John Farnham and Melbourne Symphony Orchestra - Playing to win Reaction
He is the greatest and most consistent master vocalist of all time
Oh also meant to say, a qualified vocal coach on RUclips said, “how does John jump up and down without loosing or changing the note he’s singing? I commented back, how does he bend over, scrunched up shaking hands singing and not miss a note - her reply, “I have no idea” lol
🤣
John actually wrote this song. Did well 🙃
an absolute banger
Great song!!
Yea
How great is he
let's keep going with the John Farnham journey
Farnsey could stand on his head and juggle 4 bowling pins and still hit every note with the same accuracy! His signature song and the one that really launched his career is You’re the Voice- I’d recommend the version from this same concert. ❤️
Hahaha Now that's what I'd like to see lol He must have enormous lungs to be able to still push out those incredible vocals... Love this reactor...he's good and always makes me smile lol
👍
Kappy, now that’s one way to explain John - Classic 😂👍
Yep, he’s definitely Mr Perfect.
@@bernadettelanders7306 and i really think he’d pull it off too!!
There's another one from this same concert, It's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll. It's a cover of an ACDC song. Epic!
Nice!
@Texas_Love IF you've noticed towards the end of that video a young woman ( but then could have been not too younger than adulthood } ran up on stage & hugged Mr John Farnham , which Farnsy gave a kiss on the cheek to for her efforts before she was rushed off stage by security while she was running back to her seat 💺. Some may say that counts as John Farnham committing infidelity in that moment BUT he's a VERY faithful , loving family man . He only has feelings for his wife Jill who he met while they were young working in Melbourne Australia in the musical " Pipin " . You can find in other performance videos he's done with other female singers like Kylie Minogue and Olivia Newton John where he shows affection towards them BUT he's never had any romance with them . ♑️✍️🇸🇯🇦🇺
This is the song I ran on the stage to and got a big cuddle and a kiss from John. I will never, ever forget that moment.
Legit lucky you.....that was one hell of a concert
Love the visual of a “power mullet”!! 😂🤟🏼
🤣🤘🤘
Another huge hit for John, actually all his songs were and so iconic. We just love him here. He is recovering from surgery for cancer which was successful but he will never sing again which is sad. Love your reactions.
Thank you, many prayers for John🙏 What a great talent
Farnsy's 🔥
The Whole Performance & Show 👌👍🏻✌🤜🏼🤛🏼
👏👏👏👏👏
So much energy. I've always been amazed how he can sing with such power, bending over jumping up and down, tossing mike stands across the stage and into the air and never missing a beat... perfect.
David Hershfelder on the Keytar. Was also the musical director for this whole concert. He put together the arrangements for the orchestra as well. He had been with John since 1982 in Little River Band times so he knew exactly how John worked to be able to bring this all together. He is a brilliant and multi award winning musical score writer now ...some movies like Australia with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, Shine with Geoffrey Rush, Water Diviner with Russell Crowe...the Dressmaker with Kate Winsley.
You will begin to see why John's concerts and albums where so good. The talent he had on his team became some of the best Australia ever had. I'd like to think John had something to do with getting them there. David moved on in the 90's and Chong Lim took over. JOHN Apparently is one of the nicest men to work for. For the majority of his team to stay with him for over 30-40 years says a lot.
You need to check out something from another concert next
Maybe Chain Reaction from the Chain Reaction Concert. Another high energy performance which no doubt will end up on your workout playlist 😜
Carolyn, I was gonna add some info on David but after reading your synopsis I'll just pull my feathery head in and enjoy your fine work. Nice one.
@@mrmockatoo6786 your turn next time. There's a lot more to David's story isn't there. There are all these super talented people behind the scenes on Farnsey's team and David is a perfect example.
It's a TOTAL movie montage song - you hit the nail on the head with that description. Watching your eyes dart back and forth taking it all in was fun to see - there's so much going on in this one. My favourite part in this performance (besides John of course) is when the conductor spins in a circle with a happy grin on his face. Everyone was feeling it big time :D
same here - he is having an absolute ball - it shows in Long Way to the Top also.
