This song is 32 years old and still kicks arse!! Two great mates that happen to be bloody phenomenal singers, god we are so lucky to have them in Australia.. 😊🇦🇺👍
Yes yes YES! These two are soo much better live, it’s ridiculous. You have to find them live on an old variety show called ‘Hey hey it’s Saturday’ it gives you goosebumps 👏🏻👏🏻
I have gone down the Rabbit hole of Aussie singers and artist We missed these singers in US during the late 80,s and early 90,s. I also love Matt Corby and Guy Sebastian. How did we miss this.??
Sadly, John who is now in his 70's, is currently recovering from surgery for mouth cancer. We may never hear him sing. live again. But if he doesn't, we have his voice to listen to forever. God bless you John.
These guys are such good singers that they are even more impressive live. Sometimes they have a little "scream off" where Jimmy shouts, John responds, Jimmy replies, John goes again etc. etc. It's not as though one is trying to better the other ... they inspire each other ... they are good mates and simply in awe of one another.
Yup, I have seen every name change/iteration and Diesel live, and he deserves every accolade people throw at him. I used to work with a guy who met Diesel years ago and he said he is a really humble person. I like to think that is true, because that is how he comes across in his interviews and videos.
Id love you guys to hear Gurrumul singing Wiyanthul. Hes a blind aboriginal artist, (deceased now). If you ever should make sure to have a warning at the beginning that images of deceased will appear. Its very important to indigenous culture. But he will blow you away.RIP Gurrumul.❤😢
I love these videos, we Aussie love seeing the reations from people around the world, to our music, if you grew up (teen years) in Australia these bands and mucisicans were our mothers milk, and made us appreciate music to this day.... and lament the loss of this type of ear joy.
Watching John Farnham singing with Ray Charles is something that leaves everyone stumped and speechless as well. Listening to John hit very high feminine pitches throughout the song, I dont think he was actually aware he could do it to be honest. It was all Improv.
U may like to know that both John and Jimmy have been married to the same women since they were young. So I guess they would know When Something Is Wrong With My Baby. They have each only been married once. Aussie legends both.
You would probably love Cold Chisel, Bow river , the live 20003 version is best , with Jimmy taking a bit of a back seat but is one of the best live performances ever . For John check out his sound check of Black dog , Grenada for a little opera and his duet with Olivia Newton John is an awesome love song . Great reaction keep them coming . If you have time look up Spiderbaits Black betty . another great Aussie pub band .
That Bow River performance is off the charts. David Blight absolutely KILLS on the harmonica. Ian Moss is brilliant as usual. #coldchisel From an Aussie girl who grew up with this music in the background of my life 🙂
The guitarist is Jonny diesel another Australian legend singer/songwriter check out jimmy barnes and diesel singing since I fell for you it’s just the two of them and diesel playing guitar it’s bad ass👌👍
John Diesel is Jimmy Barnes's brother-in-law. Check him out covering I've been loving you too long while playing guitar. The 3:55 version does not get cut off. The other one does.
Beautifully normal for both of them, this is what we grem up with, the soundtracks of Jimmy & John, jimmy's band Cold Chisel. What a magical rabbit hole you can jump down 💯🇦🇺
These two men have some of the most powerful voices in the entire music industry, and normally they do hold back in duets with all the people they have sung with. But when they are together it is one of the few times they love to just drop everything and belt as hard and loud as they can and know full well they wont be able to drown out the other.
To see them at their most powerful, it is best watching Jimmy sing "When The War Is Over, LIVE sydney 2003" with his old band Cold Chisel. And John with his own loosely mixed group singing their concert warmup cover of "Black Dog". Listening to them just blast at their maximum output.
Great to see your mate enjoying some Farnsey, Barnsey and Diesel.. May I suggest Jeremy might like John Farnham's - Help with the MSO (Melbourne Symphony Orchestra) or Long Way to the Top, same concert, mind blowing!! Don't forget John Farnham doing Zepplin's Black Dog warm up, sound check. These Aussie legends are not just insanely good, but they're also really great guys, totally without ego.😊
So glad your mate like it. Hopefully he looks into some mad Chisel songs after this to see what Barnsey can really do when he wants to. Great reaction like always, thanks Monty
Love your reaction but you need to check out the live version of this song from the 1991 ARIA Awards show, especially the a capella ending. The guitarist is Johnny Diesel brother-in-law of Jimmy Barnes and he is a great Australian artist in his own right. This song is a cover version but the emotion put in this performance is so epic. John Farnham is a long time artist and does some great duets; check out his duet with Olivia Newton John singing Please Don't Ask Me from The Main Event Concert, the chemistry between these two iconic Australian artists is captivating.
