John Lennon wrote it. The Beatles sang it.John Farnham owned it.
True dat
It's said John Lennon said this was how it was supposed to have been sung, John Farnham is an absolute 💯 legend in 🇦🇺, he fucking nailed this song 🎵
@@CassieShakespeare John Lennon got to hear this version in the January of the year he was murdered (December of that year) and yes he did state that this was kind of how he wanted to perform the song, but the music company/film company wanted an upbeat version.
Jonn first released his cover of Help in 1980.
The best vocalist and human being in our lifetime.
John Farnham is an absolute legend down here in Australia. Unfortunately he recently had surgery for cancer in his mouth. He had to have part of his jaw removed. Hopefully he makes a full recovery, and we can hear him again! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
John Farnham! The most humble and real man. A great talent! Good luck, John. 💜💜💜 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
Just so beautiful ❤️😅
This was an encore performance after a 2 hour concert. He is "The Voice"
That trumpet was a saxophone 🎷and John Lennon said that this was the definitive version of this song. It no longer belongs to the Beatles. It is Farnham's song now.
Entire concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is just amazing.
100% correct! ❤
So true. The Beatles were great songwriters and the words were profound for men so young. John did the lyrics justice.
John doing Led Zeppelin Black Dog, audio available only. John and his band were doing a sound check and it was beautifully recorded. He can sing any genre!
His voice has a compelling attractiveness that can inspire devotion in others. He has hooked me!
He can sing anything!!🎶 Please do his cover of ACDC's Its A Long Way To The Top If You Want To Rock & Roll also with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra from this same concert...its fantastic!!🎶🎸🎶
This concert was just amazing,so many great songs and he gave 💯 percent as he always does. His performance of It’s a long way to the top is unbelievable also at this concert.Aussies love John he’s known as The Voice down here
You gotta hear he him sing live “When the war is over” there’s a few versions of it but u gotta watch the 1 where he’s older wearing a suit that’s the best version he’s the G.O.A.T in Australia & always will be 🥰🤗💞💕
No the one from the 1987 is better I feel whispering Jack concert
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Another beautiful song by
John Farnham is
🎵 You're the VOICE 🎵
You're gonna love this one too Keep the good work Biz ✌️ 👏 👍🏻 👌
He's an amazing singer " burn for you". is one of my favourite.
And "Touch of Paradise". That moment ...'and I woke up shaking...'. Goosebumps every single time.
I was there. If not this actual one, certainly one of the ten sold out shows at what was - at the time - the newest, biggest stadium in the city. Fun fact, it's also where they play the Australian Open.
You gotta remember, too, this was the second encore at the end of a solid two hour plus show. The guy never stopped giving it all he had
Must have been a different night as this night there was another encore after this that had Sadie and It's a Long Way to the Top. John did love to mix things up! 😊
Great reaction.
John is such a legend in Australia.
Legend (just like Jimmy B is a legend) - his voice is so good - I love 'Burn for You' and 'Angels' (the live 2000 version - stripped back)
John pretty much has the most versatile voice on the planet. He can literally sing anything and it's right in hos wheelhouse. He has had a decades long career with hit songs and albums in 7 consecutive decade since the 60's.
His signature song is You're the Voice. Pick any live version. This concert with the MSO is spectacular buy so are most of his concerts which were all televised back in the 80's 90's and 2000's so there is plenty to choose from. Or even from his time as the Lead singer ofnthe Little River Band of the early to mid 80's or even from his time as a teen pop idol through the 60's and 70's. You will be spoilt for choice.
John doesn't have a wheelhouse, unless you take a matchbox, point at it, and say "Everything outside that box is Johns wheelhouse." :)
@@Jus7aguy my point exactly.....everything IS his wheelhouse. If he sings Rock...yep his wheelhouse. Pop...wheelhouse...
Country. Still wheelhouse, Musical Theatre..definately wheelhouse..Anthems, Balads, Love songs, Opera say no more ❤❤❤❤
This concert was advertised as John and his Big Band in typical Aussie understatement, it's a 100+ piece orchestra for crying out loud. lol
This song is one of the last songs that he would sing at the end of the night after he had already sung his heart out for nearly 3 hours.
Some have pointed out that this particular recording of the concert was closer to 2 hours of actual singing during the TV special, but it was also on the 4th or 5th night that he had sung like this.
Either way, it was one of multiple nights that he did this on January 4-10, 1989, so his voice is still worthy of the accolades.
Not many other singers can belt like that for even 2 or 3 nights without a rest.
And besides picking at the exact details or this exact performance, Farnsey also has a way of getting deep into the emotions of your soul.
