Little River Band - Reminiscing (Live 1979)

Heard this song when first released in 1978 when I was 34 years old and still loving it on my 79th birthday in 2023. Lord, thank you for that 70’s music!!❤️

I'm 38 and i couldn't agree more!! I'm a old soul.

[@wordragon]

This was a musician's band. For example, Glenn Fry always said The Eagles harmonies weren't as good but owed homage to The Little River Band. This band was a favorite of the bands the masses loved in their era.

I used to play this song for my mom on Sunday mornings after breakfast, starting around 2010 when she was 74 yrs old. The song made me think of her and my dad's courtship days in the early 1950's at Michigan State; he was a big Glen Miller fan and they'd go dancing on weekends at Wampler's Lake, where the big bands used to come play on their Midwest tours. She loved this song b/c it reminded her of him, who passed away after 52yrs of marriage in 2006., She died 1 day shy of her 87th b-day on Feb. 7, 2021. Miss ya, mom.

[@handsomeX]

And sound just as good or even better than the recording! 💪💯🔥

[@doodleedledoo]

I would suggest this is almost certainly what they called a TV track. When they mixed the record they would have done a pass with just the lead vocal missing but everything else in there ( strings included and you'll note there are no string players or horns there) so it's basically karaoke. All that said, he is a great singer and I'm sure the band were all excellent musicians and singers but it would have been too problematic to try to do a television show and expect the mix for a live band to be this impeccable for one song as one band on a show with multiple artists.

[@65vaughn]

Amen to that !!!!

[@qqw743]

This ladies and gentlemen, is a terrible song. I thought so when it came out and it hasn’t aged well. Bring on the auto tune if this is what the other option is

BUT... that distinctive sonic sound on the drums and the first string movement between verse 1 and 2 give me pause... Look, either way... This is an absolute classic. Oh... and one other clue that they are at least partially tracked... they did not END the song... just faded out just as that incredible horn solo would have begun on the record. Let me know what you think, Joe. This is a friendly debate.

This guy, Graeham Goble, wrote a masterpiece; a beautiful jazzy melody with enchanting lyrics relatabe to all those who have ever fallen in love. One of the best pop songs of all time, IMO. 0:38 We hear Glenn Miller Band mentioned in this song. Glenn Miller with his jazzy pop music had more hits in the 1930s and 1940s than all these performers had; more than Elvis, The Beatles, Rihannon - you name it. Glenn Miller's got more billboard hits than all other performers have in their careers.

The Little River Band still rates as one of the very best groups to emerge from that classic era of popular music, the 1970s, and their repertoire remains as immaculate today more than four decades on, as it did back in the '70s, even though none of the key members of the group are recognisable, as Father Time takes its toll. They were originally from a south west part of Melbourne called Little River after the stream that flowed south through the area, and ultimately took their brand of music and exquisite harmony to the USA to achieve remarkable success, but in typical parasitic fashion, as is the norm in the states, some local yokel spotted the talent and took out a copyright on the name LRB, so now the lads in their senior years play under their on names as SBG (Shorrock, Birtles Goble), but still perform their old classics untainted. Glen Shorrock, lead singer, was the idol of all the girls in the 1970/80s and many would still testify so now, but the years show no mercy, so time has marched on for them all, as it does for all of us. Reminiscing is the top of a very rich mountain of releases and it is now time emind all of that, as their mentor, guide and production manager, Glen Wheatley, who took them to the States and also fostered many others to a higher level including Johnny Farnham and Delta Goodrem, has suddenly succumbed to Covid related issues and passed away aged 74 this week. Glen Wheatley was himself a top pop singer as base guitarist for The Masters Apprentices, but his main talent was as a manager, so he will be greatly missed. Glen Shorrock responded to the sad news with much praise, and it is worth knowing that the late Glen Frey of Eagles fame considered The Little River Band as one of the era's greatest groups, so Vale Glen Wheatley and take it away LRB. This live performance is as good as any studio production, testifying to their natural talent, no technology availed nor ever needed, for their 1978 release, introduced here by REO Speed-wagon lead, in 1979, on the US Midnight Special programme.
