What an awesome comparison, would've never made that connect. Wish like heII LRB had hired an attorney back then, and had all the legal docs done up so that they each had part ownership of LRB, instead of NOBODY having ownership!! How annoying. Today if you see LRB Live, NONE of the guys in this video are part of the band...that is pure craziness!! Usually the Guitarist or Singer has control of a band, but not in this case. A good lesson to be learned...

When I enjoy LRB the first track is this work of art! My recently departed older brother Michael A. Orosz introduced me at 12 yrs old. When remodeling our home in San Diego with our father Michael would crank this up on his stereo in his room and direct the loudspeakers into our neighborhood as we both worked. Our friendly neighbors enjoyed All of the wonderful sounds, he really turned it up. Thank you Michael with fond memories as young men together as brothers forever.❤

I remember buying that cassette with the girl on the cover, and popping it into the tape player of my 1969 Mustang convertible, 302/4 spd stick......that thing would HAUL A## -from 70mph Anyway, back to my LRB story. I'm on the MASS-PIKE 90 heading East for my afternoon classes in Boston. Back then they had a Toll Booth, so you'd have to slow down, throw in your change, then stab the gas. So everyday I'd throw in two quarters, then be reaching for 2nd gear just as the song hit 1:02 ............ Still gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. That was the first year I fell in love...Prettiest girl I've ever seen...Pretty sure she loved my taste in music and Pop Culture .)

As always their harmonies are spot on. I had a tape of LRB, their greatest hits, and whenever I went on long drives it would get played over and over. What's a tape you ask, well it was the first format that could be played in cars aside from the radio, just after the dinosaurs became extinct and just before the CD. What's a CD🤔🤣

I was the new keyboard player with the Air Force rock band and we were picking songs for the next tour. I wanted to do this song but got push back from the other guys because LRB didn't really have "massive" hits (and I was the new guy). But once we tried it in rehearsal it felt and sounded great. We opened our show with this song as it was peaking on the radio and the place erupted like we were the Beatles or something! Saw LRB in Colorado about 10-12 years later and their sound was pristine. They're just so musical!
