      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.

      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.

And I don not hear the conga's that are clearly in the original recording (another sign you might be right). 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.

    I just rediscovered this song from my childhood..just hearing my parents play it in '78 and subconsciously storing it away. You might know the feeling...not recognizing a song by the band/title, but as soon as the groove begins or you hear a harmonious vocal, you're wisked back to the smell of something good cooking while playing with Matchbox cars on the kitchen floor. What a joy to rediscover this song/band.😊

    The song strikes me as a perfect studio production controlling the subtlety of all the parts, yet here they are doing it live just perfectly. It’s so good. As a song writer that is what you want to be able to produce. The guitar funk is just glorious, the break licks so complex, and the drumming just there in the background anchoring it so skilfully. I just love it all.

      Naive question maybe but where is the string section coming from? I guess they're playing and singing along with a string track?

    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.

    In the fall of 1978, I was taking a photography class at the Univ. of Alaska, Fairbanks. I was finishing my final projects which included several days in the darkroom developing & printing aurora pics I'd taken. This is one song which takes me back to that time period in my life , keeping me going for 13 hrs. a day over 5 days. Saw them about 3 years ago at a local casino as part of a tour that included 5 other bands. What a show! Thanks for posting.
