    Lots of us Farnsie fans would agree that this is the best live version of this song. Apart from John's stella vocals, just the whole spectacle of the orchestra, lighting, the energy from his regular band members and John's charisma. It's hard to beat. Although ADCD's energy is hard to beat ....I think this was just spectacular

    ACDC doesn't really do this song in respect for Bon Scott. I really love Bons version, but this is awesome. Everyone was having such a great time. This was the first encore. I think Help came after this. Amazing to be able to belt these out after a 2 hour concert. I have always loved John but have come to a much better understanding of his talents & skill since watching so many reactors react to his songs.

    I was lucky enough to meet and see ACDC quite a lot of times in the mid seventies when they started playing around the Melbourne pubs and halls at least every second or third week Melbourne in the seventies was the rock capital of Australia and I meet a lot of the international bands that played at Festival Hall in Melbourne from Queen to the Doobie Brothers, Sweet, Dr Hook, and many more it was a great time being in Melbourne John was with L.R.B by the late seventies Countdown started in 75 Local bands like ACDC, Skyhooks, Hush, L.R.B, Sherbet, Billy Thorpe Split Ends just to name a few Now they were the day's of Rock & Roll

    As someone who is 65 and grew up in the 60s and 70s I can tell you what happened to our amazing music. Yes it was the Brits and the Americans who squeezed us out while they were in competition with each other. lol. Not to worry because us Aussies had the best of all worlds, we had your music, American music and then our own. Oh yeah and we had brilliant football that none of you knew about either and are now discovering.
    Cheers guys it's a pleasure to watch you.

    So sad to think that other than Australians people remember this song because of Jack Black disgraceful. Brian Johnson wouldn't perform this song out of respect for Bon saying it was his song. So therefore it was never played again after Bon died. So John took it on. Thank God he did. So we got to hear it live by a worthy performer. 💯❤️‍🔥 Goodbye 👋 from me too..

    Play a track of any Pommy warbler after listening to Farnham and you realise very quickly that their are up against a "Power House singer " who is a polished performer . We are currently being attacked by a very ordinary performer who many of the "Kids" like and he fashions himself with a gimmick for the populists . Jack Black also fashions himself on the "English" sound because the English Singers of the Sixties - Eighties made their mark , Farnham and the Guys from ACDC are English men growing up in Australia .John is now recovering from Cancer at the age of 73 ... Why on earth would you want to see a creampuff like Harry ???

    The original with ACDC on the back of a truck riding down Swanston street in Melbourne's CD and Bon playing the bagpipes??? or not. Will always be the best version for me. Farnham does a great rendition but I have seen ACDC live a couple of times and Farnham's version is pretty lukewarm in comparison.

    I watch these guys and am always disappointed. When Farnsey is knocking out a stunning performance they are discussing mullets.. when the Melbourne symphony orchestra is doing call & response to the guitar… they are doing some vapid BS. So very disappointing. Clearly they are covering this for clicks and not for the actual content. Do better!

We are here for a music and culture journey so yes we go off-piste sometimes but we are reactors... I am surprised your disappointed, we try to add a bit of human and humour thats all :)
