LIVE in Michigan outdoor festival. Wolfman Jack introduced each band to 90,000 fans. First tour for opening band LRB. second band Nazareth. Third band Heart. Headliner Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. I kid you not....Little River Band stole the show and I became a fan for life. Have seen them MANY times
When I was at Las Vegas Hilton this song flooded into my memories but I had not yet found my lady. Now 30 years later I have married and the lyrics resonate so powerfully in my heart remembering how lost I was in the 90s and how far I have come. When you find the perfect partner there are no regrets and absence makes the heart grow fonder. She is still with me after 25 years and we have the deepest love. I hope all who take time to read this will find true love. God bless.
This song brings back old memories from my high school days, early 1978. During an excursion week in Scheveningen (Holland) I met a really beautiful girl from Belgium. She was French-speaking and I was Dutch-speaking, the same age (18 yo). We had a wonderful evening and night together. She left for home, Brussels, the next day. Every time I hear this song 'Home on a Monday', I always think of that amorous night with that wonderful girl from Brussels, in 1978. Unfortunately, I have never seen her again since then.
How are you interpreting his body language as egotistic arrogance? What do you think, he struts around thinking he's so damned great it's impossible for him to be a bit off his game? To me his body language is saying "I'm really enjoying this and having a great time, and I'm thrilled to be sharing the moment with my bandmates.".
The way David Briggs works that custom volume knob for the pedal steel sounds is just genius. I guess I'm just an old cornball; where he sings about wanting to catch a glimpse of The Man From Memphis, I get a tear in my eye. Elvis had recently passed when Beeb Birtles wrote this song. The Hilton hadn't yet installed the statue and other Elvis tributes, so at the time, he was "gone, never leaving a trace."
I was one of he lucky ones, these guys were always on the radio, or in the car on tape. mid 70's through to early 80s was a great time to Be in Australia..
One of the greatest songs ever! "Can you guess where I'm calling from? The Las Vegas Hilton, I know it's hard to hear, it's just the echo on the line. Yes, that's right I'm calling from The Las Vegas Hilton, I just want to say that I'm feeling fine. I'll be home on a Monday, somewhere around noon, please don't be angry, I'll be back with you real soon. I was hoping to catch a glimpse, of the man from Memphis, they told me that he had gone, never leaving a trace. I just could never get involved with those one-armed bandits, sure am craving for the smile on your face. I'll be home on a Monday, somewhere around noon, please don't angry, I'll be back with you real soon, yeah. You looked so lovely when I left I nearly didn't go, twelve thousand miles is such a long way, help me get to grips with Hollywood, you're getting through to me, Hollywood, you're in my movie. I'll be home on a Monday, somewhere around noon, please don't be angry, I'll be back with you real soon. Can you guess where I'm calling from? Yes, that's right I'm calling from The Las Vegas Hilton".

How peacefully and calmly this music reflects this time. Harmonious beats and lively vocals. Everything is interwoven. Simply beautiful. And that's exactly what characterised LRB and made them stand out from other bands.
In my top-3 songs of ALL times! Solo David Briggs in my opinion best solo ever. What a nice technique and melodic treasure. Two lefthanders (Bass & Guitar) in one band, that's the secret! ;--). Still listening 2022.
The little river name was taken from a small town in West of Melbourne towards Geelong in Victoria, everytime this song is played it reminds me of my home town Point Cook close to Little River town....
Beautiful tune full of lush strings and stunning harmonies. Back when life was carefree….❤️ I always wonder what Glenn Shorrock is thinking as he looks to the camera at the end of the clip. Timeless.
Home On A Monday. The story of touring Aussie bands from the Seekers to Sherbet, Aussie Crawl and of course the fabulous, best ever Little River Band. Shorrock's singing was a big key
What a gorgeous sound, one that could have only come from LRB. We seldom hear orchestral strings in songs any more since keyboards and synths have pretty much taken over that role but it’s hard to duplicate that lush romantic sound. Stellar guitar work as well, that understated solo is so beautiful.
Remember being introduced to LRB's music back in the early 80's by a friend (she lent me a cassette tape lol)...I've always adored that guy's voice and their songs like "Fall from Paradise" and "Light of Day" really resonated with me.
the first album i bought when i was 14 years old i think for my mam her Birthday just by the cover i t tought looked funny She was so happy she loved this band 💜🙏
The simple fact that shadey managers and common criminals robbed the world of ever seeing this band play their songs as they were....a total criminal act.
@@J_S209 I agree, Glenn created the band name from good ol' Little River near Geelong, he is a legend, The Twighlights weren't a bad little band either also Axiom another good band. How they lost the rights to the band name amazes me, only in America.
I kinda assumed this was their "big hit" -- it definitely gets radio play in these parts. But apparently it was never even a single in the US or the UK! Was it a late-breaking radio hit, or just a local scheduler idiosyncrasy?
They were an amazing band, the original members ARE The Little River Band, the American group aren't The Little River Band they're just a cheap copy, they didn't even write the hits.....
One of the best bands of the 70's, actually one of the best ever.
LIVE in Michigan outdoor festival. Wolfman Jack introduced each band to 90,000 fans. First tour for opening band LRB. second band Nazareth. Third band Heart. Headliner Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. I kid you not....Little River Band stole the show and I became a fan for life. Have seen them MANY times
And....takes a ton to beat Bob Seger in Michigan
The opening slide guitar and the solo are just brilliant. David Briggs is a master at matching a solo to the song.
WOOOOW!!!! what an amazing song.....
Aaah, wonderful. From the time when you couldn't tell if someone was 35 or 55.
😂
Yep and when you thought 35 was and old person.
Yes, the era when healthy food wasn't contaminated
Please buy organic or environmentally viable mbiodynamically produced food
Such beautiful thoughts beautiful dreams of why to when,such a dynamic set of musicians

