My NEW SONG: bit.ly/whylinger Nate's new song: open.spotify.com/track/48FbLjelyIWEwC3TnTO1lg?si=cbaa419002f4442a Harem pants: www.harempants.com/discount/Andrea *10% discount already applied* Welcome Nate to the channel!! This is a different format where I introduce someone else to John Farnham, but it was really fun to spread the influence of John Farnham to others :)
You must have worked on a different night (or the memory is a little foggy considering it was 35 years ago) as it wasn't the final encore in this performance. There was another encore after Help where he sang Sadie and It's a Long Way to the Top as the final encore.
John can sing anything and has. From ballads to rock, blues, soul, metal, opera, jazz, etc. He is a comedian and all-round nice guy who supported and respected his musicians and backup singers, and they loved him, as did Australia. Unfortunately, we may never hear him sing again as he had mouth cancer and had part of his jaw removed. He is now cancer free though. He was still performing at 70 and his voice hardly diminished over 5 decades of singing. He has the unique distinction of having a number one hit in 5 consecutive decades. Always listen to John live if you can. He always gives 110% in live performances.
Not only a superb singer but also the ultimate showman. John and I are the same age .... I attended his later concerts and always felt part of a party with him being another attendee .... he makes you feel included and a part of the show. A REAL skill , on top the THE VOICE !
Enjoyed your analysis on this performance. One of 3 encores that night...nearly a 3 hour show.....more from this concert will have all us Aussies signing in to watch...lol
So good to see new fans introducing Farnsey to their friends. That was fun to watch. IMO, the three iconic songs from the encores of this concert showcase everything that is so awesome about "our John": this one, You're the Voice, and especially Long Way to the Top. Each is very different, and yet each has John's special imprint. The controlled power of his voice, the genuine love between singer and audience, and his rare talent of being able to make any genre his own make him a very special artist.
I saw him live on his last tour.. very high quality sound and loud! ie no margin for error. I think good music needs high energy, audience engagement and good intention. This can be hard to do via electronic/computer music. but still possible
Sincere and insightful. Some good kids coming through. As an Aussie a little younger than John Farnham, he was like background music growing up, and his talent was largely unappreciated by many until recently.
John was also known as 'Whispering Jack', a nickname that he picked up from studio technicians because he would tend to blow out the microphones in the studio unless he reduced his voice to almost a whisper or they literally draped cloth over the microphone to muffle them...
In Australia if one wanted to refer to John Farnham in a conversation he would just be "Farnsy", and even after only hearing him sing once who wouldn't be a fan of John Farnham. So fans of Farnsy do not need a special name, they are just fans of a true Aussie GOAT.
I grew up in the 80 and music was ne thing that drive us with feeling and emotion and vibes. We had no mobiles but always look forward to live performances which were every where in pubs, clubs and large venues.
John Farnham aka 'The Voice'.... known and acknowledged as that by artists like Celine Dion, Tom Jones etc...... to have an audience of thousands, perfectly singing your song... Farnsey is a legend who will be known for ever more.... told the money hungry, international managers to fuck off.... he never sold his soul for money or fame....
Having experienced the music from the sixties till now, the feeling we experienced from live music is missing in today's music. There is no soul. You need to feel it in your gut to really enjoy music. I lived through a fantastic era. Aussie music was something special. Largely missed by the world. I was at this concert. It has stayed with me, but it was not unique. I have seen many memorable concerts.
If you love the sound of live instruments and a great stage performance the definitely check out the song from this concert - it’s a long way to the top (AC/DC cover) You will have a smile from ear to ear the whole time 😊
Just to clarify, he did use that song as a sound check on occasion. However on the occasion where it was recorded Doug Brady brought along his new mobile recording studio and brand new state of the art equipment and the song was recorded on set, edited on set by Doug Brady and Ross Fraser and copyrighted to Sony records. Doug Brady is one of Australia’s best sound engineers and producers. The recording was planned and that’s why it is clearly of the highest calibre.
