You may think that he hates Sadie, but he actually loves the song because if it wasn't for this song we wouldn't have John Farnham the singer instead of John Farnham the plumber instead.
The song that made him famous and he just can’t live it down. You need to go back and see him perform it in the late 60’s! Another good oldie which is just soo beautiful is Bridge Over Troubled Water, from 1979, he was 30 years old. One of my faves. Also the ticket prices were generally around $25-35 Australian dollars in the 80’s and a bit more in the 90’s.
👏👏👏👏 poor John. He will NEVER outrun Sadie.
And 250 views in under an hour says whether we admit it or not, WE also love Sadie ❤
Who cares how much a John Farnham ticket costs. We’d all pay whatever it was or ask our families to chip in together get it for us for Christmas if we couldn’t. Millions of us have been to a John Farnham concert , and there’s only 26 million of us! Andcwe’d go again! Most loved human in Australia!
I've been to 20 of John's concerts... I don't think we ever paid more than $80 for a ticket... in Perth, the Limited view seats happened to be so close to the stage and the PA did not hinder our view... we would go on a Saturday night and then to the matinee on the Sunday... I think the tickets for the Main Event (with Olivia Newton John and Anthony Warlow...plus John were around $110 - but for what we got that was just amazing)... He is a joy under any circumstances, but to witness him live is just something that I will never forget... every time he was just as good if not even better.... Class act and one of the nicest humans on the planet.
Lucky you 🙂
As an 18 year old boy, John Farnham shot to the top of the charts with this song. 60 years later he is still the most loved of any Australian entertainer.
I miss these days.
Loved it when John was on Hey hey its Saturday as well, he is very funny and witty.
John is without doubt one of the most talented Australian singers and entertainers of all time.
This is the song that started his career, he was still in his teens.
I was eight years old when this song came out and I remember being on a road trip with my mum, dad, aunty and uncle and this song was playing on the car radio and i remember singing along with it and the fam joined in singing it to, it was the first song i learnt to sing , was a popular song back then 👍❤️🇦🇺
It was the very first song that he released when he was a young fresh faced unknown teenager and it was a huge hit. You need to watch the original black and white version.
Loved Sadie, used to sing it when I was vacuuming as no one could hear my voice😅😂😂
I have been to numerous concerts of John Farnham - including several farewell concerts. I have seen him with Jimmy Barnes, Tom Jones, the MSO, The main event with Olivia Newton John and Andrew Warhlow, as well seeing him perform at several fund raiser concerts for fires, droughts, farmers relief and other events. I have never paid over $110 for a concert. He always gives a great concert and always interacts with the audience. Nobody ever leaves disappointed. The man is a legend!
Now that you have seen him doing it at a concert you should look at the original when he was 18 or so.
yes,,, I was hoping he would do that, when John was so young and new. His first big hit, for some reason..hahaha
I can’t remember the ticket prices exactly, but the last time (of 5) that I saw him in 2010, at the Wollongong entertainment centre, I think it was around $100. At the clubs in the 80’s and 90’s it was $30 to $40. Should also point out that he’s one of the only artists who has children’s ticket prices at non age restricted venues. John would do a show like that one, then go to a town where the biggest venue (Shellharbour Workers Club at the time when I lived there) held around 2000 people. And the shows were beyond awesome. Us non-singers wouldn’t be able to talk for 3 days afterwards. It was there that I saw him perform with Jimmy Barnes (who lived in the area) in his encore. Not many people can say they saw that live. Final point, I saw Elton John live this year. Tickets for myself and my family were $350 each. Not half as good as John live.
He could also have been a comedian. Look at his comedy/singing duet, Granada, with Anthony Warlow, an Aussie opera and musical theatre legend. He references Anthony's performance in Phantom of the Opera.
Poor John. "Sadie" is a bit of an embarrassment and people stir him up a little about it. But as a testament to his good character, he plays along with it and gives the audience what they want. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Oh, alright then, but don't tell anyone!"
Yeah, Sadie was like his very first single back in '67. Of his really early ones, my favourites are 1970's Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head and 1969's One is the Loneliest Number. Though my absolute favourites are That's Freedom and his cover of Zeppelin's Black Dog.
