@@jaccilowe3842 yes one of the best things to come from the US. I think he should have got a bigger mention for his part. It’s best with diesel’s talents. Next to Brian may best among the best.
John is music royalty in Australia. Anything he sings is worth reacting to. Jimmy was lead singer for an Auzzie band called Cold Chisel, then went solo. This song is from his Soul Deep album. Both have careers spanning decades. Both are icons of Australian music.
I have loved John Farnham since way back when he was known as Johnny Farnham in 1969 when i was 14 , he was singing 'Sadie , The cleaning lady' on the back of a flat bed truck at the Warana Festival in Brisbane , i am now 70 and still love him but i don't think we will ever hear our angel sing again .
Barnsey, Farnsey and a splash of Diesel...Three Aussie legends. We had it good in the 90s! Such a shame Help was blocked..but at least you got to see it!
For an even BETTER version of this song check them out at the ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) Awards. The performance is sensational ! ALWAYS see and hear John Farnham LIVE as his energy is magnetic and his live persona is charismatic. The man is a vocal gymnast, being able to sing in over 20 genres. All of his many songs are perfect.
Hi Nick! The story goes that they were drinking and became quite drunk, they put John in a cab, however he couldn’t remember where he lived! LOL! I guess he eventually got home! Live is ALWAYS the best for these guys! Thanks for the great reaction! Peace and Blessings to you and yours.
Thank you Nick. Our wonderful Aussie boys - John can sing any genre - the GOAT The VOICE. Jimmy - our rock, soul & blues King and Diesel - amazing guitarist and Vocalist. Check them out performing In the Midnight Hour. What a treat that is. ❤🎉
Jimmy is in his late 60s and still performing and recording and is as good as ever. You'll understand just how good he still is if you react to "Sone Cold" by Jimmy with Joe Bonamassa on guitar. Two of the music world's greats.
Hi Nick, remember what I told you in that email about Farnham?? I wasn’t kidding 😂 if you can get that HELP video up it will get crazy views!! Jimmy is just so great, love love him. Hope you’re well my friend ❤ 🐨
The best “help” cover is from the Melbourne concert with the symphony orchestra. It is the one that appears to be most successfully uploaded. I was at that concert He had finished a stunning 2 hr concert and even though visibly exhausted he, as an encore, came out with this,beyond perfect, rendition of his version of the Beatles classic. To this day I remember the goosebumps.
@@LaurenBinny yes, I have shared many a musical moment with Farnsey! It’s only now hearing the world react that we truely see and hear the genius that is John Farnham. It blew me away at ‘the main event’when he sang opera. I , like John am in my seventies. We had the best singers who did not need the help of the sound technician to sound amazing
@@arlin4591 For those of you unaware, Australia is a country proudly made up of migrants. Both men have lived 90% of their life including their entire adulthood here, had their careers here, their fans here, their friends here, their families here, and consider themselves Australians. Both of them are as Australian as they come, just like the 30% of other Australians that were also born overseas.
I normally recommend people start their journey of The Voice’s (Farnsy’s nickname here) catalogue with “You’re the Voice”, our unofficial pub anthem here, then move on to his rearrangement of “Help” by The Beatles (both songs best versions are Live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in the same concert) but this is also a solid song to start with. That said, his catalogue really is huge, so even if you don’t do reactions to songs like “Age of Reason” or “When the War is Over” or “Reasons” etc. he is worth exploring further in your own time. Edit: Just realised, if you’re not familiar with the original “Help” by The Beatles, it’s a shame you didn’t check it out first. There’s no way you can go the other way round. Johns version is the best rearrangement of a song EVER, including Disturbed’s “Sound of Silence” and Johnny Cash’s “Hurt”, which should tell you something.
Great reaction Nick to two amazing Aussie artists. This was a good clip but always watch live performances with our artists. They are the best. I hope the version of John’s Help is the live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. You will also love his cover of AC/DC ‘s It’s a Long Way to the Top and John’s You’re The Voice both also with MSO. Will rock your socks off.🫶🇦🇺✌️
