The haunting sounds of the saxophone towards the end with all John’s power on display … no words can describe our love of him. The entire concert is perfection and the inclusion of bagpipes in “Your the Voice” sets it apart from everyone else.

    You have just discovered an Australian national treasure John Farnham , Farnsey as he is known by all Aussies has been entertaining millions of fans since he started his career in the late 60s as a teenager . He toured America as the front man of The Little River Band but didn't like being away from his family and country . His biggest hit worldwide was YOUR THE VOICE which you will probably know when you hear it . Reacting to an Australian artist has opened a door to a host of extremely talented artists you might not have heard of , but its a fact that we punch above our weight when it comes to entertainers ,ACDC, THE BEE GEES, OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN KEITH URBAN just a few you would recognise and there's a whole bunch more for you and your subscribers to enjoy , you have my subscription in anticipation of a lot more Aussie content .

      Sorry Tom... I don't think John Lennon did say that. I've seen the claim made before and looking it up doesn't bare much fruit. If you can give an actual reference to the claim that would be amazing, but I couldn't find it. I think the mix up is in the fact that Lennon made a comment about how when he wrote the song he imagined it to be slower than The Beatles recorded it. Since Farnham's redoing of the song is in fact slower and more dramatic there might be some confusion. Even though the song came out in 1980, we don't really have any evidence that Lennon ever heard it. Sorry if I mooshed your vibe on that. 🙂

    John is such a music legend in Australia. He has had number one hits in Australia in every decade since the 60's. There's not many artists with such longevity but John has fans of all ages and sings so many different genres that there's something for everyone. We all love him to bits as he is such a humble human being. I'm still not sure he even realises what a huge super star he his. Even in his 70's he was still packing out venues. Sadly due to his current health crisis its unlikely we'll ever see him sing live again. But we are all right there behind him in while he recovers.

    John is now 74, and he is still our most loved singer and all time great guy. A tragedy he suffered throat cancer in 2003 but one year on he is cancer free, will sing again ? ….but Australia wants nothing more than for him than to live a long happy retirement with his lovely wife and sons. Can’t tell you how much we love this man ❤ 💕 💗.

    This is a reworked version of The Beatles classic 1965 title song for the movie Help. A friend showed John Lennon the 1980 performance by John Farnham, and John Lennon was heard to say "This is how the song was meant to be sung". Apparently, before his death later that year, he did his own version of this performance.

    Thanks for reacting to our Farnsey. Looking forward to seeing you get to see and hear our John. Always remember though to react to live versions like this one, it's almost like being there. I get such a thrill seeing faces as they discover what a fabulous person John is.
    Long way to the Top if you want to rock and roll, is a great fun clip from the same concert. All the best to you both, and 😉

    Our John! Growing up listening to Tom Jones and holding him so highly, John has sung in his presence on a couple of occasions and seemed almost 'humbled in the great man's presence'. Alas, held his own and almost claimed the same air. The world needs to hear more of this man now in the autumn of his career and recovering from cancer. Long live OUR John!!!

  • @karenstrong8887
    @karenstrong8887 Год назад +1

    This was an encore after more than two hours of that voice. John always refused to leave until he thought everyone was happy and then he told us to be careful going home. Live is best because he is a showman with a one of a kind voice. He is funny and humble, he is Australia’s family and so is his family and his best friend and managers family. He really is something really special.
    Richard Marx said he is the greatest living voice anywhere. He isn’t wrong, so far Richard has identified 16 different genre’s of music that John sings naturally including Opera. He never had a lesson but the first twenty years of his career were horrible.
    John’s Biography Movie is being released today. I saw it on Mother’s Day and I cannot wait until that DVD is released. That venue in Melbourne John sold out more than 90 times in his career and that is just one City. The Orchestra love playing for him and by the time his show is over he has usually introduced everyone. He has never put himself above anyone else on the stage and he still gets surprised when a famous person knows him. He got emotional when Celine Dion sang his biggest hit and told him she has always been his number one fan. The list of greats he has been in concert with is long and they all came here.
    If you want to hear a beautiful ballad then try Burn For You. Or please don’t Ask me, it was a solo but the version from the Main Event concert with Olivia Newton John is really good. If you want funny and Opera then John and Anthony Warlow singing Granada at the main Event Concert is so good.
    John started out in the 60’s and he hasn’t sung since he was 70 because Covid arrived. He will be 74 on July 1st. He had a number one album in five consecutive decades. He has given us more than enough. We are just excited that he is getting well and is home with his family. Thank you.

