How can you tell when a man has supreme confidence in himself? He dances around in front of thousands of people with a tambourine.
You may not be aware that this mightily talented singer is recovering from an operation for cancer of his mouth. One can only wish him a full recovery and that we may all have the honour of listening to him sing once again.
Am loving this Aussie invasion😁❣️🇦🇺
I will not stop
Cany believe he wasn't popular in the USA
@@kristyhawesthey never knew.
And don't you know the orchestra was having the time of their lives. Don't think they get a chance to play like this very often.
My uncle played Double Bass in the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in the 1950s & 60s. Exactly, I never saw him play like that lol
I bet ACDC never thought one of their songs would be sung with a Orchestra.
I'm an Australian and there is no one who is more loved and appreciated in Australia than John Farnham. Thank you John for always staying humble, caring and dedicated to your music. Angus, Bon and Malcolm will love your version of this iconic song. RIP Bon and Malcolm. Thank you for the joy you brought us.
I'd never heard this song before and I'd never heard Farnham do anything but ballads before. This is one of the greatest things I've ever heard and I've listened to music my whole life. The performance is on such a high level of authentic showmanship it's almost bizarre. WOW.
There is no genre that John can't rule.
Every concert of John's was like this... 200% from everyone on the stage every time... he did Long Way and then came back after more than 2 and a half hours of singing like this and did Help as an encore. John is a very special person (like a lot of our artists are) we are very protective of him... because we love him.
And after singing Help he reluctantly sang Sadie the Cleaning Lady to everyone’s delight!! 😀 absolute legend!!! ❤️
@@SirRossco77 YEAH. GREAT. ACTOR. ALSO. HE. LOVED. SADIE. L.OL
@@gloriamureau9542 that is true. I watched an interview with him and he said that he’s grateful for Sadie because it helped launch his career.
Being at a Farnsey concert is one of the best experiences you get in life. Exquisite.
Where else would you get to see a symphony orchestra rocking out like that. And there's nothing this guy can't sing and make it his own. His voice is a true gift . 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Check out any thing from that concert it was great .
Have you seen him singing Grenada with Anthony Warlow absolutely great
@@geraldinesnell2878 I sure have. I've been to pretty much every Farnsey concert that came to WA
i'm one of the lucky people who grew up in the 70s n 80s with all these fantastic Aussie artists. I've seen Farnsey 17 times live, and would be first in line to buy tickets to No18 if it was up to me. Growing up with / in the Aussie pub scene, we were so spoiled - we would hit the pubs to see Jimmy Barnes, Cold Chisel, Diesel, Midnight Oil, INXS, Jon Stevens, Noiseworks, Screaming Jets, Vi Capri, Wendy Matthews, Tina Arena, Divynals, AC/DC, and many more, and be up close and personal with them all. Australia really rocked it out and it was AWESOME. Oh lordy, to be back in those days..........Keep going the Aussie rabbit hole, coz we're loving it m8 xox
I'm just getting started!!!
Agreed 💜
Rosslyn, I wholeheartedly agree, growing up listening to music by some of the greatest 🇦🇺 Australian artists in the world 🌎 ❤️
@@thereseelizabethries1083 Absolutely. I feel sad for the kids of today, who just don't have the connection to the music and the band, the way we did.
Great list there Roslyn. I saw many of them over the years. Nice to see Vi Capri there. Don't forget the 90's with bands like Custard, Regurgitator, Baby Animals, Vanessa Amorossi, The Drones, You am I and many more.
I think this version is even better than AC/DC, John’s range is endless and with an orchestra is simply sensational and everyone is having the best time.
OMG! This is not the John Farnham I (thought) I knew and loved. And a stage full of fabulous musicianship and energy. I can't breathe and I LOVE it! Your reaction is exactly perfect.
Exactly how i feel about this. You put it so well.
@@Teresia12 Thank you! Nothing like music - the universal language.
I love the respect you have for our John, because of the way you call him Mr. John Farnham. There have been only a few people in show business that other performers call Mr
As l write this John is in hospital in Melbourne undergoing cancer surgery , we are devastated and praying for a good result .
John is Australia’s favourite son. He can sing any genre and he is so awesome on stage, it really irks me that most reactors from the USA use the studio versions of his songs to react to instead of his live performances because they are so used of your singers sounding better that way. Most Aussie singers sound so much better live! John is a wonderful humanitarian, he is funny, he is giving of his time and huge talent to any worthy cause! He is a wonderful husband and father. His fame has not gone to his head, he is just like the bloke next door, the mate you would love to have a beer with at the pub. He treated his band and his fans like they were family and I think that he would be the only celebrity alive who would tell us all about his vasectomy on national TV! Oh and he knew how to rock leather pants! Nearly forgot that he is a rain god for his outdoor performances especially when he is doing a concert for drought stricken areas! You’re the VOICE John!
