Reaction starts around 8 minutes in. We had to share the news about Ty before our usual intro. Happy New Year! 🎉
Little River Band "It's a Long Way There" you gotta do the studio extended version. You're welcome in advance. 😎✌ Happy New Year 🎶
Happy new year out to the gang and all the people 3 hours ahead of us!!
I'm glad to see you again, Ty. Congrats on the good job. Any certain parts of NC you frequent?
Yay this is a great band! I listen to their greatest hits all the time!!! 🎉 You are all smiles from the beginning! I love Southern Nights!!!! ❤❤❤ When they say "Miller's band was better than before." Then the horns come in (they are talking about Glen Miller's band). He has a great voice. Their harmonies are great Shows more in their other songs... Reminds me of my grandma's house so must have heard it there when I was a kid. I am a sucker for bands with a horn section. Guess what bands I like... I am surprised you have not heard that - that plays a lot!!! I did a karaoke duet of Lonesome Loser (one of their songs) with a friend once. Glad to see you in the video, Ty. Happy New Year all and many blessings in 2024!
Very cool song!
I think it was Glenn Frey that once said that this is the only band whose harmonies The Eagles were jealous of. That is quite a compliment right there.
That and John Lennon liked it it was my mother's favorite song too I think about her when I hear it
When Eagles and Little River Band toured together, each of the bands would stand outside the other's green room and listen to them warm up and say "Now that's how it's done!" Great mutual respect! Glenn Frey toured with LRB during his solo stretch too!
I’ve heard a comparison of this song to a Steely Dan if they weren’t so jaded. I’m not sure many people rival the harmonies of Steely Dan. As they say, Steely Dan is your favorite band’s favorite band.
"Cool Change" is my favorite. I catch my husband singing "Lonesome Loser" a lot around the house. I can't imagine anyone not liking this band.
that's my favorite as well
cool change is fantastic.
Love him more.
You can't go wrong with any of Little River Band's songs. One of my very favorite bands from my teenage years. Their songs stand the test of time.
Would love to hear your reaction to Little River Band - it's a long way there. What a masterpiece of music talent. Love the best music ever between 60s -80s. Will probably never hear this type of music & talent again at least in how it was played w/o a lot of computer enhancements. Just pure talent! Love your music reactions & for sharing the oldies. Priceless! 🙂 Makes my day! ❤
So right - if you haven’t already check out Little Ray Of Sunshine - Glenn recorded it with Axiom before he joined LRB. Written by Brian Cadd, I think. Great song
The Little River Band is a *sleeper.* They had such funky, jazzy, yet folksy feel to it.
Little River Band's harmonies don't take a backseat to anyone else.
They have so many great songs. Glad you all really liked them. Hope you do "Lonesome Loser" next.
Yes! That's a great one, too!
I always forget that is their song. Love that one too!
THE ONE SONG I WISH WOULD NEVER END...especially at the end where the trumpet picks up and literally dances you out the door - you and the one you love. ❤😊
Flugelhorn
You have got to check out “It’s A Long Way There” from 1975! Mind blower!
This is one of my favorite songs ever. I LOVE Little River Band. Great reaction. Good to see Tyler on the set.
Same here!
What a pleasure it is to see the younger generation appreciate the amazing music that I grew up listening to that played on the radio daily. Great reaction guys.. 💯👏👍
They were a rare act. Always brimming with creativity. No one song is like another. "Cool Change" , "It's Not A Wonder", "Lady" to "It's A Long Way There" - crazy range. Very, very special band. We were so damn lucky to grow up with music like this.
This was played on the R&B radio in Savannah, GA when it came out. Beautiful song.
Great Song by LRB. You should review their very first hit off their first Album. "It's a Long Way There".
Cool Change
Some other songs from LRB to hit are "Lonesome Loser", "Take It Easy On Me", "Lady", "Man On Your Mind", "Cool Change".
Very correct selections. You have a head on your shoulders.
Guys, please check out another insanely talented Canadian band that is criminally underrated. Big Wreck. Either " That Song" or The Oaf" are fire!
I'm an Aussie and have loved them for so long
Fades out during the trumpet solo... Wicked good. These guys are real songwriters and musicians...
Flugelhorn
It’s A Long Way There is THE masterpiece from these guys. They’ve rarely recorded a dud but to go back in the catalogue and listen to It’s A Long Way There is just an amazing experience
I disagree. Overall, this song is by far their best.
@@jessieball6195 The best of the rest. It's a Long Way There actually is a masterpiece.
@@floydster23The extended version
Yessiree--it was great to see THREE heads boppin' along together again!
