This clip,, you're the voice, and others are my energiser every morning - what better way to start the day, and they're the best antidote to the world's crap at bedtime. And I play his show concerts during the day. He's just phenomenal. 28.9.23. UK. E❤.
So much energy, I could believe he plugs himself into an electric socket every night to charge himself! And if I'd been part of that orchestra I'd have happily played for nothing. What an experience, what an all round mega performance. 27.9.23. UK. E ❤
I was at this concert as a 9 year old. 30+ years later still vividly remember it. Watched the VHS, then DVD what feels like 100+ times since. Amazing. JF forever. ❤
Yes, completely agree, total joy in every single person in that building, from John to the orchestra to the backing team and of course the audience. And me sitting here watching it years later, tears in my eyes. Get well, John...
Longevity is the key to success in the music industry these days & considering how long John has been around, the man has longevity in BUCKETS just oozing out of him. I've lost count of the number of his concerts I've been to but whenever he ended it with this classic, you just KNEW it was indeed a "show" 👍👍👍👍 I always used to love the lighthearted cracks about his mother in law also (the dragon lady) 😂😂😂😂
Why do people get so upset when a cover song is played differently than the original? That's why covers are so great; they're a new twist on an old tune! Fucking great cover!!
Why should they feel ashamed? You have missed the 'musical' point. I think it's clever to amalgamate a great rock song with a great orchestra and one of Aussies finest rock vocalists ever! The only thing that is an issue is the lack of real bagpipes as the synth sounds just don't cut it. Seeing as the pipes can really only play in Bb and the original song is in A I guess it's difficult. There is nothing wrong with this version apart from that.
HAHAHA . You do know the John has the same range vocally as Freddie M. He can hit and sustain a top F. Better vocals then Bon for sure. John is having a blast here. Look at the Melbourne Symphony orchestra's face. "Best day at work ever" Brett Garsed, rated one of the best in the world guitarists. David Hirshfelder now a Hollywood score composer. Vanetta Field. Was an Ikette with TIna Turner. All love AC/DC they are all having a blast and have talent and the whole Rod laver arena is on its feet
Bon played the bag pipes and they didnt want this song to be played without Bon on the pipes. It was one of those if he cant do it then no one will. In a nutshell they retired the song in Bon's name.
Stefano Barbieri funny I seen them do it. This is just a bit of fun. John a huge fan and was a friend of Bon nothing wrong with it. His concerts he sing what he likes..
If you liked that, you'll LOVE this from the same concert. John belts out some ACDC with "It's a Long Way to the Top". ua-cam.com/video/73X_z_zW4Sg/v-deo.html
It’s not meant to be the same that’s why it’s a cover.. it’s just a bit of fun and John is a big fan of AC/DC way back when they started out in Australia I for one love it and John still does it to this day and his 72 and still has that voice.. 🇦🇺
FLex Rhyze why! Because its not sung by the Original AC/DC! I think Bon would of gotten a kick out John singing this.. and John’s a huge fan of the Band hence why his plays it. it’s bit of fun and you can tell they all love doing it so why not especially with the MSO sound bloody awesome..
IT SURE IS 💜

Start the day with John Farnham and it will never be a bad day! Dec. 2023. UK. E❤
I think I've been playing this every night for months. God bless you John Farnham hope you’re getting well.
Me too.

Oh man if there's only one concert I could have gone to in my whole life it would have been this one (that includes my own ha ha)
KIZ _ ITS NOT EASY
BUT YEP YOUR GOING TO MAKE IT TO THE TOP 😀
The whole band and orchestra has joy absolutely oozing out of them in this hahahaha

Love MSO loving this so much

💜 LOVE YOU JOHN _
IM YA BIGGEST FAN _
💯🇭🇲🙏👍😀 Nov 24
He does AC/DC proud. All the musicians are cutting loose and killing it!
Classic Jack??? Too bloody RIGHT.... They all went right off the chain....SO MUCH FUN from start to finish.... what a joy to watch
I came across this video and it really is an amazing performance. What a beautiful gift for the ears and the eyes!! Greetings from Argentina 😎👍🏼🇦🇷💪🏼🇦🇷
Absolutely fantastic. Love Farnham and my uncle played in the MSO in the 1960s. Oh what a joy to see both together - Brilliant 👏👏👏👏
That was freaking AWESOME!!!!
Why do people get so upset when a cover song is played differently than the original? That's why covers are so great; they're a new twist on an old tune! Fucking great cover!!
You are absolutely right!
Who was upset? I'm AC/DC fan for so long and it's best cover ever of this song. Period
@@marekpierepienko4018 Me, too.
Any person who can make me as happy as this does gets my unconditional love. Forever. 3.10.23. UK. E❤
❤😂❤
What a great talent he is. John can sing anything. Love you John.
This rocks in soooo many ways!!!
This always leaves me speechless!
so great would love to see live
This blows AC/DC away!! 👍
que bien me encantan esas mezclas de bandas de musica rock o pop con orquestas de musica clasica
Even Bon would approve.
Great band.
EPIC!!
Q buen cover!!! Excelente!!!