Great reaction. If you liked “help” check out Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham’s song “when something is wrong with my baby” live on hey hey it’s Saturday. Full of soul.
Good Reaction. John's famous for always playing with his mike stand. Aussie music industry can be a bit of a rabbit hole for those who did not grow up in Australia. So many artists and songs that you would never had heard. As for live music versus computer generated, there's an imperfection to live that makes a difference. It's like seeing a perfect face from computer generation, it doesn't seem as real as an imperfect one. This is also why some digital generators allow you to randomly 'insert' mistakes to try and help. IMHO it doesn't.
John was always a surprise with the microphone. In Playing To Win he's twirling and throwing around the stand like it's nothing. At the 2000 Sydney Olympics opening ceremony he's tossing the mic from one hand to the other - live in front of 3.7 billion people.
This was about 2 hours in to this 2 1/2 hour concert just before a false encore. Probably one of the most powerful male voices ever. John Lennon said that Help was meant to be a slow ballad and it really gives the lyrics the weight that they deserve.
John Farnham is super iconic in Australia. He started in the 60s. If I think of Aussie pop singers, John is the first person I think of. Australia was more known for rock than pop back in the day. John would probably be called pop rock in todays musical landscape.
John Lennon reportedly said this is the way he intended the song to be sung.... The song was released in Australia before John passed, hence why the audience sings along... I know you have reviewed a few of John's songs, but please play Nate Your the Voice from the same concert.
Farnsey Fans, or The Farnsey Army, Thank you Andrea for introducing Nate to our John, I hope you both continue down the rabbit hole, so many great songs spanning a career of over 6 decades. and yes, real instruments and live performances for me, though when John was making 'Whispering Jack' money was tight and they used a 'fairlight' for the various instruments and even used the slam of a car door for a drum sound, Merry Christmas.
Hi Guys. Some other great songs from the Legendary John Farnham are. YOU'RE THE VOICE. And WHEN THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY BABY, with Jimmy Barns. Another great Australian Legendary singer. Very much worth a listen to.
ua-cam.com/video/F2Yi6TVi-sU/v-deo.htmlsi=PGH4zTRvFvua6ZMQ check this out. This was John doing a warm up/mike check. Most other singers would consider it a performance of a lifetime. John was just like “yeah, good warm up guys”. He never performed this live (once maybe). We were just lucky the sound recordist decided to hit the record button during this one.
My suggestion next would be a ACDC cover from the same concert It's a Long Way to the Top if You Want to Rock and Roll, it will showcase a different style from him, polar opposite to Help
Hey, another convert 😁 John Farnham is the best singer and performer most of the world had never heard of until UA-camrs began reacting to him. He's been a household name here in Australia since 1967. He can sing anything: hard rock, blues, pop, jazz, musical numbers ... you name it. He's performed with some of the biggest ever international acts, like Tom Jones, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and Olivia Newton-John. Choose any of his live clips to react to, and you won't go wrong 😊
You two are babies still. So your friend is only 24 - so born in 2000 when the Sydney Olympics were on. That was when John Farnham and his good friend Olivia Newton John sang DARE TO DREAM at the opening ceremony. Link in other comment. Poor John, he lost his good friend ONJ to cancer and he himself had to have major jaw surgery due to cancer at around that same time. He is 74 now. He is known down here as THE VOICE.
If you want some more soul from John, I would recommend you react to Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham singing their version of a 1966 Sam and Dave song "When Something is Wrong With My Baby; make sure it is a live performance, I would suggest their performance from the 1991 Australian Recording Industry Association(ARIA) Awards.
