Little River Band - Reminiscing REMASTERED

- I wonder how many people, after seeing The Other Guys, came here to TH-cam searching for "Reminiscing"....and found this video with "the other guy"(not the original singer) singing this song?
Too Funny...:):):)
And this video was NOT made because we want John back in LRB(that will never happen). This video was made for friends after John took a break from touring and recording. - เพลง
John Farnham’s vocals are insane!! This is by far the best version of this song because of him!
He's crazy good!
He is only doing this so people forget about Shorrock and the original version. To over the top, just to try and out do the original.
No not as suave as Shorrock but who wants suave…??? Fred Collier
I agree awesome singer
@@kevind1931 WTH mate... John doesn't even think that way... he's sings that way because he can.. when you have a voice that is able to do an extreme amount, why would you settle for just singing the melody... different horses for different courses... if you watch Farnham getting interviewed by Roy & Hg, they ask him why he sings the way he does, and over the top... he answers it perfectly..'because he can'... it absolutely has nothing to do with competition... I'm so over this Farnham versus Shorrock debate... who cares, just enjoy both singers for what they do...
As much as everyone loves the vocals from John, what’s even more impressive is that the band had to take the song from its original key up a whole step to accommodate John’s range, and they all are perfect singing harmonies with him.
OMG This man is FANTASTIC! I dont get excited over vocalists too often but oly cow! His stage presence as well!
I said the same thing! His stage presence is just magnetic, and it can't be taught. As my momma used to say, (a singer, herself): "You either got it, or ya 'aint."
He's got it.
@@shannonkuratli170 yeah I’m impressed at his confidence. Makes him 10 times more attractive.
Got a treat for you... From the Land Down Under... John is Music Royality here, an ICON for all times... John Farnham, started in 1967 and was still performing into his 70s until Covid shut the country down. They put out a doco last year called John Farnham - Finding The Voice (that's what he is affectionately known as here "The Voice), he can sing anything and make it sound great. I'll drop a link or two to give you a taste and warn you if you start reacting to John, the Aussie Army will flood your channel. LOL if you decide to go exploring, make sure you only watch "Live" performances, he loves his fans and they love him back. He is the most down to earth loveable person, humble, funny and extremely talented. He even was the frontman for LRB for a time in the early eighties. First the trailer...th-cam.com/video/LocCfc5PKrE/w-d-xo.html the next is one of the encores at the end of a 2+ hour concert 1986, a John Lennon number but John's version (JL heard it before he passed and said that was the way the song was meant to sound)...th-cam.com/video/dv54giOSRKs/w-d-xo.html 1991 with another Aussie Legend Jimmy Barnes doing an old Sam Cook number.. th-cam.com/video/AK9uhGmvo6U/w-d-xo.html 1994 (while chewing gum LOL).. th-cam.com/video/dWTEesb7FrY/w-d-xo.html 1999 With Human Nature doing a Jackson Five number th-cam.com/video/AK9uhGmvo6U/w-d-xo.html 2000 th-cam.com/video/AK9uhGmvo6U/w-d-xo.html So many to choose from, hope you like them. 💞
He is known as "the voice" in Australian music industry and is one of Australias most famous singers of all time. Along with like Jimmy Barnes.
Farnham dammmmmm
You can't go wrong with the original singer, but every time I watch this song with this guy it just blows me away. I love his voice.
Russel Jay that’s what happened to me. I had the original and kept singing this guys style in my head. I was like... what?
WOW...I'm getting old. That is JOHNNY FARNHAM, Living Legend in Australia.
But you are for sure forgiven because you Got the Feeling most do when hearing John live. Twice for me in the 80s.
PS: If you like the song 'AMAZING GRACE' ...look it up here on YT. AMAZING IS RIGHT...
You have got to be joking. John takes it up to a whole new level.
I agree. He's mesmerizing.
original sionger sucks tbh
He has one of the BEST voices I have ever heard.......🙂
I guess you haven't heard many voices. I can name dozens of people with better voices.
@@sallywilliams5444you should probably look into John Farnham then he definitely had a very unique voice and this song doesn't really show it's full potential... and then give me 10 people with better voices you won't be able to 😅
@@sallywilliams5444 Go on then.
What a pointlessly negative comment.
I only know John Farnham, the old one. But man, watching him here. It's no wonder he is known at the voice. John owns this song, great vocal range.
