Heard this song when first released in 1978 when I was 34 years old and still loving it on my 79th birthday in 2023. Lord, thank you for that 70’s music!!❤️
I'm 38 and i couldn't agree more!! I'm a old soul.
This was a musician's band. For example, Glenn Fry always said The Eagles harmonies weren't as good but owed homage to The Little River Band. This band was a favorite of the bands the masses loved in their era.
@@wordragon Coming from Glenn Frey that’s a real compliment. The Eagles and the Little River Band were both incredible!👍
i was 18 when i first heard it
I was 12 in 1978 and music and radio were king!❤
I used to play this song for my mom on Sunday mornings after breakfast, starting around 2010 when she was 74 yrs old. The song made me think of her and my dad's courtship days in the early 1950's at Michigan State; he was a big Glen Miller fan and they'd go dancing on weekends at Wampler's Lake, where the big bands used to come play on their Midwest tours. She loved this song b/c it reminded her of him, who passed away after 52yrs of marriage in 2006., She died 1 day shy of her 87th b-day on Feb. 7, 2021. Miss ya, mom.
Very cool story. You're a prince!
Sorry for your loss
What a blessing you were to each other!
sounds like your reminiscing 😂
Thanks for sharing. My heart is filled.
Im 28 but I’d rather listen to this than anything else playing today
True music
As I am getting older this song gets closer and closer to my heart. I loved it when I was 22 and love it even more now at 60
Omg. I feel the same way at 57. It’s so bittersweet. Can you ever use this song with a new love? Or is it just meant to stay in the past and in our hearts?
I’m 22 years old and I love this song! I hope I can reach 60 and still listen to this masterpiece
👍
I'm with you.
Listen at 17. Going to 70 this song brings me a good old days memory in Alberta Canada.
I've always loved this song but watching is so much better!
No music will ever replace the 70s music❤
Indeed....
Glenn Shorrock had such a stellar range and sang effortlessly.
Man, Glen it every note perfectly...as perfectly as he did on the record. That's talent.
They hit it out of the ballpark with this one.
Glen Frey of the Eagles has stated on camera these guys were his all time favorite band! End of story! watching august '21
And that's a heap of praise....from one great band to another!
Unlike the eagles, LRB didn't sell their souls to the devil.
@@JeepTJWheelin absolutely right!
I love them
The Wikipedia article about John Lennon says the same thing (about JL not GF) if I recall correctly.
I wish it was the late 70’s I took for granted
This song takes me wayyy back.
This ladies and gentlemen is Real musicianship, no autotune, no samples...that dude has a bad ass singer
And sound just as good or even better than the recording! 💪💯🔥
I would suggest this is almost certainly what they called a TV track. When they mixed the record they would have done a pass with just the lead vocal missing but everything else in there ( strings included and you'll note there are no string players or horns there) so it's basically karaoke. All that said, he is a great singer and I'm sure the band were all excellent musicians and singers but it would have been too problematic to try to do a television show and expect the mix for a live band to be this impeccable for one song as one band on a show with multiple artists.
Amen to that !!!!
This ladies and gentlemen, is a terrible song. I thought so when it came out and it hasn’t aged well. Bring on the auto tune if this is what the other option is
Asher!!! Good Grief! In what way is this a "terrible song?"
Wow! So many great memories! ❤️
Always liked this.
I am now 71, and just discovered this song again! And I still love it!!
Saw the Little River Band perform in ‘78, lovely memory of harmonies and such romantic lyrics, so talented and handsome,,,♥️,,,what’s not too love here?
I watched that night. 6th grade. The singer (Shorrock) was incredible.
This is literally like the PERFECT song.
Blown away how they're sound is so close to the record. There is a lot going on and they captured it all
With all due respect...
That is clearly tracked out...
NOT a LIVE performance..... NO way!
I still love it, though.
@@fishdude20022001 it's live they just killed it. Some bands are better live rush comes to mind. I was pleasantly surprised by this lrb video
@@drywizardinc After watching back again... I can buy that the lead vocals seem live. And I don not hear the conga's that are clearly in the original recording (another sign you might be right). BUT... that distinctive sonic sound on the drums and the first string movement between verse 1 and 2 give me pause...
