It was my first time in such a personable atmosphere. We attended all three nights they were here and still wanted to hear more. They sounded FANTASTIC!!! They were really in sync, and it shined in their performance. Zena (Warrior Princess) and myself were lucky enough to hang out with the guys after the shows. What a great group of gentlemen. We are anticipating their return to St. Louis. They put on a great show. Again, Thank You to the band and the crew for a most memorable weekend. YOU GO BOYS!!! Keep it up. Best Wishes!!!! |

I managed to make just about every Missouri LRB show last year as a guest of theirs. My friend Michelle and I managed to make 5 of the 6 shows at the Alton Belle Casino this past weekend. What an incredible performance!! As I said, I was around all of the guys last year, Peter, Tony, Derek, etc. and the shows were very good. But the shows this year were so much different! The energy and the excitement that they all expressed with each other and the audience was amazing! Their sound goes right through you! Even after the shows, we all went out each night, to a few local clubs, and their camaraderie was as evident off stage as it was on stage. I have never been around a more pleasant, sincere and just downright fun bunch of people in my life.(That's where the nickname Zena came from) I appreciate them and their music more now than ever and I feel it a priviledge to say that I know these guys. If you get any chance whatsoever, go to their show!! Their music brought back so many fond memories of when I was growing up. I felt like I was smiling not only on the outside, but on the inside as well. I wish them all, nothing but the best of luck throughout the remainder of this tour and continued success!. |

We've know various members of LRB for 15 years, and have been "up-close and personal" for about 3 years. We saw them for the first time this tour at the Alton Belle Casino last night for both shows. Since we brought them to the show after our 2nd annual LRB BBQ at our house, we were able to go in with them through the employee entrance and were allowed to stay for both shows. This was the second time in my life that this band has brought a tear to my eye. That sound is incredible!! That sound is LRB! Though there have been many changes and struggles in the band over the past 20 years, each line-up has managed to keep LRB in our hearts and they have managed to keep the band going strong for over 20 years. But this line-up ... this is the LRB we all remember. That sound; that 5-part harmony; that energy; this is the platinum, chart-topping LRB. And these guys; what can I say about these guys? This is the best-connected group LRB has ever had and it shows. They have fun and they are there for you. I don't know how else to convince you, but you must do everything you can, make any sacrifice you have to make, but you go to one of their shows. I guarantee - you will not be disappointed; and after you do see them this year, I'll bet you make every effort to find a way to see them again on this tour! And please, after you do see them, take a moment to put your comments in here. Let's let LRB know we're there for them too, and will be for years to come! |

I'm 9 years old and I went to the Rockville, MD Hometown Holidays with my mom and dad yesterday. We saw LITTLE RIVER BAND, and they were awesome!!! I've always heard my parents playing the greatest hits C.D. and learned the words to the songs. I sat in the front row with my parents, and I even got to go behind the fence thanks to the nice lady with LITTLE RIVER BAND. I wish I could have found her again to thank her. I was able to stand with Steve Wade and the other members of the band whiel they signed autographs for people. Then they signed an autograph for me and even asked how to spell my name. They were the greatest! We love your music and you made me feel so special!!! I still feel like I'm walking on a cloud because you took the time with me. Thank you, I will never forget yesterday!!!

We loved the concert at our local Contraband Days 97' and then followed you to Biloxi, MS where we were able to meet and take pictures with some of the band members. That was a very memorable concert and we are still talking about it! Please continue to visit our area and if possible stop in for a bowl of GUMBO. Your friends, Stephen & Debbie |

