Little River Band with "Reminiscing"

Experience the smooth, sophisticated harmonies of Little River Band as they perform their global smash hit, "Reminiscing," live on The Midnight Special.
Performance Details:
Originally broadcast on August 22, 1978, this performance captures the band at the exact moment they became the first Australian group to achieve sustained multi-platinum success in the United States. Filmed at NBC’s Burbank studios, this appearance features the classic lineup that defined the "L.R.B." sound, delivering a masterclass in vocal precision and effortless soft-rock groove.
About the Song:
Released in June 1978 as the second single from the album Sleeper Catcher, "Reminiscing" is the ultimate Yacht Rock anthem. Written by the band’s rhythm guitarist Graeham Goble and delivered with a soulful, crooning lead by Glenn Shorrock, the song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Goble wrote the track in just thirty minutes, intending it to be a tribute to the "romantic era" of Glenn Miller and Cole Porter—a vibe perfectly captured by the song’s lush chord changes and nostalgic lyrics.
A Musical Legacy:
"Reminiscing" is one of the most frequently played songs in radio history, famously earning a BMI award for over five million airplays. It even had some legendary fans: John Lennon reportedly cited it as one of his favorite songs of the late 70s, often listening to it while living at the Dakota in New York. This live 1978 version showcases the tight musical telepathy between the band members that allowed them to recreate their complex studio layers perfectly on stage.