A great reaction! There is an even better version (in my opinion) where they sing live on the TV show, Hey, Hey It's Saturday - when you think it cannot get any better, it does. Live performances is when John really shines. There are so very many performances to react to with John, all brilliant, all genres, all ages. John is now 75 and has had surgery for cancer of the jaw 12 months ago; he has recovered but not singing as to be expected. He is the GOAT (with Jimmy a close second). Diesel on the guitar and joining in at the end, another legend. Enjoy 'Our John" - The Voice!
@@jeffwilson7100it’s not on an official site and as far as I can see via YT Studio there’s no current copyright claims on it so I don’t think it would be a problem 😊
Eargasm from start to finish when these guys get together, Deisel in guitar is a star in his own right. Just love that era of music and genuine talent.❤
Hi Nick. I've watched your Tim Minchin reactions in the past and now you're reacting to John...yay!!!! Always love your reactions. Thankyou so much. Feel free to react to many more John Farnham videos...😊❤
We are proud of our Johnny and Jimmy, they are national treasures. John Farnham in particular has the most incredible voice, and I think if you can watch live performances (which I presume you did for HELP) you get a much better understanding of how phenomenal he is. For this song with Jimmy, I suggest the live performance at the 1991 Australian music awards, it's brilliant.
Loved that. You know class when you hear it. I hope you can get Help up. That is just about the most perfect example of a vocal masterclass you will ever see. ❤❤
Tasmanian here. Didn't know that about you! As others will no doubt post, both these artists should be viewed live. They are better than in the studio format. There are two live recordings of them doing this with Diesel, Jimmy's brother-in-law, on guitar and a singer in his own right.
Somebody said they actually downed the bottle of whisky during the filming of this! They certainly looked like they were enjoying themselves 😊 Thanks for your enjoyable reaction 👍
I heard John got so drunk that he couldn't find his car (thankfully) but also that he couldn't remember his address to tell the taxi driver. This story may have been embellished over the years, however.😂😂😂 ❤❤❤
3 of Australia's greatest performers. John Farnham, Jimmy Barnes, and Diesel AKA Johnny Diesel AKA Mark Lissotte. That was the "official" music video but if you want to hear perfection look for live performances. John takes it to the next live, he feeds off his audiences and his shows were amazing.
I like the live version more but this is still great. Diesel on guitar is Jimmy’s brother in law and in the live version he sings with them from his guitar solo. He is a talent in his own right. I love it when anyone tries to out sing or out power John. Didn’t happen here. Thank you.
Best of Aussie performance. The only problem is we are getting older. Johnny Farnham had mouth cancer and Jimmy Barnes has a lot of heart problem. Like a Aussie they keep on Rocking .
This is an amazing song and performance by all but you really need to watch the live versions, especially when reacting to John Farnham. Anything John sings is gold and with over 50 years of performing there’s a lot to choose from. But live, always live.
Thanks for listening to these 3 legends - that is Diesel on guitar along with Farnsey and Barnsey 😉 👍 I swear if there was an Olympic sport for vocal gymnastics, Farnham would win gold every single time!! I just love his voice 😍 I hope you will listen to more from all 3 of these amazing artists. Good luck getting the Help video up. Thanks again! 😊❤❤
🎉🎉🎉 Three superstars of Australian music. This collaboration was for Jimmy's Flesh and Wood album, where he sang mostly accoustic songs with other artists. Both are loved here. Jimmy was born in Scotland, and John was born in Essex in England. Diesel was born in Massachusetts in the US. All three came to Oz and youngsters. (Yes we know we were blessed). Did you know that Jimmy sang this much earlier with his band Cold Chisel in 1982? Dr_Kap has this on her channel. The first singer with the guitar is Ian Moss on that version, with Jimmy singing the higher part.
