- Curiosity Killed The Cat - Little River Band FILM CLIP (1975). The first clip made by LRB for their first single release in Australia. Curiosity Killed The Cat (Words & Music by Beeb Birtles)
Ladies and gentlemen, the ORIGINAL and real Little River Band!
Good stuff mate,,,
Little River Band was one of the most underrated bands of all time. A harmony equal to early Styx. Incredible band.
filmed in Collingwood, Melbourne in my late fathers studio by Paul Drane of Countdown, most film clips were produced there, skyhooks, dragon etc
Timm Masson cool never realized that. So much classic from Melbourne then.
Hi Timm, what was your fathers name, where was the studio?
Lisa Sutherland-Fraser - yet LRB were originally from Adelaide
it's now 2024 but I can still hear this echoing through the school corridors in the hot summer of 75 in my mind.
I'm in my teenage years and I just found out about them months ago because my neighbor's dad played "The Night Owls" while i was eating. Upon hearing the song, I immediately stood up and took my phone to ask google song recognition "what song is currently playing right now". I really loved that song on the first listen and that's why I decided to dig up on their albums and releases... This band is definitely GOAT!🤘 They have awakened my Musician self!!!
The 70's and 80's was the golden era for Australian music. So much talent...
They were good times ,
You know you are a fan when they play LRB at a party and you know every single lyric ❤️🎼❤️
I have always been a fan of glen's but the little river band was every thing 2 me ❤
I still listen to their music decades later.
Saw these guys live in Adelaide South Australia in a small nightclub called Countdown, in 1975.
This song is so original its hard to say if its pop,rock,funk,jazz,reggae,blues,it just is!
Exactly!
It's fantastic, that's what it is!
Ah oui entièrement d'accord avec toi.
Je suis français et j'adore ce morceau.
LRB a fait beaucoup de belles chansons.
Ils ont influencé beaucoup de groupes y compris dans le genre AOR ou Hard FM
Leans heavily into funk and reggae. Such a good song. Not sure why it's not on their greatest hits compilation.
I loved this track from the moment I heard it as a kid in the 70's, I'm 60 now and am just appreciating the bass line along with everything else in the recording, just love it.
Australia's BEST! What a band, lyrics and harmonies...LRB was a cut above the rest in Australia
Every LRB song by the original members are memorable and recognized by millions.
EXCELLENT! Rick Formosa on Guitar? brilliant.
I frikkn love this song and this video - This is 70s white funk at it's absolute tastiest!!
Yes, there wasn't too much funk in Australia in the mid-70's. As well as the funky feel, some very nice lead guitar playing by Ric Formosa too.

I hate that the vision director cuts to a shot of George McArdle's head while Ric Formosa plays his awesome guitar solo...
@@asd36f Got to love the 70’s💕
Twilights,Axiom and LRB. Glen has a singing voice that is so easy to listen to. Thanks for the many years of your great music. Never stop.
Yes I agree best group from aussi land ❤
@@user-ff3tb3oh5l Good on ya sport! (Aussie for "thanks")
I saw the band 1976 in Duisburg ... they were the openers for a Hollies concert ... and i am glad to see this clip ... so happy ... wonderful song ... love it ... never forgotten ...
Ric formosa great guitarist.🎸
In a recent interview, he said he was heavily influenced by USA high-energy blues rock guitarist, Johnny Winter
Guitar work compliments vocal harmonies. The sound is fat, filling, fabulous, free, forever.
Great song !
Rock, pop, reggae, funk , all in one !
Great band,and look at the 1975 fashions! Bell bottom slacks open shirts, long hair.. I was there and remember!! ❤
Me too. I had them!
Thanks for this Graeham. I'm a Producer here in the US. We spoke through email a few years ago about LRB's vocal production and your harmony tips and mix ideas were very valuable to me. I wish there was some way you guys could come back to the US to tour as BSG. Don't worry about the name, we all know the story. Real fans know who you are!
Jonny cash
Whats BSG?
@@dankilgorelyme BSG = Birtles / Shorrock / Goble.
An excellent song with a great, soulful arrangement. LRB was so cool - on par with Steely Dan, Crosby, Stills and Nash (Young ) and The Eagles. I remember when Dave Briggs joined LRB and he played a 410-HD Music Man amp - I got one too!
