@@sdhsfbrules A song that has many a grown man often in tears ??? Any Australian Band and song are better than anything most international artist can deliver .
Talk about setting the bar high….mr Farnham is truly an Aussie icon! This song is f******** EPIC! The bagpipes are stunning , loved the two pipers doing a bit of AC/DC and the rest play the songs …..I love this…empty…I have no more praise left.
What a song, I wish some artist would re realise this song or more importantly for John Farnham to re release it again. It’s so relevant that the world is going through now.
It’s a shocker that he didn’t become huge in the US as he would’ve easily had at least a dozen top 40 hits he is that damn good. A London boy who migrated to Melbourne at age 11 and ended up becoming a national treasure and living legend of Australian music history.
Never mind the US, what about the UK, considering he was born in the UK, he should've been huge along with Vanessa Amorosi, Human Nature, John Paul Young Tina Arena and Olivia Newton John, instead we got pathetic music from the United States when the UK is not related to that country, the UK should concentrate on culture from Australia given that the UK and Australia are both Commonwealth Countries.
@@meridian2000 I noticed he only hit the UK top 40 just a half dozen times and that was between 1986 and 1988. Even other artists from all over the globe have had immense respect and admiration for John Farnham.
Ok, I came across this one a few years back when there was a full version of it with introduction of JF's achievements, nominations, awards etc. Anyway, maybe a little more background from me. I'm a kid of the 80's. For my birthday, I'm really not sure for which one but it's not important right now, I got a tape recorder. So whenever I had time to do this, I'd insert a blank tape inside, tune to a national radio station and wait. I'd push a record button every time I'd hear my favourite music. And in the 80's that really wasn't an issue. Back to the present: when I saw this particular live video for the first time I was in awe. The gradation from one single guitar player to the whole band, then the bagpipers, backing vocalists, goosebumps especially from 4:43 on. That backing vocal harmony... Oh my, every single musician on stage at that point did him justice. This is what I call a live show and I'm sure the crowd enjoyed it full time. I kind of envy every single one who attended that event. At that point I was tranferred back in my childhood 80's and my tape recorder. Sweet memories indeed.
First time I heard this song was when I drive all the way back from Great Ocean Road to Melbourn, in the day trip bus. I shall listen to this song all through my future life and relive the moment of being small in front of the magestic nature.
John Farnham is the only artist local or foreign to achieve number status on the Australian chart in five consecutive decades (60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s) there's a reason why he's called The Voce
Yessss and hes the Only Australian Singer at that particular moment in time to have Had a SMALL MINOR Breakthrough INTERNATIONALLY in the U.S. Charts ....You're the Voice Was Absolutely MASSIVE in CANADA, The UK New Zealand Germany and Throughout Several Parts of Europe....You're the Voice Became 5x GOLD in Canada 11x Platinum in the UK ....and 24x Platinum in Australia Sales Throughout Europe in the 80s Of His Whispering Jack Album From the Year he Released it in 1987 To 1990 It is Speculated Although not Confirmed but speculated that "Whispering Jack" Sold Up to 11 Million Copies Making him one of the Best Selling Australian singers Of all time Etc Etc in The U.S. YOU'RE THE VOICE Only sold i think 2,000 Copies But Nonetheless It Did Feature on the U.S. BILLBOARD HOT 100 IN 1990 so that in itself is an ACHIEVEMENT Tbh
I uploaded this to TH-cam around 6 years ago it had almost a million views and over 3 Thousand comments until this channel decided to issue me with a take down notice and now my account is in bad standing and all the wonder comments and likes are gone. Shame on you!!!
Mate, cheers from India.....I was searching for the version you had uploaded and was scratching my head as to what had happened. Your upload had a clarity, intro and lots of fantastic comments....too bad that it has happened to you. The sound here is crap compared to yours....cheers..
Beautiful ,we love you John we are all watching TH-cam because we all miss you and wish you love . He has an incredible voice that makes me have goose bumps
I have loved this song ever since I heard it in the radio in the 1980s. Sat in front of the radio waiting for this song to be played so that I could eventually record it. And now I am sitting here listening to it again, still loving it so much. What a masterpiece. This song is meant for eternity.
Only just realised now that during the instrumental they've mashed in the instrumental from "its a long way to the top" by AC/DC! How cool and quientessentally Aussie is that!! 🎶 🎵
Its a song u can listen 2 over and over !! Great lyrics great voice and gotta love the bagpipes!!!! If this song doesn't make you feel proud to be Australian nothing will.
Australia's Son, Lovesya so much matey, you get better & better, aint nothing gunna keep you down, we will add our Power to yours & kick that wannabe in your body, out out out.... Much Love 🙏
If this song doesn't make you feel proud to be Australian nothing will. I much prefer the version that Brandon Beard had up on his channel. Absolute legend, and an awesome version of this anthem Same barber as Trump
that signature mic stand throw and catch - so sorry they didnt capture that properly
Ladies & Gentlemen this is a performer and this is a band and this is how its done . Farnham The KING.
Where do you rank Hunters and Collectors - Throw Your Arms Around Me in your top Australian songs?
@@sdhsfbrules A song that has many a grown man often in tears ??? Any Australian Band and song are better than anything most international artist can deliver .
i realize it is kinda off topic but do anybody know a good site to stream newly released movies online ?
@Caspian Gus i watch on flixzone. You can find it on google :)
Karaoke King maybe
this was over 20 years ago. Let that sink in.
He was only 54. Christ he looked rough. I thought he was way older than that here. Still alive in 2024 though, so good for him.
Goosebumps every time
That intro. That fucking intro!!
When Angus brings those drums in…goosebumps.
To think that we may never hear this legendary voice again.
Get well soon Mr Farnham. You are The Voice
🎙
Talk about setting the bar high….mr Farnham is truly an Aussie icon!

