[mpforsich]

The little river band BLOWS

[TheFearlessFreep]

I haven't heard this since Reagan's 1st term... thanks for bringing up ancient memories. It still rocks!

[bubbatvbitch]

great voice

[samujess]

I've listened this song again and again for hundred times , yet still love it and never be weary .

[flintybraz]

one of the greatest songs ever! def in my top of 2 fav songs. the other oddly enough is Night Moves.

[Don1957ful]

Why do people tag this as New Zealand..it's 100% Australian!!..get over it Kiwi's

[nAthA342ful]

[saintninian]

I've ALWAYS got Little River Band loaded up! I got six disks in here!

[Angel79350]

Great band back in the eighties...got a guitar similar to, the lead guitarist is playing but mine is missing the wammy bar...I moved a lot and lost it ...lol

[adamcharney]

Listening to this video in the car through the stereo...good cruising tune!

[unholyimage]

Does anybody else think the lead singer looks like Ron Howard in his Happy Days era?

[sld4907]

Great song. I saw the Little River Band just a few weeks ago in a really small venue. Although some of original members are gone, the band still rocked and put on a great show.

[pharoe83]

This will still be a good song 50yrs from now..timeless

[johnwymanbgoode]

@pharoe83 amen

[The76stingray]

singer looks like Ron Howard

[somzsu42]

The best song on earth!

[redwonder]

ridiculously tasty guitar work...great tune.

[wsc800]

Great song, great band! I was an usher at the Universal Amphitheatre (Los Angeles) in 1980. "LRB" was one of the best, high energy groups to play the old "open top" Universal Amp. This was a concert you wanted to work!

[MrMikeb1958]

26 idiots 'dislike' this song? Seriously? Go back to your rap crap.

[africanroma]

@MrMikeb1958 why call rap crap, why you did not say rock(heavy Metal) I think you are racist.

[MrMikeb1958]

@africanroma I am a racist? I didn't say ANYTHING about a certain group of people. Nice try idiot and stop playing the 'race card' like your name.If you reread if you can I said "RAP CRAP". How does that make me a racist?

[Super70duster]

[bailey217769]

Heard this song on radio today & thought of you. Didnt listen to words really well but all I heard was night owl lol and thats what I call you lol. And it is little river band 1 of your favs. :D

[nineteescountree]

these guys are great, during an outdoor concert that i attended, a tornado warning and pouring rain cleared hundreds of people but i stayed in my car waiting for everything to pass. and no lie lrb played their entire concert for 20 of us standing in the rain, that was one special night.

[CoreaKixx420]

@nineteescountree Hey there, great comment. That reminds me of a night to remember as well, but minus the tornado. Elton John played at the CNE bandshell in Toronto in '86. The rains began about 20 min. before he stepped onto the stage. It rain hard for the nest 16 hrs. The papers read Torrential Flooding across the GTA. However....Elton, as you can imagine played for 2 and a half hrs. non stop.

[LUSCIOUS6599]

IM DEFINITELY A NIGHT OWL

[ThePadintor]

Wow, that Ron Howard can do it all. Act, direct, now sing & play bass.

[jrunberg]

"there's a bar right across the street....they got some beers i'm gonna drink."

[Jako32]

i actually found theur music to be very dark, depressing and dreaery. Though Rermisising, Cool Change and Other Guy are lightrer better songs

[JavaJoelRadio]

Why doesn't American "oldies" or classic hits radio play this? This was HUGE on the radio when I was 7. Big on rock/AOR radio too.

[smacky1599]

Great band. Great music

[Oneeyedoyster]

think the will ferrel references the movie "the other guys"

[1234roadking1]

guy drummin looks like he's shittn his pants

[tishtishx]

obsurd!!! i witnessed all the bands on this list in person !!!

[1badcrip]

kinda looks like ron howard

[Abbey7]

@1badcrip That is EXACTLY what I thought!

[athleticcajun]

True Classic!!

[WolfEdits]

Will Ferrel

[MsNj3000]

@WolfEdits that is so not will ferrell. How on earth could you possibly confuse the two?

[wildwolf4life]

never knew who sang this til right now. good tune.

[capeguy63]

Now that's how you sing!

[redwonder]

The perfect hard-pop tune...flawless!

[TheInvincibleViolet]

Highly underrated talent. Excellent musicianship.

[GereDJ2]

One of the best songs in Rock & Roll, period.

And they did it just as well live. Thank you LRB for leaving this up!

[allie2005eagle]

Love this song.

[SRIK1966]

Awesome

[mustangmatt63]

Great Song from a Very Under rated Band!! This song should have a LOT more views!!