Look, either way... This is an absolute classic.
Oh... and one other clue that they are at least partially tracked... they did not END the song... just faded out just as that incredible horn solo would have begun on the record.
Let me know what you think, Joe. This is a friendly debate.
@@fishdude20022001 yes I do agree that after hearing it again and going back to the original song you may be right it sounds like part was tracked and maybe the vocals and other selected instruments were 🎤 in to appear live. You sir are correct
@@fishdude20022001 Yeah, live vocals (lead vocal at least) over pre-recorded backing track.
This is my mom and dad's song. They were married November 12, 1978 and I was born 5 years later. This song will always be special to me. RIP dad.
What a remarkable live performance.. Sounds like the recording. Love this song. I was about 17 when it came out.
I just rediscovered this song from my childhood..just hearing my parents play it in '78 and subconsciously storing it away. You might know the feeling...not recognizing a song by the band/title, but as soon as the groove begins or you hear a harmonious vocal, you're wisked back to the smell of something good cooking while playing with Matchbox cars on the kitchen floor. What a joy to rediscover this song/band.😊
That crew impersonating this awesome band using its name should be ashamed of themselves. This is the Little River Band I grew up with right here.
Yes I agree. LRB are the Aussie Eagles
I love the original LRB including Wayne
Indeed! The Real Little River Band was 6 Australian guys, and as far as I'm concerned that's the way but always will be!
I love my AM radio station, when we were young and enjoying life with no worries 😅
I'll never forget this song....got my drivers license in 79 and as I got in my car a free young 16 year old ready to take on the world in my 67 Camaro this is the song playing on the radio.
A 16 year old in 1979, in a Camaro and you were listening to Reminiscing?
Big fan of Harvey Milk, were you…?
@@bongofury5924 Dude, please...he probably had the radio on and just happened to be tuned to this. Don't be a turd in the punch bowl.
To bad it was a Comaro.
@@bongofury5924 There is no need to be insulting. At all. If you don't like the songs, don't post. It's that simple.
That’s hilarious 😂
Saw the Little River Band last night in concert. Phenomenal
With each passing day the 70s and 80s become ever more painful Reminiscing.
yeah it was a great time to grow up
Love...thank you for the great memories...
Holy Shit... more proper music, discovered, love u tube.................................................
Too right!
1978. The best year for music ever. I was only 8. I was hanging out with girls who were at least 5 years older. I was a teenager before I should have been. Figuring out things I wasn’t meant to find out for many years. Falling in love with girls who had no interest in a boy. By the time I became a teen I was beyond all that. To my detriment.
I can't go a day without listening to this song. Take me back to simpler times, when music was honest and the vibes were immaculate...
1480 KWIZ-AM ... 1979 ... Huntington Beach, CA ... the memories.
My wife and I just celebrated our 40th anniversary.
"Now as the years roll on
Each time we hear our favorite song
The memories come along
Older times we're missing
Spending the hours reminiscing"
And, indeed Reminiscing is among our favorite songs. It was included in the music playlist for our wedding reception.
Jesus loves you David. Congratulations
October 78 I met that dream girl at college and we loved this song - it didnt work out but whenever this song (and some others from that fall) come on I think about those times and how I miss them and her too....
Not exactly my same story, but I can identify with you, man. Special songs just bring back such special memories!
When I hear this song, it takes me back to a place…..a season….and a very special person for me too. We saw LRB in concert which made it even more special. We have our separate lives now but it’s very powerful how a song can just immediately take you back. Music can most definitely be a soundtrack to our lives. Very special.
Really Amazing made me almost tear 😢 this type of music is beautiful
I never get sick of this song. Brings back a lot of memories. Awesome!
This is one of my favorites from that era.
Not underrated because we are all still coming back for more over n over again💖
Thank you, I hate those "Underrated" comments made by people that weren't around when the band was actually topping charts and on every magazine covers.
@@jimmartin7881 you’re so right because I’ve loved them my entire life n the songs mean more than ever now as an older person lol
A BEAUTIFUL song and a suave man!
Im 26 and was born in 95, all the music coming out today has nothing on this pure Gold.
