The lady is Lisa Edwards, a long-time back-up singer for John and a recorded singer in her own right. John always gives appreciation and credit and spotlights his talented musicians who support him. As to the 'light' of John, if you look at his discography many of his songs, in different ways, have a message for the greater good for the world. I believe John to be a spiritually- oriented, but not necessarily religious, person. His Soul shines in concert. I don't think we will ever see John sing or put on a concert again. He has had part of his jaw removed from the operation on cancer and has to learn to talk through his mouth again. Thanks to You Tube the world can still be introduced to and enjoy John Farnham's brilliant and joyful gift to the world. May the healing angels be with John on his road to recovery.
Look how low he holds his microphone so his voice doesn’t drown out Lisa’s voice. His voice is so strong. Lisa knows when he breathes etc so they are n perfect harmony. You are right that us die hard fans worship him.
Another classic example of John's exemplary microphone technique. He is so good at knowing how far away he needs to hold his microphone so as not to either drown out other singers and/or his microphone with his prodigious power that he would need minimal 'mixing adjustment' from the console during songs etc. It's amazing to watch.
For those that don't know, she's been one of his backup singers for many many years. It's not *just* the harmonies, but... the timing. So precise and clean.
Yes he is our Icon , I'm about same age as him and he has been there most of my life and it is awesome to watch people now discovering him and remind us how great he is !
Lisa Edwards is Johns long term back up singer & friend. There was a guitarist that once said "John Farnham is God showing off" I tend to agree with him. Thanks for another great reaction to our man.
I love that comment about God showing off in John's talent! In my comments I have pointed out that John's Soul (the higher, abstract, mental mind, and mediator between personality and Spirit) shines in concert. John's goodwill messages in the songs he sings demonstrate this.
Thanks heaps for reacting to my request much appreciated brother. Awesome reaction to this performance I knew you would like it, he’s the ultimate performer and a powerhouse vocalist / comedian lol
Great request George. Lovely reaction Blade Runner. One of the things we all love about John is his humility. He doesn't even realise how special he is. He always make sure he gives everyone in his band and opportunity to shine. He has even sang as back up singer on his back up singers albums. Once Stevie Nicks toured with John Farnham. People watched John Farnham Perform and the left before Stevie had finished her set...she complained and said the she didn't realise she was performing with the Frank Sinatra of Australia. She changed the order of appearance and started going on first and shortened John's set. So people came late...poor lady.
The way John can sing live and be in so tune is just amazing!! He never misses a beat. And not forgetting Lisa of course. Harmonies amazing. This one was an ear orgasm lmao Thanks, Anthony :)
Doesn't matter whether it's an 80-piece orchestra, or a stripped-down acoustic. John ALWAYS delivers. And don't overlook Lisa. She's been with him for years, and is an outstanding vocalist.
John did a NYE gig at a local footy oval in a country town of 30,000 that I happened to live in, at the the time was at the peak of his powers. Could have sold out an arena, but took his music to the people also.
Yes, being at a Farnsey concert is a ten-fold lift even on a video. I have been to concerts from Bruce Springsteen, Meatloaf, Neil Diamond, Cat Stevens, Bette Midler, Elton John, to name a few, but I have only been at one that came close to John in concert, and that was Simon and Garfunkel.
Just another great 'match up' with John. Lisa a great singer in here own right. Whoever John teams up with, there is magic..Eveyone knows John is a 'jokester'/mucks around but there is TRUE MATESHIP & RESPECT AS EQUALS. No diva/competition behaviour. As you may notice with Johns collaborations & concerts, other performers/musicians work WITH John...Not FOR John. Even his audiences play an important role (Not just ticket sales). Everyone there complements eachother. And loving your down to earth reactions as usual bud. 👍👍😁 On a personal note.Thank you for reading/acknowledging my posts..I truely dont expect it. So another👍👍from me😁 Take care n stay safe. DD
John always tries to make Lisa laugh so she can't sing [ prankster] and that is what the goofing around is about...........she gets him back, too. This shows you his personality more.
He's had surgery to remove cancer and had to have part of his jaw removed. We don't know if he will be able to sing again. He is now 74, the singer was Lisa Edwards, one of his backing singers.
There is another night that was also recorded, that she managed to get back at him and she actually managed to stitch him up and he couldn't stop laughing during the concert. Took him awhile to get himself under control. :) Lisa Edwards had her own career before joining him, like all the rest of them, and she is actually as skilled and as powerful as he is. Her belts are on par with his when she gets going.
Who's the lady? I had to laugh. In the clip John was telling you who the lady was at the same time you came in with "Well, there you have it" 🤪. Timing is everything. Farnsey often recognises his fellow performers at the end of songs being the class act he is. You will see Lisa Edwards, along with Venetta Fields and Lindsay Field, as backing singers in most of his performances. Don't stress too much about the recommendations. Just make a list and work your way through them as time permits. The longer it takes means we can spend more time in anticipation! Make sure you have "Granada" (ruclips.net/video/K6uxFKmCXB8/видео.html) and "Amazing Grace" (ruclips.net/video/6danLkCJoFI/видео.html) on your list, the later show cases the above mentioned Venetta and Lindsay up front.
As for content...if you can't keep up, then something has to go. I'd be thinking hard about what you and your channel stands for and heading in that direction. For some, it's sharing their own musical discovery (so only do stuff you don't know), for others its bringing new content to an existing audience (if most subscribers are non-Australian, then Australian content ticks that box, as its largely unknown to the rest of the world). If its purely about likes, subscribers and income...then stick with Angelia Jordan and Home Free's greatest covers (do either of them actually record original music?). If you want to please everyone...find more hours in the day!!!