Have a look at these songs playing to win, the voice , long way to the top if you want to rock n roll same concert with the Melbourne symphony orchestra more great songs
A CUT AND PASTE ON TWO AUSSIE STARS Jimmy Barnes used to be the King of Rock. John Farnham used to be the King of Pop. John's first hit song was Sadie the Cleaning Lady at the age of 18 in 1967 and here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/eZeRmpvCjEw/v-deo.html Olivia Newton John's favourite singer was John and they worked together from time to time. Here they are together at the opening Olympics ceremony in Sydney in 2000 singing DARE TO DREAM: ua-cam.com/video/NwIfmS-Pml0/v-deo.html They also did a 2.5 hr show together with another great talent (Anthony Warlow who was our Phantom from the show Phantom of the Opera) - the show was called THE MAIN EVENT: ua-cam.com/video/qd-USQDe9dg/v-deo.html As for Jimmy, yes he did WORKING CLASS MAN: ua-cam.com/video/t3TPmPOrDEk/v-deo.html and is also known for singing with Tina Turner SIMPLY THE BEST: ua-cam.com/video/crAgnI9BF6M/v-deo.html If you get the chance watch John singing his rendition of the Beatles classic HELP. John Lennon loved it and said the Beatles wanted to do it slow like that and the manager wouldn’t allow it: ua-cam.com/video/dv54giOSRKs/v-deo.html and YOU'RE THE VOICE: ua-cam.com/video/6m2m_9Uijso/v-deo.html OR THE WHOLE CLASSIC JACK LIVE CONCERT WITH THE MELBOURNE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA PLAYLIST: ua-cam.com/video/UWnm_qwa2Xg/v-deo.html It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll: ua-cam.com/video/73X_z_zW4Sg/v-deo.html Jimmy & John duet WHEN SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY BABY: (VERSION 1): ua-cam.com/video/ihsfx1LuoKc/v-deo.html (VERSION 2): ua-cam.com/video/AU_bCchDWF4/v-deo.html As for a bit about them. Both men come from Britain and came over to Australia when young. Like Olivia, John ended up in Melbourne and Jimmy ended up in Adelaide. John was born a year after Liv in 1949 and they kind of started off together at the same studios in Melbourne. She followed his career from afar. About the time of her passing, he had to have major jaw surgery for oral cancer. He has survived it and apparently can sing around the house. He won't come out of retirement though because he is 75 now. Jimmy's son is a well known singer and breakfast TV host down here too. Jimmy was the lead singer for the band COLD CHISEL and John played lead for a little while in THE LITTLE RIVER BAND. There is a nice biopic on John that recently was seen in the cinemas and now is on DVD - here is the trailer and the 1st voice you hear is ONJ: ua-cam.com/video/LocCfc5PKrE/v-deo.html Here are some links with Celine Dion and John: YOU’RE THE VOICE duet in Melbourne, Victoria in 1998. ua-cam.com/video/6bu-Ff9Ka6w/v-deo.html Them together sharing a kiss: ua-cam.com/video/seqvE9k-7tg/v-deo.html Celine on Oz breakfast TV paying tribute to John: ua-cam.com/video/QPa7ZE-3Ys4/v-deo.html Celine and John excerpt from TV show THE SUNDAY PROJECT: ua-cam.com/video/dX12Sa2Et8Y/v-deo.html Different version of YOU’RE THE VOICE Melbourne concert (less time): ua-cam.com/video/UxWdqk1Suac/v-deo.html Celine at the Colosseum in Las Vegas singing YOU’RE THE VOICE in Jan 2019. ua-cam.com/video/EbzcpgMRmY4/v-deo.html This is a Jimmy Barnes/the late Michael Hutchence (INXS) singing together GOOD TIMES: ua-cam.com/video/J9wX_87J-54/v-deo.html Another reaction channel (www.youtube.com/@TeacherPaulReacts/videos) has heaps of video reactions on the HISTORY of John Farnham - some are even in parts 1-12? Not sure how many parts. Just go through them.
If you want to see some of the versatility in Johns voice listen to this recording (video not the best but audio is good) when he fronted Little River Band, singing Reminiscing. ua-cam.com/video/iYgh_Irk46M/v-deo.html ... or, if you really want to blow your mind, this one of him in 1972 live on stage. Here he is at 23, he had been performing for eight years and he had the audience in the palm of his hand the whole time. And he loved it. By the time he'd finished singing the Beatles "Yesterday", he could have done with them what he pleased. ua-cam.com/video/B9Bn8bvpa34/v-deo.html
check out guy sebastian he is also Australian and he won our first Australian Idol now he is one of Australia's best singer/male artist u need to check him out 👌🙏
Now a days with AI and auto tune people can change their voices the old days no auto tune it was just singing with great voices he has many many more song over 60 years
Digital music is too precise, slightly off time, and different ways to attack strings and drums etc gives an organic feel to it. It's never exactly the same.