Fully agree ✊ Especially when Australia is groomed by dumbvid19 dictatorship!
Yes! :-)
"We're not gonna live in silence,
We're not gonna live in fear
Oh, whoa, Oh, whoa .."
@John Farnham morning, I am good and you.
True
What a song!

That voice and the pipes! Invokes something in me, perhaps my Scottish heritage.
I'm gonna be playing this and because i love you on repeat all day today. R.I.P Glen Wheatley, the world wouldnt know this if not for you
Who glen wheatley
@@joshuaharper4446 he was the manager for john farnham and a band member for masters apprentices. As manager he spearheaded farnham's solo career
Like a good old wine, the older the better. He's a legend, he is a king.
Kindly regards from Germany
Recht hast du! Grüße aus Berlin 😊
Oh wie wahr ❤

I'm 39 next week and this has been my all time favourite song. What a voice.

Brandon Beard that’s a shame I like how you upload John Farnham videos because I’m a big fan but thanks for the hard work uploading it.
@@elevatorsfromrobloxbyposword Thanks for saying that I really appreciate it 👍🙂
I was one of those admirers and I deeply thank you for helping me (re)discover John Farnham. Greetings from Italy!
thats just bull shit by ARIA ordering you to take it down even though it took them 6 years longer to upload
Mate, cheers from India.....I was searching for the version you had uploaded and was scratching my head as to what had happened. Your upload had a clarity, intro and lots of fantastic comments....too bad that it has happened to you. The sound here is crap compared to yours....cheers..
The AC/DC tip of the hat and the crowd and the man himself ??? That is what Australian Rock is .
Beautiful ,we love you John we are all watching TH-cam because we all miss you and wish you love . He has an incredible voice that makes me have goose bumps

Words do not express how much i love this man!!!!! My heart still explodes when I hear his voice.... what a guy!!!!
This song is magic even in 2022.It means a lot to many of us.Thankyou John,you are number 1 in my book...
Still can't believe this was 20 years ago now... I watched a 2018 clip where he sang this with Celine Dion. He still has such an amazing voice.
John Farnham is the best. Not just a fantastic singer but a really nice and down to earth guy.
These boys with the bagpipes are still the best. I love John Farnham and the song, but they´re energizing as f...awesome.
My favorite song and I think this is my favorite version starting with the verses and then “It’s a long way to the top” mixed in there
This song is so stirring! A strong voice to protest to all the injustice.
Only just realised now that during the instrumental they've mashed in the instrumental from "its a long way to the top" by AC/DC! How cool and quientessentally Aussie is that!! 🎶 🎵
John is the Voice and he will always be the number 1 Voice for me.
❤👏❤
Its a song u can listen 2 over and over !! Great lyrics great voice and gotta love the bagpipes!!!!
If this song doesn't make you feel proud to be Australian nothing will.
John was born in Dagenham Essex England they moved to Australia when John was 10 years old
Best. Version. Ever.
Damn he‘s such a good singer!
wishing him love and respect after his terrible fight with cancer
@@brendadrumm9451 same tho!
Absolute legend, and an awesome version of this anthem
Brilliance at its best. Although you chopped off the Rove intro and outro. A performance highlight that always includes those bits in my mind.
The best there is now and the best there ever will be !
this song has so many levels ,, amazing
WOW.........THIS never gets old.......................👌👌👍👍💕💕
Wow dä typ isch eifach hammer.

Wonderful. I loves.
I cried listening.
I will say it again The King .
THE GREATEST SINGER F ALL TIME. Mr. John Farnham. 😍😍🥰🥰🤩🤩
Anyone else notice that thr first Bagpipe riff was the one from AC/DC's Long Way To The Top? Awsome little homage there!
Thus was in front of other artists. They are all standing and loving him. That's how much he is admired and loved by Australians
Dedicated to all the playbackers and dubbers in the music industry
What a performance! He pulled his undies on tight for that one, sang it better than when he was younger
another perfect mic throw and catch at 4.05
He always throws the mic stand in every live performance at the same point 🤣🤣
and usually catches it :)
Simply the best...
I love John what an awesome talent
He s the voice....
Absolute legend, and an awesome version of this anthem
Same barber as Trump
If this song doesn't make you feel proud to be Australian nothing will.
Those bagpipes completes the song👍🏻👏🏻
His mother and maternal grandparents were from Aberdeen. The bagpipes were awesome.
AL FIN UNA VERSION DIFERENTE!!!! MUY MUY PERO MUY HERMOSA, BRAVOO!!!!!
You're welcome!!!
Wow! Man!
I would give anything to have a voice like John's 🎶🎤
i love this song....and guy sebastian, i see u.
To go with this Masterpiece work of art music: TOTO "Only the children" (Y)
Fantastic!!
Inesquecível!
Brillant 👌☘️
nice to see the bagpipes back where they should be and not replaced by a keyboard like most of the other versions
I much prefer the version that Brandon Beard had up on his channel.
Agreeed - there is something wrong with the audio in this video. Kind of sounds mono to me.
Thanks mate, means alot 👍👍
Great Artist!
I wonder what the next performer up was thinking when they saw this? How in the world do you follow him?
Long way to the top bagpipes, what class
What a Voice !
great words
32 thumb's down ??? Cannot be Australians !
Epic song !!
Welch kraftvoller Song des Austaliers! 💋

Eu amo essa música!
How is it even possible to sing like he does? He is definitely the voice. Amazing.
not to mention TWO F5's in succession at 4.41,, insane
2:27 its a long way to the top by ACDC.
Clever .
❤
Holy shit they went wild when he caught that mic stand
❤️❤️❤️
