Born in 1953, yup 70 now. I have seen both these guys in concert. Saw Jimmy Barnes many times but my best memory was at the Mooloolaba Pub. Still sticks in my mind. I was running a beach and cocktail bar down the road at another establishment. Wr were closed and we got some guy came down and asked if we could open for a private party late. Guess who showed up. One of the best work nights of my life.

Weren’t they ? Lol we had some of the best pub bands . I remember seeing the angles live years ago at the central coast leagues club the whole club up stairs just partied all night .god I miss those days .always a live band sundays at the pub .we where so lucky .I reckon most people from those days would wish they could go back . Thank god we had them 👍😂💞
The 80s was a special decade no matter where you lived, this modern era just pales in comparison!!!! "Ohhh how I miss the good old day's"😭 Love Cold Chisel, Respect from the UK❤️🇬🇧👌
As a kiwi, these two are some of biggest rock stars ever. Theres voices are so powerful, dynamic and there range was insane for male vocalists. Best thing is i as get older these two get better because of my appreciation for how great they were and that era, the 80's. If only we could bring that era forward again.
@@loveiseternity must have had an off night the night you saw him. I saw him 2019 and he was still hitting high E regularly, with ease. Also some men lose range with age (usually depending on technique) I’ll point you to Sammy Hagar and Glenn Hughes. Both still monster singers. In the same age range as John
Those were the days. We didn't know what we really had as now there's so much trash and simply unenjoyable 'noise' out there. My heart breaks that John's singing days are over. Just a complete LEGEND. ❤💋🎤❤💋
Hey we will wait for John to get better. Dear John we are very patient fans of yours. If you don't come back at least we have had all these years of you and your music. We can wait. Wishing you a speedy recovery. We love you!!

Yeah, Shelly, I "think" I heard one time that when Roth left Van Halen it was either Barnesy or Sammy. And, I think Jimmy was tired of traveling around the world at that time and he was springboarding off of Chisel's success in Australia as a solo.

I really don't understand how these GREAT singers never got broader recognition outside of Australia/NZ. They have the chops of Freddie Mercury, Dio, etc, many times over.
Because they're not that great, but it seems to be Australian law that you can't say a bad thing about John "The Screech" Farnham, but the LRB record sales, or lack of them, told the true story. Lucky to get a couple of brilliant songs on Whispering Jack that would have been hits for anyone, but if you're honest, and you clearly won't be, he has had middle of the road success in his career otherwise. Capitol Records did NOT want Farnham as LRB's singer. Barnes is just a screamer, just happens that the music was written specifically for his voice.
Farnham was a phenomenal vocalist for the genre. I’ll grant you that his material was typically not that great but vocally he was amazing. I like Barnes pretty well but I will agree with you on your assessment of him.
@@billhutcherson758 I would agree with your assessment of Farnham's material. As far as Barnes goes, I don't know if I agree. There are a plenty of screamers on the planet with worse material and greater fame.

Dearest John I want to thank you for all the beautiful years of memories and that superb voice you have given 💜 to all of your Australians we love you John seen you live so blessed you were incredible, every single song has a meaning time and place to my life, I just finished watching your documentary inspirational ❤ to 🇦🇺 say the least, you are so brilliant 👏, I'm so pleased your making a full recovery from cancer God bless you and your beautiful family from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤ thanks for every note , every song , every live performance appreciate you.

