Little River Band - One Night In Mississippi - Live (2002)

A live recording from 2002, ONE NIGHT IN MISSISSIPPI.

Recorded live at River Palace Entertainment Center, Sam's Town Casino, Tunica, MS.

It features the Little River Band’s biggest hits, performed by a line-up bereft of all of the group’s principals from its 1970s hit-making era. Despite the lack of key original members, the combo sounds tight and polished, delivering note-perfect versions of soft rock classics “Reminiscing” and “Lonesome Losers” that come quite close to matching the originals’ smooth vibrancy. 

While some listeners may miss the distinctive lead vocals of Glenn Shorrock, ONE NIGHT IN MISSISSIPPI showcases the early-aughts version of the Little River Band at its polished best. 

This recording from 2002 finds the then current version of the band doing a mix of LRB hits and newer tunes taken from their 2000 release "Where We Started From". Overall the level of musicianship and vocals is extremely high reminiscent of the band at the peak of their success, some 20 years before.

The title of the recording, perhaps unintentionally, points to the very origins of the Little River Band which evolved out of a group called "Mississippi". The recording itself documents a band on tour allowing the audience on the recording (as well as the listener at home) to enjoy the sound and music of the Little River Band.

If you want to hear the original tunes done by the original line-up then put on an LRB Greatest Hits recording. If you want to hear the tunes you know (and some new ones thrown in for good measure) performed live to some very high standards then this recording fits the bill.

While it can be argued its not the original LRB line-up performing, it still sounds like the Little River Band we all know and it helps to keep their music alive and relevant for a whole new generation.