I wish I could👐🏻
@@hendrik7781 The best memories of our wild youthful days....
Amazing 70s song. Glenn's delivery is excellent. His body language says "I got this". I love that

Aussie living in Germany...still loving this gem all these years later ❤🇦🇺💞🇩🇪
Love this song.Still sounds so good in 2024!
In the early 80s I was in Australia, listening to this on cassette player.. traveling around taking in the sites.. takes me back ✨💞
Best LRB line up right here,, awesome song and probably the greatest band to come out of Australia.
The lyrics are good but the music is something else, it feels monumental and like a watershed moment. Phenomenal 👍
Still a beautiful song in 2022
Love ❤️ my Aussie rock music 🎶 🎵 and my upbringing 70s andb80sv90s
Little River Band has to be one of my favorite all time bands! ❤
Incredible. Still listening to this great song 2021.
@Robyn, your so right! Music of the 60s & 70s will be loved for ever!!😘👍😉
Those songs never die. Such a sweet feeling.
Great memories from the 70s. Loved it ever since
Just a perfectly crafted song.
I love this song…a deeper cut from such a great band!

Love this... so peaceful and incredibly timeless
In my opinion this is up there with one of the best songs they wrote, melody and harmonies are simply outstanding.
Superb seventies classic rock!
Beatiful song the band Little River band
One of the greatest songs ever!
"Can you guess where I'm calling from?
The Las Vegas Hilton,
I know it's hard to hear,
it's just the echo on the line.
Yes, that's right I'm calling from
The Las Vegas Hilton,
I just want to say that I'm feeling fine.
I'll be home on a Monday,
somewhere around noon,
please don't be angry,
I'll be back with you real soon.
I was hoping to catch a glimpse,
of the man from Memphis,
they told me that he had gone,
never leaving a trace.
I just could never get involved
with those one-armed bandits,
sure am craving for the smile on your face.
I'll be home on a Monday,
somewhere around noon,
please don't angry,
I'll be back with you real soon, yeah.
You looked so lovely when I left I nearly didn't go,
twelve thousand miles is such a long way,
help me get to grips with Hollywood,
you're getting through to me,
Hollywood, you're in my movie.
I'll be home on a Monday,
somewhere around noon,
please don't be angry,
I'll be back with you real soon.
Can you guess where I'm calling from?
Yes, that's right I'm calling from
The Las Vegas Hilton".
Thank you ! My favourite LRB tune ... Killer vocals / great music
Right on Paradise Road I know it well.

Was a limo driver in Vegas, used to take people there. This song always came to mind.🇦🇺🦘
One of my all time favourite bands and i live 10 minutes down the highway from Little River
grouse place to live. magic.
The production here is absolutely stellar. Incredibly beautiful and magical song.
I just adore this song
I was born in '73. Incredible childhood memories with this song.
This song is just so incredibly tremendous.
THE MAN FROM MEMPHIS, AND LAS VEGAS....... YES THE KING ELVIS. GOOD SONG!
One of my favorite LRB songs. 🥰
Great band!

what are your other top songs?