5:18 “James Barnes folks, I gotta tell you I got a bigger kick outta that than you did” Great song written by Steve Prestwich RIP Steve Jimmy & Jack - gotta love it!
Loved him from a teenager. No one can beat John ever. I have been lucky to see him a few times and at the Mornington Racecourse I was blown away by how many young people loved him and new and sang along with every word of his performance. It was amazing. John Farnham I love you.❤️🥰
chalk and cheese difference in the voices. John Farnham, Ferrari crossed with a Rolls Royce , and barnes a stihl chainsaw in comparison. Strong chainsaw, but classes apart.
The 70's and 80's were GR8! Times These are just 2 of the 4 things I wish that I could bring back ! The other two are $1.00 schooners and last but not least! Teddy Bullpit!
This song is one for everyone. If You Love music then you're going to have to love this forever. One of my favourite songs of all time Thank you to cold chisel for your talent. God bless you all.
Cold Chisel is one of my favourite bands, I love their music and I’ve never been a fan of Farnham’s music but seeing them side by side there’s no denying Farnham’s voice. He can sing.
Hello, I've seen quite a handful of your likes and comments on my post and I just wanna go out of my way to appreciate those people whose comments and good wishes encourages me. ❤
JF, his performances are so awesome, power, ease of delivery, lyric fluid, passion and range. And he is happy and intereacts gracefully with stage or screen. Certainly an Aussie gem.
This song, this singer, this is Australia. Im so proud to be an aussie and grow up in the best country on the planet. We were we still so young last century as a country, we had amazing music, and a freedom not seen for a few decades now. This song brings me back to simpler times, people talked not texted, we met at parks and beaches, cruised the rivers and lived our best days.
1. Jukebox hero. Foreigner I grew up in Australia as a gen X, and in 1984 being fourteen, whilst staying over at my parents' friends place, she said I could listen to her vinyl collection. When I put on Foreigner's "4" album I was totally blown away! Not only by the whole album but when I first heard the drum beat, beating like my own heart had been since starting on this spontaneous adventure of discovery, and then hearing the haunting way Lou Gramm comes in at the beginning of jukebox hero I knew my life would never be the same again. 2. When the war is over. Cold Chisel. On that same fateful day I played Cold Chisel's ( a 70's to early 80's Australian rock band) "Last stand" album. When I heard Ian moss's soulful voice and then Jimmy Barnes's power coming in later on, I knew that this band was mine. Sadly, Cold Chisel had broken up 2 years before. Even though using all my pocket money from doing odd jobs around the neighbourhood and delivering junk mail I vowed to mysel I would buy every album they had produced prior. 3. Driving wheels. Jimmy Barnes After Cold Chisels split up, Jimmy Barnes produced a few great solo albums like "Working class man" and Bodyswerve, but in 1987 he came out with the hit "Driving wheels" on the freight train heart album. As soon ass I heard Mark Lizotte AkA (Johnny Diesel) hit those chords at the start the song, it sent shivers down my spine, and the pure power of Jimmy Barnes voice I was gone. Going to see the concert for this album sitting in my seat as the crowd's noise became a hush, through the ddarkness came the piercing chords of Driving wheels and I will never forget that feeling.

My best friend went to see jimmys new show last night 24/6/2022 I heard it was going to be soul and wonderful she went for her partner and hasn’t ever been a jimmy fan until last night . She said it was 2 hours of incredible music and talent she never knew he had . I love them both . So wonderful love this version the original al version and johns versions here after oxoxox
I dedicate this song to a beautiful man Australian James Douglas Packer,darling you have won the war,you have silenced your critics,yours fondly Emma Charles.Thankyou
Was the best concert with Barnsy at Karratha 1988 while I was working at Marble Bar even with the rain and the flooded river we made in the Monaro and back slept on riverbank listening to it again on radio
John & Jimmy, enough to kill someone by GOOSEBUMPS in the very very best way 🙏❤️❤️❤️ Now that's REAL music 🎶 Thank you for being the soundtrack to my childhood. I was here this night with my family, I was 10. My love and appreciation of singing began that night.
Oh my god, that is brilliant, my two favorite entertainers singing one of my favorite Cold Chisel songs together. It makes me feel so happy, I find a few tears welling in my eyes, thank goodness I was a teenager when they started sharing their wonderful talent within Australia. What can I say, they were gorgeous then, as they are now. 2019 xox
My heartfelt feeling, I will never be able to get those wonderful times back, both will be in my memory and heart forever. John is now 70, Jimmy ? and I turned 60 in June 2019. Whoever liked my previous comment, thank you.
WOW i live in the u k and have loved john for as long as i remember (i used to live in adelaide). jimmy barnes is fairly new to me and what an amazing voice he has. this in a magnificent video what an amazing combination of voices
Take a look at Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham (Barnsy & Farnsy) ft Diesel singing "When something is wrong with my baby" th-cam.com/video/hhNF96U_Bro/w-d-xo.html
Cold Chisel were supposed to become massive internationally in the early 80s but they got screwed over big time by their manager or record company executive or someone of that nature.
![Cold Chisel - When The War Is Over [LIVE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/x4Wwq9_zn_c/mqdefault.jpg)
Singers of today should watch these two and see what real talent looked like back in the 70s
The 70s? Twas the 80s ❤

That's when I finished high school. Amazing live music all through my 20's. Everywhere was boiling with incredible live bands.
The 80's was such an amazing time to be young in Australia. They were some of the best years of my life.
Mine too, i wish i could turn back the clock.

