemartin9045 Yeah, I misspoke. But it’s pretty sad when you don’t protect your name and are outmaneuvered by a Johnny come lately to the band. I agree it’s now a scam band charging 200.00 dollars plus for tickets and many of the fans have no clue they aren’t seeing a single “real” contributing member on stage

[@janinemartin9045]

@@Oldcrow77 Absolutely but they will always be LRB to us. Saw SHORROCK and CADD love at Crown on the 7th July omg they were both awesome.

[@janinemartin9045]

@@Oldcrow77 No they never sold the name. They lost the name and went to court to get it back!

[@janinemartin9045]

@@Oldcrow77 that's the sad part people think they are buying tickets to the original LRB. Yes the name should've been protected big mistake. The American ones need to write their own music.

[@ianbauer4703]

Fantastic voice.

[@mrboat580]

This is the lineup of the group I tend to listen for over all the other iterations that came after.

[@Oldcrow77]

Beware. If you by LRB tickets. You won’t see them. Sold the name for whatever reason They have to go by BSG. LRB is just a tribute band now.

[@renzo4296]

Absolutely amazing, I grew up listening to the little River band with my parents as a little boy, I absolutely love their music and they will go down in history as one of the greatest band's of all time.

[@txguy714]

I love how he tells the story as he sings. It touches the soul.

[@myway148]

Take a listen to Bob Seger and Jim Croce and maybe even Ronnie Milsap and Marshall Tucker.

[@HafizH]

Those harmonies wow

[@keylearning5746]

At the top of their game.

[@charlenefleeman8305]

Awesome! We love you guys! Come back to America!

[@RM-mm9sr]

The music of my teenage!! Love it so. Is nice to hear the original members singing the song like the original version. I mean, the same voices.

[@terrysmith8758]

Glad to see him upfront

[@shanebush2751]

Put a huge smile on my face! They still got it.

[@royrump7532]

now 55 Yeas - a fan since 1978.. Real music - stil goosebumbs... g'day from Holland Europe....

[@banditdarval9401]

Beeb is cool & hilarious. Watch some of their 80's footage. He was constantly high on blow.

[@bowenj33us]

Once beautiful, always beautiful. The chord progressions, everything about this song makes me feel the Bittersweet flavor of life. Thank you, LRB!!!

[@stephendringus8183]

Damn they sound great...takes me back

[@angelagreen4803]

Sounds just like 40 years ago....right up to Wayne's part. Beeb is a fantastic singer. But my 14 year old mind says Wayne needs to sing that part. Glad he pushed for that song all those years ago. Nice high note at the end Glenn😉 like Wayne and John Farnham did in Germany in the mid 80's. I remember the video and your ending was much more subdued. With that said....Carry on😊

[@kausikghosh9968]

Glen Sher is an Australian Idol & the best vocalist of LRB with all Due Respect to My Hero John Farnham. Loved this band since 1978 when I was 6 yrs & heard their song in My School fest.

[@fumeokid]

They still sound fantastic!

[@lisalu910]

If anything, they actually sound BETTER. The harmonies are even more well developed and the vocals are outstanding.

[@juckimal]

Wow. Amazing how you guys can still hit it. Very cool. Always loved this group. Unreal harmonies.

[@douglasmcconnell8116]

Still sounds Great with most of the original lineup..

[@TigerRogers0660]

Just brilliant Jim!! LOVE this song!! Nothing beats those harmonies!! These 3 Adelaide musicians were the heart & soul of the band. Cheers Tiger.

[@Nipstersongs1]

You must be proud of them, Tiger. They were a fantastic band and I play them often. Thanks so much for your comment! Jim

[@tolits18vlog62]

So, the 3 of them are Australians? Thanks for the info brother.

[@MarcGoudreau]

Goodness, what a great day to find this wonderful musical gem from the past. To see and hear the LRB together after such a long time playing one of their best is really what brings me back to YT day after day. These guys are true legends.

Wish I could be there and give them a standing ovation

LRB sounds better than 30 years ago. Great ! Gives me hope. The very young backup band behind them is very lucky to be there.

[@broadcasttttable]

Why I love youtube...get to see perfect live renditions. Always loved Shorrock's voice. He sounds better here than the studio version.

[@Oldcrow77]

Just beware If you buy tickets to see little river band. They won’t be there. For whatever reason they sold the name and it’s now just a tribute band. They can’t use the name They are now BSG.

[@broadcasttttable]

@@Oldcrow77 Confused...so the tribute band goes by the name BSG? Are there original members of LRB still touring and THEY'RE using BSG? Or is the tribute band known as the Little River Band?

You need to see Shorrock live with Cadd. They are both awesome and haven't lost it!

I love these guys a lot. It makes my heart bloom..

[@2ubtrue]

My first concert (rock) was LRB back in 81' I think... Still appreciate them. Very few bands can do vocals like LRB.. Beach Boys and Eagles... but great vocals indicate talent and separate the gold from the garbage.

[@Ed-527]

I miss the original guys, so much turmoil in the music industry

[@brentdunn1020]

Great sound

[@D6EH]

I just read a comment where somebody said they were the Australian Eagles…. which I think is pretty accurate. Their songs have held up and it appears their voices have too. Bravo!

[@sippigrrrl]

This sounds incredible! I remember my mom had this on an 8-track (I think? It got stuck in her car that summer, so I was perfectly happy with that!) and I was either 3 or 4 years old, and I still adore the music as much now as I did then. The harmonies here are beautiful and so satisfying. Thank you for sharing!

[@KPinCA1]

Good grief they sound just like they did when this song was released in what -1981?? NICELY DONE LRB

What a pairing, Bowie and Reznick! You can see the emotions on Trent's face hearing Bowie singing HIS song. Love it!!🤩

[@thomaspick4123]

Simon is a great guitarist. He plays the lead with passion. He gets to show off his stuff in the prelude to Mistress of Mine. That guitarist, who owns the Little River Band name now, Housden, is way over the top. When that Housden guitarist played with the group, every song was a blowing session, way over played, nauseating. A blowing session is for practicing your chops at home. The Little River Band song writing was exceptional. The harmonies excellent. The polish made by the strict discipline of Graeham Goble.

[@pedaphelps]

such awesome music