Do Re Mi - Man Overboard. Jet- Are you Gonna Be My Girl, James Rayne- Fall of Rome, Midnight Oil, Jeff St. John, Divinyls, oh and British India- I Can Make You Love Me...End of Fashion- Fussy... all good Aussie music
Hello from NZ to your bro Jeremy. Music was either good or bad there weren't really any genres. That was an American thing that come in later. Love that you guys love the music we were raised on ☺️
Farnsey and Barnsey, the best. Ironically both born in the UK but as Aussie as Vegemite, footy and kangaroos. Listening to you guys talking about raw, real, heartfelt music reflected a somewhat wistful conversation I had with my son today.
This song was released in Australia in 1991, when I was 14. It went to number 1 and stayed there for weeks. Looking back on growing up with Jimmy Barnes' and John Farnham's voices as basically the soundtrack of my life, I realise that I've largely taken them for granted. But watching reaction vids from folks like your good selves, and seeing how much you respect and admire them, it reminds me that I've been very fortunate. It's well and truly time for the rest of the world to find out about these blokes. Thanks for the respect you've shown to a couple of Australian music icons. Also - Diesel (the guitarist) is a terrific singer in his own right. Check out Love Junk, Crying Shame and Tip of My Tongue. I reckon you'll like them.
Oh , I agree. I certainly appreciate them more after hearing reactions, especially from OS reactors. Though I must admit there's very few Aussie reactions.
Welcome Jeremy. Doesn't get better than John and Jimmy singing together. You need to check out a live version as well. That will blow you away. And you did get it right Jimmy has had his struggles but life is good for him Now. And Monty it was cool watching your face knowing what was coming up and making sure that Jeremy didn't miss anything . Well done
This is the version of this song to watch - ua-cam.com/video/8gzH9qk8cOc/v-deo.html Not only is it live, but features a great little acapella finale from Barnsey, Farnsey & Diesel.
Keep on Discovering Australian Music….. we have a rich music history….. going all the way back to the 60’s ….. keep on digging their is plenty of gold to be discovered.
You're both 100% right boys, we've got to get back to real music, real singing! Great reaction, I always look forward to your new videos. G'day from Australia.
Monty I watched your first reaction to this song and I could see the joy you had today showing something you enjoy to your mate. Absolutely fantastic to see anytime, or any place. All of Oz will tell you live is better especially in the era that both of these singers come from. Australia is a big continent/country with a small population. Bands had to do the hard yards and gig live to become known, and travel far and wide. Pub rock is a result, and is something you'll hear about from Australia. The win from this is that our true performers, can and do sing just as good, and if not better live. So, so much fire music for you to react to. More from my idol Barnsey from his Cold Chisel period to his solo career and to his collaboration with other artists including INXS, Tina Turner, Sam Moore, Joe Bonamossa, and Diesel aka Johny Diesel aka Mark Lizotte who played the guitar solo and sang back up here. This is Jimmy's brother in law. I saw Jimmy and Diesel at a concert and they are brilliant. Both Jimmy and John have had surgery recently. Wishing them good vibes and love for their continued healing. If you love musicians who can collaborate together I would recommend Knocking on Heaven's Door (yes a Bob Dylan's cover) from Jimmy's page. Some context and background though.... they practice once. The video is Old and not clear, but I know you'll enjoy it. It is from a memorial concert for Andy Durant who passed at around 25 years of age from melanoma. First verse from Mossy (Ian Moss, also of Cold Chisel fame) with harmonies from Jimmy, second verse from Mick Pearling, lead singer from Stars, the band Andy was in, followed by Broderick Smith in the 3rd verse. Wait until Jimmy picks up the microphone and sings with Renee Geyer. 