Name: Richard Cuccia Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In From: New Orleans, Louisiana Time: 1998-05-22 06:43:27 Comments: LRB at Boomtown Casino, New Orleans, 5/20/98. Astoundingly good. Great, great, great. It's hard to describe how much we enjoyed the show. We were outside for the first five songs of LRB's 1st show, weate dinner, and we were third row center for the 2nd show. Here is a listing of the 2nd show's songs with 1st show only song noted: It's A Long Way There, Man On Your Mind, Lonesome Loser, Love Is A Bridge (1st show only), Take It Easy On Me, Reminiscing, Acoustic Medley (About one or two verses per song): 1. Down On The Border, 2. Home On Monday, 3. Statue Of Liberty, 4. We Two, 5. The Other Guy, 6. Playing To Win;
We found the acoustic medley to be a real treat. The audience was wildly and deeply into the show. Many in the audience sang along with each song, me included. In fact, in a break near the end of Cool Change, the audience cheered, hollered, and went wild causing the band to stop the song and take pleasant notice. This interlude was something that one would not expect near the end of a ballad. What can we say. The surperlatives would be redundant. All we can say is - Go see LRB. If you don't enjoy an LRB concert, you don't like good music or you're dead. Concerts don't get better than LRB. |

I like every line-up of the band. I've been lucky enough to find some of the solo stuff and Birltes & Goble as well! When I was in Kansas City in February, I noticed that music exchange had some Mississippi stuff and a compilation of Birltes, Goble and Shorrock pre-LRB stuff. I'm excited about the Owensboro, Kentucky show on Saturday, May 23. That venue is my favorite of all time. Really comfortable, not a bar, laid back security. After every show that I've ever been to there, I've hung out in the show room for an hour or more hanging out with the band. I saw LRB there in '95. They did 2 shows that night and I went to them both. I notice that there are a lot of people from St. Louis in the guest book and Owensboro is just a couple of hours east on I-64, so I hope to see a lot of you there. There don't seem to be many LRB die-hards here in the Louisville area, unfortunately. We ought to get an LRB mailing list going. I'm on Kansas and Shooting Star mailing lists and it's a great way to keep in touch with other fans. As for the new LRB line-up, I have mixed feelings about it. It's a real shame that it has no one from "Sleeper" through "Exposure." Still, I think that it's qutie possible that these guys can keep going on in the tradition of LRB and create great melodic rock music for the 21st century. So if it's up to the quality, I think that it's legitimate to still use the group name. Just 50 days 'til Owensboro! |

However, are you aware that Eric Clapton will have a concert at the New Orleans Superdome on 5/20/98? I suspect that attendance at your Boomers concerts may suffer if both concert dates remain 5/20/98. Maybe your Boomers concert date might be switched to a less conflicting date. Let me know.

I was a bit disturbed by the new bassist and the onstage tension he seemed to create. Being a player, I can understand how difficult it would be to fill the shoes of the departed Wayne Nelson, but I think someone with greater stage experience would have been a wiser choice. Anyway, STILL enjoyed the show, and I hope the band comes back to Portland three or four times a year! |

They visited San Juan about one or two years ago with all the band. It was really something to see an hear this super-band Live.I have all their individual albums plus all of Graham Goble and Stephen Housden, and Glen Shorrock solo's , wich are very good also.The harmonies this group shoots are so incredible that I even feel content when I hear them after one of those hectic days at my office. LRB has made my life much easier in a lots of aspects. The song that defines my being is Cool Change ; and for me, the albatros and the whale are really my brothers. |

That record was LRB greatest hits Volume 2. I've been hooked ever since.

Name: Bram van Steenbergen Website: Referred by: Word of Mouth From: Huntington Beach,California Time: 1998-02-06 16:22:06 Comments: In 1975 I went to see The Hollies. The LRB was their supporting act and I was a little iiritated to have to sit through that part of the show. Six guys walked up stage I had never heard of and they opened with It's a long way there. Slowly but steady I started sliding under my chair. What I was hearing, was the best close harmony I've ever heard. A musician myself, I was also very much impressed with the balance of the sound, the well choosen double leads. In other words, incredible. I played many venues myself while I was still living in Europe and even-though I like a lot of Bands, I found myself almost embarrased to say, I HAVE to see the concerts of The LITTLE RIVER BAND and Have to Have all their recordings. The are the most under estimated and best close harmony rock and roll Banl I have ever heard. Eagles and Crosby Stills and Nash (I love them dearly) can NOT stand in the shadow of what the LITTLE RIVER BAND puts out. It's so sad to see that it seems impossible to keep the Band together. But I guess that is what happens when you put 6 highly talented people together in one Band. I hope that they will do what The Shadows did and reform and hit the road for 3 months every year to play for all the fans all over the world. |

