LITTLE RIVER BAND - REMINISCING | REACTION

[@pamcruz9134]

Every Little River Band song is fantastic, even when the lead singer changed ,try Cool Change, Take it Easy on Me, and Night Owl are wonderful ❤❤

[@DHARMN00]

Amen

[@RaffaPed]

The horn that comes in near the end of the track is a flugelhorn played by the Australian Jazz musician Bob Venier. The final recorded version was total improvisation and the first take he did. He did 3 other takes but the band preferred the 1st one.

[@wendyt7958]

my absolute favorite by them

[@827dusty]

One of my favorite songs from this era. Late 70s, or early 80s.

[@SLam-ve3yp]

This is what I call a perfect song. I still love it as much today as I did when it first came out.

[@gregj1295]

Yes, "Cool Change"-"Take it Easy on Me" or Lonesome Loser" are nice songs.

[@eclconsulting]

Haven't heard this song in forever! Thanks for reacting to it.

[@bangmon1000]

This reminds me of how much I loved listening to the radio growing up.

[@awesome6486]

nailed it

[@debbiel.1655]

YES! Every song they have is soooo good!!!

[@genecase326]

They kind of flew under the radar but they had so many wonderful songs and this one is one of their best. As I've said before...music for grown-ups!

[@PublicAnimalNo9]

The Little River Band has quite a few very good songs. Love to get your take on these, Happy Anniversary, Cool Change, Lonesome Loser, The Night Owl, and Down on the Border. You do a great job on these review, really enjoy them!

[@TheSchuyler75]

must have had this on a mix tape back in the day because sentimental lady is playing right after this in my mind….it’s been so long..great selection 👍🦋✌🏻

[@vrvaughn]

Somehow I wrote these guys off when I was growing up,, I think it was all too mellow for me back then but being brought back to this now I can see what great songs these are and how finally crafted and produced. Nice to double back and appreciate these guys.. thanks Chod

[@RaffaPed]

The mid to late 70's was a strange time in Australian music. Heavier rock was more the flavour, so bands like the Bee Gees, LRB, or Air Supply were not as popular as bands like ACDC or The Angels.

[@karenmikalofsky7996]

Great song! All the good feels 😊 Cool Change is also a favorite.

[@timothyharwood1941]

Thank you for all your reactions.

[@AndyFNQ84]

Thanks for a top reaction to a top song mate

[@surlechapeau]

Glenn Shorrock has a calming voice. Great reaction, this song has it all musically and vocally. Their "Help Is On The Way" was a #1 hit

[@jimearnest4342]

This is such a vibe, always been my favorite of them.

[@richardrodriguez2120]

Can’t go wrong with LRB. They have a lot of good songs

[@Bucketheadgoat]

I was 11 when this came out. Every doctor and dentist office had this song playing in their office. Great memories.

[@romeosyne]

Dude you're not wrong this is a magical track. These guys tried many times to nail this in the studio before this got down on tape...then it fell into place.

[@danielwalker1538]

Killer song!

[@randybean4678]

Glenn's voice is butter.

[@garfield122010]

" cool change " is another great track, it's called " Yacht Rock " here in the UK ❤️

[@dabig25]

LOVE me some Yacht Rock... it's called the same thing in the US

[@charlenewebb5893]

One of my favorites Oh Memories !

[@briansredd]

This band is a fun rabbit hole to go down.

[@mariaportengen2959]

It's a long way there. Is also a great song of them. 🎸🎸🎶🎶

[@masapell]

There is so much “ear candy” in this song. I love what the drummer does at 2:30 when clamps the high hat. Small, but so tasty!

[@scottdebruyn7038]

Who knew that Australians had (/have) soul (and /R&B)! Mind Blown, Right? :)LOL(:

[@MountainMan.]

Those are some smooth cool brothers making audio silk right there.

[@rogerkelly7988]

Little River Band was a mixture of some of the greatest musicians of the time

[@stevewynter4519]

Why Little River Band? they named the band after seeing a road sign "Little River" on there way to Geelong in Victoria Australia in 1975

[@voahiranarakotonaivo6480]

Great song...my favorite from the LRB.

[@trespatines8698]

Such a feel good song.

[@dannycasson1551]

Love this band. Every summer I used to see go them live at Humphrey’s By The Bay here in San Diego. Those were the days…

[@jennhurl]

Cool Change & Take It Easy On Me are killer! 🔥

[@carty43]

LRB in those years, easily one of the class acts on the radio.