🌸 Other obscure artists from Oz could include Jeff St John (RIP) with Teach me how to fly and Fool in love. The band Goanna with a song Livin' on a Razors edge. Rickie Lee Coulter singing Not Too Late. The Church with Under the milky way. The Real Thing by Russell Morris and then the version by Kate Ceberano, Mahalia Barnes (Jimmy's daughter) and Nikka Costa. Axiom with Glenn Shorrock of Little River Band fame, and Brian Cadd with A little ray of sunshine, Or Brian Cadd with Ginger Man. Then you could try Doug Parkinson (RIP) singing the Beetles classic Dear Prudence. What a powerful voice. Little River Band, with either Glenn Shorrock or John Farnham as lead singer. Both backed by Graeham Goble and Beeb Birtles with gorgeous harmonies. The Stars singing Rocky Mountain Way Live at the Palais in 1977 to pay homage to Andy on Guitar, and to enjoy Mal Eastick on talk box. Our early bands include the Easybeats with Friday on my Mind and She's so Fine. The lead singer Stevie Wright sings Evie parts I, II and III which will blow your mind. There are links to this band and ACDC for you to discover. Billy Thorpe, Masters Apprentices (Farnseys buddy and manager's band, Glenn Wheatley RIP) with Its because I love you. Zoot with Rick Springfield Daddy Cool with Ross Wilson. Aussie Crawl, Crowded House, Hoodoo Gurus, Southern Sons with lead singer Jack Jones AKA Irwin Thomas who has at times been compared to Farnsey. Black Sorrows with Chained to the Wheel from 1999 to indroduce you to Vikka and Linda Bull.... Maybe some of our female goddesses like Helen Reddy, Tina Arena, Vanessa Amorosi, Jessica Mauboy, Colleen Hewitt singing Day by Day, Renee Geyer, Sia, and Delta Goodram. Samantha Jade and Cryus Villanueva singing Hurt Anymore Dami Im singing her Eurovision song Sound of Silence. Then from across the ditch and our NZ cousins try Noiseworks, and Split ends. Also Max Merrit, with Slipping away. Very long message. I wish you well. Happy journey.
What’s is so nice about these two fabulous men is that they both married the love of their lives and are both still married to this day. Jimmy Barnes has three books you can read about his tragic childhood to true fame with his band COLD CHISEL and also his solo career. John Farnham is one of the nicest guys and grew up on a Cattle farm with a great family.
I just cut and pasted that info in the other comment because so many people are discovering them but the song missing in that was the one most people are looking at so it was not in that description. It is a MUST SEE in a long 2 hour concert in Melbourne with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra - a completely new rendition of the Beatles classic HELP. I will give you the link to the Beatles one too so you can tell how completely different they are in arrangement. The late John Lennon heard John's rendition and loved it. John Farnham's HELP with the MSO: ua-cam.com/video/dv54giOSRKs/v-deo.html The Beatles classic Help: ua-cam.com/video/2Q_ZzBGPdqE/v-deo.html
This version of the song is great, but the live version is fantastic!!!!The story goes that they were so pissed by the end of doing this, that when John was put into a car to be driven home, he couldn't even remember his address. These two guys have been great friends for decades.
Be sure to check out some of our female greats too... Jessica Mauboy, Kylie Minogue, Sia, Iggy Azalea, Kate Ceberano, Vika & Linda Bull (The Black Sorrows) , etc
The live version of this Sam and Dave song from a show called Hey Hey It's Saturday is even better. It finishes with an acapella verse with the three of them in perfect harmony.
Love all your reactions on Monty's Hour and great to see you bring your mate, Jeremy, along for the ride. If you would like to see another great song from these 3 legends, check out 'In the Midnight Hour' live 1991. I think you you will love it. ua-cam.com/video/sZwoLwNQSUw/v-deo.html Keep up the great work!
LIVE. Both are better. Try Cold Chisel live 2003 "Bow River" and for John "When the War is Over from the last time concert. Best have your mate with you when you do them.