These guys are legends John Farnham is fantastic so is Jimmy (Jimmy’s band cold Chisel is easily best band in Australia (I love Jimmy ❤) Also Jimmy’s brother in law deisel on guitar is great Can you pretty please 🙏 react to Cold Chisel singing “wild thing” (cover) and “Bow River” it will blow your mind. Cold Chisel is interesting as Jimmy’s vocals and “”Ian Moss” on guitar and singing match really well but they are so different singers but it works beautifully Also Jimmy singing anything is great but him singing “a change is gonna come” (cover) is epic Also you have reacted to Jimmy before.. when he sang duet with INXS (goodtimes).
New sub here, a must see is the chapel recording of John doing Playing to win, its from 2011, shows that his amazing voice has only grown better with age, like a fine wine. keep up the good work
Really gotta see them live. And Diesel is the guitarist and does some harmonies. He's A pretty big star in Australia on his own. And Jimmy's brother in law. All magnificent
We're certainly blessed to be able to call these two phenomenonal men our own. It's funny though that at 65 I really didn't appreciate both more until I was in my 40s. I guess I grew up!
Saw Jimmy singing the other night. He was phenomenal, I last saw him in concert as an 18yr old and it was amazing and now I got to see him as a 50yr old and it was mind blowing that he basically sounded the same as when I saw him as an 18yr old. Anyone that can see him and his band Cold Chisel touring Australia and NZ it is worth every cent ❤
What's even better, all 3 are getting hammered at the same time, it's not tea they are drinking, it's hard liquor, scotch, whiskey. Watch the glasses go up and down during the video. 🌧👋💕🇦🇺
One of the songs on my list of John Farnham performances, actually twice. Two live versions, slightly different, and both slightly better than the other. And Help you have already seen. -Burn For You.. ua-cam.com/video/4PPvOhPspEA/v-deo.html -Angels.. Notice how he holds the mike below his chest, both mikes are a metre away, which he does all the time to not drown out the other singers. JF with Lisa Edwards, a top singer in her own right, and one of John's back up singers for 20+ years. ua-cam.com/video/5_2NJRIdBO8/v-deo.html -Amazing Grace.. To show the calibre of his other back up Singers, showing you have to be good in your own right, just like Lisa. This is Vanetta Fields and Lindsey Field. ua-cam.com/video/_x6N94OEkZQ/v-deo.html -Please Don't Ask Me.. This one with Olivia Newton John, who we have recently lost. John has also had major cancer surgery including removal of part of his jaw and we may not hear him sing again. So let's enjoy this one as well.. Edit- JF has announced he is free of cancer, but has not mentioned anything about singing again. ua-cam.com/video/2uV_tZODfK8/v-deo.html -When Something Is Wrong With My Baby.... And even when he is singing with one of the most powerful voices on the planet, Jimmy Barnes, he still put the mike away from his face and closer to Jonny Diesel on guitar. ua-cam.com/video/AU_bCchDWF4/v-deo.html Or this version, both are great, but slightly different.. ua-cam.com/video/RAlFHSPLHpo/v-deo.html -When The War Is Over… Possibly one of his greatest vocals. ua-cam.com/video/lfWrXc5eN8g/v-deo.html -Or is the greatest. Gethsemane.. ua-cam.com/video/k5woMZtClhI/v-deo.html -How about a mike test. He has the power and ability to distort microphones, blow up amps, and get speaker stacks jumping. So this sort of setting up the venue test is a must. Lol Black Dog. ua-cam.com/video/F2Yi6TVi-sU/v-deo.html Besides having the best voice ever, JF can adjust his tone, pitch, volume, to match the person he is singing with to either match them or sing just under them depending on who's the head line act, he will even back himself down when he is the head line to give others their moment to shine, and if my ears were sensitive enough, I wouldn't be surprised if he could vary his vibrato, timbre and all of those other things that voices can do so he could accentuate the other singers.
You came across Jimmy a month or two back with his duet with INXS - “Good Times”. The man is an absolute legend! You have to check out his live version of Sam Cooke’s, “A Change Gonna Come”. It’s soul on steroids!!
Three Australian legends in unison... and one great reaction.😎 BTW, I hope that John Farnham is recovering!? (Anybody...?) All the very best from Germany
Hey Nick, I think your next move from here could and should be a bit of Cold Chisol. In saying that maybe try Bow River (in the round 2003) which also brings Ian Moss into your line if sight and then from there you need to try Ian Moss singing Georgia which is incredible and has it's own little story that makes it interesting :)
