All of my friends used to gather at my friend, Weavers house and smoke pot and drink whiskey and beer and have fun watching MTV.When It was new.There all gone now and so Is MTV compared to how It was back then.. Damnit man now I feel like that Lonesome Loser..I miss my wonderful friends and I want my MTV
What an awesome comparison, would've never made that connect. Wish like heII LRB had hired an attorney back then, and had all the legal docs done up so that they each had part ownership of LRB, instead of NOBODY having ownership!! How annoying. Today if you see LRB Live, NONE of the guys in this video are part of the band...that is pure craziness!! Usually the Guitarist or Singer has control of a band, but not in this case. A good lesson to be learned...
God willing I will be seeing this band live in the beginning of 2024 at Harrah’s Cherokee casino and hotel. This will be one of my pleasures of life. Thank you Jesus for providing the money. I’m so grateful.
Save your money and go and see a real band rather than a poor American facsimile of what was one of the great AUSTRALIAN groups of all time. Wayne Nelson might think he is preserving Little River Band's legacy but true fans know exactly what he is doing.
I had the pleasure to get to know the band when I was working at Capitol Records in the mid to late 1970's. They had the best live harmonies of any band I ever heard. All really nice guys too.
The Hall is owned by a pretentious prick that doesn't even like Rock N Roll, and it is based on who pays the most money. That is why Rappers are in the hall but real Rock N Roll artists are kept out.
It was 1979. Headed to Navy Boot Camp Orlando Florida. Had to leave my girl behind. This song was at the top of the charts. Married her right after Boot Camp.
I am 64 years old now and had a collection of music from age 11 up until a devistating fire destroyed it in 2018, You could be in the mood for just about anything music wise and it was there. My heart hurts when I hear songs from my vast collection , can't replace over 50 years of collecting. Music was and is my passion. 😔
Thank goodness for UA-cam. Even though it cannot replace the many years that you put into collecting so many songs, at least it allows for you to still be able to hear those songs at any time if that's any consolation.
Yes, thank the Lord, we are able to listen to any song we desire, at a mere tap on a screen! MY Beloved 70's music that I thought was gone, is filling my life with happiness forever! 😘🤗🥰
I saw the “Little River Band” in June 2022. Wayne Nelson and a bunch of talented musicians gave a good show which I enjoyed. HOWEVER, if they’re being honest, they should call themselves the ultimate LRB tribute band 🤷🏽♂️
You got to go to Australia to see them in person; they’re singing as Shorrock, Goble and Birtles. Thanks to some legal hanky panky, Wayne Nelson owns the Little River Band trademark. It sucks. I don’t like it, but there it is.
I remember buying that cassette with the girl on the cover, and popping it into the tape player of my 1969 Mustang convertible, 302/4 spd stick......that thing would HAUL A## -from 70mph Anyway, back to my LRB story. I'm on the MASS-PIKE 90 heading East for my afternoon classes in Boston. Back then they had a Toll Booth, so you'd have to slow down, throw in your change, then stab the gas. So everyday I'd throw in two quarters, then be reaching for 2nd gear just as the song hit 1:02 ............ Still gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. That was the first year I fell in love...Prettiest girl I've ever seen...Pretty sure she loved my taste in music and Pop Culture .)
I remember listening to the Little River Band when I was growing and to this day, I still listen to them and all of their classic hit songs. I can not wait for them to keep making more albums for now on!!! Keep the great music coming LIttle River Band!!!!
They've had 3 great guitarists through their hit years -- Ric Formosa, David Briggs and Stephen Housden. It was Briggs who wrote this tune but he was not an original member.
I remember buying this as a 45rpm record because I Absolutely Loved This Song To Death because that’s how I kind of felt as a pre-teenager growing up in grammar school and I took the record to the basement of our house and played it a few times and Still Love This Song All these Years Later ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Don’t Remember we’re that 45rpm ever went to (Lost in Time). This Band had quite a few Great Hit Songs and I Wish I Would Have Seen Them in Concert back in the day !!!
In those days music truly had rhythm, melody and harmony!! The new generation just thinks beat, beat , beat !!! I commend parents who literally play this music to their young ones , hopefully teaching them what "real" music truly is!!!
Another of those songs that I remember singing all the time back in the day but now I’m ancient and haven’t heard it in decades!! I had that radio on every minute I could steal 😊
He was the Michael Anthony of the Little River Band he put that top falsetto Harmony on all these harmonies and he was sort of the cherry on top of Glenn's raspy bluesy voice they sounded so damn good together it just gives you goosebumps every time you hear them together miss them so much wish they would have never had a falling out and stay together a bit longer we could have got so much more out of them but I'm grateful for what's here!
There will never be another band like this to create great, tasteful music in the same way these guys did!! So much musical talent, and songwriting gifts in this band, that it can never be topped.
When I enjoy LRB the first track is this work of art! My recently departed older brother Michael A. Orosz introduced me at 12 yrs old. When remodeling our home in San Diego with our father Michael would crank this up on his stereo in his room and direct the loudspeakers into our neighborhood as we both worked. Our friendly neighbors enjoyed All of the wonderful sounds, he really turned it up. Thank you Michael with fond memories as young men together as brothers forever.❤