@@alimac1469 yes! I always notice him...he especially appreciated rocking out in that one too I think. Makes me so happy :)
John in this concert is such a sight to see in this environment!! Great showmen!
@@Texas_Love in the pre-show video, he called this the concert of his life, as well as teasing the keyboardist, David Herschfelder, for having a better jacket than the boss.
@@Texas_LoveJohn Farnham being a born showman ( just like your Ricky Martin ) is what my Mum would always say when driving us ( me & her ) home after every concert we went to { in Australia } . Yes , this song would be 💯% Perfect for the next Fast and Furious sequel . ♑️✍️🇸🇯🇦🇺
Loved your reaction to this, yeahhhhh. and I would suggest you follow up with,
John Farnham and Melbourne Symphony Orchestra - Its A Long Way To The Top
which will be another one to add to your workout list lol....enjoy, coz this is Epic !
Thank you! Long way to the top coming soon!!
@@Texas_Love whooo hooooo lol. Looking forward to that
John is awesome and he has so much fun doing what he loves legend
We need more key-tar in our lives!!😂 Such energy in this one!
Johns voice is incredible . Freddy Mercury said he was one of the best singers he had ever heard , Tom Jones said he had the best live voice he had heard to so you cant get much higher praise . Johns version of Black dog ,then all the way around to Touch of paradise and his duet with Olivia Newton John , Please dont ask me , shows just how diverse he can be .
If you like fast stepping workout songs have a look for the Divinyls ,All the boys. That will get you pumping.
Will do, thank you!
Yes just love that 'Keytar' thingy that the guy was playing too. He plays it again in Long Way to the Top (if ya wanna rock n roll) The whole band gets to run around the stage lol. I think this would have been the most amazing time for the Symphony Orchestra...lol Texas you're quickly becoming my fav reactor..lol
Thank you! I love this Epic Aussie Rock!🤘🤘
You used my montage/ training analogy for a comeback fight! Haha, now 'angels' live with Lisa in 2000 👍🏼 you'll love it.
🤣 I can't wait to hear it!
Even the conductor is going off having an awesome time
Absolutely brilliant concert, I thought well it can’t get any better than this, That was till I watched It’s a long way to the top
If you would like to see another side of John try Love’s in Need or Please Don’t Ask Me with Olivia Newton John or Angels that he sings with back up singer Lisa Edwards. There is also his comedy opera song called Granada with Anthony Warlow. The list is endless. I will appreciate any that you react to.
Thanks for reacting to John. U should check out Your the Voice from the same concert. ❤️❤️
I will soon!! Can't wait!
Texas, you’re incredibly perceptive. Yes, John performs perfectly and he’s such a nice bloke. Your lovely better half might like John’s “Burn for you”. It’s a really pretty love song. You’re right about Playing to Win sounding like a motivational montage. It reminds a bit of Eye of the Tiger from the Rocky movies, haha.
John is awesome, I wish I could have seen him live!! This is a really fun song!
so proud of John Farnham here in Australia. He is amazing in concert. I've seen him perform live well over 20 times. He never disappoints. thanks for discovering and reacting to him
I love looking at your smiling face with your reaction to our John, such joy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The guitarist plays the keytar with his face(!) in It's a Long Way to the Top (if you wanna rock'n'roll), my favourite from the same concert. You would love it.
You're The Voice should be the next on the list , cheers mate
That is a keytar, it also works like a synthesiser, can sound like bagpipes among other things.
Farnsey!!! Golden pipes... amazing singer!!! Vince Leigh (Pseudo Echo) on drums. Good reaction video. Thanks, Mr. Texas Love 💖💖💖🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Farnham is one of Australia's favorite Britons.
thats David Hirschfelder you see on that little Keytar. I think he was primarily the one responsible for Composing the orchestra's involvement. He did tonnes of Movie Scores over the years as well for lots of well known movies. He later left to focus on movies, series and TV advertisments.