“Lonesome Loser” and “Cool Change” are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
A song about a couple who met in the 1940's with "Glen Miller's Band" of course reminiscing of that night.
I enjoy how they use Big Band vocal harmonies as well as horns. More throwback than most people notice unless they are old as dirt as I am. LOL Pretty song and a big hit. Listen to some Glen Miller Orchestra. I believe that harmony "Night and Day" is a reference to the song of the same name which is a fire song in its own right. Glen Miller had a big hit with it. Sinatra kills it too.
Love this song. I feel 19 again listening to this. The 70s ruled. The music, the parties, the dope, the vibe, everything.
Radio was alive....& A treasure trove of the singer-songwriter genre
The bobble head crew🙂👍😆😆🇭🇲🦘
Growing up in the 70’s was the best - so much diverse music.
It's A Long Way There (extended version). This song shows them at their best
That was going to be my comment.
LRB is the kind of band with timeless music that can put you in a better mood no matter what kind of day you have had...
Wow! Great reaction!!! Keep it up. Okay, my favorite...is another radio hit by these guys, but does not get the love that it deserves.
Off cam...please check out their tune 'Happy Anniversary'. It is all about the bass and rocks. 'like totally, man!' We subscribed
Happy Anniversary is my favorite. The bass kicks ass!!
Great review guys....as we say here in NZ...o for owesome 😊
😂 The 3 Amigos are back 👏👏👏
I was 7 or 8 when this song came out -- this is the kind of stuff I grew up on. And people wonder why my generation rags so much on today's music. There's just no comparison.
LRB is a rabbit hole you need to go down. The album version of it's a long way there will blow your minds!!!
Bobby Caldwell , what you won’t do for love , fire. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bobby
@@Coowallsky I know , I was thinking of someone else and put the wrong first name. I had 2 people in mind. But this is who I want them to react too.
"Lady" is awesome as well!
YES! Love them! I still have their Greatest Hits Cassette..Cool Change is my favorite! Talk about smooth!
England Dan and John Ford Coley is another group that helped shape my musical interests. "I'd really love to see you tonight"
Welcome back Ty. Isn’t this a good time too for some more Toto! 😁
Glenn Shorrock’s voice is literally Kerrygold. LRB has so many great yacht-rock songs. As much as I love hard rock, I am a sucker for this band. And they can ALL sing. I think Take It Easy On Me is a great one because it gives you a taste of the talent that runs through the band. Wayne Nelson has a fantastic solo part in that one. But you can just close your eyes and point to one of their songs and chances are it will be fantastic. I don’t think you could have chosen a better final song for 2023. Happy New Year, Nick, Ty and Ryan.
I’ve always got little river band loaded up and ready to go, got 6 disc’s ready right now
“Lady” is probably my favorite from these guys.
Glen Shorrock has such a great voice, and LRB has so many wonderful songs! Try Cool Change, Lonesome Loser and Lady. They are ALL fantastic!
Guys, if you love this you have to listen to POCO "Heart of the night" it will be right there with this one 💯
Reminiscing, John Lennons favorite song and one of my ten best ever, headphones candy.
True professional musicians right here....trumpet outro is sweet
Flugelhorn
If you listen to the line “That’s the way it began, we were hand in hand, Glenn Miller band was better than before”, it is a reference to the Glenn Miller Band - a swing band from the 1930s-40s and they were wildly popular with songs like “In the mood”, “String of pearls” and “Pennsylvania 6-5000”. The saxophone riff right after this line is an homage to that sound.
A String of Pearls
Cool, smooth, sophisticated, vibe..
. Always loved this.... Puts you somewhere like the best ones always do......
They have some absolute pearlers. Lady. It's A Long Way There.
The quality of it all it’s one of the best songs ever produced
Pure
Pop
Perfection
Aussie in Thailand here. My British friend runs a live music pub in Bangkok - he was a teacher of fine musicians in the UK I gave him LRB Best of CD years ago and he played it everyday for 9 months at least.
Well! That song, Reminiscing, is soft rock but explosively emotional and happy.
Love this dong. Time for It's a long way there (remastered) it's a masterpiece!
My boy back in town ! Love u son ! Proud of you
That's funny you made that similarity, Like every time I hear John Mellencamp's song,Hand to hold on too....In my mind it turns into his song Hurt so good! Lots of songs use similar notes.
Great song. Great band. One of my favorites. I enjoy watching you guys discover the music that I discovered years ago. If you enjoyed the vibe of that song, then you'll enjoy their song cool change, especially if you're drawn to the serenity of being on the water. The video is kinda cheesy, but the song is amazing.