[mikegeddykelly]

@mustangmatt63 Very well said. Real musicians, real music, written AND performed by the same people and overproduced for 6 years in a studio with more effects than music. The 70's had some awesome songs that will last more than a lifetime.

[Nunya84]

who is the lead singer here?

[tjhoenecke]

@Nunya84 And why he is giving oral to the microphone? Seriously, his lips are all over that thing! I guess maybe he just forgot his glasses or something....

[jonnyquest0407]

t.y. capt. nemo your right

[mom369222]

I remember The Little River Band, I loved, and still do love their songs

[Thegreendweeb]

this song remember me my high school days!McKnowell

[Thegreendweeb]

this song remember me my high school days!

[jonnyquest0407]

the man doing the guitar riff solos what is his name...someone please help...1 of my favorite songs all time...thanks l.r.b. for the memories

[CaptNemo100]

@jonnyquest0407 Well.....what you hear is the studio version with David Briggs on lead guitar; however, the person you see playing lead guitar in the video appears to be Steve Housden. I think by the time they made this video Briggs had left. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

[xSamDGK]

THIS MUSIC MAKES ME FEEL LIKE IM SHOPPING FOR A TRAINING BRA!!!! - the other guys

[ManTheMiracle]

@xSamDGK i am watchin the other guys right now lol

[gemdavey]

@xSamDGK Umm that's an interesting comparison lol. Great tune by LRB nevertheless.

[acee3030]

2:48-3:03...GREAT PART!



[emong1965]

all time favorites!

[GoldFusion100]

Awsome song

[jeepinjake23]

LRB baby they are the shit

[gravity461]

the greatest hit of 1981 

[Margaritha8439]

un video clasico muy bueno.........

[cheesearific1]

I grew up on this, im only 14 but whenever I was with my dad we'd always listen to this. I love the sound of the main chorus!!

[SUNVALLEYDAN]

I love this song ,it reminds me of when I was a kid ,it's great song still to sing along with.

[ElectricAquaBlue]

Awesome song, probably my favorite 80s song.

[freebean100]

Toll das es diese Musik noch gibt !!! Prima Song!!!

[Pachichin2012]

magnificent all members of the Australian band.

thanks for uploading your video.

[treedod]

@Pachichin2012

hell ya great song !

[dan7dees]

A perfect ten plus ten times ten to the tenth power!!!!!!!!!!

[redwonder]

This song kicks ass!

[beanolee9]

God...I saw them at the NY state fair way back in the early 90's....and believe me...they were just as good as they probably are to this day~! Rock on Little River Band...

[TheDapack]

I love "The Other Guys", only reason i'm here. GATOR NEEDS HIS GAT.

[robswift3]

No Jake, it always made YOU sad and depressed. Quit putting your emotions on everyone else lol!

[jakevanfan]

Hey I saw this band in concert in 1982. Thanks for sharing.

[Jako32]

i hate the LRB  they made p*ssy music that always made u sad and depressed. never anything upbeat etc...lol

[douglasnesbitt]

you need to fix this problem

[berthajoadams]

I love this song:) I always thought the lyrics were "...the heart of another calling..." which makes sense, but haha!

[feqqet]

I graduated high school in 1979, Little River Band had many chart toppers and was one of my fav's. Thanks for posting this video :-)

[THB79]

@feqqet Me too (79). I'll keep rockin' til they close the lid on the casket. Man we had some good music back then.

[Jako32]

god i remember hearing this ALL over the radio in NY Long Island as a kid. Their music alwyas made me super depressed and down. It wasnt upbeat or motivating in any way lol. The melody, production etc,..all just over the top and dark.. For some strange twisted reasn all the guidos from LI New York loved spinning this groups song all over the radio 24/7 lol!

[espectia41]

GOD!!! I LOVE THIS GROUP!!!!!

[beanolee9]

My sister & I were in the front row way back & saw them at the NY State Fair....they were FANTASTIC!

[bellaimages]

Perhaps the best band I've ever seen live! What struck me as amazing about the Little River Band was what skilled musicians they are. Their crew and them put on a show with the basics that blew away others I've seen that used more pyro and theatrical crap. These guys played great and used every bit of the staging to the max without the tricks so called "stars" use today! LRB = the real deal!

[bellaimages]

@bellaimages Oh by the way ... I saw them in the early 80's! Yea, I'm old! LOL

[lisakaylanemorris]

love this song. forgot all about it until I watched that movie the other guys with will ferrel who kept listening to LRB..LOL

[JAAPIOJO]

This is much better than the beatles

[GreatTheMe]

@JAAPIOJO 19 people are buttheads!!!

[Super70duster]

this guy is such a damn good singer,THE 80S ROCK

[Womanious]

My brother bought me this tape in 1981 on a trip abroad, I was 10 years old and the tape became one of my alltime favourites, I still love these songs!