[@joelliebler5690]

A perfect tune from beginning to end!

[@MrBruinman86]

I loved these guys when they came out. Great band. Great harmonies as well.

[@D1Gr8hansGraf]

I was fortunate to see them a couple of years ago with Poco and America. You can’t help, but reminisce when you listen to their music.

[@shanehenderson8756]

I think most of us have had a time where we wish it would never end .but it does and so here we are years later, REMINISCING! "Sigh" !

[@TheSchuyler75]

man i am going to go through their catalog…i forgot how much i like their sound 🙏🌻

[@grandy2875]

Another Aussie super band... everything they touched was gold. They were very popular over there in the states as well as a heap of other places but they remained true blue Aussies... Glenn Shorrock has one of the most iconic voices in the industry... check out some of his early stuff with Brian Cadd when they were in a band called Axiom... ;)

[@deegomez2089]

Cool Change please and thank you!! 🎶🎵

[@beeseewill2407]

The little river band is very versatile.Check out "Cool Change". Great sound.Love" Reminiscing."

[@karenj3611]

Cool change is another favorite

[@HanDrumsolo]

one of the coldest jams of all time. Lady is also amazing and Cool Change

[@maryhanrahan]

Cool Change is a super chill song I love of theirs ( fun fact - John Farnham was lead singer for a while when Glenn took a break from the band)

[@jackie_jrml]

This song. What a jam (bop??) 😂 Such a nostalgic song for me. My dad and I always sang this together in the car if it was on. Reminiscing….

[@andrewmantle7674]

Folklore has it that John Lennon was asked what music he enjoyed back in 1979 and he said this was his favourite song at the time. Great Australian band with so many good songs. Home on a Monday is one of my favourites.👍

[@dannymoore6886]

I think at one time the Little River Band was the largest money making machine in all of Australia. Sold over 30 million albums. A HUGE success.

[@williambeasley2582]

This carry you back to a simpler place in time and makes everyone feel happier.

[@mizladytaz]

Takes me back to Jr. High School! ❤️

[@brendaotoole4012]

Ok after those 2 Cool Change is a must! So good! Warning if you need a change in your life, like at a breaking point you might cry!

[@jerrysarno2853]

Their best song is "It's a Long Way There".

[@rolandknosch6213]

Yesss 👍

[@sylvimichelle6447]

❤💜❤💜❤💜this song so so much!!I prefer this one with Glen Shorrock. Just beautiful 😍

[@beatnpotatoes]

This was my wedding song. A Perfect song. Timeless.

[@cindy2252]

Little River Band takes me back to some good memories of my 20's. Another great band from the same time, that I think you'd like is "Pure Prairie League". "Amie" and "Let Me Love You Tonight" are great. I don't think I've seen any PPL reactions.

[@BW-jv6jg]

Cool Change is a must hear. Love your reactions 😍

[@stevemariman8769]

"Reminiscing" is such a sweet, groovy, catchy song! Such great instrumental and vocal jazz chords, steady rhythm pocket etc. "Happy Anniversary, Baby" was another radio hit I remember from LRB, around then too, in the late 70s.

[@TigerRogers0660]

Just a brilliant band!! So proud that they are Australian!!

[@worldwidebirthdaycelebrations]

I love how you said you wait until the end, before you give a reaction! It's less of a distraction, that way!

[@SweetThing]

Great Australian band! :-)

[@bethking7348]

Music is a universal language

[@angelajakem366]

"Help is on its way" is another great song you should give a listen to!

[@joddo81]

The Night Owls is a great song...

[@cameronboulware1927]

Yes Chod please do a reaction on Night Owls omg that song is very haunting ❤️ it

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

I’ll be home on a Monday is my favourite song by this band

[@stephaniedavis2749]

The Little River Band is smooth!

[@karenj3611]

This was from the year I got married. Great song

[@dmgiliam]

Me too!

[@unichusettsofmassadversity9705]

Smooth jazz/rock/fusion is the best! George Benson, Steely Dan, any alt. rock from the early 70s... Stevie Wonderful!

[@nelliejewell2665]

Happy Anniversary Baby - Please!. This song has you written all over it.

[@richardhenderson9767]

Great song... I saw "Lady" yesterday from you..😀😀 Try "Night Owls", "Lonesome Loser", "Cool Change", and "Take It Easy On Me"...

[@ronbrown912]

LRB is one of the greatest bands of their era. Period.

[@garycolon4213]

The brass instrument at the end is a flugelhorn, which is similar to the trumpet.