Lady, Take It Easy On Me, Night Owls, and The Other Guy with John Farnham
One of the most romantic pop songs ever. Came out when I was just about ready to turn 13 y/o and love it as much now as I did then . Great pick ❤
Good seeing Ty back again. You guys are the best.
The REAL Little River Band too! No fakes!.
Yes, I made the mistake of seeing the fake band that is touring now. I can’t express my level of disappointment.
Real music and musicians!!
My top three favorite bands of all time.
Guys it sounds like the LRB and Reminiscing ! Period 1978 the year I met my wife….
And I just realized they were an Australian band
I really love watching you guys that are younger than me and a whole bunch of the other reaction channels, discovering music, the way it used to be without the computers without the auto tune, and just people with incredibly good songwriting incredibly good musical arrangement, and incredibly good engineers, putting it all together so much effort used to go into it in Music today has become disposable because technology has just made it to EZ. It’s so fun to watch people like you guys react to the stuff as you’re discovering it. It seems like music has lost some of that magic because of technology. We’ve traded the soul of music for the convenience of it.
Toto's Georgy Porgy is so smooth and fire...please react
Southern nights from Glenn Campbell came first in 1977
Could you imagine being alive and hearing this song on the radio and Baker Street and year of the cat and some Boz Skaggs lowdown and so many more ! What a great time to be alive.. brings back memories
Glade to see you back Ty!!! They have some real great songs!!
Cool Change
Lonesome Loser
Lady Take It Easy On Me
The Night Owls🦉
🎉❤😊😊
Definitely Night Owls.
It's a Long Way There is their masterpiece.
Yacht Rock at its finest!
Glad to see you Ty!
I am an aussie we are so proud of our band, they have so many great hits, so great!
My favorite song!
Hey Ty, miss you man 🙏👍
I've heard Ryan reference Hall & Oates' "Sara Smile" several times since their reaction video. It seems he'd really like Hall & Oates' "Rich Girl" too when they get back around to those guys, if they haven't heard it.
Everybody got stank face with this one😂
I was lucky to get notes off the guy who played flugelhorn on this track .. Changed my veiw of music.
The very definition of a an all time Classic! We grew up with this music! 🙀
all my life This Song gaves Me giggles
I was wonderin' if Ty would be back in town for the holidays...and--from the photo--it looks like that's the case! Looking forward to tonight's reaction; if we were placing bets, I'd say this song will end up on all of your playlists.
Sleeper Catcher is a solid album with Lady as another great track.
My favorite 3 guys😊
I had Sleeper Catcher when I was in High School. Great album, great band. Their production was faultless.
This one and LADY are my favorites by LRB !
Good to see ya, Ty. Happy New Year, gentlemen!
13 year old me blasting this on my Walkman all summer long of 1982. My early teens was pure "eclectic" because our only English speaking FM radio station was the Armed Forces Network and the music, outside of Casey Kasem's Top 40 every Sunday afternoon changed genre's hourly.
This song has been in my life since I purchased this album that summer and will remain until my dying breath...
Ty is back… whoooo hoooo
It's been said that Frank Sinatra called Reminiscing "the best song written in the 1970's. He's also reported to have said he didn't cover it because he couldn't do the lead vocal justice. It's also true that John Lennon said Reminiscing was he and Yoko's favorite.
" It's also true that John Lennon said Reminiscing was he and Yoko's favorite." That is not true. It was May Pang that said it was her and John's favorite song during their 18-month fling however the dates don't jibe wih her story.
It's a Long Way There is their greatest all rounder, if you appreciate great musicians and singers it has it all a true Masterpiece. Cheers
There was never a more perfect song than this right here ✌️
LRB is one of my favorites. Its a long way there is a masterpiece.
I would also recommend the band firefall , strange way or just remember I love you.
I love these guys. The Night Owls, Cool Change, Lady, The Other Guy, Help is on the Way, Lonesome Loser... So many.
HELP IS ON THE WAY!!!
So happy to see Ty back!
Nice to see ya'll back together! 😊
I thought for sure one of you would have heard this one as it was huge.. and good pull on the “Southern Nights” reference
Its a Long Way There from them is amazing try the album version Its special
Hell yeah, the guitar, the vocals, it's got it all in spades.
Yes!!
Yes! Definitely need to hear the album version - it’s just a great song!
I think part of the reason why you guys also loved the song is all three of you are so happy to be hanging out again.
Every decade of the modern era of music since the 20s is incredible and has its own unique qualities to add to it's history. But as far as I'm concerned, the late 60s to the early 90s is the greatest span in the history of music that I've ever heard.
This will be on your "fire... as usual" list. It fits all of your criteria.
Impressed you recognized the Southern Nights lick.
