Glenn’s voice just smooth . Just perfect for those harmonies . Best vocal band ever . And with the state of main stream music no one will touch them !!!! Thank you Glenn !
I lived up the road from Glenns parents in Elizabeth ,Adelaide back in the 80's and always wondered if Glenn was there at his parents everytime I drove by...Great memories.
When Glenn left LRB it broke many people's hearts, including my own. I was a huge fan of John Farnham but the combination of musos that made up the band when Glenn sang with them was perfect, and I never went back to them. LRB was the fabric of my younger life and bridged pop, somehow, with classical music, and by that I mean music that the precise combination of the invention and placement of the sounds was quite seamless and the result was a bliss.
Just “happened” upon this … Glenn Shorrock, you were such a huge part of my teenage years … I lived up the road from the Burnside Town Hall where the Oxford Club held those dances. This is when I first heard “The Twilights” and had my world tipped on its head. The band had recently returned from London and were playing material by Jimi Henderix, the Beatles and other British bands. They were SO f*****g good! This is a great interview. Glenn starts tentatively and by the end is a lot more relaxed. I feel some empathy with him, having been fired from a couple of bands, but not quite at the same level! You can tell that the way he was “dumped” by LRB cut deep. It is a ruthless industry, and it IS an industry, a business, and where millions of $$$ are a part of it? Well, enough said. So, I was quite a close friend with Russell Johnson for a few years, who, in fact WAS an original founding member of Mississippi, the forerunner of LRB. I even played bass on “Day Job Song” … I WASN’T a great bass player and was intimidated totally by the recording studio environment, whereas Russell, Graham Goble and John Mower were veterans. Needless to say, I didn’t last. I had been a “ring in” via Russell. I consider him a friend and his passing saddened me, however, the two of us could sit and jam together on a couple of acoustic guitars for hours; it was telepathic. Quite something, and I’ve only ever had that connection with him, no one else. We brought out “something else” from each other. This was many years ago of course, but this interview has taken me right back there. So, apologies for the reminiscence … I’m in my mid-seventies now so, you know the saying, “old men fall into reminiscence”. Anywho, thanks for this interview.
Great interview of a unique musical talent, The harmonies created by Shorrock, Birtles and Goble , were dustictive, and made LRB a resounding success for so many years. It was great to learn the backstory behind his career. I have heard the Full Circle Album, and gotta say they still have an amazing sound while performing. I hope they can continue to treat us to their wonderful sound for years to come!
Thanks for this brilliant conversation. Glenn was really relaxed with you. It was great hearing a little more of his story. Such valuable Australian history.
These are such insightful musical history pieces. Thanks for interviewing and recording these great conversations. I’m a great fan of Glenn’s as a vocalist, song writer and entertainer. I also love to hear of these migrant stories and how music was a key factor in settling into a new country. And wow there must be something in the water in Elizabeth.
When Farnham replaced Shorrock in LRB, it was said that Gobles placed an X on the front of stage where the singer had to place himself and not deviate from. That would not have pleased Farnham either as, like Shorrock, they both liked to move around.
When I clicked on this video to watch Glenn the first thing I thought when I saw who the interviewer was "oh man I can't stand this guy", then I read this 😅
@@Tomassius100 Yes he talks like a patronizing teacher to grade 2. Why the editor thought it important to have his face on camera or let him waffle on is beyond me?
Yes, I felt the same way. I felt that Glenn was somewhat twitchy at the beginning also. Quite amazing how some people end up doing things that they really aren’t that good at. He has an unfortunate way of questioning, as if he’s interrogating. However, it was cool to hear from Glenn. Classic G Goble to try and control everyone and everything. “X marks the spot”! 😂
Very simple self improvement principles often missed. And I observed a trend. There is a difference between self development as against personal development.
It’s that Raymond J Bartholemeuz guy again. How can I take him serious? I don’t care who he interviews and pretends to be someone else. He needs to wear his hat because we all know him as Raymond J. Bartholemeuz. George Reeves was Superman and this guy is Raymond no matter who he now pretends to be. “I am an Island. I am an Isthmus”. Days by the Ocean Raymond J. Bartholomeuz 1986 In the steamy, sensual rivercave of my mind I stumble, I stagger, I stammer Like some crazy South Korean circus clown Lost, lonely, lifeless, laconically lazy Marooned, marooned I'm on a lagoon I am an island I am an isthmus I come from Bermuda I don't believe in Christmas look out oh sinister holy man look out oh righteous Bolshevik I care no longer for your petty problems I make my own decisions now Today I laugh, I joke, I chitter chatter chitter But tomorrow, tomorrow I go to Phillip Island

Glenn is truly an Aussie legend and was a great frontman for The Twilights, Axiom and The Little River Band.....
What a great discussion with an even greater man, Glenn.
I AGREE
Great interview of a unique musical talent, The
harmonies created by Shorrock, Birtles and
Goble , were dustictive, and made LRB a
resounding success for so many years.
It was great to learn the backstory behind
his career. I have heard the Full Circle
Album, and gotta say they still have an
amazing sound while performing. I hope they
can continue to treat us to their wonderful
sound for years to come!
Glenn, just like the other members of the real LRB are unique.
Nobody could replace the original LRB!
Shorro is a LEGEND.😌

09.50, I don't think i;m anything unique, I beg to differ Glenn, You are beyond unique sir
These interviews would be so much better if Nankervis was completely edited out.

@@Tomassius100 Yes he talks like a patronizing teacher to grade 2. Why the editor thought it important to have his face on camera or let him waffle on is beyond me?
yes, i agree he is not very good... but the artist's talks are

Glen is fantastic irrespective of the interviewers style.

“I am an Island. I am an Isthmus”.
Days by the Ocean
Raymond J. Bartholomeuz 1986
In the steamy, sensual rivercave of my mind
I stumble, I stagger, I stammer
Like some crazy South Korean circus clown
Lost, lonely, lifeless, laconically lazy
Marooned, marooned
I'm on a lagoon
I am an island
I am an isthmus
I come from Bermuda
I don't believe in Christmas
look out oh sinister holy man
look out oh righteous Bolshevik
I care no longer for your petty problems
I make my own decisions now
Today I laugh, I joke, I chitter chatter chitter
But tomorrow, tomorrow I go to Phillip Island
There's something creepy about the interviewer