Name: Richard B. Hodges Website: Referred by: Net Search From: Blair, South Carolina Time: 1998-01-27 02:03:08 Comments: I've just "discovered" the LITTLE RIVER BAND! What a wonderful musical group. I was listening to an "easy listening" station and the song "Reminising" came on. I knew immediately that this was an accomplished and very professional musical group! I just hoped that the announcer would mention the name of the song and, more importantly, the performing group. He did and I purchased a LRB CD (Greatest Hits) that night. That was so good, I also purchased the 20th Anniversary CD. After reading of their history, I realize that I was stationed in Alaska when they first came out. Interestingly enough, my 20 year old son likes the group as much as I do. Thank you for a fine web site. As I type this, I'm listening to "Cool Change" on the computer's CD player. I've also downloaded the guitar chords for Reminiscing and Cool Change from another web site and can't wait to crank up the old Stratocaster! Thanks. Richard Hodges |

It has been pointed out to me that I erroneously mentioned Derek had been out of the band for 6 years ('84-'90). I am correcting that to 4 years ('84-'88). Being in this small little town, I don't hear too much of everything else that's going on in the world. I just remember the first time the band came back to St. Louis was 1990. Sorry for the goof!

Name: Ewan J. Wordsworth Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In! From: Melbourne, Australia Time: 1998-01-20 13:58:38 Comments: Congratulations on a FANtastic site. As a fan of LRB from Australia, I don't often get to hear or see much info about the band. It was only just recently that I heard that Glenn Shorrock was no longer lead singer! This news was on a radio interview on one of our local FM stations - this is also where I heard about 'All You Need Is Beatles' for which I have tickets - can't wait.. only 10 days now. LRB (in Australia) just seemed to disappear after the Get Lucky tour. I have seen Glenn Shorrock in a number of shows since then, including - One for the Money, GO Cat Go, Blazing Salads (great album) , Two Ups ( with Wendy Stapleton), with Brian Cadd at Crown Casino, & Solo also at the casino. Since Get Lucky, I wondered whether LRB would do a Final Concert in Aus. perhaps with a symphony orchestra (eg. Backstage Pass concerts..) but I think i'm going to have to stop hoping for that one... Once again, thanks for the great info in the site.. & feel free to email me anytime. Best regards from Down-under. |

Name: Karen Sanders Website: Referred by: Just Surfed On In! From: St. Louis, MO Time: 1998-01-19 23:10:50 Comments: Folks, fans and Frankie; I have just received an e-mail from a very reliable source close to the band that has informed me that even thought Derek has in fact left the band, Stephen will be continuing LRB for a '98 tour. His plan has included replacing members who have left and has in fact brought on the original bass player. Everything told to me makes sense and seems practical, although I admit, I also jumped to the conclusion that without Derek, LRB is dead. I remind you, Derek was gone for 6 years ('84-90) and the band survived. I was also told that "as they [the band] has shown numerous times over the years, everyone can and has been replaced and the music lives on." Stephen is very hopeful for this upcoming tour and plans to add more of the older classics that the fans continually ask for. Please pass on to everyone that you can think of that LRB is not dead, just reborn - once again - and will be just a vibrant and excellent as they have been after every other "re-birth." Thanks and hope to see some of you "on the road" Karen S. |

Peter will be going back to work with his band, Player and Tony will possibly be joining him. I also understand that Derek Pellicci also left LRB, Derek being the last original member..... I guess this is truly the demise of LRB. (But then again, I've also heard rumors that Graham Goble may be getting back in the group purely as a songwriter....). I wonder where this leaves the also rumored possible 25 year reunion??? |

Yes, I know all the songs, and I do not beleive that LRB received all of the recognition that they should have received from their home country. Still guys, you produced some of the best music ans harmonies EVER. I'm really sorry that I didn't see you that night many years ago at the ASTOR. Still I did pass that sign to Geelong the other day (exit to Little River). It's been a long time...but I trust that help is on it's way...