Love the little river band.❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
😤💨💨💨💨💨
I am with you
😢
Hope they were ready to meet the Lord before they passed.
Even Glen Frey said " Forget the Eagles, the little River Band have the greatest Harmonies in music "
Glen was right. I saw LRB live in an outdoor concert at the Ohio State Fair in the 80s. I have NEVER heard any other band sound that good live.
These guys were the EAGLES of Australia......Harmonies, Musicianship, GREAT LIVE BAND< I've seen them BOTH!
The band members of The Eagles hated one another. There are lots of dark behind the scenes stories about The Eagles.
They were the band that the Beach Boys wanted to be in the 70’s.

it's all about you and your pointless trivia that has nothing to do with his comment
Loved this band! I'm 74 and still like them. A little smoke is always welcome
Oh the good old days when we had great music, miss those days.
This really takes me back to when life was easier, and the music was amazing!! ❤
Yes it does
WORD ❤️🩹 ❤️🩹 ❤️🩹
Yes!! Before the world went insane😊
Wow your so right
It's because we were all much younger.
Always a pleasure to hear the REAL Little River Band.

Enjoy it for me too, ok?👍🏻🎶🌞💃🏻🙏🏻
At least Men at Work have one original member.
Hope you had a great time! 😊

Does anyone ever think that our society was just happier and content because our music back then was just so damn good?
Just sayin.......😎😎😎😎😎🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
They should be in rock hall of fame period they still rock today best harmony ever them and BGees
The Hall is owned by a pretentious prick that doesn't even like Rock N Roll, and it is based on who pays the most money. That is why Rappers are in the hall but real Rock N Roll artists are kept out.
They're great.... Best? Plenty are on their level....
Yes
Moody Blues
Beatles
Crosby Stills and Nash
Beach Boys
and more.
I’m 54 and I’m the lonesome loser I actually believe this
They had so much fun playing their music. Fun to watch!
Often immitated never dupicated. Legends right here.
Full package, great lead singer, great harmony, great playing, and great producing!
I was 21 in 81, i loved this song. I want my youth back lol
13 in 81, me too.
That’s always the ultimate betrayal. We never know how precious our youth is until after we’ve lost it.
Yes sir, me too. FW, Texas.
I was 21 in 81 to...I THINK IT WAS MUCH BETTER THEN... Congratulations to the both of us, for making it this far...👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸❤️
I was 21 in 1981 too. Still love this song and everything from LRB.
It was 1979. Headed to Navy Boot Camp Orlando Florida. Had to leave my girl behind. This song was at the top of the charts. Married her right after Boot Camp.
AWESOME story 👍🏻
These guys man can sing . what harmony. Damn fine band should get more credit..top notch guys .
They are all sooo talented!
One of the best harmonious band ever
I love how they harmonize. What a great sound.
This band is awesome
Glenn Shorrock has a beautiful voice ❤
I wish I could sing like that but I couldn't carry a tune if it had a handle.
LRB .. 1979 Tulsa Assembly Center.. Pure Praire League backed em up when Vince Gill was a longhair! priceless music!
Put them in the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME!! KICK RAP OUT AND ANYTHING CLOSE TO IT!
I second that!! Rap is CRAP not music!!
They made such beautiful music! Loved it then, and still do!
Really glad you guys are posting these lost gems and claiming your legacy. I listen to LRB daily. Your music is timeless.
I listen Daily several times also. Nothing beats LRB
Why oh why don't kids today realize this Is real music.?
All the songs tell you a story
I'm 70 years old and I remember when this band came out. I owned several copies of their music! Solid music. Under rated band!
A song with a bridge....and harmonies in the bridge.....can someone starting doing toons like this again. Love it!
Glenn Shorrock has a great voice.
I have this on LP..it's now 2023 and I'm 61..just love them..⚘⛦⛧⛧⛧⛦⚘ from New Zealand.x