At first merry Christmas. In general i would almost prefer real instruments. Computer or even Synthesizer can probably add good content to it. So I like collaboration like this, where classic musicians play with rock or pop or any other kind of musicians from other musicstyles. Instruments add more to a song,more depth, more sound. Judt my opinion😉
I went to a Cold Chisel concert (50th year anniversary) with my millennial daughter :) They were well drilled and polished (after all this time) and even she was impressed. You may like to check our a blues number with John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes. Impressive :):) ua-cam.com/video/dvPw8EVY3rc/v-deo.htmlsi=B2zcpYWHGBgLEXMS
Make sure you react to Playing To Win by John and also check out Tina Arena, another fantastic Australian singer. ua-cam.com/video/aaeKsidYfVk/v-deo.html
Perhaps we are moving BACK to real instruments? Real instruments and live performances will ALWAYS be the best …. Have you even noticed the size of the audience?
Farnham has a great voice but Thanks to John Lennon and The Beatles for the original . Lennon did want the song slower so he would have loved this one ..The original is a great song . computers take away the human feeling in the music or song. .
Andrea, what's up? 0:01 Take care of yourself... Love yourself. DrBoz or DrAnthonyChaffee can tell you how. It's fairly simple... You look drugged and like that girl from the Carpenters 🥺

Welcome Nate to the channel!! This is a different format where I introduce someone else to John Farnham, but it was really fun to spread the influence of John Farnham to others :)
Is Nate going to do another John Farnham (Farnsey) reaction with you? Maybe introduce him to Jimmy Barnes (Barnsey) something wrong with my baby? 😂😂
I worked at that concert late 1989, and this number was John's final encore after singing for 2 hours...he would've been so tired. ❤
You must have worked on a different night (or the memory is a little foggy considering it was 35 years ago) as it wasn't the final encore in this performance. There was another encore after Help where he sang Sadie and It's a Long Way to the Top as the final encore.
@@devilsadvocate2548 Yes. I heard he mixed up the encore songs each night. I suppose the DVD is the "official" playlist for most people.
John can sing anything and has. From ballads to rock, blues, soul, metal, opera, jazz, etc. He is a comedian and all-round nice guy who supported and respected his musicians and backup singers, and they loved him, as did Australia. Unfortunately, we may never hear him sing again as he had mouth cancer and had part of his jaw removed. He is now cancer free though.

Always listen to John live if you can. He always gives 110% in live performances.
LOL we are considered Farnsey Fans. Nate bring a cut lunch and a drink John has decades of his music on UA-cam to discover.
Not only a superb singer but also the ultimate showman. John and I are the same age .... I attended his later concerts and always felt part of a party with him being another attendee ....
he makes you feel included and a part of the show. A REAL skill , on top the THE VOICE !
Enjoyed your analysis on this performance. One of 3 encores that night...nearly a 3 hour show.....more from this concert will have all us Aussies signing in to watch...lol
It was closer to 2 hours singing than 3 hours.
Thanks for sharing Johnny with other people, hes one of Australias most loved performers.
Our John THE G.O.A.T. He can sing any genre. Thanks Andrea for introducing John to Nate - Farnsey Family ❤️ ❤️
So good to see new fans introducing Farnsey to their friends. That was fun to watch. IMO, the three iconic songs from the encores of this concert showcase everything that is so awesome about "our John": this one, You're the Voice, and especially Long Way to the Top.

The controlled power of his voice, the genuine love between singer and audience, and his rare talent of being able to make any genre his own make him a very special artist.
Look how thick and powerful his neck is. He looks like a Rugby forward. Imagine the vocal chords in there.
