Little River Band - Live Exposure Concert - 1981

[@robertalberts497]

2023 and this stuff is still effing amazing. It's got me reminiscing. Lol

[@vickyjara9529]

The original LRB will forever be the greatest Australian Band that ever existed! 💕

[@robertmarszalek1978]

I'm from the US and I have to say they are up there with the best of the best in the entire planet and I think their harmonies are probably even better than the Eagles or at least a match but LRB's music just sticks to my ribs a little more because it feels more real and visceral. The best part of the Eagles was no doubt to me Randy and when he left the Eagles were never the same anyway. The only Eagles song that compares to lrb is Take It to the Limit and it sounds like it could have been written by lrb LOL so there you go

[@williamweaver134]

LRB Legendary Band

[@godofredomateo6035]

How come I missed this great and awesome Australian band? I lived in Australia for ten years until I moved to Rome, Italy in 2016, and all I've ever heard from this band is the song "Cool Change" here in YT. While staying home there when Covid lockdown was enforced in March of 2020 I even repeatedly tried it's Karaoke version which always earn a ridicule from my wife! Now, 2022 I'm retired and back in my home country of the Philippines , I only rediscover "Little River Band" when I saw their vocal intro of the song "Lonesome Loser" featured on Rick Beato's Top Vocal Intros of all time. And while checking up with that song, I stumble upon this whole awesome playlist from their concert way back in the U.S. I did'nt even know that "Reminishing" which I enjoy listening on radio back those days was from some American band which in fact was their own! They're simply one of the best band of all time.

[@RogerDiotte]

Good write up there Godofredo....fortunately for me I KNOW all there songs but live so removed from any cities up in Northern Canada my whole life since the 70's and never saw a live concert of em.....sad as I would have had the most beautiful evening spent in their presence!

[@MW-pv7rm]

Simply the best harmonizers in the world. Perfection in deed.

[@TonysMusic1974]

I don't know if I would call them the best, but they are certainly up there! Between LRB and the Eagles, you can't ask for better harmonies!

[@cinnamongirl7877]

My very first concert at the Nashville Tennessee State Fair back in oh........around '79 or '80. It was fantastic and I was hooked on concerts and seeing live music from that time on. These guys are the "real" Little River Band and its a crying shame that the original members cant even use their name anymore. These guys will always be LRB!!!!!!! Those were some good times. Our hospitals are overflowing with Covid patients again and so music is the one thing that can take me back to better times. I hope everyone is safe and well.

[@Slushers1]

I saw LRB in Orange County California in 1986. My wife was pregnant with my first son and they were and still are great. John Farnham was the lead singer back then. I’m 69 now and still love rock music by great artists from the past. 👍😁❤️✌️

[@ricmid]

Except that this version of the band is missing two members George McArdle (bass) and David Briggs (lead guitar), who although not founding members were part of the lineup when the bulk of LRB’s early success came from songs written and recorded during the tenure of Briggs and McArdle with the founders..

[@JedTaneo]

I'm 32 and would like to thank my father for introducing this band to me when I was a kid. I used to play their cassette all the time. Nostalgia!

[@the-Salty-Slayer]

If you were in Houston you could have seen LRB and Journey in the same month. Two awesome bands and the height of their career. Lord give me a time machine to escape the shit that they call music today!!

[@raphaelrousso7124]

ha ha very true and well said !! no more instruments , melody, harmony and so on !! wtf ! why is that ?

[@victorlewis4915]

Both groups were on top during the early 80's!!!!

How about LRB, Journey, Kansas and The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, all within 30 days! YES, YES, YES!

The Little River Band were just brilliant and I enjoyed listening to their songs. I grew up with them. Unfortunately they are based now in the USA without many band members. Greetings from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬

I 2 grew up with and love them dut the band in USA aren't the original line up 😢

[@oasis5827]

I sure do miss the days when we had music that included great song arrangements, vocals, harmonies and meaning. 70's and 80's were amazing times..

[@ladytyphon7261]

I love the original little river band these are trail blazers we know and love. Glen Shorrock even live in 2017 is still vocally strong ,with his rich tones and vocal capacity as strong as it has ever been even with LRB in their hay day. Outstanding group and second to none, imitators need not try and take the bow for work that is not their own. Aussies know when we hear the real deal and we will back them all the way. Narelle

[@briankennedy1192]

Well said Narelle.

[@normatible9795]

Yea. But it was that guy Nelson who sang nightowl who took the name. Even if he recruited john farnham , the ORIGINAL MEMBERS ARE THE BEST ,GREATEST, INCOMPARABLE

[@randall6157]

@@normatible9795 Graeham Goble, Glenn Shorrock, and Beeb Birtles all sold their rights (either unknowingly or uncautiously) to Stephen Housden, the guitar player. The LRB name is owned by We Two Pty, Ltd, Stephen Housden now being the sole owner of the corporation. Wayne Nelson is either a paid employee or paid subcontractor or licensee of the corporation, but Wayne is not an owner of the LRB name.

[@tomthompson5686]

@SECURITY not quite. Nelson is a contract player, a hired hand. It is the person called David Housden who, as the last man standing, inherited the LRB name. He hires musicians to pose as LRB in the US. He is a detestable man whose stated that the original members will never perform under the name LRB "in this lifetime". They won't tour Australia as they know the grisly outcome.