I am in Television, and have access to equipment able to play broadcast format videotape. I just need to get the tape. John Farnham continues to blow me away with his vocals. How amazing he is.

Name: Darrell DeLay Website: Referred by: Net Search From: Broken Arrow, OK Time: 1997-12-19 18:07:06 Comments: There seems to be a lot of bickering going on as to who was the best lead vocalist. In my oppinnion both Glenn and John did a fantastic job. When Glenn left I figured well so much for LRB. Usually when a lead singer leaves the band doesn't survive, but John came along and did a great job. I am a big fan of his solo music as well. It's a tough thing to pull off and LRB is one of the few bands to do it and do it well. I was glad that when John left Glenn came back on board and again did a great job. I love Get Lucky. It has to be amoung my favorites. I haven't heard the current line up but I doubt it would be the same without Glenn and Graham. Best wishes to all the LRB members. God Bless |

It was the best concert I've ever seen, the band was so good musically- speaking. With the massive lineup changes I don't see how they can be as good as they used to be, but how can all of you be wrong? John Farnham is an incredible singer, you may want to purchase his Anthology CDs (esp. the live one, #2) which are available over the web at Australian music stores. I can't stop listening to the "Please Don't Ask me" track. BTW, does anyone know how I can get a copy of the "Too Late to Load" CD? |

The version of "Diamantina Cocktail" available thru your link to Gregs Music World in the land down under is the Aussie release version (Help is on its Way, The Drifter, LA in the Sunshine, The Inner Light, Witchery, Home on Monday, Happy anniversary, Raelene Raelene, Changed and Different). Success at last, THANKS!!!! Now if I can only find a CD of the original "After Hours." |

From: Time: 1997-10-17 11:45:00 Comments: Nice to find an LRB site, been a fan since '75 when I was an exchange student and saw them in Adelaide SA. I noticed some minor mistakes in your discography section. As you noted the US release of "Diamantina Cocktail" combined songs from the Aussie "After Hours" & DC. If you were fortunate enough to find an import copy of AH, you have the same alblum as the original Aussie release. I've never been able to replace the Aussie release version of DC I lost year's ago and the tape is worn out. However, the One Way Records release of AH is actually a combination of the songs from the Aussie AH & DC which weren't released here plus a couple of bonus tracks. Buy their releases of AH & DC and you'll have all of LRB's first two releases. Anyone wishing a copy of the track sequence can contact me via email. |

Anyway, again, thank you for such enjoyable and pleasurable music!!! Your Fan, R. C. Fisher |

I like them musically--especially for their harmonies, musicianship, and complex key changes. I hope this continues with all of the member changes that have occurred in the last couple of years. I am most upset that I missed the tour. There was a date in Cincinnati that I wished I'd known about!!!! Any chance of Graham rejoining the band? |

From: New Jersey, USA Time: 1997-10-09 18:45:00 Comments: To Lori Orchow Haney in response to your two recent guestbook entries: I must have missed the section about CONFINING OUR COMMENTARY to certain band members. (I guess I'd better not mention that I think John Farnham is by far the best lead singer LRB ever had. Really.) I had a favorite line-up too, but circumstances change and life goes on. Thankfully, we were left with a rich musical legacy, but just because Glenn and Graham are no longer in the band, I should stop seeing their music played live? How silly. Can you imagine what this world would be like if the live performance of a song were restricted to the original artist(s) only? To protect the public, perhaps there should be a universal law that any time a band changes personnel -- if even by one member -- the band name must also change. By doing so, no one will ever be fooled into thinking they're getting something they're not. For your consideration, how about: "LRB, But Not Really" or "LRB Version __" or "We're Not LRB At All". New or old, they're all worth it. adubovick@mail.att.net |