To hear another classic there is one of John’s concerts where Jimmy came on stage to sing when the war is over with John. I remember John had a long trench coat on And Jimmy had on a black leather jacket and white jeans. It was unexpected and really stirring. I have a picture in my album but no clue when or where. It is a cold chisel song but never sung better than when these 2 larrikins get up on stage. Enjoy.
Cold chisel drummer wrote the song, when they broke off, he went to LRB, John was singing there and he gave him the song. So cold chisel, Jimmy, and John all have rights to sing it.
@@ChrisFirth-do2sm the best versions I have heard is John in 2007 I think it was the last Farnham concert I attended. The first time it got to me was with that concert when Jimmy came on stage. I think it was 1987 or so.
Hi Nick Devonport is about 20 minutes from us Ulverstone is before Devonport,👍 and I'm also a really big Adam Lambert fan ,if you have a chance singing soaked,glam nation live wow you're going to be blown away.
THIS IS A CUT AND PASTE ON JOHN AND HIS FRIENDS. Jimmy Barnes used to be the King of Rock. John Farnham used to be the King of Pop. John's first hit song was Sadie the Cleaning Lady at the age of 18 in 1967 and here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/eZeRmpvCjEw/v-deo.html Olivia Newton John's favourite singer was John and they worked together from time to time. Here they are together at the opening Olympics ceremony in Sydney in 2000 singing DARE TO DREAM: ua-cam.com/video/NwIfmS-Pml0/v-deo.html They also did a 2.5 hr show together with another great talent (Anthony Warlow who was our Phantom from the show Phantom of the Opera) - the show was called THE MAIN EVENT: ua-cam.com/video/qd-USQDe9dg/v-deo.html As for Jimmy, yes he did WORKING CLASS MAN: ua-cam.com/video/t3TPmPOrDEk/v-deo.html and is also known for singing with Tina Turner SIMPLY THE BEST: ua-cam.com/video/crAgnI9BF6M/v-deo.html If you get the chance watch John singing his rendition of the Beatles classic HELP. John Lennon loved it and said the Beatles wanted to do it slow like that and the manager wouldn’t allow it: ua-cam.com/video/dv54giOSRKs/v-deo.html and YOU'RE THE VOICE: ua-cam.com/video/6m2m_9Uijso/v-deo.html OR THE WHOLE CLASSIC JACK LIVE CONCERT WITH THE MELBOURNE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA PLAYLIST: ua-cam.com/video/UWnm_qwa2Xg/v-deo.html Jimmy & John duet WHEN SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY BABY: (VERSION 1): ua-cam.com/video/ihsfx1LuoKc/v-deo.html (VERSION 2): ua-cam.com/video/AU_bCchDWF4/v-deo.html As for a bit about them. Both men come from Britain and came over to Australia when young. Like Olivia, John ended up in Melbourne and Jimmy ended up in Adelaide. John was born a year after Liv in 1949 and they kind of started off together at the same studios in Melbourne. She followed his career from afar. About the time of her passing, he had to have major jaw surgery for oral cancer. He has survived it and apparently can sing around the house. He won't come out of retirement though because he is 75 now. Jimmy's son is a well known singer and breakfast TV host down here too. Jimmy was the lead singer for the band COLD CHISEL and John played lead for a little while in THE LITTLE RIVER BAND. There is a nice biopic on John that recently was seen in the cinemas and now is on DVD - here is the trailer and the 1st voice you hear is ONJ: ua-cam.com/video/LocCfc5PKrE/v-deo.html Here are some links with Celine Dion and John: YOU’RE THE VOICE duet in Melbourne, Victoria in 1998. ua-cam.com/video/6bu-Ff9Ka6w/v-deo.html Them together sharing a kiss: ua-cam.com/video/seqvE9k-7tg/v-deo.html Celine on Oz breakfast TV paying tribute to John: ua-cam.com/video/QPa7ZE-3Ys4/v-deo.html Celine and John excerpt from TV show THE SUNDAY PROJECT: ua-cam.com/video/dX12Sa2Et8Y/v-deo.html Different version of YOU’RE THE VOICE Melbourne concert (less time): ua-cam.com/video/UxWdqk1Suac/v-deo.html Celine at the Colosseum in Las Vegas singing YOU’RE THE VOICE in Jan 2019. ua-cam.com/video/EbzcpgMRmY4/v-deo.html Another reaction channel (www.youtube.com/@TeacherPaulReacts/videos) has heaps of video reactions on the HISTORY of John Farnham - some are even in parts 1-12? Not sure how many parts. Just go through them.
Always better to go for live versions with John. He’s great anytime, but live….hes dynamite! A little info here…..back in the day those bottles were filled with real booze and the two of them got pretty hammered….so funny.😂
Tasmania Is not Australia 😄 . It's a world onto itself . Joking aside Please keep up with John, Jimmy, Johnny, LRB and the founders of Aussie Music. Australia and New Zealand (and Van Daemons Land) are true lost lands 😀

