This HBO special was the first time I saw Little River Band perform. I fell in love with them. The love has lasted almost 40 years.

Farnham could belt out the songs. Saw them when toured the upstate NY area back then . The concert was like listening to the LP's on a good stereo system , thats how good their sound was. The voices werent drowned out by the instruments . They had everything dialed in perfect .

Absolutely flawless harmonies....LIVE....the way it's supposed to be

[@peterrecks5725]

Truly Great Aussie Band... really added another dimension to Farnsy.... another Great Vander and Young song.

LOVE THIS!

I REALLY liked the Shorrock led LRB but this band with Farnham really kicked ass. They had Beeb still. He makes the difference. I don't think he was long for LRB past this show. And that tall woman in the pink tank top and skirt swaying and dancing ... oh my. Back in the day lol. I'll bet she's STILL a beauty.

Summer of 1983 HBO was showing his concert regularly and every time it came on I watched it for this song and for. "D"!

[@whiteapple2313]

Wow.

[@allymayful]

l was so hoping this was a cover of the Easybeats last single - and it is. Great song.

[@DreamsongsProductions]

Thanks for these videos Graeham, I'm a huge fan but never saw these. Awesome!

Tnx, you have recalled my memory of LRB concert in Tokyo.

I was at the concert in St. Louis (1983) when they rolled out this song. "We appreciate our St. Louis fan base so we wanted to dedicate this song and you're the first to hear it so we hope you'll enjoy it. " Love the song but hard to find on CD or digital.

[@SugarplumSue]

St Louis is on the remastered (2022) version of The Net. On iTunes now

@@SugarplumSue thank you for forwarding. It is a hard cut to find most of time. Do you know if there is a quality video of the Australian concert via HBO?

[@SugarplumSue]

Not that I know of

[@berniebienwald711]

This song and the song D are Farnham's best LRB songs

[@raeleenmason2820]

I would add "We Two"

[@berniebienwald711]

@@raeleenmason2820 I agree

[@TomMarvan]

Written by guitar George and Harry doesn’t mind if he doesn’t make the scene.

Classic

[@paoguy118]

Graeham, I always thought you had written this song.

[@blueycarlton]

An old Easybeats song.
