The Little River Band. An Australian Band. Go, Aussie Aussie Aussie. It is soooo hard for any Band to make it in America. They made it. Thanks America.👍
"Cool Change" is another great Little River Band song. It's a great song to get lost into. I remember driving with my brother and that song came on, and when it ended he exclaimed, "Wow! That was such a great song."
I am so glad to finally find a respectful reactor that showcases the artist rather than snuffing it aside for ego-driven, often inane, commentary! You are a gem!
THE SUMMER OF 1978-----------THIS WAS ONE4 OF MY MOM'S FAVORITE SONGS. WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG, SHE & DAD USED TO DANCE TO THE BIG BANDS WHO MIGHT COME THROUGH DENVER, & THEIR FAVORITE WAS GLENN MILLER, & HIS ORCHESTRA & SINGERS. ------------MJL, 75 Y/O
This Song Is THE CLASS SONG for the Graduating Class of Tates Creek High School, Class of 1979. We Declared it upon our Commencement Ceremony that THIS would be the Permanent Theme to our Class Reunions. We might disagree on some issues, but This SONG Reunites and still has the same impact as it did when it first was played over AM Radio stations.
That song came out in 1978 - I had just retired from the USAF one year earlier. I loved this song. My son was 16 years old - he's now a grandfather! Wow. He just turned 60, so that makes me ancient - that's for sure. But I still love my Little River Band. They are old men now, also. :-) Love it.
In 78 you retired from the air force and I was just coming out of basic training at Lackland and was in tech school and training at Camp Bullis in the hills north of San Antonio ,this song was huge
I sit here listening to this classic, I remember thinking of my parents back then 40 plus years ago...reminiscing back when they dated...and today, I'm reminiscing when my wife and I met and first dated in 1979...
August 1978, Empire Stadium in Vancouver, Canada. An outdoor stadium, designed for football as well as perfect for track and field events. That day, the sun was hot and the day was long, filled with the music from a handful of different acts. The headliner, and last on stage, was local band Heart, still in their Led Zeppelin/Gypsy Roma stage. On stage before them was Little River Band. The sky was darkening and the stars were coming out. A warm breeze blew in from the Pacific Ocean and the lights on Grouse Mountain, across the harbour, lit the northern sky. On this night, before Heart owned the record number crowd of music fans, we were all blown away by the gorgeous four part harmonies of one of Australia's greatest Jazz Rock bands. LRB was incredible that night, and their music grasped our imaginations and primed us perfectly for what was to follow on the bill. It was still sad to see them leave the stage, but the memories of that night still linger and I can't help but find myself Reminiscing. Thank you, Angela, for bringing these memories back once more. Don't stop here with LRB, though. They've got a catalogue of great music to dive into. ♥
I adore this song, already dedicated to my girl every time I have the chance, 'cause the lyrics are quite powerful that the idea of being-in-love means.
Its 1978 I'm 21yrs young driving my gold 1978 Trans-Am over the Rickenbacker Causeway in Miami listening to Y-100 on FM radio and this song comes on. Nice driving down memory lane .
I used to watch a late night movie back in the days before cable and this song was used by a LOT of stations as their intro music. It always reminds me of watching the late night movie so many many years ago.
This has a big band feel to it (almost like the '40s.) Loved this back in the '70s. Glenn's voice is awesome. The backing vocals are fab as well. Great strings, horns, drums, guitar. One of my all-time favorites!
I watched an interesting interview on this song recently. The horn outro was done by a renowned Melbourne player of the time. He made this up on the fly, and the first take was used on the record. He did other takes in the studio, but the first, instinctive one was best. This is coming from a band that really honed their tracks to perfection too.
Little River Band I kind of took for granted and didn't think to much about at the time these songs came out. As time has gone on I appreciate them more and more. These songs are so well structured and more meaningful than I realized. The song Lady is another one I really like and, of course, Cool Change is great.
"Miller's band was better than before" referring to the Glenn MIller Orchestra from the 1940's. The phrase "night and day" refers to a big Miller Hit tune of the same name.
@@uncabuzz118 Thanks. I wasn''t aware of the connection between Night and Day and Glenn Miller. However the song does specifically refer to Night and Day as a "Porter tune". Was Miller's version the biggest commercial success?
Hi, Angela. LRB is yet another in a long line of groups whose songs take me back to the good ole days of my youth. Loved your reaction. Thanks for sharing. Stay healthy and safe 👍🏽 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Hey Angela, tomorrow is May 17, it's is 10 years ago tomorrow (or today), that Donna Summer passed. I was hoping that maybe you could to a reaction to one of her song that you haven't reacted to. Like Love Is in Control (Finger on the Trigger), The Woman In Me, Sometimes Like Butterflies, This Time I Know It's for Real, Love's About to Change My Heart.
Hey Angela Great reaction! You must have borrowed Marty Mcfly s Delorean This morning lol! If I had known I would have packed some bell bottom jeans and tie dye T shirts🤣🤣😎👍
I share the memory of this song with my HS Sweetheart. Something like 50 yrs or so ago… We are still friends… and love each other Dearly…Definitely listen to “Cool Change”
Just trying to help - no video or lyrics. I can send those separately. The Eagles have managed to block a LOT of content on YT. Anyway - here is the Lyin Eyes audio link: ua-cam.com/video/2dANDhfWU8g/v-deo.html
When I first heard this song growing up, I fell in love with it. I couldn't wait to get my hands on the single. Once I finally bought it, I think I wore out the grooves (now I'm showing my age...lol). In fact, I liked it so much, I created a comic strip based on the song. It was cheesy but it came out pretty good. Thanks for sharing.
Litte River Band is so good live. My fiance' and I saw them about 10 years ago, and they still sounded great! You couldn't tell if it was now or when the song came out. It was just a beautiful night full of great music! What a great choice. Brought back fun memories for me...thank you, Angela!
I just love ❤ this song...memories as a young adult! You have the BEST reaction channel because you listen have expressions galore and then react!! Keep on reactung. This old lady like it!!
A song that came out about the same time by The Kinks- come dancing. both songs are referencing to the by-gone era of "The Big Band" music, like Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, and a few others.
There is one thing you will always notice, within Australian bands, all the players sing. I love this song, and the production is wonderful, and the music amazing.
I really appreciate that you do some great songs, sometimes life and art and poetry fall through the cracks, but you always react beautifully to something interesting and different, thank you
Another gem from the era of soft rock: The Doobie Bros., Fleetwood Mac, Chicago, Kool & The Gang, Dan Fogelberg, Vanessa Williams, The Spinners, Hall & Oates,The Commodores (Lionel Richie), Al Stewart, Earth Wind & Fire -- many more besides. This is one of my favorites from The LRB -- aside from "Cool Change -- because, as you say, it is sooooo laid back and presents a story/topic that appeals to all ages. Too bad there's not an extended version because this is the kind of song I'd like to go on and on for awhile. And from that same era, listen to Italian-Canadian singer Gino Vanelli's hits Livin' Inside Myself, I Just Wanna' Stop, You Gotta' Move, Lady -- all cracked the American charts back then. Thanks, Angela! Keep these great old classic coming!
One of my favorite bands from the 70s. Also check out another great band from the 70s, Ambrosia. They had a lot of hits back then. A really good one is "How much I feel"
The Little River Band. An Australian Band. Go, Aussie Aussie Aussie. It is soooo hard for any Band to make it in America. They made it. Thanks America.👍
When you've got this much talent, no pond is too big!
"Cool Change" is another great Little River Band song. It's a great song to get lost into. I remember driving with my brother and that song came on, and when it ended he exclaimed, "Wow! That was such a great song."
nice suggestion, "Cool Change" is a good one...
@@hubrisnaut Agree. I think Angela would like Cool Change. And about sailing and being alone rather than about love.
Indeed Roy, the video of that song with the dolphins is awesome, the song ain't bad either...
Great song, so is Lady.
I am so glad to finally find a respectful reactor that showcases the artist rather than snuffing it aside for ego-driven, often inane, commentary! You are a gem!
Great song to sing as I drive to work😂

