      They could put it on the big screen. I would go like a shot.
      As with all his concerts. They are brilliant but this one was perfection from start to finish. 😊
      Love and good vibes to John and his family 💕💕

      Yes!!! I'm so sad I never got to see him live And especially this bloody epic performance... I was probably a bit too young but still.
      I think the chain reaction tour was pretty incredible too. In fact, I can't believe I'm saying this but his vocal for playing to win was actually grittier in that concert. He toned it down for this one, maybe because it was with the MSO.

      You were there?! I'm so jealous :D I watch all the reaction videos from this concert and I often wonder where all the people from the audience who were featured are now: the blond lady from Help who pretends to sing into a microphone with her friends, the other woman with a classic 80s camera and the girl who ran on stage. It looks like it was one amazing night to remember...

      It sure was Doris - I was there also, and am actually in this video hahahaha. What a night it was, in saying that though, I can't separate this concert from The Main Event with Olive NJ and Anthony Warlow. Both were electrifying nights that I'll never forget as long as I've lived. I've seen John 17 times live, and NEVER tire of hearing his voice, or watching these clips. How lucky and privileged we were to witness such an amazing talent live. One of the best nights of my life

      I did manage to see him back in 1987 in our small country town of Mackay, QLD. He was an extraordinary performer. Wasn't with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra but the band on tour he had were amazing.✨

    Hope you are feeling better. All of John's shows are superb, but there is something about the addition of the orchestra, combined with John's showmanship and the interaction between everyone on stage that takes this one to that (in your words) "best concert of all time" level. It was visually spectacular, musically perfect, and one enormous bundle of fun to boot. Get well Farnsey! 💕

    Fifty years plus of performing and you'd be pushed to find a bum note or John and his band giving less than 100%. Just an outstanding performer, an Aussie legend and a beautiful person. Speedy recovery John. Thank you for providing the soundtrack of our lives.💖

  • @chop845

    I remember one concert where security were stopping people going up front and telling them to sit down. John noticed this and said, “they’re not gonna hurt me guys, let them come up and dance. ” he knows his ordinance and loves them being up close.

    • @carolynh8866

    Look for the before the concert video, he said this could be the best concert of my life. He rehearses hard all the time, so concerts are easy in comparison, this was 2 hours and 2 encores. Well he used to work hard at his craft, we all hope he can again because he loves singing so much. He also has horses which he loves to work with , thatkeeps him fit. One commenter said he was jumping up and down, on stage, during this concert and still singing in tune, i don't remember which song now. That is a feat of endurance and accuracy though.

    Every song from this concert is a maser piece and deserves a standing ovation.
    Another must see, is When The War Is Over from the concert called The Last Time: Melbourne 2003. John is older in this video, but his vocals are even more extraordinary.
    This was his take on an old Cold Chisel song, just breath taking......

    He has always been a phenomenal performer…even the last concert I was privileged to attend of his at the Toowoomba Festival in Sept. 2019 !! It was so special as I was with my 16 year old daughter and 84 yr old mother!

    Hey there - you are newish to your channel and I am watching - just wanted to let you know that the sound is a little low for this clip. x When I was younger (a lot) I used to go to the Muso's Club. A bit of who you know sort of entry. It had a small stage and a bar and tables to just sit and drink and watch amazing talent. And John had his band back then and was just a phenomenal as always. His voice just a powerhouse. And just a nice guy who was kind and funny and respectful of all. I saw some amazing bands around that time. Thanks for offering another kind word for his recovery. I hope he will be able to sing again but the work on his jaw will have some challenges. He is such a positive man if anyone can do it - it is him x

    Great reaction. Glad you enjoyed it so much. John’s an absolute legend.
    If you want to mix it up a bit, he played Jesus in the ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ musical (all Australian cast). He was friggin amazing. His rendition of ‘Gethsemane’ is really moving. John legend played the role a couple years back. Couldn’t hold a candle to farnhams version.

    Certainly got your money's worth going to that concert it was spectacular but then...... actually ANY John Farnham Concert were amazing. In fact the thing about Farnsey was that he would always make tickets affordable so that anyone could come.
    I hope over time you will get to see every performance from this concert. It's all on line. But maybe it's time to check out something from another concert so you can see that even without the Orchestra and just him and his band are equally amazing just on their own.
