Thanks Mike I’m so glad you’re loving Farnsey- another suggestion is to look at Angels - he sings with Lisa Edwards and it’s absolutely mesmerising. PS start to take note of Johns microphone skills- he’s a master!
I second the nomination. Definitely Angels.
third, awesome song
also check out the concert The Main Event he did with Anthony Warlow and Oliva Newton John, so many fantastic songs with a bit of comedy thrown in for good measure, cheers
Angels (Live) Fabulous.

I fourth ??? The angels nomination, a beauuuuuuutiful song to check out with Lisa …. LIVE
hahaha, before I re-read I was just about to reply with "wait, Lisa Edwards sung with The Angels!?!?!" (no Dave, she didn't - NWGFFO!)
This is from the Album Playing To Win by The Little River Band where he sings Lead Vocals. I think he recorded about 5 albums with the band all worth a listen!
He does an 'a cappella' version of amazing Grace with two of his backing singers that is spine tingling
"When The War Is Over" Live is amazing as is his Duet with Jimmy Barnes "When Something is Wrong With My Baby"
That's freedom another great Farnsy song
I’m glad you liking John Farnham.
Playing To Win originally released 1984 is John’s signature song during his 4 years with The Little River Band from 1982 - 1986
Age Of Reason 1988 is he’s second biggest successful single under You’re The Voice .
I saw the Playing To Win Tour in 1984. I thought it was a great concert. The song Playing To Win in that concert pales in comparison to this.
You need to check out John singing ( you will never walk alone) at Melbourne carols by candlelight it’s the best version you will ever hear,absolutely brilliant.
Great reaction indeed 👍 yes John is better live, he loves it and his audience. I’ve never seen a symphony orchestra conductor smile so much and have so much fun
You must react to John and his long time backing singer Ms Venetta Fields "LIVE" singing Amazing Grace, "acapella", toward the end they are joined by one of John's other backing singers, Lindsay Field and the band for an amazing finale. THAT will give you goosebumps.
Ms Venetta was once an IKETTE for Ike and Tina Turner and she was a backing singer for Pink Floyd, Humble Pie, Barbra Streisand, Elkie Brooks, Neil Diamond, Steely Dan and The Rolling Stones.
You saw him pick up the panties? That turned into a long time running joke. As the years rolled on he would complain about getting old, and the ladies would throw grannie panties onto the stage.
He has an amazing sense of humour.
Thanks again for the reaction.
John's crowd interaction at concerts is great as well
Could of been a comedian as well
One of my favourite songs
John farnham and Anthony warlow a higher art form is amazing 👏
Hi octane performance. Aside from the MSO John always drew top notch musicians to perform with him. Excellence attracts Excellence! But just think how much of a Buzz the Orchestra must have had - compared to their 'usual gigs'. So great.
And... was that some girl handing him her knickers - that he put in his pocket!?! His wife; Jill would have had something to say about THAT! Hmmm. 😆
How isn't this guy the biggest thing on the planet?
I watched him blow Lionel Richie out of the water
Farnham is the best singer on the planet.
I so glad that you’ve now seen Help and Playing toWin as they’re a terrific demonstration of is performance range - absolutely killer vocal in the slow and beautiful version of Help to the dynamite rock powerhouse of Playing to Win. As a rule for John Farnham, always seek out live versions of his songs that you are recommended. He is one of the few artists that is vocally better out of the studio.
Perhaps my favourite vocal performance of John’s, and one I cannot recommend highly enough for anyone interested in either (and especially both) theatre and vocal prowess, is this one:
ruclips.net/video/k5woMZtClhI/видео.html
John plays the role of Jesus in the stage production Jesus Christ Superstar. This song being the solo Gethsemane. His interpretation changes up the traditional focal point of the song from the C5 on “Why” (I think he still hits the note) to somewhere else that I won’t spoil. And in my opinion it’s better for it as it matches the emotion of the lyrics better.
Glad you are becoming a convert. John was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame and this performance of You're The Voice performed in front of his peers, will give you a perfect example of the high regard he is held in in Australia. The ARIA's are our version of the Grammy's. Check it out here ruclips.net/video/ULeMvqeU-Ns/видео.html
A touch of paradise is another song I would react 2
I would love it if you could find it in your heart to start your Jimmy Barnes journey for some gritty Aussie rock. Try Cold Chisel live in 2012, "Saturday Night" or "Flame Trees" or literally anything from Jimmy.
John was amazing in every live performance but I have to say that this concert with the MSO was his best ever! ❤
Mate, it's our honour to introduce to you, 'The Voice'. Probably the most vocally accurate,.globally. Enjoy ❤
Glad to see you still on the farnham journey
2 points:
1 - the emergency service I volunteer with had this as our PR theme for years….
