A high percentage of that audience weren't there just for John...and weren't born when this song was released... but that's the power of Farnsey and this song.... doesn't matter who or when .. we all know the lyrics... John is a living legend
I was there. It was a huge all day festival. Crazy hot
@@mattybond So lucky - it would have been an epic day !
@@JoSedunary it was, but then they always are
To think that the songwriters said “No” to John recording this but he went ahead and recorded it anyway (getting full permission afterward) is still absolutely mind blowing, especially as it became such an iconic Aussie song to this day almost 40 years later!
He hits those notes at full power at 70 years old at the Fire Fight concert with Queen 2 years ago. He gave it everything and nailed it at that concert. He was out of breath for a little bit after which is understandable, but he gave it everything and smashed it better than most in their prime can hit. He is a freak of nature.
Next request
Not bad for a guy that smoked cigars until sometime in the 80's
@@bigadz0r yeah I was going to ask the same? Any video of that on TH-cam?
@@080gina080 th-cam.com/video/ilAyoo2wOT4/w-d-xo.html but it's 28 minutes... The first song is probably enough! John nearly blows his pipes out
What? He's 70? Talk about vigour.. Great to see. Maybe I should raise it up.
Probably 70 percent of the crowd wasn't born when John released this but 100 percent were belting it out. That tells you where this song sits Down Under.
I was there at the Sydney Cricket Ground and saw it live. Absolutely phenomenal atmosphere. The reason Farnsey and Coldplay were on so early in the show is because Coldplay were touring Oz at the time and volunteered their services for the bushfire relief concert and had to fly to Melbourne to do their own show that evening so good on 'em for for that.
On the US market, John once said (like in the early 1990s) that he knew if he wanted to make it big in the States he would have to live there, and he liked living in Australia, and was happy with the level of success he had there, so chose not to make that move.
Perhaps that decision is what enabled him to be the grounded, lovely, content and happy family man that he is. I love watching the clips from his shows. He's not a singer who has gone on stage to just perform, he's s artist who is having a party and wsnts everyone to join in and have a bloody good time.
He has lent this to the YES campaign 🖤💛❤️ it's amazing singing this at marches 🖤💛❤️
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
😁😁😁💜💜💜
I love how much you love John Farnham !!
It was only about a month ago when I learned that there are places in this world where Farnsey and Barnsey are not household names.
@@The.Talent the shock!!! Who doesn’t know farnsey and Barnsey right??
Me too
I was WAITING for you to react to this. This video makes me cry every damn time. The whole crowd was younger generation people, there to see coldplay (English) and so on and yet they literally went OFF when John came out and knew every. Single. Word. Trust me when I say this song is our unofficial Australian national anthem.
Just look at all the young people in the audience. The Voice has touched yet another generation. 💪
As others have said, John is a multi generational artist, he's absolutely amazing
That is a literal Banger of a show, the crowd is 110% into the song, singing along!
from 8 to 80 year olds they go to Farnham concerts as a crowd, and then come away as mates. Farnham does that to you :-}
Even all the young people were more excited to see and hear john singing.
Glad you love our john like we do ❤❤❤
Sang the whole thing with gum in his mouth and didn't choke. Now that's talent
🤣
barnseys and farnseys did not really want to leave australia i think they had enough sucess here , they are aussie boys and were happy with their local support .
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other,
Down the barrel of a gun?
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Whoa, Whoa
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Whoa, Whoa
Farnsy and this song are so powerful that kids as young as 8/9 to elders well into their 80s/90's, know every lyrics to this song. I'll never forget going to my first Farnham concert and being amazed that as a 20 something year old, I wasn't the youngest person there. There were families with their kids, and even the kids were up out of their seats, singing along! Farnham is a Legend
Thank the writers for such a powerful songs with brilliant lyrics! You’re The Voice was written by four British people (Andy Qunta, Keith Reid, Maggie Ryder and Chris Thompson) on the day of a protest March for nuclear disarmament that was held in London’s Hyde Park on 25th October 1985 but Thompson slept in so they all wrote the song while watching the protest on TV 😀
@they didn't think he was good enough to sing their song. Proved them wrong.lmaree200886
A thing I love about this particular video is that most people in the audience weren't even born when John released this song. That's how much it has gotten into the Aussie psyche. Everyone knows the lyrics and loves belting it out whenever it's performed. 😊
Before the first note even finishes you know what it is
Our boy John farnham what a legend absolutely loves this man xxx
Is a legend ❤❤❤
Your reaction is gold! The smile on your face is exactly how we, as Australians, react every time this song plays.
This song has been in my head all week. I can't help reflecting on the mayhem in Ukraine.