    Hi guys, so nice to find this channel....liked and Subscribed. This song is a Beatles classic that was a fast paced pop song. John slowed it down and made it his own. Even John Lennon had said he liked this version better. John is an Australian legend. A brilliant artists who can sing any genre. I hope you check out the other songs from this concert as it a treasure trove of incredible songs and performances. His world wide hit "You're The Voice" is great too. This was actually one of 3 encores after a 2 hours show ..they wouldn't let him leave lol. The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra never had so much fun lol.

    • @ariadnepyanfar1048
      @ariadnepyanfar1048 Год назад +2

      John Lennon wrote this song as a slow ballad similar to this, like his songs Hey Jude with the Beatles, and Imagine. It was the Beatles record label that pushed for it to be changed into a fast paced rock song, like a lot of their previous hits. So it’s natural Lennon loved this version.

    • @blueycarlton
      @blueycarlton Год назад +2

      I was never a fan of Johns music. To be honest, in 1966 / 67 up to the 1980’s I HATED his music but I liked John himself. lol
      Anything live by John is pure gold, with the MSO as well as his loyal band and back up singers, it is gold studded with diamonds.
      In this concert he covers AC/DC and there is a audio only video of his warm up and sound check song..... a cover of Led Zepplins Black Dog.
      Both are done as rock songs with the orchestra and in my opinion, his live Black Dog warm up is almost as good as Led Zepplins recorded version and better than any of their live versions.
      Long Way to the Top ( AC/DC ) is better than AC/DC and live.

  • @daciousinoz6028
    @daciousinoz6028 Год назад +4

    This song is a cover of the Beatles 1965 hit. John Lennon heard this month's before he was killed, and nominated this version as the best and what he was trying to achieve but then didn't have the experience or control in the studio. You should check out 'You're the Voice' from the same concert with the MSO.

    Fabulous reaction. You have a new mountain of songs to react to now that you've entered the John Farnham rabbit warren. I've watch this video since it was on VHS. His voice is enthralling. He lives every song and brings them to life. You will love When the War is over, also live in Melbourne, When Something is wrong with my baby, with the equally iconic Jimmy Barnes, then Please dont ask me, live with the legendary Olivia Newton John. Different genres but similarly jaw- dropping. Thanks loads for this one. Just subscribed

    Yes 80s Johns taken a Beatles classic and makes it his own. Late John Lennon said this is the way the song was meant to be done. John has a phenomenal voice he is 75 now and recovering from a cancer operation on his mouth from last year and been back in hospital recently with a chest infection so we are all praying for a speedy recovery. The band Queen asked him to be their frontman after Freddie passed away but John said no. The more you dive into his wonderful music it is easy to see why they asked him to be their fontman. John is a Aussie legend born in the 🇬🇧 made in Australia loved around the world. Thank you for your great reaction more and more people are discovering John affectionately known in Australia and to his fans as The Voice. Been a fan of Johns since I first heard his music early 80s in the 🇬🇧 been following John ever since. Such a humble down to earth guy like a mate you could go to the pub with. Best reactions for John are the live in concert ones as his personality just shines through and the connection he has with the fans is infectious to watch.Thanks again 🇬🇧 Farnsey Fan 🇬🇧 🇬🇧

    It’s great to see people discovering what us aussies have had the pleasure of listening to for decades. John is an Australian icon and has so many great songs and performances from late 60’s til present, well near present anyway. This concert with help was an epic concert and all songs during were great and would be great to react to. Some stand outs are you’re the voice, it’s a long way to the top(AC/DC cover) which was amazing. Any song performed by John is great, he puts his heart and soul into everything he does, but whenever you listen to him try to do it to live performance where possible, he is amazing live and does some great duets with various artists. Enjoy the journey.

    John Farnham has one of the greatest voices the world has ever seen. And he is also one of the nicest humans to walk the planet. He has had a career since around 1967 or so - an Aussie treasure. Recently he had major surgery for mouth cancer and is still recovering. He is absolutely amazing - so much of his career to check out on RUclips - he played the lead in an arena version of Jesus Christ Superstar in the 90s - his version of Gethsemane was mind blowing - and he would warm up before his concerts with Black Dog by Led Zeppelin (there is an audio version of this on RUclips) - he can sing absolutely anything ❤

    From all accounts a total gentleman and friendly nice down to earth bloke that would strike up a conversation with people that he met out on the street. My misses met him once and said he was just a friendly easygoing gentleman. The bloke is struggling with mouth cancer at present and i reckon all the new people discovering and enjoying his music will really bring him joy