2 - if that was David Hirschfelder on keytar, he went on to do the soundtracks for the films Elizabeth and Elizabeth: The Golden Age
I'm so proud to be an Aussie right now!!!❤
Cant go wrong with him singing Please don’t ask me and Angels either
Angels (Live) ruclips.net/video/Lr-F4GfG5xs/видео.html
Great to see you enjoying yourself. Most people do when they discover John. Anything he does live is brilliant, and you will find that he can sing any genre perfectly. He is just a natural. Beautiful demeanour you have.
John has one of the best voices in the world!
Hi Mike, I’m loving your reactions. You need to do John Farnham Touch of Paradise Live. And Delta Goodrem Solid Gold, Kissing You, Paralysed, Keep Climbing, I believe in a thing called love, Heavy, Fragile, Flawed , Wish you were here. So many more, but these are a few of my favourites. I have seen Delta live on 5 of her tours, and she just get better and better. Thanks Mike.
How about John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes when the war is over live. These two singers are both legends of Australian music so you might aswell listen to them together. Looking forward to subscribing.
Addendum: John Farnham can literally sing ANYTHING. His vocal warm-up is Led Zeppelin "Black Dog" and blew my socks off lol
Not only your socks🤣
He can sing so many different types of songs - I personally love this live version of his song "Burn for You' - Link here: ruclips.net/video/4PPvOhPspEA/видео.html
Energy was the word that came to me just as you expressed it. You just might have a future in this game Big Mike...Keep it up.
Great song.brings back memories
Hey Mike have a look at his live version of That’s Freedom , it’s brilliant .
You should check out John’s album, “Whispering Jack”. Released quite a while ago but is still the biggest selling album in Australia by a mile.
Mike if you have the time have a look at Jimmy Barnes and Farnsey singing Something is wrong with my baby.
Two of the best Aussie male performers ever.
You need to check out Jimmy Barnes both as a solo and in his band Cold Chisel. He also does a great duo with John Farnham.
Try The Angels....Take a Long Line
Not my favourite song but the energy can not be denied and John is always fun to watch! Oh I think I saw Rambo again 🤣.
Was definitely Brett Garsed heh.
@@kane29842 yep couldn't remember his name, thanks!
John is in his 70's now and still sounding as good as ever.... No mullet hair cut these days tho 😂❤
This was a song John Farnham played when he was with the Little River Band. Check out "Night Owl", "Take It Easy On Me" and "Cool Change" . Not sure if John was in the band with these 3 hits, but it's LRB was a gr8 band.
Those songs are Glenn Shorrock as the lead singer but American bass player Wayne Nelson is vocalist on The Night Owls .
John Farnham most popular Little River Band songs
The Other Guy Aus #18 , USA 11
We Two Aus #49 , USA 22
Down On The Border Aus #7
You Driving Me Out Of My Mind USA # 35
Playing To Win Aus # 59 USA 60 even it chart position was mediocre Playing To Win is John’s signature song from he’s days with LRB , he wrote it .
When The War Is Over ( Cold Chisel cover ) didn’t chart but John vocals and the bands harmonies absolutely amazing on this song .
I’ve been a long time Farnsey fan, but somehow only recently discovered “We Two” from his LRB days. Damn… that’s a good song. And the measured use of his belting voice is =chef’s kiss= sublime as it makes it hit harder when he does use it.
try john singing in days to come i think you will like it
Mike id love you to checkout another fantastic aussie band . Gang of youths " heart is a muscle". The album this single was off won album of the year in Australia a few yrs back. Love your work
I’m commenting on all of your videos I’m watching because I’m new here and want to help your account grow lol
Good onya mate
2 strong hearts. There is a duo with another famous Aussie jimmy barnes it’s more blues something is wrong with my baby. It’s awesome. Soon we have to send you some Aussie snacks to eat while watching these.
Live version, recorded on ‘Hey Hey it’s Saturday’!
This song was written by john when he was lrb and they weren't letting play to crowd and he wanted out
As mentioned in your previous video's I can email you a copy of the complete concert ....
Ok, send me a DM, my Facebook and IG are in the video
Matt Corby "brother" like a version.
You never get this sort of performance from todays artists, most dont even sing live anymore they just play the recorded version and add a littlenoise to their choreographed moves. No thanks, give me John any day.
😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wonder what his wife Jilly thought of the kiss??!
Still together after a zillion years.
By far the greatest Australian talent, when it comes to the mastery of the guitar, is Tommy Emmanuel:

My absolute fave version of PTW is from 2000 - ruclips.net/video/t5bPIvzP1ao/видео.html
Seriously thought I was going to get Rick Rolled by that link… glad I didn’t, as I think I was at that concert (or at least definitely attended one on that tour)!
Can you adjust your camera, it’s looking slightly up at you rather than straight at you. It would open up your interaction.
This is a shit song but man, it was also the 80s so it’s hard for us to look back without judging the layout, instruments etc.
Have to disagree, it’s an excellent song, great live cover but everyone is entitled to their own opinion
Richard Marx once said it was like "religion hit me" when he first heard farnsie