Man there is nothing or no genre this dude cannot sing and not only sing but absolutely slay it. Look how much fun he has doing his craft and how infectious it is on the crowd and the band. Next check out his sound check of the led Zepplin hit “black dog”
Black Dog + Farnsey = EPIC
@@julzhunt7790 Anthony Warlow and Farnsey = amazing!
The guy’s talent is as big as his humility. Weird way to say things, but John is the guy next door. Amazing.
@@martinm1231 And your point is? And why even make it? Nothing better to do with your time, lol?
Sammy Davis Jr said that John had the greatest voice he had ever heard in his life
Great passionate review, my man. We are very pleased to be able to share our best acts with you after 50 years of having them ignored by the rest of the world. We knew we were hearing greatness - it's nice to be vindicated. Everyone on that stage had worked, studied and played hard to deserve a place in the spotlight. As you say: "Even though I am late to the party...at least I came to the damn party." And you were most welcome.
And I know Perry is a fine singer...and David Phelps and Dimash...but they don't electrify you like this guy does.
Dimash is a boring as hell robot with stage 'presence' that has all the humanity and spontenaity choreographed out of it. See him five nights in a row and I'm sure you'd get five identical performances.
HA! Only John could get a symphony orchestra to rock like this and enjoy it. Did you see the conductor's face? 🤣 ...and at 73 he can still hit those notes. It's true he didn't go to the US or the UK to "make it" he stayed right here 💖 There are a few entertainers who can take control of the stage and the audience and John is a natural 😎
Actually John did go to the US but he was perceived to be too cocky
John may have sung in the US and if he was perceived to be too cocky (!) whoever said that just misunderstood his quirky personality and dry sense of humour. Cocky is self assertive, conceited and arrogant and that definitely isn't John Farnham.
unfortunately John may have to give up singing. he has just had cancer removed and had to have a bone graft to replace part of his jaw. He will have to learn to eat again. he is still in hospital.
The orchestra was Fantastic! The joy on the face of the conductor was delightful. What a fantastic gig for these lucky musicians. ❤
@@Dornie51 I so agree. John knew his talent, knew his worth, but was never demanding, conceited or arrogant. And he didn't enjoy being away from his family and home life when he toured with LRB. He built up an amazing career in Australia , did lots of charitable events, he visibly, tangibly, loves his backing singers and band mates, and he loves and appreciates his fans. He has a happy and enduring family life. Couldn't ask for much more, could you? And he shared his Voice with whoever wants to listen to it. . I am so thankful to be able to watch and listen on youtube. Yes, a JF concert is a party. . 8.1.24. UK. E❤
And then he came out and sang Help as an encore. John has said that Long Way to the Top is his favourite rock song of all time. He can sing anything. Playing to Win is also full of energy. He wrote it when he was in the Little River Band.
John loved his family and he hated being away from them...that is the reason he didn't want to travel to far.
Have a look at him perform LIVE in 2020 Fire Fight Concert he's 70 plus and the voice is still there.
Thank you for introducing me to this guy - also glad I at least made it to the party! And you know as a Steely Dan fan that I totally love artists that know what real musicianship and performance are - and that take big beautiful bands full of top-flight musicians on tour! I wouldn't mind if you did a whole series on live performances of outfits like that, past and especially present.
John can take any song and make it his. A rock and roll orchestra that killed it. Bloody brilliant.
John Farnham can sing anything. He is a God…love love love him.
John is world class and can sing anything and make it sound great.
This is why a lot of Australians & New Zealanders say this legend is the best. This man can sing any genre of music just put a mic in his hand and you will get an awesome performance any & every time. He can't wait to get on that stage and give the performance 150% for his fans. If you watch or have been to one of his concerts he loves shaking hands, and interacting with the crowd while belting the high notes, outstanding vocal control.
This concert went for 3hours on TV at the same time 😊❤❤
Was only a kid but I loved him even then. Was about 4 or 5 when thus concert was on the telly and Mum said I watched and sang along the whole 3hrs! Xo Australia 🇦🇺
I've NEVER been crazy about this song but John can make anything sound incredible!🔥 I love how the conductor of the Melbourne Symphony has an absolutely BLAST when John's performing! 🎶 The conductor is rocking when they're usually standing there like stones! Fantastic reaction as always, Michael!🎶😊 John's 73rd birthday was July 1st! Belated Happy Birthday, John! 🥳
The pure joy on his face is just beautiful.
