He has probably sung this song hundreds or thousands of times over these many years and I absolutely love the Unbelievable Passion he brings when he sings it....every time!! Great Song sung by a Great Singer....and I love those Pipes!!!!
Totally agree! Many artists shy away or begin to loathe the song that made them the star they are, or their biggest track, not John, he knows what an amazing and iconic song this is, and how important the message it contains is, and he embraces it and gives it everything he’s got! A true performer, a true artist, and undeniably one of the greatest ever singers this nation has produced!
Absolutely brilliant - he can still sing, John Farnham. If ever there was a candidate for a new Australian National Anthem, this would be it. Beautiful!
Yep like all of us he's ageing, but holy fuck there are young rock singers out there who can only dream of hitting those notes and sustaining them. I can't fault the guy he's still amazing!!!!
He didn’t hit those notes LMAO what are you talking about? umm didn’t notice the background singers carrying the high notes? That’s the way the world goes round apart from the first couple years Bon Jovi never hit the high notes in living on a prayer (if he ever did!) he left it up to the audience and the phenomenal singer who just happened to be an amazing lead guitarist too ( Freddie also never sang the high notes it was the drummer
nickyboy22071989 laughing my ass off what are you talking about cold play dude is a baritone with about one octave range J.F is a Tenor with fantastic technique

@@CharlieHoliday369 You can check him out live 2019 and 2020, hitting the notes.
These musicians showed, on this day, the epitome of what it is to be Australian, and our culture, and it breaks my heart for just how divided we've become, and not to mention, Farnham's health battle. I can only pray that Australians re-learn what is seen in this clip. Unity. Love. A strong will to fight against what is innately wrong. And knowing how to put on a damn fine show.
This man is a pure joy to listen to. He always make sure to acknowledge his fellow performers and fans. This guy is not full of himself. We need others like him.
This is classic. I don’t remember but I was thinking this year why don’t they have Farnsey, Barnsey and Arnsey sing at the grand final. But they’ve done it already!! They could do it again.
@@PEACEinYESHUA-oj7vc1pk7w John John was born John was born in 1949. (July?). In Dagenham, London, England, the family emigrated to Australia when he was 10.. Australia 's gain, our loss! He's just glorious - love his songs, every single one. Not a dud note in any of them. And he was still belting it out at 70, a charity concert for Fire Fight Australia in February 2020. And then covid19 shut down the world. And then the cancer diagnosis in 2022 - Aug? TH-cam has videos of full concerts, single tracks, interviews, documentaries. Going back to his teen pop idol beginnings. Great personality, huge stage presence. Really lovely human being. Jan'24. UK. E ❤
Was so saddened to hear of John’s cancer diagnosis. What an incredible singer! Stunned by this performance and still hitting those high notes. I had goose bumps the minute those piper’s walked in and began to play. I have tears in my eyes. I’m a Scottish lass. So powerful such powerful lyrics. Brings back so many memories to me. ♥️
Thank you @PEACE-oj7vc1pk7w for your comments. I was so happy to share this wonderful performance, so long ago and now want to wish John all the very best in his recovery. God bless John (The Voice)
In the background: Brett Garsed, one of the most talented and underrated guitarists to walk the earth. With him, Stuart Fraser another underrated Aussie guitar player. What the hell do they put in the water down under?
I was there this day, up in the top of the old Olympic stand and it's still the most insane roar I've heard from a crowd at the 'G. I might be misremembering this, but if I'm not ... the AFL hadn't put out in preceding days who was appearing but went out ... 40 minutes before it all happened. I've been to many AFL GFs, but this is the moment that just left me in awe.
greeting from Poland this song is just so awsome and moving that i cant stand to do not listen it at least 1 time per day. Its magic is that the more people sing it the more power it has :)
@@zentafergiefergie7044 heh only when its cold. 😉 I cant remmember when was the last christmas with snow. But i remmember January few years back with - 31 C digrees.
Special credit to the two women backing singers, their soaring high harmonies compliment and lift Farnham's voice wonderfully. Their vocal work adds greatly to this rendition.
Lisa Edwards is the backing singer directly behind John, she sang backing for him in concerts from back in '86/7. The male is Lindsay Field, also with him from the 80s, I don't know who the singer on far right is, usually Venetta Fields was his other female backing singer (also with him from the 80s) - all of them very accomplished performers in their own right.

Australia wouldn’t be true blue if it weren’t for souls like John Farnham. Make his words the Anthem of this country in need. His song Help says much. Thank you John Farnham for being in my life.
Recuerdo que una vi un documental del mundial de españa 1982, y en la semifinal de polonia italia, cuando Paolo Rossi hizo los goles pusieron esta canción de fondo....el.que hizo eso fue realmente un genio. Tenia 10 años cuando vi ese documental y quedé impresionado x esa canción y luego la vi en MTV cuando tuve 13. Me aprendí el nombre de la canción y nunca lo olvidé. Ahora tengo 31 años, y agradezco ese momento que vi el.documental de españa 82, xq me dio la suerte de ver esta increíble canción, para mi catalogada como un himno x su hermosa melodía, y que me gusta desde la primera vez que lo escuché en 1999. Gracias Jhon Farnham! Saludos desde Perú 🇵🇪
I bet every aussie wish they were here right now... instead..isloating 2020 covid 19..Aussies...we r the voice..lets not sit in silence..we can make it better...we not gonna live in fear..lets make a noise..and make it very clear!!! Keep safe beautiful people xx
John Farnhams words should be Remembered by the WORLD right NOW!!!!!!! And NEVER forgotten when it comes to TYRANY on a WORLD scale. May God who arte in Heaven protect Humanity world wide from the Evil one of this realm!!!!!!!
This was the last time the AFL grand final had quality entertainment. Come on! 3 legends of Aussie music + John's legendary band singing this iconic, heartfelt anthem. Now the AFL looks for overseas has beens and B grade performers.
Go to 3:22 and listen to them all singing the chorus after that in harmony. Nothing can be more powerful! I would listen to that for hours. This is an amazing song with great lyrics performed by a fantastic singer. I had a faint memory of hearing the chorus when I was a kid. I never knew what song it was. But then, some time ago and after all these years, I finally found it. The lyrics would also fit perfectly to one of my new playlists but I just can't decide which performance is the best one.
Farnham should be at every Grand Final, , AFL, or League ... till he dies. Just the aussie presence, and if he can't sing .. we'll do it for him. Get rid of all foreign musicians , Now . And if he can't make it .. then we have Chisel, oils, quiorboys , music that once defined our country.
John was 60 in July 2009. Close your eyes and it's no different from the 80s recordings. Love love love every song he sings (yes, even Sadie, especially the more up tempo version in the later years). . Going to spend my twilight years listening to him and watching his concert and other videos every day. Apr'24. UK. E❤

Every song everytime with same enthusiasm and energy everytime... That's a superstar!!! He brings it every single time for over 50yrs
This is Australia’s anthem to the world, he understands its power..beautiful
Superbe on dirait un Président en campagne mais avec la voix d'un master superclasse et la grande classe
Now THIS is how Grand Final entertainment should be
