      He actually was sitting at his piano playing around with Help and came up with this arrangement in about 1979 and he sung it for the Queen in 1980 ❤ The lyrics suit John's arrangement the best and John Lennon said he wanted to sing it like this but the record company wanted the pop version. Celine Dion wants to sing it when she's back performing. John is her idol and she sang You're the Voice live with him here in Australia in 2018. Aussies favourite son and entertainer since 1967 ❤ He is also the kindest, humblest, funniest, lovely icon you will ever meet and can sing any genre and could have been a stand up comedian.

      Also at the same concert, have a look at Its a Long Way to the Top, Blow by Blow and Reasons. Watch his mic and mic stand tricks and how he interacts with his band and the audience. He always introduces his band during his concerts and some of them have been with him for 40 years. Then All our Sons and Daughters and Loves In Need both live in 1990. That's just to start. He last performed live in 2020 with Brian May from Queen and had not lost any of his power or ability to sing those high belting notes. He's a chameleon. Enjoy our John ❤🎉😂

      As you stated above, you were right the first time. It’s such a different arrangement though that I got why you were confused. All of us in Australia could sing along to this version because it was released and played on the radio. Seeing your little smiles was so much fun to see.

      The first band to bring out a slow version of this song was Deep Purple- although there is also footage of John Lennon singing the slow version in the back of a London taxi cab too! Farnham was a huge fan of the Beatles and took this idea and ran with it, creating such a brilliant rendition of this classic hit!

    You should try to get your hands on the recent John Farnham-Finding the Voice documentary done in Australia. It’s an amazing look back on all the struggles and triumphs of Johns life because it wasn’t an easy journey for him to get companies to play his music. I love hearing people outside of Australia reacting to his videos because they end up loving it as much as we do here. I’m glad that the US was stupid enough not to take him away from us and I am glad they get to enjoy him now.

    You know if John Farnham covers a song, it's going to be epic. He totally transformed this iconic Beatles classic into something so good, it might as well have been his own.
    You know it's top notch when greats like Tina Turner have covered it and Celine Dion wants to cover it..

    When John Farnham released his ‘come back’ album in the mid-eighties the Australian music gatekeepers tried their best to ignore it and kill off his career. He’d had a rocky time transitioning from being a highly successful teen pop idol to a contemporary artist and was considered very ‘uncool’ by the record labels and radio stations. But the Australian public made the album the most successful ever in Australia by a local artist, keeping it at number 1 for around 6 months and basically forcing radio to play it. I think his appreciation for his audience was very real and they loved him right back.

    In your own time re-listen to the original 'Help' by The Beatles, it's the same song.
    John was learning to play the original on piano, and came up with this version himself.
    Given you like heavier music, you should have a listen to John's song 'All our sons and daughters', live of course.

    Goosebumps every time I watch this video of John Farnham. He is a legend here in Australia. His concerts were a treasure to remember. Yeah, that was the Beatles song "Help" but slowed down. Even John Lennon agreed it was a better version. A fine gentleman and a great friend to many including the late Olivia Newton John. You have to check out his other songs in this concert. "Pressure Down" is a good one. He has many hits along the years. A Touch of Paradise, That's Freedom, Burn For You, Burn Down, Two Strong Hearts and Listen to the Wind and many more. I would appreciate it if you both check them out. Thank you for the reaction and look forward to many more. Peace.🤞💛

    Yes, this is The Beatles classic song Help. John's version leaves off the first three lines of the song. John first performed his version in 1980, at a Royal Charity Concert in front of Queen Elizabeth II at the Sydney Opera House; John Lennon was given a copy of Farnham's version, and was heard saying "This is how the song was meant to be sung". Unfortunately, John Lennon was killed later that year; as he had intended to do his own recording of Farnham's version.

  • @Oldbutnotout65
    @Oldbutnotout65 7 днів тому +17

    That performance is one of the encores at the end of a 2+ hour concert 1986. John F's version was released in 1980. John Lennon heard it before he passed and said that was the way the song was meant to sound. John Farnham started in 1967 and was still performing into his 70s until Covid shut the country down. He won "King of Pop" 5 consecutive years 69 -73, then faded a bit in the late 70s (due to poor management). John is the only Australian artist to have a number one record (album or single) in five consecutive decades. He has received the admiration of many international artists, such as Richard Marx, Celine Dion, Robbie Williams, Tom Jones, Freddie Mercury. Brian May, Sammy Davis Jnr, Ray Charles, just to name a few. I'll drop a few links to give you a taste and warn you if you start reacting to John, the Aussie Army will flood your channel. LOL if you decide to go exploring, make sure you only watch "Live" performances, he loves his fans and millions of us love him back. He is the most down to earth person, humble, funny and extremely talented.
    John is one of the most versatile vocalists you can find, he can sing just about any genre. He replaced Glen Sherrock as frontman for LRB for a time in the early eighties.
    They put out a doco last year called "John Farnham - Finding The Voice" which broke the box office ("The Voice" is what he is affectionately known as here), he can sing anything and make it sound great, First the trailer...ua-cam.com/video/LocCfc5PKrE/v-deo.html

