I was 16 years old (1976) when this song dropped. On my way to work, listening to the radio, this song was playing, and I had to pull to the side of the road to get good reception. I was late for work because this music was more important to me than my job. ha ha! (I didn't lose my job, thank goodness). Thanks, guys, for your superb reactions! LRB and INXS were two great Australian bands that I still listen to today.

This was stunning when I first heard it on FM radio in 1976-77, an 8 minute epic on their DEBUT album!! I also was shocked to find out they were from Australia!! I could have sworn they were midwest or even Southern jam rock. An FM RADIO CLASSIC.

Gentlemen, the guitar player playing all the leads and solo is Ric Formosa. There is an interview with him on KZfaq and he explained that he had the flu and when they recorded this song, it was done on one take. He said if he did it right the first time he could go home because he was sick....... Wow... right?

One of my favorite bands! In 1973 to 1977, I was 8 to 12 years old; just starting my journey into music and appreciating it! In 1970 my first group was Chicago and their album Chicago 2, they are extremely important to me!, Eagles (Debut in 1972.) Then came: Spyro Gyra(Jazz) Catching The Sun album, Little River Band Band (Sleeper Catcher), George Benson (Weekend In L.A.), Boston(Debut album in 1976), Kansas(Leftoverture), Styx ( Grand Illusion in 1977), Player Debut in 1977, Toto(Debut in 1978), R.E.O. Speedwagon (You Can Tune A Fish...album in 1978) Ambrosisia (Life Beyond LA in 1978), ACDC (Highway To Hell album in 1979 and Back in Black in 1980), Rush (Permanent Waves in 1980), and Journey (Departure in 1980.) Great start to my music collection! MTV first aired August 1st, 1981 where I learned about newer artists( some I liked some I didn't) All in all a great dive onto music! Little River Band, phenomenal!

You can't go wrong with this banger of an Australian band absolutely fantastic all of their music I love them to bits. Great harmonising. Full of great rhythm! You need to keep going down this rabbit hole for sure. Glenn Shorrock the singer is absolutely fire!!!!!! He has been around a long time. He was in the group Axiom, they had some great songs back in the day "My Baby's Gone" "Arkansas Grass" "Little Ray of Sunshine" fantastico!!!!! Will always listen to them I grew up listening to them from their early days to recents. A very big fan of theirs for sure!