You should see their live version of it always watch live for these guys Watch Jimmy barnes with Joe bonamassa Stone cold amazing vocals and two amazing guitar 🎸 solo's and jimmy's in he's 50s and only getting better like a good wine If want to see early days cold chisel wild thing live performance last stand John Farnham doing Beatles cover help with Melbourne symphony orchestra Also John Farnham voice with Melbourne symphony orchestra Real rock AC/DC cover along way to the top with Melbourne symphony orchestra All amazing Jimmy 4 decades of no1s John 5 decades of no1s So plenty to choose from just do live john's the more versatile he's sings every genre cheers guys 🦘🇦🇺👍
Here's another jam with Jimmy Barnes and the late Michael Hutchence INXS 'Good Times' Live ua-cam.com/video/TimxLOW922o/v-deo.html Jim was the King of Rock once and John was the King of Pop once. Both go back decades. John started in 1967 with SADIE THE CLEANING LADY ua-cam.com/video/eZeRmpvCjEw/v-deo.html and went on from there. Close friend of Olivia Newton John who he worked with in Australia from time to time. This is a great one from the same concert too: IT'S A LONG WAY TO THE TOP IF YOU WANT TO ROCK N ROLL ua-cam.com/video/73X_z_zW4Sg/v-deo.html Also same concert: YOU’RE THE VOICE ua-cam.com/video/6m2m_9Uijso/v-deo.html Also sang DARE TO DREAM from Sydney 2000 Olympic Opening Ceremony with ONJ - ua-cam.com/video/NwIfmS-Pml/v-deo.html (note you may need to alter a VPN setting to Australia to see that). This is good too - the 2.5 hr concert with ONJ and our Phantom from Phantom of the Opera (Anthony Warlow):- THE MAIN EVENT ua-cam.com/video/qd-USQDe9dg/v-deo.html A bit on John - Born in the UK in 1949, came out when 10 to Melbourne Victoria, Australia. Same sort of history as Olivia Newton John, who was born in the UK in 1948 and came out when 5 to Melbourne. Both worked in the industry in Melbourne in the 1960's and eventually Olivia ended up back in the UK and then the US. John became the King of Pop with the 1967 hit ‘Sadie the Cleaning Lady.’ John had his chances to work in the US but wanted to live in Australia. He is now in his 70's and sadly went through a 12 hour operation for throat cancer losing part of his jaw back about the same time his dear friend Olivia died in August 2022. Jimmy Barnes was born April, 28 1956 in Glasgow, Scotland. His original name was 'James Dixon Swan' and his father was a featherweight boxing champion in Glasgow. In 1961/62 his family moved to Australia. After playing in a school band (he replaced Bon Scott (who joined AC/DC) as lead vocalist in the band Fraternity. Then, aged 16 and a half, he joined Cold Chisel in 1973. First they played the pubs of Adelaide, then they played the pubs of Australia and finally they got a record contract in 1976. Now, Cold Chisel are Australian history - one of the best bands Australia ever had. They split up in 1983 because they thought they weren't playing good music anymore and they didn't want to rip their fans off with another album.
If you think that this is great, then P_L_E_A_S_E watch the LIVE version from a TV variety show named 'Hey, Hey, It's Saturday'. It is fantastic. The guitarist and singer, Diesel, (stage name) is a singer and headed a band, Johnny Diesel and the Injectors.
This song is 32 years old and still kicks arse!! Two great mates that happen to be bloody phenomenal singers, god we are so lucky to have them in Australia.. 😊🇦🇺👍
You always gotta do Barnesy and Farnsey live. You can not beat any of their live performances!!!! 😀
Yes yes YES! These two are soo much better live, it’s ridiculous.
You have to find them live on an old variety show called ‘Hey hey it’s Saturday’ it gives you goosebumps 👏🏻👏🏻
@@clarissarwilliams_ Yes, he definitely should react to that one...even though he has done the official video.
Yes!!! So disappointed!
Lovin me some Barnsey and Farnsey!! And Diesel! 3 Great Aussie Legends!!
Farkin oath!
Yes indeed. You need to watch a live version! Even better. 3 of our best. Luv from Australia ❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️
I have gone down the Rabbit hole of Aussie singers and artist We missed these singers in
US during the late 80,s and early 90,s. I also love Matt Corby and Guy Sebastian. How
did we miss this.??