Thought the exact same thing listening to the words today. It's an anthem to injustice really
It's my top 5 songs of all rime
Sound Relief was a charity gig put together in very short time and all the local artists and any international artists in Australia donated their time to raise money for victims of the Victorian and New South Wales Bush fires the took hundreds of lives and wiped whole towns of the map, and why these 2 states were burning, Queensland was drowning.
There was 80,000 at the MCG in Melbourne and 50,000 at the SCG in Sydney, alternating sets between the venues that were also telecast to the other venue. 2 bands played both Melbourne and Sydney
What is interesting is this crowd probably not born when this song was a hit and still they know it and love it.
I love how Chris Martin calls it the Australian national anthem at the start 🤣
This bought tears to my eyes to see all the kidsoving this performance. He deserves to be loved by generations and generations and go down in history as one of best vocalists of all time.
“He can body more than half the industry “… respectfully, given 3 weeks vocal exercises, he would BURY 80% of the singers today!!! I do note, you then said more than half!!😆😆😆 Loving your channel Nic !!🇦🇺🇦🇺🙏🙏❤️❤️
No, no Oprah Winfrey or Ellen. They were Aussie centric really. Both of them did venture overseas. John did sing in America with Little River Band, but he was happiest at home . Barnsey too. And weren't we the lucky ones eh? His live concerts were unbelievable. When we finally let the poor bastard go home after all the encores, there was the happiest vibe walking home out of arena to get to our cars or public transport. Everyone was on a high. I can imagine Farnsey and his band having so much adrenaline that would not have been able to sleep properly. He was an electric performer. You couldn't quite believe what you were hearing. Nowadays it would be all mixed and pitched by electronic devices, back then it wasn't, it was just him. His voice is a gift to us downunder and we still love the big Dag.
Sound Relief was a benefit concert in 2009 to support the Victorian Bushfire and Queensland flood victims. It was huge! Quite a few international artists came to perform. Coldplay is from England 💛
Indeed. And we have floods devastating Qld again right now. 😩
I remember getting to see that on the screen while at the Melbourne MCG concert @ the same time. It rained so much it took a week for my jacket to dry. But still one of the best concerts & for a great cause
@@Teagirl009 Yep it’s been relentless 😔
Can’t believe it’s come a full circle with the floods again!
Jimmy Barnes was spoken to by Eddie Van Halen about whether he would like to be the new singer of Van Halen before they went with Sammy Hagar.
This is one of the best things I've heard in my life!
Jimmy Barnes did go to America I've seen a video of him on stage with Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, and a few other's. I've also see him singing with Bryan Adams they did an ACDC song.
It’s not just that John can do this at his age, it’s that this is a single song performance (when it would normally be at the end of a concert when his voice was fully warmed up), and not even with his own sound techs!
I loved how Chris Martin (from British Coldplay) tried to finish it and John stole it back and ended it correctly! That's a master performer! 😁
Thank you for acknowledging that although John’s voice is different from when he was younger, his voice is still just as powerful, as is the songs message! ❤
Would love to hear Coldplay’s reaction and memories of this moment
Apparently he said it was the greatest most powerful live experience he ever had! I red that on another farnsy video reaction in comments so came to watch!!
@@mareewalker1096 that's because Coldplay will never ever get a reaction like John Farnham!
@@TheChangeling yeah farnsy is another league to coldplay!
I've been binging on your vidéos for 2 hours and my cat is so p*33ed at me. He's just trying to sleep on me and I'm belting the songs out... lol🐱🐈😻
It’s is so strange to see so many people in one space so close together… music really is healing and the world has missed out on that for the last couple of years… we desperately need it back
What an absolute legend he is - still brings a tear to the eye every time I hear this song.... As for going to the US and doing Ellen or Oprah and playing the BS games the US music scene has? Yeah, Nah... As the song says... 'You've got nothing I want, You've got nothing I need'
I really love your reactions to John Farnham. Always put a smile on my face 😃😃
Wow, John FArnham with Coldplay! Brilliant!! Great, love it❤❤❤
Also Chris Martin is a huge Farnsey fan and was actually blown away he got to do this song
Fun fact, John was scheduled to perform at the Sound Relief concert in Melbourne but Chris Martin asked him if he could come to Sydney to perform You’re The Voice with them and he couldn’t refuse. John was however was quite intimidated to meet them, so when they met in Melbourne he arranged it to be in the The Farnham room (a dressing room named after him) at Rod Laver Arena because he thought it would be funny
💞💖💞I Swear!!! I LOVE hearing You Sing!! Your Enthusiasm is Infectious!!💞💖💞
Most Aussie singers and bands always start out in pubs and clubs, that’s why we love our bands. They can sing live ❤️❤️❤️
And THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS and THOUSNADS of kids are singing along
Damn. Look at the Crowd!
