	LRB/Frey review
		Little River Band's opening night performance at World Expo '88 was a stunning tribute to past achievements and a bellwether of future success.
		Special guest Glenn Frey (ex-Eagles) told the 20,000-strong audience he was honored playing with ''the best singing band in the world." The 100-minute offering from the lineup of old and more recent LRB members lent credibility to the emotional and broad claim.
		Future concerts could be even better witbout the constraints of Expo's curfew and tv telecast ad break schedules.