@@jaccilowe3842 yes one of the best things to come from the US.
I think he should have got a bigger mention for his part. It’s best with diesel’s talents.
Next to Brian may best among the best.

Barnsey, Farnsey and a splash of Diesel...Three Aussie legends. We had it good in the 90s!
Such a shame Help was blocked..but at least you got to see it!
Farnsey, Barnsey and Diesel, the trifecta of Great Australian Singers ❤
?: How high can you belt those lines?

Love this ❤❤. More Farnham PLEASE!! Everything you can find with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra ❤❤❤❤

Always watch them live. Both put so much energy and feed off their audience. John with the Melbourne symphony orchestra is a must
Thank you Nick. Our wonderful Aussie boys - John can sing any genre - the GOAT The VOICE. Jimmy - our rock, soul & blues King and Diesel - amazing guitarist and Vocalist. Check them out performing In the Midnight Hour. What a treat that is. ❤🎉

And that was the 4th or 5th night straight, out of the 10 days of concerts, some going closer to 3 hours as well.
Both these Aussie Guy's are the REAL DEAL.

Cold Chisel is interesting as Jimmy’s vocals and “”Ian Moss” on guitar and singing match really well but they are so different singers but it works beautifully
Also Jimmy singing anything is great but him singing “a change is gonna come” (cover) is epic
Also you have reacted to Jimmy before.. when he sang duet with INXS (goodtimes).
New sub here, a must see is the chapel recording of John doing Playing to win, its from 2011, shows that his amazing voice has only grown better with age, like a fine wine. keep up the good work
Really gotta see them live. And Diesel is the guitarist and does some harmonies. He's A pretty big star in Australia on his own. And Jimmy's brother in law. All magnificent
We're certainly blessed to be able to call these two phenomenonal men our own. It's funny though that at 65 I really didn't appreciate both more until I was in my 40s. I guess I grew up!
Tears to the eyes knowing they have both come through some challenging health issues and survived.
Saw Jimmy singing the other night. He was phenomenal, I last saw him in concert as an 18yr old and it was amazing and now I got to see him as a 50yr old and it was mind blowing that he basically sounded the same as when I saw him as an 18yr old. Anyone that can see him and his band Cold Chisel touring Australia and NZ it is worth every cent ❤
They are having so much fun 😊
Pretty damn good.
Oh i love that or Aussie legends are being found world wide. I love your reaction. Music royalty. 3 Legends.
What's even better, all 3 are getting hammered at the same time, it's not tea they are drinking, it's hard liquor, scotch, whiskey. Watch the glasses go up and down during the video. 🌧👋💕🇦🇺
You got that right!
Always do live performances of Jimmy and John.
One of the songs on my list of John Farnham performances, actually twice. Two live versions, slightly different, and both slightly better than the other.
And Help you have already seen.
-Burn For You..