Like Fine Wine? He gets better with Time. You got to keep that bottle Secured.
He is Pure Vintage.
I think the last big public performance by John (at least available on TH-cam) was right before COVID hit at the Fire Fight Concert in 2020. He did not disappoint.
PS I wish this was the national anthem.
Word is when Freddie Mercury passed John was the first person Queen called as a possible replacement singer.
John F rocked the building
Coldplay is English as far as I know. And no I don’t believe John or Jimmy ever appeared on US TV. The Us’s loss but I’m glad he ( John stayed in OZ. )His marriage stuck together like glue. He raised his family with Jilly. And I found out he’d had some songs in movies. He’s just a lovely man and we love him. We are praying for you and Jill and the boys. Love Tina -66- from Australia 🇦🇺♥️🙏Also big Thankyou to Nick and all reactionists who have taken John’s music around the world.♥️♥️♥️♥️
Freddie was supposed to be the only one to have control over his audience like no other , but the rest of the world did'nt know our John
John went to the states with Little River Band... but came home when that tenure ended... A lot of LRB fans wanted their original singer (Glenn Shorrock) back as they deemed John too much of a 'fussy' singer (Glenn tended to sing very 'straight' to fit in with the bands harmonies... unlike Johns backing singers who have perfected singing 'around' Johns runs.... ) Jimmy formed his own band after Cold Chisel ended and chose American players to tour the US with... he came home too. His single Lay down your guns did quite well over there and I'm sure a fair few people knew of and supported Chisel over the years so probably knew Jimmy's name when he went solo at first.
being part of that rabble was unforgettable, old johnny killed it .
The new camera looks great
Was a banger of a concert that for those who lost their property in the 2009 Black Saturday fires. Coldplay did a monster version of "Fix You" at this concert as well.
It warms my heart to see Nic singing along to The Voice all the way from the USA.
Yeah I think we should let the Ukrainians borrow this anthem right now ❤️❤️❤️
No.
No not the Ukraine. Putin needs to hear the song and the Russian military leaders!
Yes great Australian song
No its Aussie only
@@Caroline.123 no that is not how us aussies are. We all start out as mates, we are all one and this is the anthem for the world right now. Sharing is caring.
I don't know if Farnsy did any US concerts but I came across a concert he did in Munich, Germany. John Farnham - ROCKPOP IN CONCERT (1987)
What a legend😊
Ove seen that one too. They loved him. Loved him. Huge crowds
I was at this concert, this moment was amazing and probably why I lost my voice the next day
Bloody amazing 🥰🇦🇺🥂
Were all Someones Daughter Were all Someones Son How Long can We look at each other Down the Barrel of a Gun You're the Voice try and Understand it make a Noise and make it Clear Were not Gonna Sit in Silence Were not Gonna live in Fear.... Even in this Generation Those Lyrics are still Relatable and Powerful
In my mind the best ever performance of this song was at the fire fight fundraiser in 2020
The crazy thing is is that he DOESN’T use a falcetto with those high notes! It’s all him!!! ❤️
Hey 103.5 Fever. I thought you were talking about a radio station. That was your body temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. Very high fever. Get well soon bro.😀 My best wishes to you, you are a good man. Coldplay are from England.
"we're not gonna live in fear!"
Thanks for making me laugh out loud with joy! I love your reactions!
Most of the audience wouldn’t have been born when this song was released but they all know it
Nah mate, John only wrote the lyrics to a handful of his large discography of music over the years! This one was written by four British people (Andy Qunta, Keith Reid, Maggie Ryder and Chris Thompson) on the day of a protest march for nuclear disarmament that was held in London’s Hyde Park on 25th October 1985 but Thompson slept in so they all wrote the song while watching the protest on TV 😀
Amazing
Coldplay is English. Look at the age of the crowd here man.. Farnsey is popular with every generation.
John Farnham is truly an Australian icon. When his hit single Sadie ( the cleaning lady) came out in 1967 I was nearly 12 years of age. I have grown up with his music. Have enjoyed your reactions to his songs especially " Your the Voice" I think he has visited America as a solo artist, I remember reading he was mistakenly introduced as Jack Phantom at a club in the U.S. so he started using the name Whispering Jack Phantom.
Fun fact he was the only Australian Artist to have a number one record over 5 consecutive decades.
Always amazes me youve got an audience there watching and enjoying Coldplay who drop em like hot cakes to worship John Farnham and the timelessness of his music. There they are all young Australians who just know his lyrics because his music is for everyone no matter how young old the audience is the common denominator is that they are Australian. I love that Coldplay were so impressed by his performance 🙂
Love this performance
Awesome Nic, good times
This show was done after the Black Saturday fires which decimated a lot of towns and killed nearly 150 people in 1 day. It was horrific.