Quite wonderful!
A great song!!
Surprised this isn't as well known as a lot of the other Little River Band songs - so melodic, love it
Beautiful tune full of lush strings and stunning harmonies. Back when life was carefree….❤️ I always wonder what Glenn Shorrock is thinking as he looks to the camera at the end of the clip. Timeless.
Beautiful melancholy love song. LRB came out with some really great songs.
Home On A Monday.
The story of touring Aussie bands from the Seekers to Sherbet, Aussie Crawl and of course the fabulous, best ever Little River Band.
Shorrock's singing was a big key
Really dig this song.. The intro in the guitar is awesome...
And the echo of those few lines "can you guess where I'm calling from ..." like a real long-distance phone call back in the day.
What a gorgeous sound, one that could have only come from LRB. We seldom hear orchestral strings in songs any more since keyboards and synths have pretty much taken over that role but it’s hard to duplicate that lush romantic sound. Stellar guitar work as well, that understated solo is so beautiful.
Quite right, as a guitarist I can tell you: it is brilliant, David Briggs so underrated, but no to me.
we have the best musos in the world
Summer camp song ..part of my wonder years!
Listened to this one several times before failing a MATHs exam in Yr11, classic times
Such a wonderful tune just love it
reminds me of my childhood.
Timeless gem.
Memories 😊❤
Too good!
beatiful song. Great si nger. Glen the band Little River band

Love how LRB is Austrlian OGs but..this has huge Americana 70s feel ❤
Where have all the Guitars gone from today's music?
Love this ❤
These guys predicted the future - everyone working from home because of COVID lockdown
Instantly back to the seventies❤
Reminds me of when I was in Vegas. :)
A very underrated band.
:) SOOO GOOOOOD !
Still a beautiful song in the year 3897 🚀

yes i think my older brother had their album from around that time.
Hate to date myself, but, we sat around the Shanty listening to LRB playing this round '78-'79.
top notch
❤️ Which Monday? Sometime in 2018? 2019?
the first album i bought when i was 14 years old i think for my mam her Birthday just by the cover i t tought looked funny She was so happy she loved this band 💜🙏
... And 2022 :).!
The simple fact that shadey managers and common criminals robbed the world of ever seeing this band play their songs as they were....a total criminal act.
🥰
Years ago I did make a call from the Las Vegas Hilton 😊
invokes emotions
or envokes.. no ?
@@poisondwarfnz3837 evokes😉

I love Seine City…from After Hours by Little River Band - the original
I once told someone I would be home on a munday but stopped off at the pub and didn't get back home till whensday she wasn't happy
🤣Onya ya legend. Did you have to beg for forgiveness or just say…. F$&# it.
Las Vegas Hilton RIP
The las Vegas hilton the most famous hotel ever
Any acoustic guitar tutorial somewhere? Anybody?
I always thought these guys were from the USA, I mean- listen to the lyrics!
crownretro Little River .... between Melbourne and Geelong on the Princess Highway. Glen Shorock, music Royalty.
aussie band
i think he is ringing home to australia from las vegas.
@@J_S209 I agree, Glenn created the band name from good ol' Little River near Geelong, he is a legend, The Twighlights weren't a bad little band either also Axiom another good band. How they lost the rights to the band name amazes me, only in America.
I don't think so. 01:59 "12,000 miles is such a long way" from Las Vegas. That's certainly not anywhere in the USA.
Ahhh, when men were men and sheep were scared…
Red snapper truck
Gotit...???
I kinda assumed this was their "big hit" -- it definitely gets radio play in these parts. But apparently it was never even a single in the US or the UK! Was it a late-breaking radio hit, or just a local scheduler idiosyncrasy?
nah, not their biggest hit - just their best song! ;-)
'Straya moite..
Didnt know that Heath Ledger used to sing
his eyes are similar aren't they.
Joe Rogan's dad?
They were an amazing band, the original members ARE The Little River Band, the American group aren't The Little River Band they're just a cheap copy, they didn't even write the hits.....
I always thought this was a Doobie Brothers song 🤔🥴
They sound & look different, is this a copycat band?
Wash your mouth out, crazy talk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Beautiful song