Jerome Ierome he and Olivia Newton-John have collaborated again recently on a 2016/2017 Christmas Album.
Many times I've watched John live and mingled with him. First time I really went to see LRB...LEFT GOING OMG!
Shelter Island Pier "CONCERTS BY THE BAY" San Diego,Ca.
Also in 1983....The FOX THEATER downtown San Diego,Ca.
Wayne Nelson,Bassist/Vocals lives/lived in Del Mar,California,north County San Diego. I'd see Wayne almost every year.
I believe he resides...or has recently in Nashville...after the Tragic loss of his Young Daughter. Quite the Vocalist himself,he carried LRB for yrs after Johns' departure.
Have a Great Jam session! DG
Jerome Ierome
Jerome I have to agree with you totally, beautiful voice
John Farnham's career launched to another level as a result of his involvement with LRB (Little River Band). He had to endure a lot of negative press personally through this time replacing LRB's founding lead singer Glen Shorrock who gave LRB much of their presence & respect in the music community, & deservedly so. John's vocal range & his ability to understand how to sing certain types of songs became very noticeable to everyone through this period with LRB. He went on to stand on his own 2 feet & be part of a band under his own name that produced the highest selling domestic Australian Album of all-time (at the time & possibly still). In the modern music world as a male vocalist, he still has few peers world-wide. An amazing voice that influenced & inspired many vocalists & performers here in Australia. Long live JPF!!
There you go everyone lol Chew on that for a while!!!
Already had a successful solo career b4 LRB.
Australia is blessed to have John Farnham as a singer, actor, performer, songwriter and person. He is so much more than we expected him to be. In Australia, all the band sings, even the drummer.
And he's originally from the UK, I love him singing the voice :)
that voice is butter.....................
I wish he had a studio recording of this version.
me too
they just need to re-master this one and put it on itunes, it's faster, funkier, and more jazzy the original version.
Trust me, as a trained vocalist, and not an image monger, I can attest that he is indeed one of the best pop vocalists that ever lived. It’s not just about hitting notes folks but also about tone, power, and vocal quality. And John Farnham had all of the above and then some, and then some again. It was the image mongers, like the morons over at Rolling Stone that kept him from getting the credit he deserved. Farnham’s voice was freakishly good.
+Roy Powell what about lou gramm?
His voice is "bloody good"!
+Roy Powell HAD? he still does! as I am sure you know. recently on WORLD TOUR with his buddy,Olivia Newton-John. His "PLAYING TO WIN" video is real good. NOT like back in the Day,Because wiff LRB... They ROCKED that song.
+Caleb Bosia Butting in...sorry... Lou is one of the GREATS! too bad he is so mental. I mean that with Love. He is a real class act,but suffers from many psychological problems.. My friend Bruce Turgeon,BASSIST, co-wrote MIDNIGHT BLUE and others on Lou's first solo album. He was 'Foreigner' bassist after the ORIGINAL REUNITING in the 90's
+DW TAMA Thats great news. l hope it's going well. Do you know how many performances they are doing - and where they are?
This is probably my all time favorite VOCAL. He's SO relaxed that it added millions to his voice that was already great, but NONE of the other videos of his that I've seen sound....like......this one!!!! Blows me away every, single, time I hear it. Wow.
I did search for other videos with J.F. after hearing this as well, and found nothing even remotely as appealing as his performance here.
@@daniellejulien715 you mustn’t have looked hard enough. He has many, many brilliant performances on TH-cam.
Check out Amazing Grace. Also a there’s a couple of duos with Jimmy Barnes that will blow your mind.
"You're the Voice" is fantastic. So is"Chain Reaction"
Relaxed? He's a sweaty mess and he thinks this tune is a clap along, foot stomper and it's NOT. it's a laid back, soft rock tune. No need to run all over the stage clapping and sweating, bending notes, changing the melody. I don't dig it at all.
Couldn't stop listening to this today. John Farnham sounds amazing here. Way to own a song.
Maurice Calis
He sounds amazing. Couldn't agree more.
Way to own the song and take a big wet defecation all over it!
Harmonies are Brilliant i could listen to them for ever
This guy just make's you wanna move when he sings, the way he move's on stage and that voice, just out standing! I just love how he does this song!!! One of the greatest singers I've ever heard! Right-On John!
I've never seen this singer before, but I've always loved this song.