His voice is unmistakable and cool! Great going back to my golden days, thank you for keeping our memories alive❣️
it's funny when kids today say "why do older people dance like that?", and then they hear an old song, and start dancing like older people....

Brings back so many good memories. This was a hit in 1978. I would listen to this while getting ready for school.😁

vocal tone, production, musicianship, writing.. it has it all!
LRB was a great band. Another great song of theirs is "Lonesome Loser".
I adore this song, already dedicated to my girl every time I have the chance, 'cause the lyrics are quite powerful that the idea of being-in-love means.
What a beautiful song
I remember when LRB came to the US , every song was a hit.
Thanks for the videos!
Its 1978 I'm 21yrs young driving my gold 1978 Trans-Am over the Rickenbacker Causeway in Miami listening to Y-100 on FM radio and this song comes on. Nice driving down memory lane .
Who were you listening to, Footie?
“Magnet & Steel” by Walter Egan and “Three Time’s a Lady” by The Commodores are songs that were roughly contemporary with “Reminiscing.”
Lovely, lovely tune. Forever enjoying
Can't go wrong with Little River Band, great harmonies, and lots of hits to choose from!
Such a great band.Some of the best harmonies I’ve ever heard.
Saw them live about 8 years ago, awesome show, good song yeah 👍😎👍🎤🎸🎸🎸
Super smooth, super romantic.
This is the original and best era of this great band .shorrock vocals birtles gobles harmonys just perfect.
"Walking through the park and reminiscing.." Haven't heard this song in years
I used to watch a late night movie back in the days before cable and this song was used by a LOT of stations as their intro music. It always reminds me of watching the late night movie so many many years ago.
One of the romantic songs ever played .
Great Aussie band. Loved your reaction, especially the "do do do do" part.
This has a big band feel to it (almost like the '40s.) Loved this back in the '70s. Glenn's voice is awesome. The backing vocals are fab as well. Great strings, horns, drums, guitar. One of my all-time favorites!