This website is a longtime coming. Ditto, highlight, & underline everything Lori Orchow Haney said. Lori pass this on to Shorrock: Saw Paul Hogan's T.V. show. You're quite a character. Tell Hogan to put you in his next movie. |

Name: Lori Orchow Haney Website: Referred by: Net Search From: Las Vegas Time: 1997-10-06 22:12:00 Comments: Back in high school I had to be the only person who loved LRB...especially Glenn Shorrock. It blows me away that some 18 years later they have a web page, fans who care, and return websurfers. LRB was never a "cool" band to like, but oddly, everyone loved their music. Now that the band is basically a memory, in my very open opinion ( see my previous posting), it is sad that no one will ever see the original members play together ever again all because of internal battles and legal wars. I periodically e-mail Glenn Shorrock and tell him what all of you are saying, so the message IS being heard by him. I'd be glad to relay any other thoughts you'd like to express...just email me. I have given him the web address for this site so I'd expect to see him here soon too. And, for those fans of John Farnham or Steve Wade, go make a website in their honor...this is for LITTLE RIVER BAND! |

I never thought I would be able to get all of their music on CD. Thankfully, One-Way made that a reality. I was able to acquire most of the titles from imports but never could find No Reins. The only LRB remaining LRB item I would like to find is their HBO special they did. |

Name: Charlotte Christy Website: Official Jimi Jamison/Survivor Fan Club Referred by: Net Search From: Mississippi Time: 1997-10-02 03:03:00 Comments: I love the LITTLE RIVER BAND! I became a huge fan when they did their show with Survivor at the Konocti Resort in California. I'm Survivor's fan club president so I got the opportunity to stand back stage while the group was performing. I recongized all the songs and danced right along with all of them. After the show, and to my surprise, the band introduced themselves to me and thanked me for having so much fun. After the show, we all met at the hotel bar and got to talk for hours. In May of 1997, Survivor and LITTLE RIVER BAND came to Laughlin, Nevada and of course, I just had to go. Before the show, they allowed me to come in and watch sound check and once again to my surprise, everybody remembered me. These guys are fantastic and I just adore them. And, Hal, if you ever read this, I miss you and next time I won't let Dale take me away from that drink that we were going to have. Can't wait to see them again! They put on a great show and their vocals are just incredible. Come back to the states soon. Charlotte |

The great harmonies, the thought provoking lyrics and the always rich production!! Graham Goble cranking out so many great songs over the years. The wonderful vocals by Glenn Shorrock, John Farnham and Wayne Nelson! The deep driving sonar drums of Derek Pellicci. Did anybody produce better music than LITTLE RIVER BAND!! |

Was just in the record stores and glad to see that they have released the No Reins album on CD . I consider this to be one of their best , although it's a hard decision there were so many good recordings these guys did . I think it was by far the best release of the John Farnham era . Got to see them once when he was lead singer . I was just amazed at this guys vocal range . really enjoyed his tenure with the band . Rock on!!!!!!!!!!! |

Name: Lori Orchow Haney Website: Referred by: Net Search From: Las Vegas, Nevada Time: 1997-09-19 23:00:00 Comments: While I can appreciate everyone having his/her own opinion, I cannot understand how someone can say how great the LITTLE RIVER BAND is, when in reality only the drummer is an original member. I have known Glenn Shorrock for 18 years, and when he left the band, the group became simply a reunion type of band. Glenn cannnot be replaced, and it kills me to watch someone else act like the songs he is singing are his own. No one would talk about the Beatles being the Beatles if Paul McCartney were replaced by some unknown bassist/singer. I don't fault Steve Wade, but the LITTLE RIVER BAND is not the same band who sold millions of records in the 70's & 80's. Maybe the new group puts on a good show, but I know how important songs are to Glenn and I really don't think having someone else sing them does anything but generate an income for the band members! Sorry, but that's MY opinion! |