I saw him live on his last tour.. very high quality sound and loud! ie no margin for error. I think good music needs high energy, audience engagement and good intention. This can be hard to do via electronic/computer music. but still possible
Probably the best cover of the original Beatles song.
Sincere and insightful. Some good kids coming through. As an Aussie a little younger than John Farnham, he was like background music growing up, and his talent was largely unappreciated by many until recently.
At some points Farnsy gets the mic a foot away from his mouth and it is still powerful and level 😮
Two words- John Farnham ❤
John was also known as 'Whispering Jack', a nickname that he picked up from studio technicians because he would tend to blow out the microphones in the studio unless he reduced his voice to almost a whisper or they literally draped cloth over the microphone to muffle them...
In Australia if one wanted to refer to John Farnham in a conversation he would just be "Farnsy", and even after only hearing him sing once who wouldn't be a fan of John Farnham. So fans of Farnsy do not need a special name, they are just fans of a true Aussie GOAT.
I grew up in the 80 and music was ne thing that drive us with feeling and emotion and vibes. We had no mobiles but always look forward to live performances which were every where in pubs, clubs and large venues.
Live instrumental all the way. There's nothing like seeing a live band, the skill & the emotions on display & even better with an orchestra.
Note how John hits big a note immediately. Doesn't have to work up to it, just BANG, he's there.
Every song that’s ever made should be made by a musical instrument
The noise that instrument makes is up to you
John Farnham aka 'The Voice'.... known and acknowledged as that by artists like Celine Dion, Tom Jones etc...... to have an audience of thousands, perfectly singing your song... Farnsey is a legend who will be known for ever more.... told the money hungry, international managers to fuck off.... he never sold his soul for money or fame....
Having experienced the music from the sixties till now, the feeling we experienced from live music is missing in today's music. There is no soul. You need to feel it in your gut to really enjoy music. I lived through a fantastic era. Aussie music was something special. Largely missed by the world. I was at this concert. It has stayed with me, but it was not unique. I have seen many memorable concerts.
If you love the sound of live instruments and a great stage performance the definitely check out the song from this concert - it’s a long way to the top (AC/DC cover) You will have a smile from ear to ear the whole time 😊
Check out John's version of "Black Dog" which is only audio as a Sound Tech recorded his version which he only used as a warmup pre-concert.
Just to clarify, he did use that song as a sound check on occasion. However on the occasion where it was recorded Doug Brady brought along his new mobile recording studio and brand new state of the art equipment and the song was recorded on set, edited on set by Doug Brady and Ross Fraser and copyrighted to Sony records. Doug Brady is one of Australia’s best sound engineers and producers. The recording was planned and that’s why it is clearly of the highest calibre.
The Sax player is part of John's Band, all the orchestra were wearing white jackets. John equals 'The GOAT'
Great reaction. If you liked “help” check out Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham’s song “when something is wrong with my baby” live on hey hey it’s Saturday. Full of soul.
Good Reaction. John's famous for always playing with his mike stand. Aussie music industry can be a bit of a rabbit hole for those who did not grow up in Australia. So many artists and songs that you would never had heard.
As for live music versus computer generated, there's an imperfection to live that makes a difference. It's like seeing a perfect face from computer generation, it doesn't seem as real as an imperfect one. This is also why some digital generators allow you to randomly 'insert' mistakes to try and help. IMHO it doesn't.
John was always a surprise with the microphone.
In Playing To Win he's twirling and throwing around the stand like it's nothing.
At the 2000 Sydney Olympics opening ceremony he's tossing the mic from one hand to the other - live in front of 3.7 billion people.
This was about 2 hours in to this 2 1/2 hour concert just before a false encore.
Probably one of the most powerful male voices ever.
John Lennon said that Help was meant to be a slow ballad and it really gives the lyrics the weight that they deserve.
This was the first encore song of three. All three are considered encore, no false encores 👍
If you like the Mike stand antics you have to watch Your The Voice from the same concert.