How can you go wrong with a great tune from the 70s

These songs are so well structured and more meaningful than I realized. The song Lady is another one I really like and, of course, Cool Change is great.
I think "Lady" is my favorite song by them.
@@clayboutin400 Me too.
Little river Band !!! Also It's a Long Way There" "Lady' " Lonesome Loser" And "Happy Anniversary"
Days On The Road is a great tune too and the bass solo intro on the extended version is awesome!
Long way there is classic.
perfection on full display! no words!
Love this song!!!
Back in the day I used to love this song 😊
"Miller's band was better than before" referring to the Glenn MIller Orchestra from the 1940's. The phrase "night and day" refers to a big Miller Hit tune of the same name.
Glenn Miller died in a plane crash in Dec. 1944 flying from England to France to entertain the Allied troops. His body was never found.
night and day was referring to Cole Porter
@@nigel7719 Exactly. He sings, "...and the Porter tune..."
@@nigel7719 Cole Porter's "Night and Day" was part of Miller's repertoire of songs and featured on Glenn Miller's Masters of Jazz album.
@@uncabuzz118 Thanks. I wasn''t aware of the connection between Night and Day and Glenn Miller. However the song does specifically refer to Night and Day as a "Porter tune". Was Miller's version the biggest commercial success?
This is the music I loved through high school... Thanks for recognizing it again!
One of my favs by the Little River Band ...
🙏🏼 A song, Band, that will forever find refuge in my ❤️.
Hi, Angela. LRB is yet another in a long line of groups whose songs take me back to the good ole days of my youth. Loved your reaction. Thanks for sharing. Stay healthy and safe 👍🏽 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

@@michaelasay8587 Not in the USA. Just an ordinary Kiwi, here 😊

One of my favorites.So nice.So loving and romantic.What a production.
Love your taste in music.Its refreshing how you light up to good music.
I had the vinyl album when it was first released. Everything on it is great. This brings back memories of happier times.
Thank you so much for spending your time making all of our days better
Another childhood favorite. 🙏🏽✌🏽🌎🌍🌏♥️
Great group!! Loved listening to them as a kiddo in the 70s! Even as a teen and adult love to listen to their music
Include this in a top ten ever
Hey Angela Great reaction! You must have borrowed Marty Mcfly s Delorean This morning lol! If I had known I would have packed some bell bottom jeans and tie dye T shirts🤣🤣😎👍
I share the memory of this song with my HS Sweetheart. Something like 50 yrs or so ago… We are still friends… and love each other Dearly…Definitely listen to “Cool Change”
this song brings back some good memories
This is one of my Top 5 all time songs, with "Lyin Eyes" from the Eagles being Number One - undisputed.
If you haven't already, you should add "Lyin Eyes" to your react list. My opinion - the BEST song ever written - any format! Sure love your channel.
Just trying to help - no video or lyrics. I can send those separately. The Eagles have managed to block a LOT of content on YT. Anyway - here is the Lyin Eyes audio link: ua-cam.com/video/2dANDhfWU8g/v-deo.html
My favorite song by the LRB is "Night Owls"
smooth, up-beat big band vibes. gets ya in the mood.🙃☮️
Such a great song. Brings back many memories for me.
*Cool Change* by _Little River Band_
When I first heard this song growing up, I fell in love with it. I couldn't wait to get my hands on the single.

The original video is one of the great early videos ever made and stands the test of time. Great song too.
Little River Bands had like a dozen awesome hits in the late 1970s and 1980s. Their Greatest Hits album is a must have.
Little River Band's music is great driving music.
You have such a positive vibe about you. Really enjoy the channel.
A very WELL written Love song
I love this song !
Your reactions are very honest. Thank you
A song that came out about the same time by The Kinks- come dancing. both songs are referencing to the by-gone era of "The Big Band" music, like Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, and a few others.
"Cool Change" is one of their best.
Great song here in New Zealand grew up on
I love this Song!!!!💖🎶🔥
This song PUSHED Me to propose to My Wife of 38 years
i've always loved this band, sweet songs...
There is one thing you will always notice, within Australian bands, all the players sing. I love this song, and the production is wonderful, and the music amazing.
Not in the case of Little River band. Only Shorrock, Birtles, and Goble sang.
Frank said that this is the most romantic song ever sung.
No he didn't.
Asked my second wife to marry me to this song playing in the background waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay the heck back in 1980, good song.
And now you are divorced.
What a beautiful connect Song
"Lady", "Lonesome Loser", and "Cool Change" are some others to consider on this journey!
I really appreciate that you do some great songs, sometimes life and art and poetry fall through the cracks, but you always react beautifully to something interesting and different, thank you
One of my favorite songs of all time
Love LRB. They define cool and smooth. Harmonies are really great and their melodies always stick in your head.
Love the trumpet solo!!! Great song’
Flugelhorn
This song is so catchy I got the flu.
👍🏽🤣🤣
Smooooooooth!!!!!!
Good band 🌹💘🌹💐🧡💐
Smooth.
Stay with Little River band and listen to it’s a long way there , remastered version, you will be glad you did!!!