[ReneeNme]

When music still had meaning. The 80's.

[bcrawfordj9]

@ReneeNme Don’t forget the “70s” Glad i was way old enough to actually enjoy them.

[ReneeNme]

@bcrawfordj9 Agreed. I was born in '61 and was lucky enough to enjoy 60's, 70's and 80's popular music when it was new. Compared to todays music ? I wouldn't trade my age for nothing in the world.

[snap1920]

two words.......bad boys.......cant fuck with the 80s......good tunes and when movies were movies......

[Kareem707]

this song should have a 100 times as much views !

[pharoe83]

love it----------------cobwebs



[hobbit151]

This shit is Badass!

[kirkles66]

damn! ritchie cunningham can sing his ass off

[singingman4u]

I Love The Old LRB, Awesome Music

[joediver1119]

watch the video. Glen Shorrock is in it.

[joediver1119]

the guy singing is not a replacemnet for either Glen Shorrock OR John Farnham. It's Wayne Nelson the groups bass player. Night Owls was the only song he sand. It just happened to be a hit

[MOLLYSKY1212]

Sorry,good song but this guy cant hold a candle to Glenn Shorrock and then he stole the name,%$#^%%$##!

[tslick57]

OMFG look at all the Nubs taht voted thumbs down , that makes me unhappy an that u dont wanna do , bunch of NIMRODS !

[wienerdogmom1]

How can anyone NOT love this band??!!!

[Super70duster]

the guy singing has a really good voice.i dont know his name,but glen is not the only 1 that has talent.love these guys...

[siasti]

@Super70duster I definitely agree that the guy has a great voice. I always thought it was John Farnham singing this song until I saw this video.

[spikeyboyfull]

joe miller is my grandfather

[3819darien]

good song. 

[3819darien]

[quininII]

@jonnyquest0407 same for me :)

[retropacgirl]

:) I just heard this on the radio:)

[prosteelheader]

18 people need to die!!!

[bibsbust]

I really like the song even when I was younger then. But it is only until now that I know that the band is from Australia. Timely because now we are in Australia, on vacation. I think Air Supply is an Australian-based band too.

[mothanahussein83]

I always got little river band loaded up here, i got 6 disks in here.

[mc5philly]

this song is 30 years old? OMG someone invent a machine to slow down time PLEASE

[jorologo]

One of the coolest aussie songs from the early 1980's.

LRB was able to write and perform songs that suited an Amercian and Australian Market.

They were a Talented all rounder on any world stage.

[peterp62]

ev´ry time I hear this song, I ask myself why LRB ever had another singer than wayne. He´s perfect

[MrCautatorul]

I would like to know the names of the members "LITTLE RIVER BAND"!!!

Thank you!!!

[rickyragoo]

One of my all time favorite song's from the 80/s nice nice tune, thx for uploading it .

[Sordidlives1973]

One of the greatest AOR classics of all time!

[sandystillblooms]

great band!!! really miss them...now they're on my playlists....thank you!

[13andrie]

there are 18 idiot here

[mustwinder]

Hah, reminds me of 6th grade, this song (and many others by LRB) was huge.

[HermioneNo1]

I have a NEED to rock'n'roll!!! I always will :-)

[ernakevin]

Great song.....so many years later and it still sounds amazing!

Erna

[Ladyitch]

Awesome song!~ this is what "music" should sound like! :)

[D7J7W7]

Good song! Had their greatest hits on cassette but it was stolen. Maybe the Other Guys can find the criminal for me..... speaking of criminals, it was criminal how that movie went from funny and promising in the beginning to horrible in the 2nd half...

[SaagNgaKalag666]

the best

[witch93188]

[mcgaheefamily]

The Greatest Harmony in any band

[rockingdownunder]

This song is timeless.....

[Raptor3400]

Is there no end to Ron Howard's talent!

[D7J7W7]

@Raptor3400 - ha ha, he can do it all!

[Goldclaw837]

I loved this group back in the day!!!

[1046rzac]

I was on the road with Bob Welch--we played with LRB in Washington state and flew together in a Beech Kingair over 14,000ft. mountains--Shorrock got up and did a bump & grind in the aisle--kept us al laughing like hell--never a thought about slamming into one of those mountains--funny guy, great band!

[joevs21001]

One of the best songs ever done by The Little River Band. I can remember those nights as a teenager in Daytona Beach, cruising the beach at night listening to "The Night Owls" on the radio as well as other Little River Band hits. It was a great time in life and I have so many fond memories of it.

[2ladylake]

I was 28 when this song came out. Love them lots! Good stuff man.

[chillyqueen16]