Now it genuine polycarbonate plastic.
If I was on a deserted island and had to have 2 albums, one would be The Little River Band & Steely Dan. These happy sounding songs just do it for me!
Right there with ya. Which SD album would you choose?
This is what i grew up with . You gotta love it .
Glen Shorrock had one of the strongest clearest voices ever. I always stop to listen to them. ❤️
Great writers, great singers, great performers. Good stuff.
The original members like Glenn Shorrock, Gresham Goble, Beeb Birtles and Derek Pellicci are the Little River Band
4 potential lead singers in this great band.
Pure talent! No auto-tune! Wish I could see these guys in person!!

@@stormferdidatter370 Don't think their promotion as "the L.R.B." is appreciated by the other foundation members at all.
@@stormferdidatter370 They are a very poor tribute band & their marketing is dishonest.

This is a lip-synced performance. This is the studio version of the song.
great song
I love them. Great song.
What a great song! Very underrated. Music was great back then.
I used to hear their songs all the time on the radio when I was a kid in the 70s, never knew whom they were. Really great band.
One of the greatest bands that was ever produced.
That was great!
One of my favorite bands.
I listened to this song many times in the 90’s as a 20-something when relationships wouldn’t work out…wondering if I would ever find a wife
I love love this song and love Little River Band ❤
What great band. 🇺🇸👍
Great song of my Youth. It took me years, Decades even, to realize the Song was about Me and My Life.......
Love the harmonies.
Great oldie! Those guys were having fun
They just don’t produce music like they did in the ‘70s and ‘80s ❤
these guys all had talent. no autotune crap for them.
Great band and voices.
I have been a fan of the Little River Band my whole life and enjoy watching the videos.
Great band
The harmonies just don't get any better, what a band
One gem 💎 of a song, never gets old ✨
I remember late July 1979 this song playing everyday on our local am radio 📻 station.
Your music brings back so many memories. Love Love Love it!
Great Music, Great Memories
Excellent song.
This is it the song l made my kids listen to. Because they needed to hear, now here l am 40yrs later l needed to hear these words.
This should be Charlie Brown’s theme song 🎶
Or the current administration's theme song😅
This song and Cool Change: amazing 👍😁🌟
My family had moved to Australia and lived there from 74-78. Used to listen to these guys and Skyhook. This really brings me back. Love it!
They were great.
The classic line-up.
This iteration of LRB is as good as any but the classic lineup (as it's nowadays called) had a different bassist and lead guitarist.
Love this song, it brings back some good memories ❤️
BOY ! THAT'S WHEN ROCK N ROLL REALLY SPOKE
TOO YOU ! WHAT A FINE GROUP , SERIOUSLY ! ! ❤

The "real" L.R.Band" doesn't exist any more.
This band is LONG gone, the band that play as LRB isn't any original members.
Yes I agree I'm a Aussie they wrote the songs they are the best ❤
The best band ever old but gold.
I STILL love listening to their songs!!!
I still have their vinyl albums....they just don't make music like this anymore! Love it!!!
Extremely underrated band. They had the songs ((lots of them)with amazing vocals & harmonies and catchy melodies that somehow got lost over the years.
Their original lead guitarist riffs are amazing. He did such great playing in these tunes.
They've had 3 great guitarists through their hit years -- Ric Formosa, David Briggs and Stephen Housden. It was Briggs who wrote this tune but he was not an original member.
i will never forget this great song,i was eight years old when it was released on the radio😀😀.
Love ❤️ This Song 🎶. You Can Not Beat These Oldies, LOVE ❤️ THEM
omg!...this song brings back so many memories...lol!...this was my song!...LRB will always hold a special place in my heart!
That was a jam back in the day 🤠
Awesome¡!!!!
¡Mama mía! What a lyric.... Lonesome... Listening since 1987=== beaten by the Queen of Hearts every.....

Always perfect.

I love Glen’s singing voice. And harmonies? Holy crap
Bad bad bassplayer man
Now that was entertaining and a classic 😎
I love hearing this song played in my local pharmacy! The Cuevo Gold, the fine Colombian…….