Sadly, John who is now in his 70's, is currently recovering from surgery for mouth cancer. We may never hear him sing. live again. But if he doesn't, we have his voice to listen to forever. God bless you John.
Live is even better
Both of you so very well said waves hi from Australia
These guys are such good singers that they are even more impressive live. Sometimes they have a little "scream off" where Jimmy shouts, John responds, Jimmy replies, John goes again etc. etc. It's not as though one is trying to better the other ... they inspire each other ... they are good mates and simply in awe of one another.
Yes, John never competes with anyone, he's so respectful of other singers and humble about himself.
The cream always rises to the top!
3 Aussie legends. Diesel needs more love!
Yup, I have seen every name change/iteration and Diesel live, and he deserves every accolade people throw at him.
I used to work with a guy who met Diesel years ago and he said he is a really humble person. I like to think that is true, because that is how he comes across in his interviews and videos.
Absolutely 💯 %. One of my favs is Cry In Shame.
Seen Diesel live a couple times. He is an awesome guitarist and such a great singer
@@sandyproctor4901 Fully agree
Diesel is ours. We don't share the true gems.
do yourself a favour -- try the live version on 'hey hey it's saturday'
One of the best songs you will ever hear is john singing the Beatles cover of help live with the Melbourne symphony orchestra
Id love you guys to hear Gurrumul singing Wiyanthul. Hes a blind aboriginal artist, (deceased now). If you ever should make sure to have a warning at the beginning that images of deceased will appear. Its very important to indigenous culture. But he will blow you away.RIP Gurrumul.❤😢
I love these videos, we Aussie love seeing the reations from people around the world, to our music, if you grew up (teen years) in Australia these bands and mucisicans were our mothers milk, and made us appreciate music to this day.... and lament the loss of this type of ear joy.
The guitarist is Jimmy Barne's brother in law and a singer/songwriter in his own right, his name is Johnny Diesel
Watching John Farnham singing with Ray Charles is something that leaves everyone stumped and speechless as well.
Listening to John hit very high feminine pitches throughout the song, I dont think he was actually aware he could do it to be honest. It was all Improv.
They also do it great Live !
You so should have done it live.. the live one from hey hey its Saturday is the best
U may like to know that both John and Jimmy have been married to the same women since they were young. So I guess they would know When Something Is Wrong With My Baby. They have each only been married once. Aussie legends both.
You HAVE to show him Bow River by Cold Chisel
G'day guys, great video. I'm glad you found two of our best at their best.
See the live version!!!
You would probably love Cold Chisel, Bow river , the live 20003 version is best , with Jimmy taking a bit of a back seat but is one of the best live performances ever . For John check out his sound check of Black dog , Grenada for a little opera and his duet with Olivia Newton John is an awesome love song . Great reaction keep them coming . If you have time look up Spiderbaits Black betty . another great Aussie pub band .
Totally agree! Granada is a lot of fun, Black Dog is amazing, Please Don't Ask Me with Olivia is poignant and such a beautiful harmony.
That Bow River performance is off the charts. David Blight absolutely KILLS on the harmonica. Ian Moss is brilliant as usual. #coldchisel
From an Aussie girl who grew up with this music in the background of my life 🙂
@@peitajean Without a doubt one of the best harmonica performances of all time . almost steals the show.
Just remember they were and are solo artists not a group so watch their live concerts only particularly Johns both Aussie legends and enjoy
That's Johnny diesel, always with them, he's a legend
Good on ya for introducing your mate to some great soul music from Oz. You can't beat soul & blues.
Cold Chisel Don't Let Go ,Live.
You need to watch live performance of this one it's amazing
The guitarist is Jonny diesel another Australian legend singer/songwriter check out jimmy barnes and diesel singing since I fell for you it’s just the two of them and diesel playing guitar it’s bad ass👌👍
John Diesel is Jimmy Barnes's brother-in-law. Check him out covering I've been loving you too long while playing guitar. The 3:55 version does not get cut off. The other one does.
We have always had an amazing music scene here in Australia. I have had the privilege of seeing both John & Jimmy live many times over the years.
Pub rock died though in the 90s. Property developers shut it all down because it was noisy.
