This is one reason why John is the greatest and most versatile male vocalist of all time, he can sing anything, any genre and make it sound great. I don’t know if you’ve done John’s version of “help” by the Beatles but that’s a great one, but you need to , as always when reacting to John, so it to a live performance where possible. He does an epic version of help in this concert and in the 1990 Melbourne concert does the Beatles version followed by his version, which was awesome.
Nothing better than watching Farnsey with a Symphony Orchestra. Between the fun the whole orchestra was having, ably led by Mr Dobbs Franks, along with The cream of Aussie musicians in the Farnham Band and Johns powerhouse vocals....the crowd experienced the concert of a lifetime that night.❤ It seems like you have been a Farnham fan for a while. Have you heard his duet with Jimmy Barnes, another aussie powerhouse, When Something is Wrong with my Baby. Or Duet with Olivia Newton John, Please dont ask Me.. or even a fun performance of Grenada with Anthony Warlow
John's concerts are epic. His energy level is off the charts and his concerts go for well over two hours with him giving it his all. You can see he just loves being out on stage singing to his fans, a born entertainer. He can sing anything. If you haven't heard it yet, check out the sound check John did with Led Zeppelin's Black dog. Fortunately someone recorded it. I've seen the movie, hopefully it will be released internationally.❤
We sing, for fun - ‘It’s a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll’ lol. How do you know so many small details not everyone knows ? - excellent. Another great and informative review from you again. I love it when orchestra conductor Dobbs Franks laughs, u don’t see that too often after an orchestra performs. Guess not many conduct AC/DC songs lol. And yes, I’ve liked and subscribed 😊 One bit of info, wondering if you know, the American back up singer Venetta Fields was an Ikette. For amazing variety and fun, of John’s voice. Granada with Anthony Warlow from live show, The Main Event is magic.
@@Dr_KAP oh yes, I’ve seen Johns concerts over there on TH-cam. The audience is absolutely gigantic. They love him too. But luckily we had him closer to home for many years of concerts
Thank you for your great reaction and appreciation of our phenomenal Aussie legend, John Farnham! ❤ You have studied him well. Please watch more of his 6 decades of awesome hit songs.
That is so Brilliant ! Remember that most of the people in the Orchestra grew up with John's music. As I would be, they are absolutely wrapped playing music fore John now !
This whole concert from start to finish. Is superb. They need to put it on the big screen as well. Sending love and good vibes to John and his family 💕💕
Another fun fact about "Farnesy" (as us Aussies call him) is that he was also offered the lead role in Queen following Freddie's passing but declined to stay in Australia with his family. I believe he is good friends with Brian May, who attended Australia's Bushfire Appeal concert to perform on stage with John.
That’s awesome being able to react to John sing with an Orchestra behind him. Should check out John Farnham with Australian legend Jimmy Barnes “when something is wrong with my baby”
That concert was 1989 at what is now the Rod Laver Tennis Arena where The Australian Open Tournament starts the World tennis grand slam every year. That is pure musical joy to me and I grin throughout every song, often finishing with acheing cheeks from all of my smiling. Help, the last encore was at about the 3 hour mark. John happily gives his heart & soul to his singing and music in general. He never appears more content than when leading his people in song.
Thank you, I love the energy of this and the unexpected synergy of orchestra and band. I also enjoyed your comments, thanks! John had a lot more success overseas than people realise, mainly because he only toured briefly or made individual appearances (as for the Prince and Princess of Wales), many for charities. John toured Germany briefly as one leg of his Whispering Jack tour, with one outdoor concert there having an audience of 150,000 people. "You're The Voice" and its album, "Whispering Jack" reached No. 1 in Sweden, Germany and Canada, and top three in Denmark and Switzerland. John was asked to replace Freddy Mercury with Queen, he recorded We Will Rock You with them, which they loved, but again John didn't want the regular overseas travel. "Don't You Know It's Magic" won an award for 'Most Outstanding Performance' at the 1972 World Popular Song Festival in Tokyo. John has always been generous and so many of his performances have been freely given to raise money for charities, especially for people affected by fires, flood and drought in Australia.
That was a great reaction! I saw “John Farnham: Finding The Voice” last week and enjoyed it. It filled in some gaps that hadn’t been well publicised before. I hadn’t connected the timing before that “You’re The Voice” was so popular in Germany that it had a big part in galvanising the people to take action in unifying West and East Germany in 1989. I’m not surprised! I think you’ll enjoy the movie.
Love your reactions. This master singer does so in over 20 genres. John was known in other countries for 'You're The Voice'. For his other singing polarity, please check out, ' (Lifted Up By) Angels' with Lisa Edwards, his backing singer, ( and with bongo drum) and 'Burn For You'. Always see and hear John live in concert as that is usually the best!
This song was at the end of a full on 2 hr concert. The energy was amazing. My body shook and my ears ringed for days. He is the ultimate performer who can sing so many genres
I love AC/DC but I have to say this is my favorite version of this epic song. John has seemingly endless vocal range and can sing anything, any genre. The greatest male vocalist of all time. And everyone on that stage is having an absolute ball, including the orchestral conductor.
John was still belting this song out in 2019 at 70 years old, and still sounded bloody amazing. There are a few songs in this set. Long way is the last song. th-cam.com/video/ilAyoo2wOT4/w-d-xo.html
John Farnham is the G.O.A.T !!
What a superb collaboration. Just imagine those serious musicians reminiscing with their grandchildren about their Rock & Roll days 😆
I love that they did this with a SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA and it was WILD!

Dobbs Franks!
@@jeffwilson7100 haha I just realised I did that ...when I read it again. I have corrected it. Thankyou
Have to add - duet with Celine Dion of You're the Voice. Epic. 15.9.33. E❤
He can sing anything and do it better than anyone else. One of God's creations!!!
You're the Voice and the Beatles cover of Help, both with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra are epic too. Cheers 🎉
THE VERY FACT THAT THE CONDUCTOR WAS 'DIGGING IT' SAID IT ALL. THANKS FOR YOUR REACTION

Hi lovely ! I think this fine gentleman is German and John was pretty big over there. They have good taste in music!! ❤❤

Mr John Farhnam is our Living Legend! My parents went to this concert!
Aussies are multi generation fans of Farnsey. 4 generations of us in my family all love him
@@carolynh8866 so true, I love him so much!
Try John Farnham with Anthony Warlow performing "Grenada "
That is so Brilliant ! Remember that most of the people in the Orchestra grew up with John's music.
As I would be, they are absolutely wrapped playing music fore John now !
The orchestra was having just as much fun as John and the band and backup singers.
Definitely a high energy way to end the night!
This whole concert from start to finish. Is superb.
They need to put it on the big screen as well.

Love your channel :) Also love that you do research into the singers/bands
A great performance on many levels, but i love how much the orchestra seemed to have fun with it.
This was joyous thank you ❤

The place was literally moving. And then the encores came including “ Help “
Nope. This was the last. It Help, Sadie then this.
Help was the last song of the encore 'before' this one.

What else is there to say...😂❤
Thanks for the intelligent reaction. This is an amazing performance. Such a huge sound. The ACDC song is just a sketch.
Love John farnham. React to "Burn for you " he wrote that song for he's wife. "When Something wrong with my baby" John farnham and Jimmy Barnes
Fantastic thankyou

The comedian, John Farnham
Could you imagine John Farnham with a mic hooked to his head?
1989
👍
1980s rock but how cool.
