If you have Glenn on stage with you, things are going pretty well.

[@tomgebarowski8156]

I love how melodic their hit songs were, even the guitar solos on them were. LRB was a great band...underrated!

[@seanlowe4785]

seriously, who underrates them? Nobody, so don't say it

[@wheelmobile33]

Thats awesome todays music not even close 👍

[@robertdavis5976]

You know you are good when you sound the same live as you do in the studio. I can think of very few bands that do.

[@melissadavis225]

Yes seen The Little River Band years back they sounded the same they were the bomb awesome sounded phenomenal

[@maryhuhnke8496]

May I suggest another Aussie..INXS. In studio or live.

[@tomgebarowski8156]

Good point!

[@normatible9795]

Lots of band sound as good iF not better than studio, the likes of pink Floyd, genesis, allman Brothers band, Pearl jam,Alice in chains, the eagles, loggins and Messina , the Alan Persons project, foo fighters…actually, most bAnds aspire to be in their best during live performances

Quality musicians making quality music. No fuss, no must. Just a bunch of guys jamming. All talented in their own right. Their live shows & concerts must be pure magic. Long live the great LBR. Pure ENERGY !!!!

[@moedeluca2318]

I've seen LRB twice and they were some of the best concerts I'd ever been too. And having Glenn Frey sit in with them here is awesome! May Glenn rest in peace.

[@martiegerecke6642]

Got to see both LRB and the Eagles each one time. Best generation of music!

[@marisha4sure]

I only saw them once in the early 80's when they were all still together.

[@ninod1502]

saw them in 76 or 77, i believe they opened for the eagles on their hotel calif tour

LRB. Yes, one of the best bands of our time. Mine anyway! Off the chain. I loved their sound when I was 15, and still love them at 62.

so good, the harmonizing is amazing...so underrated

[@d.mhulon7861]

I love this song

[@derrickmaliao4694]

Can't believe Glenn Frey actually joined them in this performance. No wonder I like very much both bands Eagles and Little River Band

[@coolcat6303]

If you buy their Deluxe G/H or maybe even stream it, there’s a version of “Take it Easy” from this concert where Glenn sings lead and LRB sings the harmonies.

[@skookum86]

I saw them perform this live in NYC circa 1981. The vocal harmonies were spine tingling. Wish they could reconcile and get back together in the US!

[@MarkSpicer-Playlists]

I love all of LRB's music but this song, Cool Change, and Lonesome Loser are my top three. Well done!

[@007ndc]

Graeham you are the foundation stone of LRB and always will be. Great jam

[@donjohnsmusic3116]

One of my all time favorite bands!

[@redfishradical]

Way too cool! Loved the Eagles (esp. w/Walsh!) and always thought LRB were criminally underrated. To see them with Glenn is just way to freaking cool! My brother got to see LRB live in the 80s some time & said it was a fantastic, tight show. As a concert junkie since a kid in the 70s always been sorry I never got to catch them in all of their eclectic glory! I'll still put Cool Change on repeat & just let it play over & over to this day! Thank you so much for sharing Brother!

[@saphrensport7891]

Yeah, saw LRB in the 80's. as good live as recorded. great show

[@wambikat4931]

@@saphrensport7891 not many bands can master live vs. Studio. I feel LRB did amazing, Eagle's & a few others in this era. Sadly, most bands in today's music rely on autotune. The ABSOLUTE best days of the amazing bands is behind us & the youngin's don't appreciate or get to know that fantastic era . Thankfully technology is a great way to relive that & especially the concert videos Thanks for posting

[@seanswinton6242]

My concert junkie days were in the 80's. I was blessed to see them twice in the 80:s. Real band, real musicians, real voices!

Housden is a great player but it's a shame he shafted the original guys Glenn and Graham in later years.

[@Peter_S_]

Graeham, this song introduced me to Rock n Roll radio when it was released and it sparked a life-long love of music. For me it all started with LRB. THANK YOU!!!

[@voxac30withstrat]

My wife and I and friends were there as usual you guys were brilliant. My boys grew up with your music playing in our house and had the pleasure of meeting you at the concert you did with Beeb and Glenn in Shepperton. We were having chinese across the park and the two bioys saw you guys at the next table. They still have all your autographs. I was deeply impressed when Glenn came and sat with me while the boys talked to you.

Great to see the band in the late 80’s and nice to see Glenn Frey on stage. He was apparently quite fond of LRB and was even quoted as saying “they are the best singing band in the world”. Btw, if you buy the 20th Anniversary G/H cd, there’s a live version of “Lyin Eyes” & “Take it Easy” from this concert where Glenn sings lead and LRB sings the harmonies.

[@rebecca75588]

Frey once called Little River Band the "greatest harmony band in the world". Now...he was probably referring to a slightly earlier version than this....perhaps circa 1975 -1983 ish....but some of the same guys are here...and it's still a great sound!!
