    Hard to believe that not only was this Livvy' s last live performance but after John's surgery, his as well... I knew watching this live it was going to be a piece of history.. just not in that way. THANKS JOHN AND OLIVIA

      Absolutely..when I saw John sing that night live at firefight, I thought, he doesn't look well, hope it won't be his last. And I was so happy to get to see Olivia sing too on stage that night. Two Aussie legends.. My daughter is named Olivia, and she was named after ONJ. My daughter is also a great singer too and it just made my day when I saw her sing that day at firefight..I was way in back on the floor. I am so grateful to have maybe seen both their last performances..

    I don't know of too many power/belting singers who can still belt in the same key in their 70s as they did in their 20s/30s. John is one of them.

    Such a special performance we need to value and to keep as a memory, as we did not know what was ahead of us all - only one month later we all went into lockdown, then Olivia passed and John got ill in 2022. They both showed their absolute lifelong skills in this performance as usual. SO SO special indeed.

  • @walover165

    This was absolutely brilliant live. Like, we all KNEW he'd end with You're the Voice, but that second Brian May flashed up on the screen, I'm pretty sure I just screamed non-stop for like a minute. A bunch of guys standing near me were in full meltdown: OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! over and over again, it was so great. And then the crowd singing to Mitch Tambo, two languages, one meaning, it was wonderful. And when the firies came out. Oh my god. I can't believe it's been a week already. I'll never forget that night.

Of course this led me to ALL of Johns videos. I am so glad I am now getting to explore his amazing gift for myself. I feel like this has been some secret kept from me! Lol I am from USA.

    John Farnham is now an Australian institution. He was born in England (Dagenham, specifically), but chose this particular colony to be at peace.
    His soaring voice can only be compared to Julie Anthony (royal honours - AM, OBE) singing Australia's National Anthem.
    You are The Voice John - you always and forever will be.

    I've just watched a clip of him from 1994 and there's no difference in his vocal ability. If anything I recon he is even better now which is unbelievable as many vocalists his age lower the key on their songs to suit their voices.