[@RadCenter]

Fall semester of my junior year in high school. I almost forgot about this one!

[@dennisjohnson2772]

I was in h.s. 76-82 and we had great music,dance or otherwise.

[@roberthendershott8972]

John Farnham filled in for LITTLE RIVER BAND FOR A WHILE. PLEASE CHECK OUT HIS VERSION WITH THEM ON THIS SONG.🔥💯

[@micko11154]

Way better than this version! As usual anything Farnham does is the best!

[@garycolon4213]

@@micko11154 Have to disagree. Farnham is very talented, but he seems to be more concerned with showing off his pipes than in honoring the melody. This song calls for the smooth, melodic approach, which Glenn has in spades. Not knocking Farnham's vocal abilities, but Glenn's voice is the voice of The Little River Band. John Farnham is more suited to being a solo artist.

[@scottlaughlin9897]

Night Owls should be next!

[@knoxvol7512]

Chod - you'll love the vocals on "Take it easy on me". The lead is shared in this song and the harmonies are perfect. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3e3q6iNgLdgp8U

[@johnandrews3151]

Little River Band/It's A Long Way There ALBUM VERSION. Epic!

[@sean---the-other-one]

The flugelhorn player on this track was Bob Venier, one of Australia’s top jazz players. Chod, you might like to check out (maybe not for this channel, just for your own pleasure) his old band Pyramid, where he played alongside Roger MacLachlan on bass guitar (who also played in LRB and played the bass on John Farnham’s You’re The Voice), David Hirschfelder on keyboards, and David Jones on drums. They’re all world class jazz players. Here’s a link to a couple of songs at the Montreux Jazz Festival: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opewq6evYrN4grc

[@douglasgonzalez7561]

The Little River Band is a VIBE. They are smooth and classy. You can’t go wrong reacting to anything by them! They’re worthy of being in your top tier of groups. (Which HAS to be more than 10. In fact, you should ditch the notion of setting a number to that tier)

[@feferosette]

Love this song. 🙂

[@kaysgee9117]

Great to hear how, as a musician, you appreciate these songs. Thanks for the reactions. It helps me realize why I enjoy these songs so much more than so much of today's music. Not that I don't like any of today's music, but the ones I do like seem to be so few & far in-between.

[@christophersimons128]

Another Aussie gem.

[@angielofton6372]

Glenn Shorrock sang lead on this song. He was great and I loved this song when it came out. Chod, I gotta tell you there is a live version of this song sung by a later front man named John Farnsworth. It will blow you away.

[@rosmeeker1964]

Farnham.

[@angielofton6372]

@@rosmeeker1964 Whoops! Thanks, had a brainfart.

[@billg763]

A great band from Down Under. Good review Chod. If you like this song they have a few more to choose from.

[@alexstevenson2776]

Little River is a small town you go pass on the way to Geelong outside of Melbourne Victoria Australia, and driving to geelong for a gig they sore the sign Little River, Click that is our name LRB

[@skyblue9515]

That would be our parents from the 40's, they are singing about.

[@davidavi8554]

' It's a long way there' is my favorite song by LRB.

[@VikingJeff]

I would also recommend "Help Is On It's Way".

[@styles2980]

LRB again, please also check out "Man on Your Mind", "The Night Owls", & "Lonesome Loser" by the LRB.

[@flash1660]

Yes they are special with a great sound. You would love my favorite band the Alan Parsons project try dammed if I do and psychobabble and old and wise

[@kevinmcconnell9426]

You will really love “Cool Change”.

[@elainemarsh5170]

Always loved this song! Try Lonesome Loser and Cool Change.

[@flubblert]

Guilty pleasure. Got to check out "The Night Owls" next.

[@rickgibson4641]

Cool change is my fave LRB song.

[@jimmayors2315]

OK, so now you need to see the live performance with John Farnham as the lead singer. Equally awesome. Shows the talent of this band, the vocal ability of John, and the great guitar work of Stevie Housden

[@usmadgirl3074]

John Farnham is my FAVORITE singer of ALL time, but I like Glenn better with LRB because John's super powerful voice seemed to overpower Beeb & Graeham. I'm not crazy about Steven Housden because he is one of the main reasons, the ORIGINAL LRB members can no longer use THEIR name of THEIR own original band!

[@dabig25]

White Bands in the 70's had so much soul... lol

[@davidahart2113]

LRB is one of my all time favorite bands. Check out the song "Cool Change" next. I think you'll like it a lot!
