      Amazing song: it's rare that songs of such length have no dull moment; I assume largely because of Ric Formosa's influence who studied arrangement and orchestration at musical conservatory. Performance wise: Ric's playing in the studio version is more exciting than in this live version.

    Something you just see in the Australian music industry these days in that all these musicians where well grounded in previous bands and performing for in some cases many years before LRB. Today bands/musicians just don't have overall venues and environment to play and nurture songs and sounds. I am so lucky to have lived in the 60's 70's Australian music scene, we were spoilt for talent and great songs.

    LRB was and is SO under appreciated. They never get the credit for really fantastic songs. Don Henley stated that he believed that no one at the time had better harmonies. High level praise from a guy who started a band that might be considered the second best band re harmonies. Mr. Henley said they were better than The Beach Boys. Mighty strong statement. I’d never go see LRB today. No original band members. Sometimes, the big three go out on their own. Can’t use the LRB name. What does Glenn say? We are not LRB, but we sure as hell sound like them. 😂

    Ric must have felt like strangling the cameraman and vision mixer, they seem to deliberately avoid him and focus only on picking. Unfortunately this happened a lot them and still happens. André in Sydney

      In reality, I don't think Ric pays too much attention to this sort of stuff. It was happening in the 70s and it's still happening now. The director up in the booth not switching to the right camera. In reality, we are very lucky to even have this footage of the original Little River Band playing this song live. I look at myself and cringe ,mincing up to the camera. What was I thinking?

    I hate 70s production! Sure, we want to see the vocalist rather than Ric smoking what appears to be an SG. Can't really tell, though, because you only see it for 4 seconds spaced out over 8 minutes.