Oh Yeh !! Respect . You have no idea what it’s like being at a JF concert. Then “ the voice” was the first encore followed by “ help”
Now that’s the real Thunder From Down Under. With a full orchestra no less? What talent THAT man has. Fantabulous performance and your comments were excellent as usual bro. 🔥🔥
Wow, thank you!
That conductor is having a ball.
First time Ever Heard Him❤❤❤❤❤
See, I told yah! Wait until you get to know his comedic side! He’ll have you in stitches, laughing! This man is a Genius! It’s why us Aussies 💗💗💗💗💗him & why he’s called “The VOICE”. Now Led Zepplin is NOT my cup of tea at all, but when Farnsey Sings Black Dog! He rips it apart! He can do any genre he likes!
His mother in law jokes were EPIC whenever he was interviewed
So good! John hits G5 in this song, right at the upper limit of his vocal range so this is a great one to showcase his talent! And it’s just so effortless for him too! He could stand on his head and still deliver a flawless performance.
He is now 73 years of age and he can still sing exactly like he did back in the '80's. Great entertainer.
Yep. Now that’s how you do a live performance. 😊😁👍🏼🇦🇺❤️
I have had the joy of seeing John perform live. I have also seen a number of other artists sing. There is no comparison. Every time John performs its a sellout performance. The one thing he loves to do is make people happy.
Remember this is at the end of the concert.
Ah 34 years ago that concert was bloody brilliant and I was 1 of thousands that went to that particular concert. All around Australia if you had that ticket we knew what we were going to get.And know watching everyone catch up to that concert and hearing him sing now, He has become an Aussie Legend. ❤🇦🇺
And then he came back on and sang Help!
All I can say is ... we were truly spoiled !!! ... and we knew it !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... love love love you John !!!!!!!!!! .. and THANK YOU !!!
You are a wonderful man Michael. I love your reactions because they are genuine and classy!
I'm guessing the orchestra will remember this fun performance forever!
The Voice rocked ACDC's Classic! There's something here for Everybody!! Awesome reaction!!
To see him in concert doing this stuff is an experience never to be forgotten. You're hyped for hours later.
John can sing anything and make it sound epic!
I have been to about 40 John Farnham concerts and every performance from John have been above and beyond. His concerts are more than just music but you are taken on a magical journey everytime. Nothing but excellence from John, his band and crew. I have seen a lot of performers over 50 years and none have come close to his live performances. He is a true performer and so down to earth, easy going guy. He is a national treasure to our country and he stayed in our country because he was committed to his family and his love of our country. We love him dearly and are praying for his fast recovery from cancer.
John always said this is the best Rock and Roll song ever written. He finishes most concerts with this one. I MAY be biased....but he has the best voice in the world. He isn't called 'The Voice' for nothing. EVERY concert...that man gives 110%. Over 100 concerts and he has never let me down.
You can only imagine how much the usually staid orchestra members must have felt about that little stand up and swipe section!! Everyone having a ball. John’s voice stupendous as the lead instrument. People got their money’s worth at that gig!
It makes me feel so proud to hear your words...this man means so much to us. Thank you! 🇦🇺
I always imagined other artists being afraid of John doing a cover of their hits. It is never the same and John puts that energy into everything he does. The Orchestra love to play for him and he is such a gentleman he will have introduced them all during the show before he thanks the audience and asks them to be careful driving home. I miss his live shows and I miss his heart.
Have you heard him sing Opera or Country yet? Country surprised me.
Hi Michael! One of your subscribers from Down Under! So you know John can do ballads and rock and roll, how about opera? There is a great video of John together with Anthony Warlow singing Granada! It’s awesome and funny! Anthony is a trained opera singer and was in The Phantom of the Opera and several others! I think you would like this! It shows more of John’s talents! Not bad for a plumber from Melbourne who has never had any singing lessons! Hope you can sometime in the future react to this! So glad you have discovered The Voice! Peace and Blessings to you and your family from Australia.
Yes Wendy! Great recommendation!
Oh yes, it's fabulous!
Thanks for another great reaction. You say you hear him sing ballads, and then you hear him sing this, and wonder where the limit is. Put it this way, give him your shopping list to sing and it will be a hit - he can sing anything and it will be great. And I'm sure we have all told you before, but I'll tell you again just to make sure you don't forget - make sure you react to live performances when it's Farnham 😁. As you see more of him you will start to see his personality come through. This performance for example - how many rock performers have you heard say to the fans "Be careful on the roads. I love you" at the end. And you may have also noticed if you want to attract Aussies do a Farnham reaction! 🤣 Keep 'em coming!