Brett killed the solo legend
This is a tribute to ACDC. Farnham was a big fan. Vocally Farnham is better than Bon though the arrangement is different
sehnaz1 The hell he is. This Farnham guy doesn't even come close to touching Bon vocally
Rubbish. Bon had a big persona and attitude but was not a great singer. The comparison to Farnham isn't even close. You're kidding yourself.
sehnaz1 Everyone's entitled to their own opinion but I still think Bon Scotts better than this guy
HAHAHA . You do know the John has the same range vocally as Freddie M. He can hit and sustain a top F. Better vocals then Bon for sure. John is having a blast here. Look at the Melbourne Symphony orchestra's face. "Best day at work ever" Brett Garsed, rated one of the best in the world guitarists. David Hirshfelder now a Hollywood score composer. Vanetta Field. Was an Ikette with TIna Turner. All love AC/DC they are all having a blast and have talent and the whole Rod laver arena is on its feet
Agreed, very few male singers can/could ever reach John's voice. Even live he hits soaring notes time and time again. A truly amazing singer
There's a reason why ACDC never, never played this song after Bon died.
What reason?
Bon played the bag pipes and they didnt want this song to be played without Bon on the pipes. It was one of those if he cant do it then no one will. In a nutshell they retired the song in Bon's name.
Stefano Barbieri funny I seen them do it. This is just a bit of fun. John a huge fan and was a friend of Bon nothing wrong with it. His concerts he sing what he likes..
@@aussiekat6379 Well said No two singers sing the same Most Australian singers think John is the best vocalist
@@michellebostock4276 I think Bon would of got a kick out of John and the Orchestra playing this. 👍🇦🇺
If you liked that, you'll LOVE this from the same concert. John belts out some ACDC with "It's a Long Way to the Top". ua-cam.com/video/73X_z_zW4Sg/v-deo.html
Ducar alho!
now this is what it would sound/feel like if Van Halen did it if ya catch my drift
well i guess that imitation is the sincerist form of flattery
Except that John is not trying to imitate Bon. He's just singing a song that he loves.
It's in the wrong key. The original's in Bb/A#, while this version is in A.
It’s not meant to be the same that’s why it’s a cover.. it’s just a bit of fun and John is a big fan of AC/DC way back when they started out in Australia I for one love it and John still does it to this day and his 72 and still has that voice.. 🇦🇺
Pretty sure cos Bon Scott’s voices is different to Farnhams (though he probably could have sung it in the higher key)
The original was in B flat as that’s the only key the bagpipes play in. Using the keytar instead eliminates that necessity.
Bon Scot mestre John aprendiz
John Farnham better than ac/dc
I don't know about better, just different.
For them it's a long way to the top, because they are so far away!!
is this some sort of a joke? i hope acdc never here this version.
Arvid Nilsson they have this is back in 90s and there’s nothing wrong with it. Just a bit of fun as John a fan of the band..
@@aussiekat6379 The only AC/DC member that would matter is Bon and he is no longer with us. I doubt he would have a problem anyway.
not bad...............but Bon Scott singin alone still better
I'm sorry but Some people can remake a song and make it better but this song you can't unless you have bagpipes in it
Dafuq is this?
Cancel Farntraitor, he sold his voice!
Thats not ac dc
Its bad music
albus percival wulfric brian dumbledore neither is the one that’s playing now !
Oh god this is awful .
FLex Rhyze why! Because its not sung by the Original AC/DC! I think Bon would of gotten a kick out John singing this.. and John’s a huge fan of the Band hence why his plays it. it’s bit of fun and you can tell they all love doing it so why not especially with the MSO sound bloody awesome..
Like it or not! these guys having fun and that's all what matters👌
Yeah he was the safe boring singer for kids and their mothers. Never a rocker but he got rich with his schtick so fair play