"HURRY DONT BE LATE! I CAN HARDLY WAIT...I said to my self when were ooooold."
Like woah dude LRB was way ahead of their time.
what.a.voice!!!!!!!!!! one of the greatest songs ever.
Awesome Victorian Band How good is this ...
Woah just listen to those vocals WOW no auto tune nothing!!! 💗
Awesome
None of the bands back then used auto tune. Thats for people who can't sing
@@papprazziusa4817 wait a sec-some did a “auto-tune” but it was added more for something unique. For ex-Peter Framptom’s Do you Feel like I do! Remember the tube in mouth with guitar? That’s sorta like auto tune-it changes the vocals. Anyway, just thought I’d mention it. Have a good night!
"Real music by real musicians" -Prince
Homecoming '78.....43 years and we're still reminiscing.
Glenn Shorrock and his amazing voice...
He has a great voice
Almost sang this song to my Wife at our wedding in 2018. I ended up singing a Michael Bublè song but man I wish i could have done this one too. I was 22 years Old. Gotta love the oldies. Just wish they weren't oldies to me. To experience this live would have been inspiring.
This guy, Graeham Goble, wrote a masterpiece; a beautiful jazzy melody with enchanting lyrics relatabe to all those who have ever fallen in love. One of the best pop songs of all time, IMO.
0:38
We hear Glenn Miller Band mentioned in this song. Glenn Miller with his jazzy pop music had more hits in the 1930s and 1940s than all these performers had; more than Elvis, The Beatles, Rihannon - you name it. Glenn Miller's got more billboard hits than all other performers have in their careers.
I'm still drowning in that feeling I used to get with that song love it.
Almost brings tears to my eyes. Still love them after all these yests
@@beautyking6161 And it just brings me back to that time!
me too,,,,, me too
One of the greatest vocalists of all time. Some of the finest
Beautiful voice! Beautiful song! And a jam!
shut up
I remember it well! Such a great time, 60’s & 70’s, for music! 🎶
Great voice, great song. 🎼
Reminds me of being a young teenager skating to this at the skating rink. ♥️
All Skate :)
such a peaceful and enjoyable decade of music that is timeless - still being heard in 2024
😢 good old days 😢
This band is true memories of a great time. Top notch musicians, the best!
What a voice!
Wonderful song and beautifully done. If you listen closely to the lyrics, you'll find all kinds of shifts in time and perspective, as the elder man re-lives his youth. A masterpiece...
Little River Band is my most favorite band ever.
Wow....just wow!
Great sound being live!!
This is a kick ass live performance!
Not live
Sounds great live too. Wow. ❤️👍🏽
Love me lots of little river band from way back..positive energy 😉
I want to hear them forever.. underrated .. not appreciated for their talents.. love you guys sooooo much
My best friend has their cd and we still listen to them in the car, it never gets old, still very refreshing to the ears and heart
I'm listening to this on 18th of December 2022 @ 8.25pm from Wainuiomata New Zealand. Boy you Ozzies can sing sweet as👍🌲
Going to see them this friday in a small 600 seat place. Cant. Wait Loved new z when we visited 2016. Good friend of mine has a camp on lake taupo
Aussie Icons 👍
Music the way God intended. I was in kindergarten and yeah, this was on my playlist in 1978. I love Jesus and I love the USA.
I like the singer's voice. I like
the music. I like this song.😊
Still turn the volume up whenever I hear this song...it never gets old. :) LOVE LOVE this!!
Real music.... real talent... Great decade for classic rock.!
Got that just right man!!! Perfecto!!! By all means.
This song and "Dance with Me" have been favorites of mine since I was a teenager in the 1970s. My daughter and Hoppens daughter both took Opera at UTK and were friends while attending there. Both graduated in 2018. He would have been proud I am sure. Still the One and Dance with Me - 2 very special songs to me.
Was 14 when this song came out. Still love it😊
I was 19 years old when this song came out in 1978 and played this song in the afternoon and the album that my brother bought and Andrew Gold Never let her slip away
Seeing these guys live around this time would have been amazing. A time gone by. A place in time passed.
what a voice...what a song!