Most harmonic band, in the Southern Hemisphere ❤️
Pure musicianship ❤️🎶
Mr Shorrock is just so fucking cool in this clip...I love it! Great band, great songs.
Good times mate Sydney.
...and, RICK FORMOSA effortlessly brilliant!!!
Roxy Roxburgh he’s a neighbour, I’ve spent a fair bit of time in his studio....he’s incredibly knowledgeable, and a great cook!
Always will be a fan of LRB
Yes me too but the originals not the wanna be's from the US 😂😂
This song is a classic. I was 3 when it came out.
i remember sitting in the lounge as a toddler with my dad's hifi stereo blasting the vinyl..

Still love listening to these wonderful tunes! Thank you! LRB is what made me want to replace my turntable system. I have so many of these albums! FABULOUS!!!!
Absolutely a first class job. I love this number from when I first heard it on radio (a.m.), and went straight to Pitt's Record Bar in Glenhuntly Rd, Elsternwick (Victoria) and bought the single, which I still have today.
Thanks again.
The video production of this song is only bettered by the clothing and superb music, arrangement and vocal harmonies. Can you tell I love this song! Hell yeah.
This song is rockin,' I only had to wait 40 years to hear it for what it is.
first song I remember hearing from LRB, was 8 years old...by age 11 I was at my first live show in Mt Gambier at the King's Theatre, in the balcony looking down on hundreds of people undulating like waves and still the best music I've ever heard
I remember buying this song on a 45rpm record many years ago great song and fantastic memories
l attended one of your first concerts at Festival Hall not long after the release of this single. Our first real 'supergroup' - A cliche from the past.
Love LRB and know Beeb Birtles. Wish all cats were as curious.
Still remember watching this on Countdown in 75
This was the very first single I ever bought from my own pocket money.I was 12 at the time.I still own this single along with all the others I bought as I grew up.
I was 8 when this came out. This video is really cool. Brings back memories of my older teenage sisters '70s outfits, bell-bottoms & polyester galore ! Love it !
I literally remember seeing this video the day it premiered on 'Hey Hey it's Saturday'. And it's soooo long ago that Hey Hey was on Saturday morning!
Wow... hadn’t heard this in so long... someone posted a pic of a curious cat and it reminded me of this song ... brilliant
Oh wow, I haven’t seen that Video Clip since 1975-76 when I was 10, I thought the video was so cool then and it still is now. Love you guys so much. When are we getting a Digital remaster 4K of The video, please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰, such a cool video.
Memories mate,,,13 years old ,,Sydney Australia,
Brings me memories back when I was 13yrs old wow long time.
Time goes quick, good times,,,Sydney, I was 13 years old
Yep, I was 13 too, but let's face it the 1970s was great for teenagers, we were blessed.
Only 11 when this song hit charts in 75, loved the clean catchy sound.
I just saw glen at the Laurieton lusc last nite
What a legend !
Amazing, iconic music era, LRB, Aussie music royalty!!!
These guys are super smooth
Met the whole Band in Hobart at the casino mid 80’s. Good drummer good bloke great band. Our greatest. In my opinion....
You opened for QUEEN !! How crazy is that?
always liked glen shorrock he looks nice here!
Magnificent sound restoration. Thank you, Graeham. Thank you for this and thank you for the music :)
tui teka oh mum
Great Aussie band ♥️
I visited my dad last week and amongst the Steve Vai, Brahms, and Wagner we heard that evening we also listed to an LRB hits disk I found in his CD collection. so I', going on another LRB lick again. He raised us on classical but someone he worked with him introduced him to LRB and in the week on the cusp of 1978and 1979 we listened to a recording of Sleeper Catcher a lot during the 1st time we visited the cabin in winter; it has no electricity and we just used a memo tape player (even thought the tape was in stereo) Within months we were all familiar with the 1st album and the North American version of Diamantina Cocktail as well.