As John would say, kwoooorrrrr
It never ceases to amaze me how far he holds the mic away from his mouth.
Look how low he holds his microphone so his voice doesn’t drown out Lisa’s voice. His voice is so strong. Lisa knows when he breathes etc so they are n perfect harmony. You are right that us die hard fans worship him.
Another classic example of John's exemplary microphone technique.

As per her singing teacher: I had to take my daughter to see John in concert for his microphone technique 😅
For those that don't know, she's been one of his backup singers for many many years. It's not *just* the harmonies, but... the timing. So precise and clean.
The lady who was singing “Angels” with John, is Lisa Edwards. She has been one of John’s backup singers for many years
Such a beautiful song, their voices are amazing in this. How John goes effortlessly from joking around to singing so beautifully is amazing.
Yes he is our Icon , I'm about same age as him and he has been there most of my life and it is awesome to watch people now discovering him and remind us how great he is !

I don't care if that's made up, it's right.
@@jeremykothe2847 its not made up. It was Tommy Emmanuel & Im pretty sure he said it on the 25year anniversary show on John.
@@debb7482 That's awesome. any chance you have a link to it?
I found this of them performing together: ruclips.net/video/f0ltrx4poRE/видео.html
Nice one George, a beautiful duet with Lisa Edwards and our very goofy John showing his sense of humour. Thanks Anthony 💕
Thanks heaps for reacting to my request much appreciated brother. Awesome reaction to this performance I knew you would like it, he’s the ultimate performer and a powerhouse vocalist / comedian lol
Thanks George!! Top suggestion. Cheers, Barb
Great suggestions

Love this performance and you can see that Lisa is well used to him and his sense of humour.
When Jomn sings when the war is over he mentions Lisa with he new baby

Thankyou another one of my favourites
Lisa is always standing in the line-up of backing vocalists in 99% of John's live performances.
You now need to listen to his version of Amazing Grace with Vanetta Fields and Lindsay Field, also 2 of his backing singers.
He's such a dag!,, love it
Just another great 'match up' with John. Lisa a great singer in here own right. Whoever John teams up with, there is magic..Eveyone knows John is a 'jokester'/mucks around but there is TRUE MATESHIP & RESPECT AS EQUALS. No diva/competition behaviour.

Take care n stay safe. DD
There is a statue. Of him at docklands.
I have seen other reactors say he is a alien lol One of the worlds great if not the greatest vocalist of all time.
Amazing Grace with Vendetta field his back up singer
PS. who would believe Farnsey was such a big smoker!!
John always tries to make Lisa laugh so she can't sing [ prankster] and that is what the goofing around is about...........she gets him back, too. This shows you his personality more.

You should look at he amazing grace with other back up singer's venetta fields and Lindsay fields it as good if not better
John is a Aussie larrikin
Loves to do jokes and have fun with the crowd
Love this❤
I sub to anyone that reacts to this performance. It's one of a kind.
Who's the lady? I had to laugh. In the clip John was telling you who the lady was at the same time you came in with "Well, there you have it" 🤪. Timing is everything. Farnsey often recognises his fellow performers at the end of songs being the class act he is.

Timing is everything! LMAO you are so right! :)thanks for the support
John always tries to make her laugh to put her off, but she's a consummate professional, like John, even when he plays the fool.
She is so professional,that he is trying to put her off. There is a clip, where she does it to him and he is laughing so much he cant sing.

I appreciate your input but the only thing that I need more hours in a day or give things up for is my wife and family not RUclips 👍🏻😉
@@BladeRunnermedia So glad to hear it!