-Angels..
Notice how he holds the mike below his chest, both mikes are a metre away, which he does all the time to not drown out the other singers.
JF with Lisa Edwards, a top singer in her own right, and one of John's back up singers for 20+ years.

-Amazing Grace..
To show the calibre of his other back up Singers, showing you have to be good in your own right, just like Lisa.
This is Vanetta Fields and Lindsey Field.

-Please Don't Ask Me..
This one with Olivia Newton John, who we have recently lost. John has also had major cancer surgery including removal of part of his jaw and we may not hear him sing again. So let's enjoy this one as well..
Edit- JF has announced he is free of cancer, but has not mentioned anything about singing again.

-When Something Is Wrong With My Baby....
And even when he is singing with one of the most powerful voices on the planet, Jimmy Barnes, he still put the mike away from his face and closer to Jonny Diesel on guitar.
ua-cam.com/video/AU_bCchDWF4/v-deo.html
Or this version, both are great, but slightly different..
ua-cam.com/video/RAlFHSPLHpo/v-deo.html
-When The War Is Over…
Possibly one of his greatest vocals.
ua-cam.com/video/lfWrXc5eN8g/v-deo.html
-Or is the greatest.
Gethsemane..
ua-cam.com/video/k5woMZtClhI/v-deo.html
-How about a mike test.
He has the power and ability to distort microphones, blow up amps, and get speaker stacks jumping. So this sort of setting up the venue test is a must. Lol
Black Dog.