He was replaced by the equally talented and gifted Keyboardist and Composer, Chong Lim who still worked with john till his last concert and gigs.
The keyboard instrument is a keytar. I'm always amazed that John can be running, jumping or folded in half trying to reach people and still hit notes with power and sustain the volume & control. Amazing. In the same concert the MSO has a lot of fun duelling with the band for "It's a Long Way to the Top if You Wan't to Rock & Roll", you look like you're a natural smiler.
The song, 'A Long Way To The Top,' ( as done by AC/DC- but better!) is another one performed by John, in a similar tempo. Remember to always see and hear John LIVE and in concert, where his Soul shines.
He has a full time soul shiner, Barney...or is that shoe shiner? I always get those two confused because of the sole/soul thing. Cheep/cheap joke.
@@mrmockatoo6786 Oh, Mr. Mockatoo, you are my sole/soul sauce/source of cheep/cheap sock-at you/mock -at-, too ribs and digs !!!
@@barnowl5774 Puntastic work my fine-feathered friend. Your end of year report will reflect well upon your progress through a turbulent year of willy-willys, willy wagtails and willy/won't hes.
It just goes to show how powerful Johns voice is. His voice rises above everything else that going on in this video.
My sons school played this at his graduation as all the kids walked out it was Epic. My son was prob thinking how did this old old song from mums playlist make it 😂😂😂. It def should have been on a movie soundtrack !❤
You realise when you're done with John and Jimmy you will have to listen to The Angels, Midnight Oil, INXS, Noiseworks, Screaming Jets, Baby Animals, Choirboys Rose Tattoo, Powderfinger.....the list goes on
😄 yes ...but it will take years for him to get through everything on offer from John and Jimmy
I can't wait!!🤘🤘
We proud of Farnsey in Australia - he's the best 💕
John Farnham AC/DC along way to the top with Melbourne symphony orchestra
Also led zeppelin black dog
You'll love these from him it shows you his power and versatility
Notice voice doesn’t change while he’s bent over shaking hands with the audience? How many singers can maintain PERFECT vocal control with their diaphragm doubled over?
John did a concert series with Olivia Newton John and Anthony Warlow (Anthony is an Australian Opera singer who was once the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera) called the Main Event back in the ‘90’s and one of the songs in Granada that John And Anthony duel to. The RUclips video is called Anthony Warlow Hi Art. Keep a watch of Anthony’s feet about 1:20 into the video as he moonwalks!!
Nice! Looking forward to it!
yep you got the pronunciation of Melbourne correct! ps. re UFC walkout songs, I dont think you'll hear Tai Tuivasa walking out to this one lol. The 'piano guitar' is called a keytar
🤣🤣 Yeah, lol, our boy Tai may be a little too raw! I can see a montage of him doing shoe-ees and knocking people out with this music in the background!🤣
This is fantastic! I’m going to have check out UFC now. Thanks! I googled him and man, he’s a big boy! I reckon I’d have to hit in in the kidneys or take his kneecaps out. 😳 I need to get into this now and find out the rules. 😃
@@Laraine3 lol, Tai Tuivasa is well known for his walkout songs, like Titanic/Celine Dions "My Heart Will Go On", Spice Girls "Wannabe", Cindy Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", "I'm A Barbie Girl" etc, he doesn't need any "macho" songs like Eye Of The Tiger. He's a crowd pleaser with Aussie sense of humor! search youtube for "Tai Tuivasa walkout"
@@DaveWhoa haha, that’s so cool. I like his style. I’m looking forward to exploring him. 😃
EXCITING is a great description for this clip thankyou I love it, over n over n over
Everybody on stage and in that audience is having a good time, this is motivational this song and you can't help the deal the mood in this song.