The Teskey Brothers and Ash Grunwald. Great Aussie blues artists.
Absolute LEGENDS - Both.
Beautifully normal for both of them, this is what we grem up with, the soundtracks of Jimmy & John, jimmy's band Cold Chisel. What a magical rabbit hole you can jump down 💯🇦🇺
These two men have some of the most powerful voices in the entire music industry, and normally they do hold back in duets with all the people they have sung with.

And John with his own loosely mixed group singing their concert warmup cover of "Black Dog".

Don't forget John Farnham doing Zepplin's Black Dog warm up, sound check. These Aussie legends are not just insanely good, but they're also really great guys, totally without ego.😊
You have to listen to John Farnham live... he is so much better live, and so is Barnsey on this song as well.
There are a couple of live versions of these two with this song.... check it out.
Jay & Silent Bob find soul!! :) Great reaction lads, keep up the good work.
Cheers for your reaction 👍
Hope you do heaps more from these Aussie legends and do live versions
Especially john farnham he's on another level live
So glad your mate like it. Hopefully he looks into some mad Chisel songs after this to see what Barnsey can really do when he wants to. Great reaction like always, thanks Monty
Love your reaction but you need to check out the live version of this song from the 1991 ARIA Awards show, especially the a capella ending.

I’ve seen this live. Also seen both John and Jimmy live multiple times. ALWAYS awesome.
Hello from NZ to your bro Jeremy.
Music was either good or bad there weren't really any genres. That was an American thing that come in later. Love that you guys love the music we were raised on ☺️
Great reaction guys 💥
As we say here down under..ozzie ozzie ozzie..OY OY OY
Farnsey and Barnsey, the best. Ironically both born in the UK but as Aussie as Vegemite, footy and kangaroos. Listening to you guys talking about raw, real, heartfelt music reflected a somewhat wistful conversation I had with my son today.

By the way John Farnham was diagnosed and treated for mouth cancer August 2022. Pray for fill healing.
We have had real music for 50+ years
Welcome Jeremy. Doesn't get better than John and Jimmy singing together. You need to check out a live version as well. That will blow you away.
And you did get it right
Jimmy has had his struggles but life is good for him Now.
And Monty it was cool watching your face knowing what was coming up and making sure that Jeremy didn't miss anything . Well done
Merely as a suggestion, you could react to 'Mondo Rock - Come said the Boy'
This is the version of this song to watch - ua-cam.com/video/8gzH9qk8cOc/v-deo.html
Not only is it live, but features a great little acapella finale from Barnsey, Farnsey & Diesel.
Great to see you sharing with your mate ❤More shared reactions would be fire 🔥
Great reaction, you definitely need to see the live version of this song they performed on ‘Hey Hey it’s Saturday’ !!!
That was an awesome reaction from both of you.. ..... Cheerio from Down Under 🌺
Keep on Discovering Australian Music….. we have a rich music history….. going all the way back to the 60’s ….. keep on digging their is plenty of gold to be discovered.

You have a great ear for music and I love most of the music you review ❤!
Hey Monty's Hour you should've done the live version brother, enjoyed the reaction anyway.... (Hey Hey it's Saturday performance is excellent)
Introduce your friend to Jimmy Barnes featuring Joe Bonamasa Stone Cold
Thanks for sharing the Aussie love ❤️❤️
You're both 100% right boys, we've got to get back to real music, real singing!
Great reaction, I always look forward to your new videos.
G'day from Australia.
You should watch them sing this song Live.
Type in:
Hey Hey its Saturday When something is wrong with my baby.
Its so Joyful.an uplifting.
love this dong and have you watched this live? its so good.
Jimmy Barnes sounded like a broken chain saw most of his career.

Loving the dual action boys - need to share 'Wild Thing' by Cold Chisel with Jeremy so he can fully appreciate some 'real' music.
Keep it up mate.
What’s is so nice about these two fabulous men is that they both married the love of their lives and are both still married to this day. Jimmy Barnes has three books you can read about his tragic childhood to true fame with his band COLD CHISEL and also his solo career. John Farnham is one of the nicest guys and grew up on a Cattle farm with a great family.
