    What I found the best about this entire song was that Brian was only there to play. It shows his character that he was there to play with Farnsy and co. and that he didn't want the spotlight focused on him, especially when the firies came on.
    Brian is a worldly treasure and must be kept for all people to have a high standard of what it is to be a good, humble man.

      This concert was held to raise funds to help rebuild what was lost in the horrendous Bushfires we had in 2019-2020.
      At the time of this concert, most of New South Wales was gone with huge chunks of every other state and both territories also gone, lost to the ravages of fire.
      In the reaches of the major cities, our firefighters are paid staff but outside of those areas, it’s all volunteers who give up their time and risk their lives to save other lives and property. They leave their paid jobs 98% of the time to go and fight against bushfires such as those that destroyed 60% of Australia during that time.
      I’m Australian by birth - lived here ALL my life and I have NEVER seen New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania, South Australia, Northern Territory and Western Australia all on fire at the exact same time before. 🥺

Any singer out there would kill to be able to sing like this, and LIVE. It is astounding his voice has the clarity and range still. I have recently delved into his back catalogue thanks to an American guy (Nick) who reacts to a lot of his songs. John is sublime live. He cannot be beaten.

    I worked 10 yrs at Adelaide Entertainment Centre, working at concerts such as Foo Fighters, Eagles, Pink, Beyonce etc. John Farnham's shows were always some of the best. He always put in 100% night after night, sung with members of the crowd, and because his stage was 'in the round', he packed in more audience than most artists. He had the bare minimum stage, just him and his band, but wow....he puts on one hell of a show! The guy is an absolute Aussie legend....and world class!

    This was, next to Queen + Adam Lambert's set, the greatest moment of the night. Farnsey is always acknowledged as The Voice, the greatest singer Australia has ever produced. So we were already excited. And we knew what song he would finish with, so we were even more excited. And then when that shot of Brian May flashed up on the screen, we all went into overdrive. John Farnham doing You're the Voice with Brian May?! It was too much! We were screaming. People were having freakouts. OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! THEY'RE DOING IT OH MY GOD! the guys next to me were screaming. And this moment was so cathartic, so...in that moment, I swear I found a new plane of existence. Nothing hurt. Pain didn't exist here. I wasn't tired anymore. It was magic.

I certainly shed a tear or two when saw The John Farnham Story at the cinema earlier this year; l'm shedding tears and wiping my nose as l type this story.
    I was a chauffeur driver for Paul Dainty's family (thanks Zelko - ALR) when you did a concert at Rod Laver Arena. Other drivers were talking with your man George, when you rushed out to jump into his car and it stalked and stopped 😂 We all yelled out, laughing "Do you need a car, Mr. Farnham" Not happy George 😊😊

    Everyone on this stage is a legend in my eyes. Giving their time and talent to such an important cause.
    Yet the sheer class of John shines through as he makes the effort to welcome each person as they join in. He recognises everyone, from the gesture that he makes towards Mitch as he takes the lead and the smile that he gives him once he’s finished, to rocking out with Brian, waving at a member of the crowd, kissing Liv when she comes out and pointing to the firies when they file in at the end. He connects with everyone. All while signalling to the band and of course singing the song! A born performer, true and lasting talent and most importantly a brilliant human being!

      When most famous songwriters hear another translate their song and release it they take legal action to either stop the release or receive royalties for any profit made but when John heard the full Mitch Tambo version he not only gave him his blessing he made a collaboration which has brought us closer as a nation, When you hear the story of Johns wife driving to the record studio hoping they would like his album Whispering Jack he had mortgaged he’s house he was in the fetul position on passenger floor if they say no he is bankrupt & homeless even though he’s famous, He’s a National icon only just starting to get recognised globally for he’s brilliant voice which is unmatched and when he was young it was effortless he never struggled and could go from 0-60 instantly!

      Those are the words of the Bulsara's family religion. That is a quote from the ancient Zoroastrian religion, in which Freddie and Kashmira were taught to abide by their parents!
      It was said, Freddie's father used to say it to him every time Freddie left from a visit. Freddie respected it and by the most part, lived by those words.
      I get what you're saying though. Much of the movie isn't truth. But, this was.

    • @AB-og7cn
      @AB-og7cn 4 года назад +1

      Ive read it in many articles/interviews that were given by either a family member or close friends of Freddie's. Edit: I know if what I read is bogus.
      I've been a fan since the 70s! That doesn't make me know everything but, it does make me aware of what's true and what's not. I know who Freddie's friends were and who scammed him.
      Anyway, here's what I have for you, with a quote from his sister. I hope this helps.
      Freddie Mercury and his Zoroastrianism faith was something that was kept out of the public eye. The legendary musician known as Freddie Mercury was born Farrokh Bulsara in Zanzibar (now part of Tanzania) in 1946. The Bulsara family are part of the Zoroastrian faith and Mercury was raised within this tradition.
      His father was a civil servant for the British Empire, so the family lived in India during the young Freddie’s formative years. Mercury attended boarding school in India and it was during this time that he learned piano, fell in love with rock ‘n’ roll, got the nickname Freddie and formed his first band.
      Zoroastrianism is the oldest monotheistic religion in the world and its prophet Zarathustra was the first to introduce to theology the concepts of heaven and hell, and the struggle between good and evil.
      Although these days Zoroastrianism is seen as a minor religion, its teachings have inspired many scholars and artists throughout the centuries, including, Mercury.
      Freddie Mercury may not have actively practiced the faith, but it certainly played a role in his determination and outlook on life.
      His sister, Kashmira Cooke, discussed this in an interview in 2014: “I think what [Freddie’s] Zoroastrian faith gave him was to work hard, to persevere, and to follow your dreams.”
      'Good thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds.’ It teaches sharing, generosity and kindness as part of its doctrine and Mercury was known to be all of those things.
      He was an extravagant spender, not just on material goods and parties, but he also privately gave large sums of money to charities and was known to lavish gifts on friends and to help those close to him.
      I've read quite a bit about Freddie Mercury. I'm never going to be one to say I know everything but I will say I know that those words were instilled by his family through their faith.
      He was also given a Zoroastrian funeral service.

      Go to your search bar and type in, Freddie Mercury and the Zoroastrian religious faith.
      Go to Peter Freestone's blogs, like I did. Also, check-out Freddie Mercury, What He Left Behind by David Evans and Peter Freestone. Look up, Freddie Mercury's Family Faith! Anthology of World Scriptures by Robert VanVoorst (Zoroastrian religion and, Freddie Mercury).
      Zoroastrian History, The Vintage News, Freddie Mercury, Kashmira Bulsara Cooke interview!
      Type into your search bar interviews and articles you'd like to read and see about, Good Words Good Deeds Good Thoughts and Freddie Mercury! Because, it's all there! This wasn't a few weeks of reading. It was months into years! There was no social media in the 70s-90s. Well after Freddie died, we were able to look him up on the Internet, without books! Everything I've learned and looked up about Freddie, interviews articles and inserts are in my personal computer files. I'm not sure what you're looking for. But, I gave you a nice answer the first time.
      This second time seemed like an argument to me because if you're a hardcore fan as you say you are, you'd know how to look it up for yourself! The search bar is your friend as it was mine for months! It's all there and it's all true. Freddie used those words in his lifetime. He was a great man! In every single way possible! Go look up what his band members say about him. What Elton John says about him! What everyone says about him. Nobody ever had a bad word to say about Freddie Mercury!
