    John is the only singer I've ever seen that can sing a better cover than the original artists and I'm talking Art Garfunkel, ACDC, Cold Chisel (this song) and many many others. He's a master of his craft.

    • @devilsadvocate2548
      @devilsadvocate2548 4 місяці тому +1

      ​@Dr_KAP to me, musically this is a better version and also better with Queen Venetta on the backing vocals. Dannielle Gaha sounded a little flat in that IMHO. However, I prefer John's actual vocals on The Last Time version more. The extra maturity in his voice added a little more depth and I also think the 3rd verse in that version hits a little harder emotionally than this one. Either way, both are fantastic versions of this brilliant Steven Prestwich song.

  • @digitalgraffiti7546

    @magpiegirl3783 4 місяці тому +2

    This has always been a favourite song of John's. It was originally a Cold Chisel song and John does perform it with Jimmy Barnes. I've personally never liked the screaming, but by age 54, John performed this (2003) in The Last Time concert and is the best vocal performance he has given in my opinion.

  • @elizabethscott7660

    Farnsey is always flawless, spinetingling perfect, yet we also are sometimes astounded by his genius. No matter how good his performance is he's always pulled something magical out of his musical box of tricks. One of his most outstanding, emotive performances was Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar. The 1992 live is the best.

  • @Bobbygirl63
    @Bobbygirl63 5 місяців тому +12

    Please keep reacting to our John. I love seeing how much you appreciate his vocal mastery. He is the master of any genre he cares to sing. John is the GOAT!!!! If you want to get those crazy tingles, type in: John Farnham - Carols by Candlelight. Mary's Boy Child, You'll Never Walk Alone. Mary's Boy Child is great, but the chills really intensify when he sings You'll Never Walk Alone. I was fortunate enough to be there that night. It was an absolutely mind blowing performance.

    My 1st time hearing it live would’ve been 88 or 89. Have seen him live 5 times. He didn’t sing it at every show. Especially later on as his catalog grew so vast. The last time I saw him live was 2010, and he was still singing in the same key, and still bringing the house down.

    Steve Prestwich wrote this song while he was with Cold Chisel (Legendary Aussie Rock Band)
    Cold Chisel broke up soon after and Steve Prestwich joined the Little River Band with John. The song was then also released on one of the LRB Albums. Which is how John first got to record this song. John then also released the song on one of his solo albums after leaving the LRB and it became a regular on his concert setlists.
    Cold Chisel original version of phenomenal and John Farnham just took it to a whole other level. He went a lot harder on the vocals where as Cold chisels original is smoother. ❤❤❤

  • @GaryNoone-jz3mq
    @GaryNoone-jz3mq 5 місяців тому +4

    John is so good that he just draws talent to him. A prime example of this is that two of his backing singers (Vanetta Fields and Lisa Edwards) had prominent careers of their own before they decided to join John's band. In fact, Lisa is a hall of fame member in her own right. Not for backing John, but for the work she did before joining John's band. 😀 ❤😊

    This was John doing a cover of one of Cold Chisel's songs. I think you have just reacted to Jimmy Barnes, who was one of the two lead singers for that band. Jimmy is also one of the few artists that can go toe to toe with John. They do have a couple of songs where they sing as a duet ('When Something is Wrong With My Baby' is one of the best). Well done.

And in this particular concert he did an epic version of “amazing grace” with two of his backing singers, you’ve got to hear that.

    If you haven't already done so (I haven't seen it yet sorry if you have), I (and many others would too) recommend listening to the song immediately after this which you can see him starting to lead in to it by bringing Venetta and Lindsay up with him. That song is of course Amazing Grace. It's well worth the listen.

    'Please Don't Ask Me' live with the MSO is another incredible performance. He also does a version with Olivia Newton-John, but I think the solo version with the MSO is the best. And the song isn't a rock song, it's a whole different genre.