It makes me so very happy seeing the smile in your eyes when you watch our beloved John Farnham. I was lucky enough to be the right age to see him with his own band many many years back at a club which was small, and there were tables you sat at with your drink from the bar. And you had to kind of know someone to get in,. He sounded greater than great then and still does in this. But also he was just a lovely guy. Send prayers for his recovery. Happy Christmas x
Love the big smile on your dial through the whole song😅
He just made that girl's night!
ive had the pleasure of seeing john in concert at least 5 times in Sydney and at this concert in Melbourne and he is this good
Texas, it’s funny, it doesn’t seem like 80s to me, like old stuff. To me and maybe others it’s just our John 💞
EXCELLENT pronunciation of Melbourne (I grew up in greater Melbourne).
Good to see your reaction to music. I am of the late 50/60's music. Even at my age, I still love music. Bee Gee's still my favorite. Barry's recent albums are good too.
Another great song is John Farnham - Black dog (Led Zeppelin cover). This was John's sound check and warm up song for him and his band. This truely proves that John can sing anything. Keep up the great work
Thanks, I will check it out!
The best of the best I love this song , and while he's recovering and rehab at home he needs to remember the name of this song, after his surgery this is a very empowering title to apply to his health at the moment.
We our so proud to call John our own. The country was crushed to hear of his recent cancer diagnosis. His subsequent surgery which thankfully was a success but we are saddened to know that he’ll probably never sing again 😢 This song was one of his biggest hits when he joined the Little River Band
On my playlist 🇦🇺
I think you'd appreciate John's performance with one of his back-up singers, Lisa Edwards [who had a career in her own right], it shows his sense of humour. He tries to put her off her game [an inside joke], he tries so hard to make her laugh before they start. He is middle aged in this one and the voice is as always, fabulous : ruclips.net/video/5_2NJRIdBO8/видео.html
I think if I worked out to this song I would drop dead from a coronary.
John penned this anthem whilst fronting Little River Band; story goes he was busting for his big break, he felt it was just within his grasp but noone taking his solo prospects seriously, and this song was a throw-down to the industry and himself that he meant business! it was make-or-break time!
That's a Keytar that muso is playing. The hairstyle is a Mullet and in England, a Froffa, I believe.
If you are into love ballads, check out John Farnham and Olivia Newton John sing Please Don't Ask Me from The Main Event Concert. John just loves to play around with the mic stand, in You're The Voice from this concert he throws it into the air catches it and then tosses it across the stage and finally foot flips and grabs it back up.
Its a keytar. Not joking! Sooooooooooo 80s but so good!
JF and Olivier Newton John
Please don’t ask me
From the main event
Trust me, the other side of John.
Couldn’t get any more eighties than this 😅
We have some kick-ass Australian female rockers back then as well. Try The Divinyls or The Baby Animals, both lead by women with amazing voices. Your channel is growing fast, great work! 👍
The song makes perfect sense to his story.
John made a start in the 60’s had a few hits and basically lost everything. His manager in the 80’s basically re mortgaged his home to take a chance to get JF back… both had no choice but to make it work…. They did.
JF is one of the best Aussie singers of all time and an inspiration to those that are at rock bottom.
Whispering jack best album ever!!!!!
Yep. I’m Dead. 😂
Was there it was electric
Awesome!!
Hello one again, can you please react to the Tesky Brothers song (Rain) a colours show. The Teskey Brothers are also good friends of Jimmy Barnes Josh Teskey and Jimmy did a song to gether. But can you please react to the Teskey Brothers (RAIN) thank you.
They are coming soon! Thank you!
The Keytar was quite literally created to allow the poor keyboardist to get out and around the stage to rock out with everyone else.
❤❤what can you say about this legend ❤❤❤
It's called a keytar.
Can you please react to Lisa stansfield
One of the best soul singers in the world 🌎 ❤
It is so, so sad that Americocentricity has prevented Americans from hearing, not just John, but all the other Australian artists that have left this kind of effect on the world. Have you heard Jimmy Barnes and John doing 'When Something Is Wrong With My Baby'? Did you know Tommy Emmanuel, another Aussie, is the world's best ever acoustic guitar player? Take a look at his version of Classical Gas. I guarantee you will still have your mouth open when Tommy's finished.
Watching the grin on your face, as an aussie watching an american, pure gold. glad you like some of our hidden gems.