Besides having the best voice ever, JF can adjust his tone, pitch, volume, to match the person he is singing with to either match them or sing just under them depending on who's the head line act, he will even back himself down when he is the head line to give others their moment to shine, and if my ears were sensitive enough, I wouldn't be surprised if he could vary his vibrato, timbre and all of those other things that voices can do so he could accentuate the other singers.
You came across Jimmy a month or two back with his duet with INXS - “Good Times”. The man is an absolute legend! You have to check out his live version of Sam Cooke’s, “A Change Gonna Come”. It’s soul on steroids!!
Three Australian legends in unison... and one great reaction.😎
BTW, I hope that John Farnham is recovering!? (Anybody...?)
All the very best from Germany
John is recovering. I heard, singing in the shower. Our guy WILL return.❤❤❤❤
Live versions are great too
Hey Nick, I think your next move from here could and should be a bit of Cold Chisol. In saying that maybe try Bow River (in the round 2003) which also brings Ian Moss into your line if sight and then from there you need to try Ian Moss singing Georgia which is incredible and has it's own little story that makes it interesting :)
To hear another classic there is one of John’s concerts where Jimmy came on stage to sing when the war is over with John.
I remember John had a long trench coat on
And Jimmy had on a black leather jacket and white jeans.
It was unexpected and really stirring.
I have a picture in my album but no clue when or where.
It is a cold chisel song but never sung better than when these 2 larrikins get up on stage.
Enjoy.
Cold chisel drummer wrote the song, when they broke off, he went to LRB, John was singing there and he gave him the song. So cold chisel, Jimmy, and John all have rights to sing it.
@@ChrisFirth-do2sm the best versions I have heard is John in 2007 I think it was the last Farnham concert I attended.
The first time it got to me was with that concert when Jimmy came on stage.
I think it was 1987 or so.
I live in Tasmania. A beautiful state.
Jimmy Barnes has been recovering from surgery again on his hip now touring again.
You really need to watch more john farnham try "your the voice" ,With the melbourne symphonty orchestra
Hi Nick we live in a place called penguin Tasmania omg ,we love Jimmy Barnes, and John Farnham has been recovering from cancer.
Near Devonport! May have passed through :) Tasmania is one of the most beautiful places in the world
Hi Nick Devonport is about 20 minutes from us Ulverstone is before Devonport,👍 and I'm also a really big Adam Lambert fan ,if you have a chance singing soaked,glam nation live wow you're going to be blown away.
And yet Diesel who is playing the guitar is the best singer out of the three!! 💯
Guitarist is diesel, jimmy's brother in-law also check there other songs
Jimmy Barnes daughter Mahalia is pretty awesome as well
THIS IS A CUT AND PASTE ON JOHN AND HIS FRIENDS.
Jimmy Barnes used to be the King of Rock. John Farnham used to be the King of Pop. John's first hit song was Sadie the Cleaning Lady at the age of 18 in 1967 and here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/eZeRmpvCjEw/v-deo.html Olivia Newton John's favourite singer was John and they worked together from time to time. Here they are together at the opening Olympics ceremony in Sydney in 2000 singing DARE TO DREAM: ua-cam.com/video/NwIfmS-Pml0/v-deo.html They also did a 2.5 hr show together with another great talent (Anthony Warlow who was our Phantom from the show Phantom of the Opera) - the show was called THE MAIN EVENT: ua-cam.com/video/qd-USQDe9dg/v-deo.html As for Jimmy, yes he did WORKING CLASS MAN: ua-cam.com/video/t3TPmPOrDEk/v-deo.html and is also known for singing with Tina Turner SIMPLY THE BEST: ua-cam.com/video/crAgnI9BF6M/v-deo.html If you get the chance watch John singing his rendition of the Beatles classic HELP. John Lennon loved it and said the Beatles wanted to do it slow like that and the manager wouldn’t allow it: ua-cam.com/video/dv54giOSRKs/v-deo.html and YOU'RE THE VOICE: ua-cam.com/video/6m2m_9Uijso/v-deo.html OR THE WHOLE CLASSIC JACK LIVE CONCERT WITH THE MELBOURNE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA PLAYLIST: ua-cam.com/video/UWnm_qwa2Xg/v-deo.html

As for a bit about them. Both men come from Britain and came over to Australia when young. Like Olivia, John ended up in Melbourne and Jimmy ended up in Adelaide. John was born a year after Liv in 1949 and they kind of started off together at the same studios in Melbourne. She followed his career from afar. About the time of her passing, he had to have major jaw surgery for oral cancer. He has survived it and apparently can sing around the house. He won't come out of retirement though because he is 75 now. Jimmy's son is a well known singer and breakfast TV host down here too. Jimmy was the lead singer for the band COLD CHISEL and John played lead for a little while in THE LITTLE RIVER BAND. There is a nice biopic on John that recently was seen in the cinemas and now is on DVD - here is the trailer and the 1st voice you hear is ONJ: ua-cam.com/video/LocCfc5PKrE/v-deo.html

Another reaction channel (www.youtube.com/@TeacherPaulReacts/videos) has heaps of video reactions on the HISTORY of John Farnham - some are even in parts 1-12? Not sure how many parts. Just go through them.
Always better to go for live versions with John. He’s great anytime, but live….hes dynamite!
A little info here…..back in the day those bottles were filled with real booze and the two of them got pretty hammered….so funny.😂
🙌🏻
Aussies yes but both were born in the UK.
Get a wheat pack and heat it in the microwave, put it on your back !!😅❤
Tasmania Is not Australia 😄 . It's a world onto itself . Joking aside Please keep up with John, Jimmy, Johnny, LRB and the founders of Aussie Music. Australia and New Zealand (and Van Daemons Land) are true lost lands 😀
studio is nothing compared to live with either of these artists