Thank you so much. In a totally different vein, his Amazing Grace live with Venetta Fields and Lindsay Field, his back up singers is also a pretty awesome watch. Loving your Farnsey reactions. He is the greatest!😄
the standout to me was when he did Carols by Candlelight and sang Silent night with Beeb and Gobes from LRB
We all love John in Australia he is an absolute legend and you’ll never hear anyone say a bad thing about him!! He’s the most down to earth person you’ll ever meet! And you are bang on about your summation about todays artists!! We ❤️ john!!! I remember growing up watching this on tape as a kid this whole concert on repeat. My mum gave me a great music history growing up! So much so I struggle with much of todays music!
It’s a total celebration of music! Love it!
Great words too DramaSydE ✌🏼
Well my friend that's some deep rock and roll right there I'll tell you amazing
We just plain love him, and have done for decades. Enjoy everything he does, you will be continually amazed.
Thanku for your fantastic reaction to our beloved John Farnham. We Aussies are so glad he’s getting the recognition from the world he’s always deserved. Love you John and heal fast. ♥️🙏 you are a legend.🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
OMG whoever organised the music is beyond belief. Firstly the backup singers are individuals in their own right magnificent. a combination of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and the band and the individual instrumentalist like the guitars, saxophone, the bagpipe, piano, violins, percussion etc is just absolutely brilliant. The arrangements, the lighting breathtaking. I reckon this is the greatest concert ever. It had it all. Real talent no BS. love from Australia
And this was the end of 2.5 hour concert with very little breaks. We love our John Farnham. Yes thankfully you came to the party!! ❤❤❤ Keep watching!! You'll never get enough. No gimmicks with John. Just a pure entertainer and a G.O.A.T. 🥰🥰🥰
Definitely not the Farnham I remember but what a GREAT performance! Thank you for sharing
It wasn't that he didn't want popularity, it's he had enough. He tried America and it became evident that he got enough love back home. More over he had a family and he was loyal to them. He's still married to the same lady for over 40 years, has had the same backers for god knows how long and has attracted exceptional talent everytime they head down under. He's sag with Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Olivia Newton John, Kyle Minogue, Celine Dion, Richard Marx, Tom Jones, to name a few. He's that talented uncle or father figure that everyone loves. Speaking of Ballads, here's one he wrote and sang for his wife
Burn for you ua-cam.com/video/4PPvOhPspEA/v-deo.html&ab_channel=eXDax
Have you heard John and Anthony Warlow singing Grenada yes John sang opera
My favourite version of this song . Farnsy is an Australian legend and can sing anything . I would have loved to have been the one that got that kiss from him. Saw him live once , not enough times though . We love him so much here , a National Treasure .
By the way, there is another version of this song with John Farnham AND Tom Jones live on stage! Absolute head banger!
I was scrolling the comments to see if someone had mentioned this.
John can sing rock, ballads, popular but he can hold his own with Tom Jones as well, and Mr Jones just doesn’t sing with anyone.
Had to watch again, was too stunned the first time to take it all in, love your facial expressions and your shared thoughts. You hit the nail on the head with the differences regarding auto tune and the ages, I just saw my first rock and roll orchestra and I am floored.
This is the magic of these concerts , put together the singer and his band with the classically trained orchestra add the crowd and it becomes pure magic you can see the orchestra loved being involved.
This is an absolutely EPIC performance, there is just SO much going on.
From the band, the backing singers, the orchestra, John and of course the audience.
If you don't know anything about John Farnham, you don't know anything!
Well now you do know him, welcome to the club mate, I can't wait for more.
Cheers!!
AC-DC was honoured to have John sing this hit. It's an Aussie thing. We help each other out........ Well.. We used to... 😟
I would sooo love to see you react to John singing ‘Gethsemani’ from ‘Jesus Christ superstar’ live performance. Gets my feels happening.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
The miracle that is John Farnham, is that he can take something that is already incredible and make it mind-blowing and impossible to replicate. Only he can do what he did with songs that he blessed with his voice. I hope he understands what a gift he is to us, and how loved he is. John is living proof that angels walk amongst us, because that voice isn't human it was heaven sent.
John can sing anything, including classical. Have a look at his Granada with another iconic Aussie singer, Anthony Warlow.
The instrumentation on this is just wild.