Yep💯🔥
I enjoy that John Farnham is as happy as any audience member that Jimmy Barnes is there. Such a class act.
Well said mate
He's singing this live, outside, and it's windy. Man, what a Consummate performer he was. We were so spoilt.
Thank you for your comment❤️
How are you doing?
It’s nice meeting you here.
The 80 s were pretty special.I miss those days living as a 63 year old in 2024.So many wonderful amazing memories.The music,just fantastic.
Adoro esse cantor , ele é bom demais ❤
I agree the 80s in Australia was amazing. The music we had still takes me straight back to being 15 in Melbourne.
I was just a Bub in the 80s but how the music influenced my life. It was always on and these two were on repeat. Absolute legends and magic 🪄
u mean 63 years young ? 👍💪
We were lucky to experience the 1980s we knew how to have fun now music is crap no one goes out to see live bands any more what a great life it was
We grew up in magical times ❤❤❤❤
I was in my 30s, from Canada, and blown away by John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes!
As a kiwi, these two are some of biggest rock stars ever. Theres voices are so powerful, dynamic and there range was insane for male vocalists. Best thing is i as get older these two get better because of my appreciation for how great they were and that era, the 80's. If only we could bring that era forward again.
I don't think ppl realise just how good John's voice and range was. He was incredibly good and doesn't sound too bad now for a 70 yr old.
I agree
Roger that.
The only thing on John that isn’t as good as it was back then is the mullet lol. He slays everyone vocally
@@brookchivell sadly not true. I saw him in 2000 and he ducked a lot of the high notes. Men lose their range with age.

Dame Nellie Farnham will be back. He is just recovering and needs to do yet another farewell tour
Those were the days. We didn't know what we really had as now there's so much trash and simply unenjoyable 'noise' out there.

Not the world, but great:)
I must say that I am a bit impartial to both of them 💕🇦🇺🌈🧚x
By far 🇦🇺
Australia needs to recognise John as a national treasure
Amen brother
We already do!
The best
I mean he was Australian of the year in 1988...
already do, never heard of whispering jack being called the national anthem before?

My best friend went to see jimmys new show last night 24/6/2022 I heard it was going to be soul and wonderful she went for her partner and hasn’t ever been a jimmy fan until last night . She said it was 2 hours of incredible music and talent she never knew he had . I love them both . So wonderful love this version the original al version and johns versions here after oxoxox
I lived in the '80's, played in bands, the best time to be alive.
I know farnsy is still around and still touring but there’s just no other performer like him these days, no one comes close!

John & Jimmy, enough to kill someone by GOOSEBUMPS in the very very best way 🙏❤️❤️❤️ Now that's REAL music 🎶 Thank you for being the soundtrack to my childhood. I was here this night with my family, I was 10. My love and appreciation of singing began that night.
Nothin can beat that amzingness...set in stone always

Amazing voice, amazing heart
Oh my god, that is brilliant, my two favorite entertainers singing one of my favorite Cold Chisel songs together.
It makes me feel so happy,
I find a few tears welling in my
eyes, thank goodness I was a
teenager when they started
sharing their wonderful talent
within Australia.
What can I say, they were gorgeous then, as they are now.

Totally agree Jennifer. We were lucky we had them at their best! 😉❤

Cold Chisel were supposed to become massive internationally in the early 80s but they got screwed over big time by their manager or record company executive or someone of that nature.
Yes 80s we're pretty special good times good memories ❤🎉 bring back 80s😅❤🎉
Doesn’t really get much better than that 👏🏻