John only has gum when he's not 100% well , a way to keep voice lubricated when had cold/sore throat there is a Germany concert in Whispering Jack era , when relentless touring late 80s when not want to disappoint and never cancel , can see the gum a lot and hear a bit of extra raspiness in the voice
John was in the usa when he sang with Little River Band. But most Americans had no idea who he was. I was a Huge LRB fan growing up but didnt know any of their names. I just remember a different lead singer and i loved his songs. Had no idea MANY years later, i would discover John in a reaction video of LRB. I was like, "Hey!!" Played the recorded version of "Reminiscing".. john performed that song. Glenn Shorrock sang it.
I was there! It was sooo good.
Ive been waiting for this one
Goosebumps 💗
And most of the audience wasn't even born when the song was released.
Never been international
John appeared on Solid Gold back in the day.
There are two uploads of this performance on YT. One has better audio, the other (this one) has the extended intro.
This was for the 2009 Sound Relief concert, a fundraiser in the aftermath of some serious bushfires in Sydney.
I absolutely love the sing along with Chris Martin. John shifts right down to first gear, and whispers along to give Chris a chance to be heard, then goes straight back up into the Farnham stratosphere to finish it off.
Jimmy and Cold Chisel tried to break America, record execs stuffed them around, hence 'You got Nothing I Want'.
American radio couldn't figure out how to pigeon hole Farnham into a genre, he had one or two songs with some minor chart success but that's it. In the end he chose family over trying to relentlessly break the American market, and I think that's something that a lot of people here really value and appreciate about him.
This isn't John's only performance with international superstars. He recorded 'We Will Rock You' with Queen for the London Olympics, and big fan that he is, Bryan May performed this very song with John at another bushfire relief concert, right at the start of the pandemic. Celine Dion has also performed this song on tour in Australia, and John joined her as a surprise in a concert a few years back. Heart also covered this song and some chart success with it.
No mate, this had nothing to do with Sydney or NSW fires! This concert was a fundraiser for the February 2009 Victorian bushfires and Queensland floods
we're not gonna sit in silence-we're NOT GONNA LIVE IN FEAR
I saw this in person and it was an incredible moment in time.
John Farnham is an international star, he was in musicals and performed in the U K, and I think, around Europe. I don’t know about America but the world is so much bigger than just the USA. Coldplay is an English band who are popular and perform all over the world. Jimmy Barney’s is Scottish/Australian and has also performed internationally, please stop dismissing countries that aren’t America.
Great t-shirt
From memory, this was in about 2009. John had had a couple of years off performing and (I think) he did a tour late in 2009 for the first time in around 5 years. I remember being so so excited as it was then the first time I was able to see John live after we all thought he had retired from performing. So his voice was a little rusty (by his standards) with Coldplay. I’d say his voice sounds even better 10 years after this performance. I’m sure others may correct me if I’m wrong 😂
Totally agree....he sounds significantly better in 2018. He's a little off here.
This was 2009. Sound Relief concert for Sydney Bushfire aid.
@@smink8 in 2018 his voice was from another planet. Unbelievable how good he sounded then.
@@kane29842 It was for the Victorian bushfires and Queensland flood victims. Seriously Google it! 🤣
John could've had or did have a tour in America, if I'm not mistaken, but HE chose to go back to Australia to be with his wife & kids! THAT is the main reason, other than his incredible voice & personality, that I love & respect him more than any other singer!😊 By the way, John was about 60 in this video. If you'll notice, there are no stupid cell phones in the crowd, only a few cameras! 😄
Nick, you're the voice too! You're Awesome!! What a singer voice you have!!❤❤❤ An artist!
Love our Aussie Singers Artists!❤❤❤
John is now 72 - July 1st 1949
~~~~~~~~~~~WE’RE NOT GONNA LIVE IN FEAR~~~~~~~~~~
John belts the song out. Chris Martin sings his part insipidly and John has to basically whisper to ensure he doesnt totally drown him out. Then John gets straight back into it and blows everyone away.
50 plus years in music perfection
John Farnham and Cold Chisel tried to break into the US market in the 80s but they didn't have a lot of support from record labels etc. The Sound Relief concert was in 2009, when John was 60. Still had a killer voice! I love how you go all fanboy when you hear Australia's best vocalist ☺
Entertaining Australians for generations
Luv it
well done 👍
Everyone correcting the lyrics, at least get right….”we’re not gonna live WITH fear” 😁
How about the one that added in ‘going’ and ‘to’ when it’s not even the lyrics? 🤣😂