This singer is soooo fantastic, and even though I loved the original singer's voice, I actually like this interpretation, dare I say, slightly more !
Such fantastic musicians, all of them.
One of the best live versions...Farnham great. someone will be watching this in 2145. 👍
OK, Farnham may be a great singer but this lineup is no Little River Band, just a cover band. The right and only LRB has Beeb Birtles & Graeme Goble on vocals and guitars and the great David Briggs on solo guitar.
@@blueraybirdthe only person missing from that list is Briggs. Goble and Birtles are right there with John
John can really sing! He kills it at 1:45 and 3:00!! Those are not easy notes for a normal singer to hit but he hits them with ease.
:33 to :42 is when your ears first perk up...
This guy sings incredible ..
what an exquisite version .. soul and voice
Far out. John Farnhams voice is flipping insane.
I could listen to this over and over and over, oh I do!!!! I love it and him.....
"I always have little river band in this car"
got like 6, 7 disks here. lrb
Kaleb Juliu like Mon Amour!!
Kaleb Juliu same with Will Ferrell in The Other Guys
That'll be me, a little LRB is always in my car.
I just saw the original singer perform this live in his heydey...and this guy's voice blows him out of the water!!!
This guy's voice has a wider range, sustains the notes longer with a much stronger vibrato.
Big deal.
Farnham butchered the song and alienated the band members with his over the top performance
@@victortachiquin4965 I originally came on here to troll him but I have to admit that he’s really good. And Housden is too despite what he’s doing now.
This kid was phenominal. No wonder he's known as The Voice in Australia.
Also because he had a song called You're the Voice.
“I wanna build my world around you” at the :39 second mark is just soooooo good! This is the best version I’ve heard of this song due to John’s vocals (and the guitar at the end). Love it!
Now that's what i call an amazing singer!!!
I swear....this has to be the best FREE vocal I've ever heard...so FREE, flowing and on the mark with every note...OMG...lol
Why did he leave the group
@@mikerescigno2232they were holding him back
Modern Renaissance Man brought me here. Damn! This sounds good!!! 🤯😍🥰
Yeah.. Because of MRM, I am a HUGE John Farnham fan now!!
John is singing the blue beejesus outta this song. Full stop.
His voice gives me chills - one of my favorite songs of all time.
WOW. John ELEFANTE could have been the American John Farnham but he wasted his talents by switching to singing religious nonsense. How strange. :):)
Great pipes. Saw LRB in 1983 when John was their lead singer. They were incredible and looked like they were enjoying playing together.
Amazing how you can take the original and make it better! We saw them on this tour in San Diego then ran into the bass player the next day at a card shop. He lives in San Diego. John blew the crowd away. He left you speechless. Perfect concert.
What a beautiful song. I've played this song, so many times on the violin and never forgot it. But I was 32 years old, and today i only play classical musics.
Friday night it was late, I was walking you home
We got down to the gate, I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right?
How to tell you girl, I want to build my world around you
Wanna tell you that it's true
I wanna make you understand I'm talking about a lifetime plan
Well that's the way it began, we were hand-in-hand
Glen Miller's band was better than before
We yelled and screamed for more
And those Porter's tunes made us dance across the room
It ended all too soon
On the way back home I promised you'd never be alone
Hurry, don't be late
I can't hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark, walking through the park
And reminiscing
Friday night it was late, I was walking you home
We got down to the gate, I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right?
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
Hurry, don't be late
I can't hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark, walking through the park
And reminiscing
John owns this! God bless you JF...thankyou for the amazing entertainment you have given us ❤
My brother told me John Farnham (the voice) sang this in concert, and did an amazing job. He was right. So happy I came and listened
Love this singer!! Why is the audience so dead?? What the what I would be going crazy if I was there.....man to live back then😍🤗
I first discovered this a few days ago, but damn! I have listened to it ever since I discovered it, and even though I like the original singer, this just blew me away. The control John Farnham has over his voice (and performance) is second to none. DAMN I LOVE THIS!
Have you heard his version of the Beatles song “Help” live With the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra? It’s out of this world
This is absolutely unbelievable. I was born 30 years too late.
Once again, cannot get over this. This guy, I swear.
I've never-ever heard a vocal this precise and perfect....ever ever
th-cam.com/video/G0BQ8m48bQQ/w-d-xo.html
I actually remember when John went across and was sure he'd do well... (WOW)
Phenomenal vocals! Very solid!
