Anyone interested in Australian music history can’t go past this. It’s an essential part of the daily diet of music. Two brilliant musicians shooting the breeze. Just brilliant.
Fabulous conversation between two legends of Aus/NZ music. Particularly enjoyed the LRB audition story & the "Long Train Running" connection. Made me laugh, cos that's what we all do.
This was wonderful Roger. To celebrate, I just played my vinyl copy of After Hours and, as always, loved your musicianship and the variety of eclectic sounds on that album. Please keep this up with interviews of other members...you are doing a great service to the fans & how we all remember you taking Australian music to the world. More power to you!
Roger can I just say these 2 interviews, 1 & 2, are an absolute insight into Graeham, LRB and indeed your good self. Congratulations on this medium. It will grow.... Love it.
Another really enjoyable instalment of "Isolated Bass". Given that Goble fired you from LRB and the founder members all fell out with each other and with the band in the ensuing years, it is heartwarming that time has healed those old wounds and there remains a high level of respect between you, Goble & Beeb and between the three founders of LRB and all of you talk fondly of shared years past - good and bad. Days on the Road is, perhaps by a slender margin, my favourite LRB song. Love the bass line, love Formosa's playing, Pellici nails it yet again and the harmony singing in the coda is gorgeous - the three voices together, two fading out leaving Shorrock only. Superb - one of my all time favourite song endings.
Very good interview Roger. Greahams comments are so relevant and you have done a great job to bring this personnel info into our homes. As I have said before when I had hair I was in a band back in the 70s and it was great. LRB and the people that made up that band drove me through my own band days....Formosa, Briggs, Little goose Sullivan all those people.
46:45 I've had exactly the same, frustrating songwriting experience as Roger describes. Usually in that twilight zone between being asleep and awakening, a wholly ORIGINAL melody (complete with chords and bass line) will spring up, virtually writing itself and probably lasting a minute or so......only to evaporate soon after I awaken!
How good were LRB and Graeham Gobles song writing. Bands these day don’t harmonise like LRB did. In my opinion the two greatest bands for harmonies were the Eagles and LRB. Graeham also wrote “Kings Of the World” which was way ahead it’s time, great track, loved it. Thanks Roger for a great interview.
I have been a fan of LRB from their beginning. Must say I could never understand why Roger left I love his willingness to take bass playing to a jazz level. Never missed a gig at the Dallas Brooks Hall and The Town Hall over the road from Armstrong's Recording Studio in Bank St. There is a question I would love to put to Graeham. Listening to his speaking voice {I think he is a second tenor) what is he doing as in falsetto, headvoice or through the nasal passage ? It sounds so different to his speaking voice, I love the blend with Beeb who really has a great harmony voice and with Glen's root note ...well as the Eagles said "The best vocal harmony band in the world !" So true.
Hey Daniel, Thanks for your thoughtful reply. First up i was asked to leave the band as a few members thought i was not up to scratch. But that's cool i became a better player as a result. Yes Graeham is a tenor as such but has a wonderful in tune high falsetto. Often mid song Beeb would take the high tenor melody with Glen taking the lower harmony. That's the secret to their fabulous blend that is unique to LRB. Check out Graeham's Spotify channel. His lead vocals are spectacular

Thanks Bill. It's been a revelation for me and for you. Graeham was so generous with his time.
What an illuminating interview. And what a fantastic testimonial for Pyramid. Great interview Roger
John Phillips yes Graeham was very generous with his time and comments

Had a great time putting this together
@@RJRKM what would it take to get there name back
@@lozloz7418 ah that’s the million dollar question. Steve Housden has categorically said he will never release the name.
@@RJRKM is there anyway the name can be sold
@@lozloz7418 In a nut shell Steve Housden does not want to sell the name back to the Original members.
This is great, love the humility and the openess..thankyou

Thank you for your heart felt comments Wayne. Yes, time does heal old wounds.

Fantastic interview with brilliant musician and composer. Days on the road is one of my utmost favourite Little River Band. Thanks for this. 👍👍
Roger, from a fellow bass player and Little River Band fan, this is tremendous. Love your stuff mate, thanks so much.