I have been to every one of John's concerts that have been within a days driving distance. I'm not sure of the total, but ALOT! Concert tours plus performances for fire and drought relief probably 20 to 25 shows. I am also blessed to have seen him perform SADIE live at one of his very first performances at the TROCADERO CLUB in Sydney in November or December of 1967. He was just 18, I was 15 years old.
How lucky were you. If I could have been at any concert I think this is the one I would choose. I want a time machine so I can go back to all the concerts I missed. This one, Live Aid with Queen, a bit of young Robert Plant & Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, Pink Floyd, Bowie, The Who, Stevie Wonder, Santana, Springsteen, Cold Chisel. So many but especially this concert. John is so charismatic & hilarious & has such a stage presence with such skill, passion and vocal ability and range. How can we not love him.
@@donnam5891 Donna, you just made me yell YES! much to the surprise of my family...a young Robert Plant, yum. King of the hair flip, he also gets the award for the best bare chest and the best...um, "package" on stage. My bad, but have you seen the live Stairway To Heaven video? We have video evidence...😀 of the hair-flipping that is. Get your mind out of the gutter woman, because there is no room, mine is already there 😂😂 Just going to watch that video now...and count the hair flips 🤥
@@Kim_Kardashcam oh yes! I think we've seen the same video. 🤣
@@donnam5891 I know, right? FYI I counted 18 hair flips caught on camera. Oh to be young again 🤣🤣🤣
I went to the 25th anniversary concert of Whispering Jack in Adelaide, South Australia. Think it was round 2011 and John was about 62. He put on one hell of a show. Reckon the ticket was about $90
This song originally comes from a time (60s) when he was known as Johnny Farnham.
You have to remember, he released this song back in 1967 at the age of 18; he followed that up with Leaning on the Lamppost, and Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head. He also released a cover of You'll Never Walk Alone.
Love this song. Has a special place in my heart.
He goes into doing Ac/Dc song It’s Along Way To The Top if You Want To Rock n Roll. He was 17/18 when released Sadie he was going on 40 here in 1989 Classic Jack Concert was filmed in 1989.
I was 8 years old when Classic Jack was filmed. My parents brought me up on John Farnham - but I wished they had taken me to this concert! It's one of my favourite concerts to watch on DVD. It would have been AMAZING to be there!
What a gift this man is 💕💕
Awesome performance ❤🎉
His first ever hit, and yes it’s not a song any other singer could be proud of, but it was this song that brought this fresh faced, smiling and generous entertainer to our attention. It even shows the hint of the voice that was lurking. We love him for it, because without it, we probably never would have the performances to follow, and the seasoned, skilled and sublime singer to follow that we know as ‘The Voice’ himself.
What they did at the end is called 'dead ants' :) Someone yells 'dead ants' and you do that!
Should listed to the flip side of this song, In My Room written by a young Farnham, so he got the royalities for a No.1.
I have this concert on video but can't play it. I remember when Sadie was a hit. I was just a kid and I'm in my mid 60's now.
To answer your question, I went to quite a few of his concerts right from Whispering Jack upwards and they were around the 60 dollar mark I think? I could be wrong. Classic Jack was filmed in 1989...not sure when it was released, I can only find it for the DVD. Later that year at a guess? LOL I still have merch from a few of those concerts too🤣😂😂 Hey I was young 😜
He likes playing with the crowd with it
Just watch John's wife Jill was even singing it at his last big show
We all love it as it's all about the past and the making of his career
Hi, what is the name of the last big Show? Love from Berlin!
@@ankeyosh8441
The last time tour started in 2002 and finished in Melbourne 2003 it was his final large scale event
After that he only did smaller events and special guest appearances
Thanks for the answer!😊
He cracks me up every time he does Sadie. NO Nick Off..... this one is by far the best of all of them. He has said a number of times over the years, that it was never the sort of song he ever wanted to sing even back then, but if it wasn't for Sadie he wouldn't be where he is today. So he loves the song. You should have a look at the original from back i 1967/68 when he was only 18 years old. ....another lovely one from the early days is baby with out you with colleen hewitt
John was 17 when he recorded his first hit ‘Sadie’ during the era of comedy songs. Still high school age, but he’d left school and was a fresh faced apprentice plumber. From memory ‘Raindrops keep falling on my head’ was his next hit. A couple of years later he played the lead in the musical Pippin. Sadie was such a crass somg but very indicative of a whole range of funny songs by lots of people. As a freakinshly talented singer John always pretends to never sing “bloody Sadie” but always does.