I've often told people that LRB where similar to Queen, and although not as technical and layered in the studio, the music of LRB was more modern and contemporary and actually holds up as approachable progressive and sometime even hard rock, NOT the melody country pop as it's so often mischaracterized as. LRB also uses the same vocal tactics in the studio as Queen and also sings harmonies live the way Queen did with Freddie Mercury singing the lower harmony parts as Shorrock does to save his voice; You're the Roger Taylor of the live vocal arrangements: Top. When I 1st played my mom Passion and Warfare by Steve Vai in 1990 she said "some of it sounds like LRB". I don't think a bigger compliment is possible in all of rock music. Thanks for the music, the memories, and for posting this video.
My parents had this on 45. Love it.
Pop/Rock Perfection
Fantastic !
top notch mate thank you, loved it
Great stuff
Just love this song!
i was 19 yo and saw them a lot great band !
I remember the 1st time I heard this round 74/75 I thought sooo classy ...
superb love lrb (the originals) greetings from Scotland
This is real music, this is real good taste
"Curiosity Killed The Cat-LITTLE RIVER BAND,reminds me when I was a Teenage boy at 17,in 1983.
Same I was 19
Fun times mate,,70 80
Saw them live at the GSAC NJ and they played live exactly like their recordings perhaps even better...
Thanks much for posting, Graeham
Love this Song.❤️❤️❤️❤️😘💯
Excellent thanks Graeham--what about Roger trying to look like Lindsay Buckingham !
Still listening to this, in December 2021.
Memories of being a child loved this band bit of reggae at the beginning in the rift 🥰
I just heard that on the radio now
Incredible - top notch!🙏💙
hello, how are you doing it is nice meeting you here.
They should have blasted s
all charts ❤️
I JUST LOVE THIS SONG ❤🎶🎵
This song barely gets a mention on LRB's Wikipedia page which seems odd. I remember it as their breakout hit which, with the help of this clip, introduced them huge new audience.
Saw them UKu&thr States They outplayed every Headliner every time.😊
remember watching this on Countdown and trying to remember the lyrics in 75 when I was 8
Bloody hell! Glenn Shorrock looked friggin' awesome here!
Did you just wake up from the Seventies? 😄
He will always be awesome too me adelaide fan from way back ❤
Rhythm Section
I'm telling you I know where it's at ! Thanks Graeham
A touch a reggae❤🍀
Brilliant, their best.
Soooooo sick
Graham I remember seeing lrb at bond Beach 1975playing this
great live band in the 70s
Brilliant songwriter.even in he's other rock bands.geniys.
hello, how are you doing it is nice meeting you here.
This great track reminds me of "Dreadlock holiday". I wonder if 10cc got their inspiration from this song?.
Great song.👌🏾
This is the real lrb class!
Sometimes, I think I'm just a crazy cat
Running around, don't know where it's at
Getting confused with my way of life
That's when you say, "Now, you cut that jive right now, right now"
You keep this flame, I have a light in me
And with this cat, it's curiosity
That keeps me hanging on night and day
Surprisingly, again, I hear you say, "Guess what, guess what"
Curiosity killed the cat
I'm telling you I know where it's at
Love is everywhere to be found
Open your eyes and look around
You, you, you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Some things you say, take me by surprise
I like your style so, give me your advice
Send me the truth, and I'll always be
Singing your song with you in harmony (that's right, that's right)
Curiosity killed the cat
I'm telling you I know where it's at
Love is everywhere to be found
Open your eyes and look around
Curiosity killed the cat
I'm telling you I know where it's at (yes, I do)
Love is everywhere to be found
Open your eyes and look around
You, you, you (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Ah, ah, ah (aah, aah)
Ooh-ooh-ooh

Gorgeous blokes...mmm.....
Kristin Burton you are right!!
IT'S 2021 - ALWAYS MAGIC 😅
after 30 Minutes i finally synced it with the Spotify version for the sake of boredom
wowwwwww...... I'm happy they morphed into other things, jmo
love to know what pedals Ric was using to get that unique sound
Actually very cool
Awesome. I remember this playing over the school PA in recess echoing all over the school. Loved it then.. Love it now !
It was one of the very few good things about Cannington High (WA)
Graeham, Did you guys release a 12" mix ? I bought the single back then but I'd love a super (it's a long way there) extended mix)
Pity Glenn couldn’t get the original band with Ric ,Beeb Graham etc back and tour the states they would make a fortune
Look at thems extra bell bottoms.
Groovy!!😵💫😵💫