John Farnham was the best singer LRB ever had! Anything he ever sang of their original music, was always made better than the original version. Thanks for your ride on the music scene John! We'll never forget you.
In my mind one of the best "Pop-Rock" vocalists ever. his range and live accuracy are astonishing as is his subliminal timbre. Check out "Down On The Border" as well. CRAZY good vocalist and the rest of LRB is great as well.
Wow this guy has an INCREDIBLE voice. I wish i was there to see this.
Oh my goodness...what a voice, presence and control. He uses his voice like an instrument. Flipping awesome!!!
My.mam and dads song recently passed away 3vweeks apart, hope you both together for everr. Love you always. Xoxo help me through the pain👍🤟😎😀❤
This guy is AMAZING! He was definitely on his game that night... Such spirit.. It's rare, and wonderful to see!
Len, Check out his other stuff...Amazing Sam & Dave cover he did.
This guy was always "on his game." He really could sing. A true natural.
In fact, I remember when a broadway production of Pippin came to Australia, John Farnham played the title role (in the Melbourne production which I attended). This guy, yes, "this guy" has musical talent. And he totally enjoyed what he did.
joe schmo You're absolutely right... John Farnham deserves much better than to be referred to as... "this guy"! I must have been under a rock or something, cause the very first time I ever heard him sing was when I made that comment... I'd put a cover of this song here on YT and was browsing for other versions....Naturally I was mesmerized - being a singer myself, and I'm still in awe..... If I ever cover this again... I'm gonna (try) to do it like John!!!!
This knocks socks off the original Johns's voice is phenomenal!!!! gives me chills he's soooooo good
Glenn Shorrock's version is much better. This guy whines too much.
Simply one of the greatest vocalists I've ever heard. Truth be told, the best!
Brilliantly written song! And the band?!! fantastic harmonies, sweet John's lead and Stevie's playing; just totally unforgettable!
This guy is an amazing talent, I queue this video up every now and then when I need a pick-me-up, it never fails to make me smile.
An absolutely flawless performance from john Farnham here, oozing with stage presence and charisma.
It's still hard to believe this is a live performance. Farnham & the entire band just kills it. I don't think I've ever heard LRB harmonies better than in this live version. And, to accommodate John's higher voice than Shorrock's, they had to sing in a higher key. Man, they should've done more harmonies in higher keys. Absolutely perfect harmonies from Graeham, Beebs, & Wayne.
2021...and this song still is Booming! John's voice is amazing! I love that my kids who are in their 20's love this song and this era of music....Real music!
I just love his charisma in this version. So cheeky!
I've always loved this version of the song!
I saw the Little River Band(minus John) in Vegas last year and enjoyed the show immensely. The lead singer John has an awesome voice...wish he had been there.
A singer's talents can only be appreciated in Live performance.
Not in a recorded one. This man is great.
I am nuts for this. Loved the original but as a trained musician and also a lover of pop music, this version haunts me in a great way. I'd love to shake hands with this guy. This has flavors of Stevie Wonder.
And a nice bloke as well. John Farnham
Stevie Wonder said John Farnham has an incredible voice.
The BVx are rock soild good too. Seriously high harmonies. I've just returned to this an hour later an force fed it into my ears at high level on studio cans. Yes, John Farnham is an absolutely bloody magnificent lead vocalist. Why would anyone refer to Springsteen as The Boss?
Vocals are kick ass, Bruce is the boss because of the whole package, it's the songs the swagger the vocal power n balls, plus the e street band is unbeatable in it's role
paulanderson79 ure absolutely right. This dude’s voice is fantastic. I’m so sorry I never heard of him in the USA. And Bruce Springsteen is the biggest hoax in american music.
@@lebarre1000 "Bruce Springsteen is the biggest hoax in American music." is my all time favorite TH-cam comment. I didn't think anyone else knew that!
paulanderson79 Springsteen Sucks
Oh my goodness! Oldies but goodies . ❤️❤️
Their harmony was crazy
I can watch this over and over again.
6 years later still love this.
I think I’ve listened to this at least once a week since I found it. Thanks.
Breathtaking voice on this man. What an extraordinary performance.
A forever classic. Love this song.
I come back and watch this exact version every few years
Incredible voice of John and a beautiful song ... I nearly cried listening to this performance
Amazing song and amazing voice!