The other significant song of his was from this same concert was “You’re the Voice”. It has bagpipes!
His voice has so many textures and colours
Yay!!! More 🎉❤❤❤
Farnsey could sing the phone book and he would still go platinum 👏👏👏
John Farnham is super iconic in Australia. He started in the 60s. If I think of Aussie pop singers, John is the first person I think of. Australia was more known for rock than pop back in the day. John would probably be called pop rock in todays musical landscape.
Farnhamians... I like it!😃
John Lennon reportedly said this is the way he intended the song to be sung.... The song was released in Australia before John passed, hence why the audience sings along... I know you have reviewed a few of John's songs, but please play Nate Your the Voice from the same concert.
.. & make sure Nate doesn't miss the mic stand antics.
Farnsey Fans, or The Farnsey Army, Thank you Andrea for introducing Nate to our John, I hope you both continue down the rabbit hole, so many great songs spanning a career of over 6 decades. and yes, real instruments and live performances for me, though when John was making 'Whispering Jack' money was tight and they used a 'fairlight' for the various instruments and even used the slam of a car door for a drum sound, Merry Christmas.
Yesssssssssssssssßssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just totally awesome💖💖💖
I am from Sydney and have met John over the years, first in 1978.
Wonderful totally real human x
This is John's rock ballad version of The Beatles classic song.
Hi Guys.
Some other great songs from the Legendary John Farnham are. YOU'RE THE VOICE.
And WHEN THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY BABY, with Jimmy Barns. Another great Australian Legendary singer.
Very much worth a listen to.
ua-cam.com/video/F2Yi6TVi-sU/v-deo.htmlsi=PGH4zTRvFvua6ZMQ check this out. This was John doing a warm up/mike check. Most other singers would consider it a performance of a lifetime. John was just like “yeah, good warm up guys”. He never performed this live (once maybe). We were just lucky the sound recordist decided to hit the record button during this one.
It was his sound check on that night.
You can officially call yourself part of the Farnsey Army now.
You really need to watch John Sing "When the war is over" (live whispering Jack) - this song is an APEX song that will blow your mind.
Great job Andrea. Hi Nate. You're going to have a new play list of songs soon. How about, "The Farnsey".
Youll love john farnham. Wait to you hear his whole catalogue.
Also
Guy sebastion
Jimmy barnes
Trust me you wont look back
My suggestion next would be a ACDC cover from the same concert It's a Long Way to the Top if You Want to Rock and Roll, it will showcase a different style from him, polar opposite to Help
Thanks Guys . Great reaction 😊
Check out John singing Reminiscing 1983 with LRB, Georgia 1980 (you wanna hear his pitches!)
Hey, another convert 😁 John Farnham is the best singer and performer most of the world had never heard of until UA-camrs began reacting to him. He's been a household name here in Australia since 1967. He can sing anything: hard rock, blues, pop, jazz, musical numbers ... you name it. He's performed with some of the biggest ever international acts, like Tom Jones, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and Olivia Newton-John. Choose any of his live clips to react to, and you won't go wrong 😊
Guys, you wanna see real instruments. Try 'Lazy' by Deep Purple. Because of cost, they recorded this in one, single take.
Great choice! A stand-out track on an all-around incredible album.
The Jimmy Barnes / Joe Bonamassa cover is also stellar.
Fans are the farnsey army.
You two are babies still. So your friend is only 24 - so born in 2000 when the Sydney Olympics were on. That was when John Farnham and his good friend Olivia Newton John sang DARE TO DREAM at the opening ceremony. Link in other comment. Poor John, he lost his good friend ONJ to cancer and he himself had to have major jaw surgery due to cancer at around that same time. He is 74 now. He is known down here as THE VOICE.
John usually features one of his musicians, or back up singers.
If you want some more soul from John, I would recommend you react to Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham singing their version of a 1966 Sam and Dave song "When Something is Wrong With My Baby; make sure it is a live performance, I would suggest their performance from the 1991 Australian Recording Industry Association(ARIA) Awards.