Great and generous reaction guys !! Awesome shared feeling and appreciation of music
I just cut and pasted that info in the other comment because so many people are discovering them but the song missing in that was the one most people are looking at so it was not in that description. It is a MUST SEE in a long 2 hour concert in Melbourne with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra - a completely new rendition of the Beatles classic HELP. I will give you the link to the Beatles one too so you can tell how completely different they are in arrangement. The late John Lennon heard John's rendition and loved it.

This version of the song is great, but the live version is fantastic!!!!The story goes that they were so pissed by the end of doing this, that when John was put into a car to be driven home, he couldn't even remember his address. These two guys have been great friends for decades.
Be sure to check out some of our female greats too... Jessica Mauboy, Kylie Minogue, Sia, Iggy Azalea, Kate Ceberano, Vika & Linda Bull (The Black Sorrows) , etc
The live version of this Sam and Dave song from a show called Hey Hey It's Saturday is even better. It finishes with an acapella verse with the three of them in perfect harmony.
Love all your reactions on Monty's Hour and great to see you bring your mate, Jeremy, along for the ride. If you would like to see another great song from these 3 legends, check out 'In the Midnight Hour' live 1991. I think you you will love it.

Jimmy was a big drinker and it was fairly common in the early days for him to have his bottle of vodka on stage taking swigs.
You want guitar check out Tommy Emanuel, he was making records probably before J F but not many people play a 12 string Spanish guitar.
Here's another jam with Jimmy Barnes and the late Michael Hutchence INXS 'Good Times' Live ua-cam.com/video/TimxLOW922o/v-deo.html
Jim was the King of Rock once and John was the King of Pop once. Both go back decades.
John started in 1967 with SADIE THE CLEANING LADY ua-cam.com/video/eZeRmpvCjEw/v-deo.html
and went on from there. Close friend of Olivia Newton John who he worked with in Australia from time to time. This is a great one from the same concert too:

THE MAIN EVENT ua-cam.com/video/qd-USQDe9dg/v-deo.html
A bit on John - Born in the UK in 1949, came out when 10 to Melbourne Victoria, Australia. Same sort of history as Olivia Newton John, who was born in the UK in 1948 and came out when 5 to Melbourne. Both worked in the industry in Melbourne in the 1960's and eventually Olivia ended up back in the UK and then the US. John became the King of Pop with the 1967 hit ‘Sadie the Cleaning Lady.’ John had his chances to work in the US but wanted to live in Australia. He is now in his 70's and sadly went through a 12 hour operation for throat cancer losing part of his jaw back about the same time his dear friend Olivia died in August 2022.
Jimmy Barnes was born April, 28 1956 in Glasgow, Scotland. His original name was 'James Dixon Swan' and his father was a featherweight boxing champion in Glasgow. In 1961/62 his family moved to Australia. After playing in a school band (he replaced Bon Scott (who joined AC/DC) as lead vocalist in the band Fraternity. Then, aged 16 and a half, he joined Cold Chisel in 1973. First they played the pubs of Adelaide, then they played the pubs of Australia and finally they got a record contract in 1976. Now, Cold Chisel are Australian history - one of the best bands Australia ever had. They split up in 1983 because they thought they weren't playing good music anymore and they didn't want to rip their fans off with another album.
Really wish you would do live version's so much better. You don't get the theatrics buts the singing is amazing.
this is a cover song from sam & dave recorded in the 1960s and they were two black americans
They got blind drunk making this video
And John got lost on the way home lol
@Carolyn H yes...he couldn't remember where he lived lol
Hi guys if you want to hear some newer bluesy music from Australia, check out the Teskey Brothers - Hold Me. They’ll blow you away
please check out jimmy and Tina turner
This could be Harry singing about Meghan 😄
Watch the live version. It's so much better
If you think that this is great, then P_L_E_A_S_E watch the LIVE version from a TV variety show named 'Hey, Hey, It's Saturday'. It is fantastic. The guitarist and singer, Diesel, (stage name) is a singer and headed a band, Johnny Diesel and the Injectors.
Hello, could you please make a reaction to the song "Only You" by Skatman John
Farnham didn't want to go to America
So true...that's why he joined LRB. So he could stay out of America. What?