This man KILLED IT!!! AMAZING VOICE LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!! SANG IT BOY!!
The control John has with his voice is incredible! I’ve never heard this version before and now I’ve heard it at least 4 times so far. 😉
Farnham...whew the quality of his voice and his jazz inflections are killer.
All of those guys are bad ass, both singers.
One of my favorite songs of all time!!
John Farnham is "The Voice" in Australia. I have loved him since I was 14 years old, when I first saw him on stage. (For the Australians here, it was at Roselands in Sydney)
Not only does he have phenomenal vocals, he is truly a nice guy with a great sense of humour.. He is battling some health issues at the moment and I pray for a complete recovery.❤🙏❤🙏❤
Can't get enough of his awesome, sensual style & live performances! 🥰😘😚🤗
I have literally searched for years to find THIS copy of this song!!! Praise be to the heavens I found it!! I wish I could find oodles more LRB stuff from his tenure with the group.... His voice is sheer perfection!! What's he up to nowadays??
John Farnham is his name. He's a fabulous all round guy. Great sence of humour. He had massive success in Australia as a solo artist. There's lots of his videos here on TH-cam - including a playlist l have put together -- 'Little River Band- plus John Farnham solo'. He's semi retired now.
allymayful
He's had an astounding solo career. Look for John Farnham singing "when Something is wrong with my baby" with Jimmy Barnes and "help" with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. You won't be disappointed. He is out of this world.
Damn, Amazing voice!!!! Chills!!
I had never heard of this guy before. I'm thoroughly impressed. It's a joy to see how much fun this guy is having singing this song.
Johnny Farnham is absolutely awesome
John Farnham has a set of pipes, superb vocal talent
Cheers for remastering this. I know he's already known as "the voice" but his performance here (I mean...LIVE performance!) is fekkin' astonishing!! I hyperventilated the first time I saw it now I just cry and scream and clap and yell for joy each time...
After all these years, I’m still shocked by this dude. What a voice.
I watched this air on TV the first time it was broadcast In America.
Wow....Incredible Song...Fabulous Voice....Wonderful Performance.....Just the Bestest ...ReMastered Version ....John Farnham is INCREDIBLE. Thanx for Posting this Epic Masterpiece.
Wonderful Harmony work and exquisite, masterful guitar interpretation
Randy Cross
Randy, I couldn't agree with you more!
Randy Cross
Randy his voice is captivating, I mean stunning, I enjoyed the song better than before!!😆
Randy Cross
Excellent stage presence, he definitely feels the song!
john farnham has a great voice and perfect stage personality! he also sings the hit song at the beginning on a very popular 80's bmx movie called Rad! watch the movie!
+Ryan Miller Or save yourself the agony of sitting through that terrible movie and click here..:):):) - th-cam.com/video/lyNRmFxpbLU/w-d-xo.html
Ryan Miller
Terrible movie! Dude...hell track tho
The song, the vocals, the musicians... Perfection!! 🥰
WOW, He brings it all down with his singing. Fire hot version of this song . I loved it and watched it about 6 or 7 times. Never had such a feeling about this song until now!
And I most certainly remember the Original version! Loved it first as it was the one you heard a million times on the radio and the vocals were outstanding. This one just had that extra "voila'"......
gosh, it's nice to see you, John, with your vocal skills and talent, and your stage comfort and professionalism ... re-doing LRB's wonderful song ... you did it so well ! (and hey, hard to win over a Shorrock admirer ! , like me) ... excellent.
Yes +10 on John is unreal. I worked with Wayne and he was the best around san diego when he was there. LRB has some great singers. I don,t know if many newer groups have vocals like these guys. GT.
Just wow, I mean I love the original and how many came here thinking this would'nt be up to scratch.
He does it his way but technically is soooo good. As for TLRB they always had great harmonies. So good.
It's always hard to replace someone in a band, but this guy just rocks.
This is the best version of this song. I come back to this every now and then
Great singer
13 years old and this is the first time I've heard John sing "Reminiscing" one of my LRB's favorite tracks...John clearly had fun with it and rightly so....just finished watching "Finding the Voice" on Channel 7 (2nd viewing I might add) 2/8/2023
Amazing band and Amazing voice love ❤️ it For me one of the best Australia 🇦🇺 band
Wow wasn't expecting that voice. Unbelievable 👏
I just had to put this in my music Library!
