Enjoy. Just another of a bevy of bands that don't measure up to the level of sheryl crow rrhof greatness.

They tell you one thing. The truth is the other thing.

Fantastic song. Glenn Shorrock is one of the most underrated vocalists in rock. I didn’t care for LRB after he left.

“Cool Change” was the first song of theirs I heard. Was more than a decade before I learned they were Australian.

LRB was really popular for a few years then just disappeared.

It really is a great song. Lady is still #1 for me, but this is fantastic.

That's a tribute band that stole the name.

Those were the days they had fabulous use of instruments in their music.

A group I loved then and now.

Got free tickets for “Chicago” some 15 years ago thinking they’d be lame. Boy was I wrong - they kicked everybody’s asses with their awesome catalogue and obvious love for the songs despite playing them so long. Old geriatrics and tattooed punkers grooving together, cats and dogs getting along...magical!

As long as you understand going in that it’s a “Tribute Band”, that’s fine.

Apparently “The Guess Who” are touring with no original members, and Burton Cummings is suing to get them to stop using the name.

The Live Version with Symphony Orchestra, much better than the studio version IMHO