    Tina Turner was spending time in Australia during this time and absolutely loved Johns restructuring of the song, she followed suit and did her own slow take with her own vocal mannerisms.

    You need too react to JOHN FARNHAM live. His cover of AC DC " Its a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll". Its better than the AC DC original with insane energy and positive vibe. to find it You tube search the following. >>>>>>. It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N' Roll)" [Live] from the 'Classic Jack Live!' DVD

    Hey Guys, that is the Beatles song, but a slower ballad version and John made that his. Apparently When John Lennon heard this he said that was how they wanted to do it, but were convinced by their record company to do rocky pop version.

    As Lennon said…this is the way the song was always meant to be sung. It wasn’t meant to be an upbeat ‘60’s pop song…it was meant to be a gritty plea for “Help”.

    It is the Beatles’ song but started at a different point, slower, but more emotive in accordance with the meaning of the
    lyrics. Farnham uses his voice to create the unique arrangement.
    It’s a grown up version of the Beatles’ hit. I’m from the Boomer generation who heard all the Beatles hits when they were first released and went to the cinema to watch the Beatles’ movies. I prefer this version of Help.

    The Beatles wrote it and recorded it but John fixed it. John Lennon wanted to sing it this way but they didn’t have our John’s voice. You do know if you are reacting to John we just keep appearing. He is so loved, our legend and the Voice. John sold out that venue in Melbourne more than 90 times in his career and that is just one City here. The last time I saw him live was in Melbourne. Everything he sings is better live. Thank you.

      Actually, they wanted to do it as a ballad, but the record co didn't allow it. Didn't fit the image they were trying to sell or something. The lyrics definitely have more power as a ballad.
      Apparently this was a kinda accident. The legend goes that he was learning piano and playing it slowly and realised that it suited the song better.

    Ok so now react to the live You're The Voice from the same concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Yes I know you reacted to the studio version, never mind, just do it we Aussies won't care and you'll enjoy it more too. Australia will reward you with new subs guaranteed if you go down the John Farnham rabbit hole. Oh check out John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes doing When Something Is Wrong With My Baby after You're the Voice. It's the only studio version I prefer John doing. The atmosphere of the club, black and white, incredible chemistry of the guys and Jimmy's brother-in-law Diesel's magic guitar solo.

    Its the same for INXS , they are better live as it gives great entertainers the chance to do their thing.
    This is the way the Beatles wanted this song sung but they were pressured by management to make it more up beat and Poppy.
    For more John Farnham check out his version of Black dog which was a sound check . Thank god a sound man hit record. Then there is all his duets . An opera with Anthony Warlow called Grenada, When Something is wrong with my baby with Jimmy barns, Please dont tell me with Olivia Newton John .
    In Australia he is The voice , and one of the nicest and funniest human beings we have seen.

    Check out "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby" it will introduce you to another superb Aussie singer, Jimmy Barnes (lead vocalist of Cold Chisel) whilst continuing your John Farnham rabbit hole as he sings this as a duet. I am partial to the studio version and the official clip, there's also a Hey Hey It's Saturday appearance, it has live vocals and lead guitar, the rest is studio recorded (a lot of show both here and in the US seemed to want to do that, so a lot of artists just had to go along with it). I'm sure there's live versions that are amazing as Jimmy Barnes is as good if not better than Farnham in there own ways.

    It is Help. McCartney said he told John that the song should have been a ballad. He was in talks to front Queen. John is just that good. But i suspect it was probably too much of a commitment for him. His nick name is whispering jack.

    You have not started when it comes to John Farnham. I will give you a few songs that he has been singing for years if you don't love these it's then there's something wrong. John sings anything and everything and everything he sings is perfection you must always listen to him live it's the only way to hear shear magic
    ACDC it's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll
    Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar.
    Please don't ask me with the late Olivia Newton John. When something is wrong with my baby with John Farnham and his mate Jimmy Barnes. The best version of that is one that was played on a program called Hey Hey it's Saturday That's freedom. When The war Is over.
