This is my favorite version of the classic, soulful gospel classic. Great performance by all but I find it amazing that John is standing meters from and above the mic and his magical voice just powers through and resonates, and gives you chills down your spine.
This was sublime. John with Vanetta and Lindsey nailed it. I love how John is always willing to let his backup singers and band members take centre stage, and you can see how he surrounds himself with the very best musicians. The fact that these musicians and backup singers stayed with him for decades speaks highly of the character of the man. It's no wonder he is so loved here in Austraila.
The love between John and Vanetta and Lindsay is written all over their faces. They are so proud of each other. I love that John gives everyone of his crew their chance to shine..
I love Miss Venetta Fields and she is still teaching voice not far from where I live. When she looks up at Sweaty John with a mix of love and a proud Mama I could hug her. Lindsay Field is also much loved as is Lisa, another backup singer who I believe was on baby break. None of them ever left John. Miss Venetta had her own career in America and was even in 2 movies. She could have been anyone she wanted to be but we were lucky enough to get her. Last time I saw Lindsay sing with John all of his hair was grey. I think you would have enjoyed John as Jesus in the stage musical. Jesus Christ Superstar. He sings Gethsemane so beautifully. There are not ant genres he can’t sing or we haven’t found one yet and they are all so easy for him. Or he makes them look and sound easy. John taught me that everyone involved in a concert is important and we should know everyone’s names.
Thanks heaps for reacting to John, much appreciated. To me this has to be up there with the greatest ever cover or amazing grace. John combined with the voices of his extraordinary back up singers take this performance to the next level. Can you please react to John Farnham “angels” live in 2000
Yep. Venetta was an Ikette. Has also performed with Pink Floyd, Humble Pie, Barbra Streisand, Elkie Brooks, Neil Diamond, Steely Dan, Boz Scaggs, Bob Seger and the Rolling Stones. Lindsay has also been with John forever. And you haven’t experienced John Farnham until you’ve heard his cover of The Beatles song Help, live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. The best live vocal ever performed.
Venetta Fields was John's backup singer for many many years, She came to Australia from the USA and never left. She was also a backing singer for many famous American artists, like Ike & Tina Turner, I think Diana Ross....so many others to mention. John always showcases his backing singers during his shows. I love this version too. Her vocals are amazing....Thanks Honi Mama for a great reaction
He is the best of the best. Love your heart felt reaction 2 Farnsey. Would be great if you can react 2 John Farnham “a touch of paradise” the live version of him in black clothing
Ive had the pleasure of meeting John for several hours when his Yacht broke down, he came out to have a chat with me a 2 mates, we were fishing off the jetty, we shared a few cigarettes, yes he smoked.. He is a top bloke, what you see is the real person.. He is a funny bugga.. What i love about John is he loves to showcase his backup singers & his band, he knows he is just a link in the chain.. One of the most humble men you will ever meet..

This was a awesome singing group right here not everyone can nail the amazing grace but this was fire!!!
Cant wait for ya to check the request 😊
Try ‘You’re the Voice’ and ‘Help’ (Beatles cover) from John’s CLASSIC JACK Live album 😊
I think John likes his name pronounced the English way...Farnem. ..with a silent h. I suspecthe wouldn't mind you calling him Farnsey as we do in Oz.