That or the one from Hey Hey.
We call him Farnsey, see him with Barnsey, jimmy Barnes doing when something is wrong with my Baby.
Have a look at these songs playing to win, the voice , long way to the top if you want to rock n roll same concert with the Melbourne symphony orchestra more great songs
wait until you figure out the song was written by the Beatles
If you want a great one to watch John Farnham and jimmy barns when something wrong with my baby if you like the blues

Another reaction channel (www.youtube.com/@TeacherPaulReacts/videos) has heaps of video reactions on the HISTORY of John Farnham - some are even in parts 1-12? Not sure how many parts. Just go through them.
Loved that. Nate is a cool guy. Maybe you can do a video each week together?
His first hit in the 60s was Sadie. Do a reaction.
It would be interesting to see Nate's reaction to Kasey Chambers version of Eminem's Lose Yourself.
OH YES!!!!!
there was recently tv special on celebrating the career of John Farnham here is a link to part one ua-cam.com/video/m-Cqqk-B5bM/v-deo.html
If you want to see some of the versatility in Johns voice listen to this recording (video not the best but audio is good) when he fronted Little River Band, singing Reminiscing.

... or, if you really want to blow your mind, this one of him in 1972 live on stage. Here he is at 23, he had been performing for eight years and he had the audience in the palm of his hand the whole time. And he loved it. By the time he'd finished singing the Beatles "Yesterday", he could have done with them what he pleased.

To appreciate his version you should watch the original Beatles version
check out guy sebastian he is also Australian and he won our first Australian Idol now he is one of Australia's best singer/male artist u need to check him out 👌🙏
Now a days with AI and auto tune people can change their voices the old days no auto tune it was just singing with great voices he has many many more song over 60 years
if you like the audience reaction to this song i would recommend a listen to Robbie Williams singing 'Angel' live at Knebworth
You should show him Ren's Fred Again mashup. I'm sure he'd appreciate it... 😊
Digital music is too precise, slightly off time, and different ways to attack strings and drums etc gives an organic feel to it. It's never exactly the same.
At first merry Christmas. In general i would almost prefer real instruments. Computer or even Synthesizer can probably add good content to it. So I like collaboration like this, where classic musicians play with rock or pop or any other kind of musicians from other musicstyles. Instruments add more to a song,more depth, more sound. Judt my opinion😉
👍 Real singers need real instruments.
I went to a Cold Chisel concert (50th year anniversary) with my millennial daughter :) They were well drilled and polished (after all this time) and even she was impressed. You may like to check our a blues number with John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes. Impressive :):) ua-cam.com/video/dvPw8EVY3rc/v-deo.htmlsi=B2zcpYWHGBgLEXMS
You’d be hard pressed to find a better male vocalist ever
I myself just recently discovered his version of Reminiscing ua-cam.com/video/NspIOkh9EVc/v-deo.htmlsi=H9ZmClJ5hDkr6po7 Totally blown away!!
Make sure you react to Playing To Win by John and also check out Tina Arena, another fantastic Australian singer.

Perhaps we are moving BACK to real instruments? Real instruments and live performances will ALWAYS be the best …. Have you even noticed the size of the audience?
you should stop it more; its great for the flow.
If you want a modern Australian voice sample Matt Corby. Live Better Than That
Maybe review the song and let us see what you have to say before all the shameless self promotion?
Farnham has a great voice but Thanks to John Lennon and The Beatles for the original . Lennon did want the song slower so he would have loved this one ..The original is a great song . computers take away the human feeling in the music or song. .
Omg stop interrupting the performance!
No offense but this is so more intertaining than rap.
Too many stops & starts, I understand you can’t play the entierity without stopping BUT, too much!
Andrea, what's up? 0:01
Take care of yourself...
Love yourself.
DrBoz or DrAnthonyChaffee can tell you how. It's fairly simple...
You look drugged and like that girl from the Carpenters 🥺
Paused mid instrumental
I’m out
And yes copyright all that …. Replayed it blah blah ….. yep
New song is horrible
