Yes John's voice has stoodbthebtest of time. Last time he performed was 2020 and his voice was almost just as strong and he was still singing in the same key as he did whennhe was younger. The good news is that his voice was not affected by the cancer but I doubt he will perform publically again. But as his son said recently...you just never know!!!❤❤ This is also my favourite concert of John's. My favourite song from this concert is All Our Sons and Daughters. Probably his most hard rock song but it is delivering a hard message so needed to be.
Even after 50+ years of following John, I still listen to him every single day. Sometimes it's just a song or two, sometimes it's a whole concert, and sometimes it's all day while I'm cleaning house. I can never have too much John Farnham. I've been to dozens of his concerts throughout the years. I saw this particular concert 3 times, back in the day, and it was amazing, as all of his live performances and concerts are. He always, always give 110%, and he always makes everyone in the audience feel so special. There's no one, anywhere, like our GOAT, Farnsey.
Thank you. We love & respect John. He is a fabulous entertainer, has great stagecraft, & is a truly honourable man. Awesome backing vocals and band. Cheers from Sydney, AU.
A list of must watch John performances: Burn for you; loves in need and help ( all this concert everyone goes for help with the MSO but I like this one because he does he Beatles version and his own) also worth watching Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar final night performance at Sydney, and young John singing Bridge over troubled water ….just to name a few 😂
LOL!!! ❤😂🎉 Please, I want as many fans as possible to get John out there. There is just no one better than John and his band. Have you heard them using this song on an ad, it's not John, but his music seems to be getting out there more now, even in Australia and the US. The doco and the Logies tribute helped. Just love him ❤❤❤ Thank you Torben 😂❤🎉
@Jojomac-ix7oi there is an add advertising Chanel 7 news using someone singing the Age of Reason. Some supporter of Kamala Harris also used You're the Voice in a video that's gone viral.
Great, powerful song and John’s vocals amazing as always, he’s the greatest and most versatile male vocalist of all time. Anything John sings is bound to be gold.
Love your reactions to John ‘s songs. Just recently saw an interview with James John ‘ son . He stated that he doesn’t even know if his Dad will perform again. Hallo from Australia.
I am 59 and have all the CD's of John Farnham. He is just great, i lost my husband over 2 years ago from 3 different cancers. Knowing John is still here, bless to Jill and the boys. Bless to all.
I love the backing vocal arrangement on this song. John released a live album "Full House" that included excerpts from the "Chain Reaction" tour and from a previous tour. This particular live album had his rockiest hots from 1987 onwards. He did release another live album later on (Anthology 2:1967 -1985) but it was mostly easy listening, but still great vocals.
Thank you Torben 😊 ❤ Another great reaction to beautiful and humble man we loke to call The Voice. Age of Reason to me is just as much of an anthem as You're The Voice. Still as appropriate as ever. A real song for the ages to me. Beautifully constructed ❤ Farnsey and his band killing it again. The piano solo by David is complete heaven. Love the new set up you have going. Nice and calming with the fireplace in the background. I look forward to the next video. Thanks again 😊❤❤
Hahaha you sound like me when I’m getting in to Johnny’s music. Seen him untold times and it was never enough. Such a Legend they’re so few and far between. Loved him thank you for this ❤
Thank you for your great reaction and appreciation of our phenomenal Aussie legend, John Farnham. No one else has a Voice quite like John's. That's exactly why he's called 'The Voice' . He is the GOAT.! Have you seen his Award winning Documentary Movie yet called 'John Farnham, Finding the Voice'? xoxo
That's one great reaction Torben.....No matter what song John sings he gives his all. No matter if you're in the front row or at the back you felt that John was waiving and smiling at you. lol John is recuperating at his property where he is riding his beloved horses and I'm told he is singing around the house lol. He is busy writing his memoirs but I do pray will will see him again on stage....
P.S. My Mother, Daughter and I were lucky enough to see John Farnham Perform, at the Music Festival which was part of the 'Toowoomba's 70th Carnival of Flowers' in September, 2019! (West of Brisbane, S.E.Queensland, Australia). John was also 70 years old and he sang many of his hit songs superbly, as always. What a treat that was. xoxo. ...The first time I was lucky enough to see John Perform was in 1987 in Coffs Harbour N.S.W.!
G'day, Search for his concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in Melbourne. Pinnacle of his live performances for 'You're the Voice' and 'Help' it was a great night and privileged to be there!
Some other great ones from John and co are John’s version of the Beatles version of “help” the one with the Melbourne symphony orchestra was great, also live in Melbourne 1990 John does the Beatles version filled by his version which was incredible. Also “don’t let it end” a duo with Lisa Edwards is another great one. “Chain reaction, playing to win, the live version of “when there’s something wrong with my baby”, “black dog” by Led Zeppelin which is only on audio, it was a sound check, John used it as a warm up track and someone happened to hit record, it’s epic. There’s over 50 years of this great man’s music so there’s heaps out there.
Two of my favourite John Farnham songs from this Chain Reaction concert are:- "That's Freedom" - th-cam.com/video/JWjtlMBl3Xo/w-d-xo.html. and the whole band singing the Stevie Wonder song, "Love's in Need" a capella - th-cam.com/video/9m8-dc6FlCI/w-d-xo.html/.
Age Of Reason was written by Todd Hunter from New Zealand formed Australian based band Dragon and his wife Johanna Pigott who is Australian making Johanna to be first Australian female songwriter to have a number 1 single on the Australian charts . Age Of Reason became a John Farnham song because John has asked Todd Hunter to write him a song and Age Of Reason was the result. The original demo what was given to John features Dragon’s original singer Mark Hunter on vocals. Mark personally didn’t like the song because he found the structure vocally annoying . And agreed that the song to given to John Farnham. Age Of Reason become a number 1 single in Australia 1988 John’s last number 1 hit song . It’s John second biggest hit song after You’re The Voice . John regards Age Of Reason as the best song that was ever written for him .
I loved “Finding The Voice”. Something I noticed in it was that David Hirschfelder has aged like fine wine. He’s much more handsome now than back then. He also told some interesting back stories that we didn’t know before.

This is also my favourite concert of John's. My favourite song from this concert is All Our Sons and Daughters. Probably his most hard rock song but it is delivering a hard message so needed to be.
Seen this concert live, absolutely fantastic.
He would donate the flowers and toys to local hospitals.
John is such a beautiful man and truly loves and appreciates his fans

And help
Me too
Just love this song
I've found that this guy's music is so positive and uplifting. Such a treasure in days like these. His voice is mesmerizing in a very good way...
Your passion for John is awesome and yes you get it.
Enjoy from Australia.
Wow, thank you

John is great at everything including opera... "Grenada" with Anthony Warlow from The Main Event. Very funny too.

With the flowers … someone threw them at him at 2:25 and he caught them like it was nothing ….
Im with ya mate!
I love Farnesey too.
Genuinely believe he could be having God speak through him in his talent, i cant imagine a better conduit.
Couldn’t have said it better mate

It’s John second biggest hit song after You’re The Voice .

I’m sure you have, been such a big fan, but did you ever watch John Farnham: Finding the Voice?
I loved “Finding The Voice”. Something I noticed in it was that David Hirschfelder has aged like fine wine. He’s much more handsome now than back then. He also told some interesting back stories that we didn’t know before.
Check out "Gesthemane" from Jesus Christ Superstar Australia cast 1992 last night. Amazing performance by John.
I will, I have a lot of videos in the pipeline. Thank you!