Glenn was sooo damn sexy back in the 70’s. I could watch & listen to him sing for hours!😍
The Little River Band still rates as one of the very best groups to emerge from that classic era of popular music, the 1970s, and their repertoire remains as immaculate today more than four decades on, as it did back in the '70s, even though none of the key members of the group are recognisable, as Father Time takes its toll. They were originally from a south west part of Melbourne called Little River after the stream that flowed south through the area, and ultimately took their brand of music and exquisite harmony to the USA to achieve remarkable success, but in typical parasitic fashion, as is the norm in the states, some local yokel spotted the talent and took out a copyright on the name LRB, so now the lads in their senior years play under their on names as SBG (Shorrock, Birtles Goble), but still perform their old classics untainted. Glen Shorrock, lead singer, was the idol of all the girls in the 1970/80s and many would still testify so now, but the years show no mercy, so time has marched on for them all, as it does for all of us. Reminiscing is the top of a very rich mountain of releases and it is now time emind all of that, as their mentor, guide and production manager, Glen Wheatley, who took them to the States and also fostered many others to a higher level including Johnny Farnham and Delta Goodrem, has suddenly succumbed to Covid related issues and passed away aged 74 this week. Glen Wheatley was himself a top pop singer as base guitarist for The Masters Apprentices, but his main talent was as a manager, so he will be greatly missed. Glen Shorrock responded to the sad news with much praise, and it is worth knowing that the late Glen Frey of Eagles fame considered The Little River Band as one of the era's greatest groups, so Vale Glen Wheatley and take it away LRB. This live performance is as good as any studio production, testifying to their natural talent, no technology availed nor ever needed, for their 1978 release, introduced here by REO Speed-wagon lead, in 1979, on the US Midnight Special programme.
To Brian Scott. How beautiful! What an amazing child your parents had! And you had them, too! Wonderful!
I just love it...the music, the voice, and the arrangements of the melody..awesome.
Glen had a spectacular unique voice...They sounded great live...I had that same haircut in HS in the late 70s...
The song strikes me as a perfect studio production controlling the subtlety of all the parts, yet here they are doing it live just perfectly. It’s so good. As a song writer that is what you want to be able to produce. The guitar funk is just glorious, the break licks so complex, and the drumming just there in the background anchoring it so skilfully. I just love it all.
Naive question maybe but where is the string section coming from? I guess they're playing and singing along with a string track?
@@mardavtay The lead vocals are live, but everything else is on playback.
@@handsomeXI think the guitars and all are live, but the strings, horns, percussion are backing tracks.
I couldn't of said it better!!!
Una de las canciones más hermosas.
On ya mate
They deliver a great performance of the most romantic song ever.
Wow! Whatta voice! ❤️. Timeless classic… ❤️
Such a great song. Definitely starts me reminiscing of riding with my grandfather in his Malibu Classic in the late 70’s. He let me control the radio and this song was on heavy rotation. I’ve always loved Glenn’s voice. 🤘🏻
What an amazing sound all these bands had back then. No slick production or studio tricks. Just pure raw talent.
One of my favorite songs of LRB!!! Such a great tune! The bass riffs, harmonies and horns all made a great everlasting song!
Amazing talent. Still sounds phenomenal. Love it!
MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME. OVER ANY HIP HOP RNB ANYTHING… THIS SONG MAKES LOVE TO MY SOUL YO REAL SHIT….
Such a great song, this one always picks me up when I hear it. Great band, you just don't hear cool jazzy chord progressions like this in pop music any more. The singer's phrasing is awesome.
Check out Mild High Club
First time I herd this song was my 8 yr old self walking past the shed and my whanau singing this so loud and beautifuly!! Good Memories 💯❤❤🙏
Now I'm 26 and can play and sing this song and I'm very blessed that I was surrounded by The Best tunes!☆👑🤘🙏❤💯
God bless the person who posted this for me. :)
I remembered my older sister loved this band..me being to young to know.. i sneered.
Now i love this band! 45 years later
Pure magic
Smooth romance. One of my all time favorites 💞
Beautiful song, and two left-handers in the same band.....
They don't make music like these anymore! What happened? 🥺 Missed the 70's.