I must’ve seen this 50 times I’ve seen him sing this in concert several times … NEVER GETS OLD❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺👍
Now you know why we love John ❤ He oozes charisma. His diversity as a talented performer is second to none. What you see is what you get. Just awesomeness in the raw. He should also be commended on how he highlights all the talents of those he share's the stage with...from his backup singer's to the musicians and invited artists. He has the respect of most if not all those in the music industry. Aussies who grew up listening to John are sooo glad he didn't leave our shores. Well actually he didn't have too... he knew we were here for him and he stayed here for us !... We know he is one of the "world's best" of all time. Just a shame the rest of the world is only discovering John's talent now. He is someone us Aussies have appreciated for decades🤗When you can set UA-cam on fire and have not one bad comment made from anyone, just shows how he is an exceptional individual, much loved and talent wise ❤
BTW great to hear your genuine reactions and comments 🌹👍
Sings bent down to the audience with no loss of power!
I just remembered that this concert was televised on the Seven network in Australia, so having John and his band and the MSO and the 12,000 strong audience at Rod Laver Arena plus the millions watching it live on TV.
I was too young to go to this concert but glad that I still watched it live on TV.
He loves what he does, he values everyone on that stage, and every instrument he's used. He appreciates every audience at every show, big or small. I saw him live at a small concert in rural Victoria, it rained on and off through out, I sat with a plastic bag protecting my clothes, and he put just as much effort on that stage to a crowd of a couple hundred as he did in this one. His energy is felt in every song.
I can’t say it enough, John Farnham can sing anything!
What a great performance by John and your comments were spot on. I went to one his shows at the tennis centre in Melbourne, but unfortunately never got the chance to see his shows with the MSO. I love AC/DC, and respect the reason Brian had about Bon Scott after his death and refused not sing this song.👍🇦🇺😀
Bons Mum won’t let anyone sing it live, she owns the rights. That’s why Accadacca don’t do it live either.
@@PennyPies That's really interesting, I never knew that, although I still believe from what I have read & listened to, that they all had a great deal of love for Bon and if that is what his mother had requested, whether or not she had the rights, they would have respected her wishes. Thank you for that information Penny.👍🎸
Soo lucky to have seen every concert of John's
He's a legend here in Aus❤
I am an Aussie, worked as a roadie and sound engineer for local bands in my younger days. I had lots of "vocalists" say "I need more tops, I need more bottom, you don't make me sound good"... my answer to them was "I only project the sound that you yourself make, so make the right sound and all will be good". Some, probably those who would love autotune, hated me... others pulled up their socks, sucked it in, and delivered.
Can you imagine being in that audience? The excitement, the adrenaline pumping, your heart racing? The crowd singing and dancing. Literally being Present and not only watching and listening to Farnsey, his band, the backup singers And the orchestra but being a part of the concert!
Oh how I wish I'd been there.
I note that you have reacted to two Aussie legends John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes recently. Maybe you should check out their duo of the blues song being "Something is wrong with my baby". That song is brilliant.
It’s already been done and on the channel
this makes Aussies proud when people like you enjoy the best we have....& John is most definitely one of the best anywhere ever.
Dynamic " electric performance !"
That's an awesome reaction to an incredible Australian legend. Thank you so much. Respect!
This incredible singer started his career singing 'Sadie the cleaning lady ' And became an amazing Australian artist who should have been playing OS. He is so good.
john best male vox bar none for me. respect to every1 :) ... and such a humble kind gentlemen that he can keep the best of the best talent with him in a kind of friendly loving band spirit - and that camaraderie comes through with the total energy of the band as a whole
To sing ACDC is hard enough, and pull it off with the Symphony Orchestra..... well, it speaks for itself. You should hear him warm-up before a concert by singing "Black Dog" by Zeppelin...😳😳😳👍👍👍👍
have you ever seen an orchestra conductor grin so much!
I saw him live in his 70’s and he could still hit those notes! He’s the voice for a reason! Hope to see more reactions of John from you, you won’t regret it!
Notice he said Good night Melbourne at the end. Well he did this 3 times at this concert. He did 3 encores. 1989. He was 40.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
He still delivers this song with full power. At the age of 73. Check out some of his recent live performence. You will not belive your ears. This man is uniqe.
Once again John steals the song and takes it somewhere completely unexpected. ACDC merely do a sketch of the song. This performance fills it out. Farnham, and the whole oufit, are amazing. Respect. Thanks for your reactions.
The Melbourne Symphony was so rocking that night! So glad you're reviewing this so more people can get to enjoy it. It's an injection of pure joy 😀😀
well it is a " long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll". Just goes to show John always kills it, whatever song he sings.
or a long way to the cross if you want to #@%# a mole, or so I have been told 🤭🤣