this song came out before childrens television etc ... so Sadie was a song for the kiddos & sung in school yards & concerts :) that is why it is a fan favourite & doesnt really have the same layers when just listening for the first time today :)
I saw him about 10 years ago where Stevie Nicks was the first half of the show and he was the second half. I didn’t even realise he was going to be part of the show. I went to see Stevie
I met Farnsey at one of the channel nine studios in Melbourne (while they were filming Hey Hey It's Saturday).
If you're interested in a video or videos of him singing and joking around on show, let me know.
So glad you did this…Thankyou….Cheers……❤️🦘🦘🇦🇺….
Chain Reaction was my first and then I went to all except 2 tours until the Whispering Jack 25th Anniversary. Most were at Melbourne Park (Rod Laver Arena), a couple at The Arena in Geelong and a couple at the Palais in St Kilda. I don’t remember how much tickets were. Probably somewhere between $60 and $80.
The classic jack concert was aired on free to air TV in 1989 across Australia. Not sure when it was originally recorded but definitely after his Age of Reason album which was released in 1988
As they all said, his first hit.
Check out his cover of the Beatles “ help”
This was covered, very well by Krokus
Blow your mind…
Farnsie & Barnsie… when something is wrong with my baby. Awesome
Paddy Darwin
Nice reaction 👍🏼
Nah you have to go watch the 1967 version honestly . It’s hysterical he has fun with it but then it was very serious lol
You need to do the very next song - they were about to start the final song AC/DC’s It’s a Long Way to the Top. It’s a ripper of a cover.
Ps you don’t have to review but you must watching. 1967 black and white tv lol
Of his early songs, I rather liked "Magic Carpet Ride". There was also a B side single called "Sweet Cherry Wine".
I really think you would also enjoy this. “The Main Event” was a concert of friends who enjoy what they do. Here is a snippet for your enjoyment. John is a little older. ua-cam.com/video/4khUdzzK1p8/v-deo.html
💗💗MIKE...John did a short stint as the lead singer of THE LITTLE RIVER BAND when the original lead, Glen Shorrock retired. You must react to "Little River Band - Reminiscing REMASTERED" 💗💗 His voice in this song is amazing. It didn't last long with LRB, they held him back, you will notice the boring lack of audience interaction, that interaction is what John thrives on. They even shortened his mike cables (without him knowing) so he couldn't move around the stage. He was told that was "too flashy" for their audiences. Plus he was told, "don't be funny". Thank God he left them. Little River Band, where are you now? We all know where John Farnham is.
Those tickets were really cheap in today's time I remember paying anywhere from $35 and up for the back row and around 50 for the centre where you could be right there looking directly at him ,no that concert was in 1988 I remember I was 16 at the time . It was released the next year on vhs .
If you want to hear another side of John Farnham upload John Farnham and Olivia Newton John doing Please don't ask me. This song affects people
Lindsay Fields the male back up singer is Queen Fenetta Fields son.
Lindsay Field, no ‘s’ on the end of his name and Venetta Fields are not related at all.
Ha ha. can't believe he's actually singing it again.😂😂😂
Evidence that he could release the phone book & it would be a hit!
Oh now you have gone right back in Farnsy music history
whispering jakk, not klassikal. (no "see" key),,,, loving your reaktions, mate.
Well you did it, It's done so never play it again 🙂ATB
Did your jimmy barnes video just disappear? I guess you will get back when you get time!
he said he hates it and usually won[t sing it
Sadie is his joke song. Because it was his first “hit” . So he has so much fun joking with the audience. Like saying NO NO NO I’m not gonna sing it. It’s Aussie humour
I know people don't do requests from UA-cam. I don't do the other things. You seriously need to do VIka and Linda Bull. Whomever is here.
Ok. $80-$200. All worth the money as you see. And it was in 1988.
My Mums name was Sadie she hated this song 😂
🤣🤣🤣 thats funny! Regards from Berlin
Probably my least favourite Farnham song 😂
