    He gets his energy from the audience who he just loves singing to and then he gives it back to them and so the cycle keeps going. He is the G.O.A.T. a master vocalist, petformer and a wonderful, genuine human who is loved all around the world now. So happy hes getting stronger and singing around the house. Love you John 💗 and his great mate, Jimmy - another Aussie royal rocker ❤

      Hi Deb, hope you're all well? I haven't viewed this for sometime. (half a year?). Just love that people upload their own selections from the concert videos, they're like a Farnsey lucky dip. I suspect that if I had the Internet and a lap top I could put all these videos in one place/folder /file? But the mobile phone means I can have a Farnsey concert anywhere anytime. I've seen a pic of John with family and friends dining out - great to see that his recovery is continuing. The universe can sometimes be very cruel. Apr'24. UK. E❤

    I took my now deceased daughter to her first Farnsy concert as a 13yo in January 1986. She didn't really want to go but afterwards she became a huge fan of his. In memory or Julz 💎. 2 Strong 💪 Hearts 💖💖. Get well soon Farnsy. ! 🤞 You're the VOICE

      I bet your daughter had the best time ever, what a wonderful memory that you have of that time with her. I only discovered John just over a year ago, and I now watch the youtube videos daily (on my tiny mobile screen). Best wishes. Apr'24. UK. E ❤

      I lost my oldest son at 18 and his favourite John song was Two Strong Hearts. It still gets me when I hear it. Much love AussieDeb 🥰

    John was always one of the nicest stars around, fame never went to his head. I use to love watching him on the Ray Martin Show, he has a hilarious sense of humour and is so funny. The things he use to say about his mum in law were funny and she use to love it when he did this. There has never been a bad word said about this man. Love him.

    We definitely missed out here in England when John emigrated to Australia. He has one of the finest voices to ever bless this planet ❤. A bloody nice bloke who has never taken anything for granted.

    Can someone please tell me is there no song that Farnsey sings that isn’t better than the original - except for his own songs of course. He absolutely is the best singer around. Don’t get me wrong I like Barnsley but JF is the VOICE. Just watch where they both hold the microphone & Farnsey kills it. Love this man 💕

    • @firdaus.ozgirla8498
      @firdaus.ozgirla8498 3 роки тому +5

      Totally agree. Not just his brilliant voice but the arrangement of the songs are so much better. Man of many talents.

      Chisel and mossy leading when the war is over are pretty good but versions ive heard are so slow and tiresome… farnsy seems to have a beat that just drives the song a but more

      @melissadinning6614 3 роки тому +2

      Actually he stuffed that’s stand and the roadie brings on another one which is why he javelin throws the broken one 😆 then he proceeds to trash number 2 hahahahahahaha

    I think Van Halen strongly considered Jimmy Barnes for vocalist after DLR before Sammy took the slot. He's a legend.

    Holy crap, what a complete letdown and disappointment - I was SO looking forward to seeing/hearing John do that last incredible verse on "When The War Is Over". Talk about anti-climax. The rest is of course the usual heaven high John standard.

      @@kristenlee3075, does there have to be something wrong with someone who would prefer that Farnham sang the song by himself? Jimmy is nothing short of hideous here, and ruins the song completely.
