This version of LRB is touring around here in the US, but without Glenn Shorrock, I can't call them LRB. I'd seen the original LRB in the mid 70's and what a great sound they put out. I guess it's like the new Journey with there lead singer redoing their old songs. I should give the new LRB a listen before I say more.
Thanks. :)

Only on stage were they "together." Regular changes in the back line only contributed to the tensions. During one break between American tours, Graham Goble started writing and producing an album for Australian pop legend John Farnham. He then agitated the band to replace Glenn Shorrock with Farnham. Australia pricked up its ears, but America was in shock. This still-successful band was replacing the singer of all their big hits with an unknown! Farnham walked straight into the recording studio to record The Net. More lineup changes followed, including the departure of Beeb Birtles.
And yet the story continues. For a while drummer Derek Pellicci mounted Little River Band tours with a lineup including Glenn Shorrock. When Glenn didn't want to meet one particular schedule due to other commitments, he was sacked, resulting in unpleasant legal action. Then Pellicci also gave it away, and today there's an LRB lineup living and working in America, still featuring those latecomers Wayne Nelson and Steve Housden. |
