"Recorded live in Melbourne during the summer (Winter in the U.S.!) of 2003, this legendary stage appearance by the original founding members of Little River Band is truly a gem. And this version is even better than the PAL format release over a year ago, as the DVD US release version in NTSC has been totally remixed, thus the digital 5:1 experience is just outstanding. Glenn Shorrock (The Voice!), Beeb Burtles and Graham Goble really outshine in this formadible live concert performance which lasts over 2 hours! Let's hope they come to the U.S. tour circuit after this much anticipated release, which hopefully will include the entire cast members of this concert, most particularly, their young guitar player, Simon Hosford which really outshines. So much that even CorsusMex has rated him the best new player in Guitar Player magazine just a while back. In Widescreen, multiple cameras, 5:1 re-mastered audio, it's a real masterpiece of live performance. Enjoy it America!"
BSG=LRB

"As the old song says, "Ain't nothing like the real thing," and BSG are most definintely the real thing. The three singing/writing maestros behind the great songs and albums of Little River Band's glory days have reunited for this live disc, and time has not diminished their magic together. As great as BSG themselves are, their band is equally impressive, especially guitarist Simon Hosford and multi-instrumentalist Dorian West. These guys know how to spot talent.
If you're a fan of LRB's heyday (1977-1982), or you only know the new lineup that plays county fairs and backyard barbecues, you must treat yourself to Full Circle. This is the true LRB sound.

Great album!

"What a refreshing album this is! To hear the original voices of the Little River Band sing their original songs is great! They sound better than ever, and their backup band is excellent. Makes me miss this kind of music even more, given the state of music today. Wish they would tour this country, and make new music!
Highlights are the a cappella "Full Circle", "Mistress of Mine", "Cool Change", and "Help Is On Its Way".
Very highly recommended!"
This is the REAL Little River Band

"You know that other band who is using the name Little River Band????? Well.....they're a joke....They're nothing more than an overrated cover band....travelling around posing as the famous band who had written some of the greatest rock songs in history...They may have written songs...but none have been as timeless as what the original LRB recorded.
This is the REAL LRB ....Birtles...Shorrock...Goble....they were the songwriting team that penned all those great memorable tunes that catapulted LRB to fame in the first place. They were also the 3 artists who paid their dues climbing up the recording industry ladder of success....not some latecmers who landed in a band who was already world renowned....and latched onto their name and reputation....I would call that identity theft to the highest degree.
On this CD...you will hear those unmistakably tight vocal harmonies that made LRB who they were. The backup musicians are incredibly talented and versatile. Every song here is performed to perfection and lives up to the high standards as they were originally recorded.
You wont go wrong with this CD."

"Birtles Shorrock Goble ? Who! Well they where the people who started the Little River band (LRB). They have got back together and sound just as fantastic as the did back in their LRB days. There band sounds like there studio recordings and the songs have stayed the test of time.I have had it playing for over a week in the car. I Just saw them live in concert and they are Fantastic! The CD Captures the feel of the concert. I love it and if you love LRB I'm sure you will too.
The big difference between the Aussie version of Full Circle and the US version is it has totally remixed! Great CD buy it!"