A couple of songs worth checking have been mentioned below, plus these are worth a look also.
The reason you haven't heard of him is because the US music industry is a closed little club. When John Farnham went to the US they didn't know which genre to put him in so his US promotions manager got him a couple of gigs in a little jazz club, where the MC introduced him as Jack Phantom. Couldn't even be bothered getting his name correct, so being a bit disheartened he wandered home to concentrate on his loyal fan base. The experience did give him inspiration to write a couple of good songs about missing his family, like this one.
-Burn For You..
th-cam.com/video/4PPvOhPspEA/w-d-xo.html
-Angels..
Notice how he holds the mike below his chest, both mikes are a metre away, which he does all the time to not drown out the other singers.
JF with Lisa Edwards, a top singer in her own right, and one of John's back up singers for 20+ years.
th-cam.com/video/5_2NJRIdBO8/w-d-xo.html
-Amazing Grace..
To show the calibre of his other back up Singers, showing you have to be good in your own right, just like Lisa.
This is Vanetta Fields and Lindsey Field.
th-cam.com/video/_x6N94OEkZQ/w-d-xo.html
-Please Don't Ask Me..
This one with Olivia Newton John, who we have recently lost. John has also had major cancer surgery including removal of part of his jaw and we may not hear him sing again. So let's enjoy this one as well..
th-cam.com/video/2uV_tZODfK8/w-d-xo.html
-When Something Is Wrong With My Baby....
And even when he is singing with one of the most powerful voices on the planet, Jimmy Barnes, he still put the mike away from his face and closer to Jonny Diesel on guitar.
th-cam.com/video/AU_bCchDWF4/w-d-xo.html
Or this version.
th-cam.com/video/RAlFHSPLHpo/w-d-xo.html
-When The War Is Over…
Possibly one of his greatest vocals.
th-cam.com/video/lfWrXc5eN8g/w-d-xo.html
-Or is the greatest.
Gethsemane..
th-cam.com/video/k5woMZtClhI/w-d-xo.html
-How about a mike test.
He has the power and ability to distort microphones, amps, and get speaker stacks jumping. So this sort of setting up the venue test is a must. Lol
Black Dog.
th-cam.com/video/F2Yi6TVi-sU/w-d-xo.html
Besides having the best voice ever, JF can adjust his tone, pitch, volume, to match the person he is singing with to either match them or sing just under them depending on who's the head line act, he will even back himself down when he is the head line to give others their moment to shine, and if my ears were sensitive enough, I wouldn't be surprised if he could vary his vibrato, timbre and all of those other things that voices can do so he could accentuate the other singers.
Yep you got em all, saves me doing it 😊
So do you keep this comment saved in word or notebook to make it quicker to copy and paste from other Classic Jack reactions? ;-)
@@devilsadvocate2548 Word.. that way it was easier for it to evolve over the first dozen or so iterations. I have to get the folk digging deeper once they have discovered JF.
@stevegraham3817 great idea!
Absolutely beautiful.
Next you should do "It's a long way to the top" an AC DC cover done live from the same concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra! John's performance on this one is so good.
And Gethsemane from JCS
@@kathyconway5327 Yes, that one is a must too!
And black dog by zeppelin
How good is that the place goes OFF!
@@kathyconway5327❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂
Our wonderful John is so adored here in Australia. Not only an incredible talent but the nicest, most humble and funny Aussie. I have seen him live many times, just remarkable.
Love watching Americans discover what we in Australia have known for decades now - John Farnham is the GOAT>
Hi Biz! Thank you SO much for reacting to this! John is better live! Have you reacted to You’re the Voice with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra? It’s the best one! Thanks for everything you do! Peace and Blessings from Australia.
He did Led Zeppelin, Black Dog, as a sound check. One of the techies pushed record, so there is no video, but that is mind-blowingly good. He did do it on stage once in Brisbane and it made it onto an album called rarities. Other than that in the concert called, The Main Event, with Anthony Warlow, opera singer, he did Grenada, and with Olivia Newton-John, Please Don't Ask Me, among other memorable things. Anthony and Olivia were back from beating Cancer atthe time. Now John has become cancer free after his diagnosis, just before Olivia, an old friend Passed away, he then had an 11 hour surgery to remove and reconstruct his jaw from mouth cancer. He had some hiccups but is reportedly doing well now. Singing a bit at home, but no word on if he'll be back in his later life stages.
Doesn’t matter how many times I see this, I am reminded what a simply fantastic musician he is.
John is such an amazing artist he actually makes this song his own when I hear it.... it is John's HELP ❤
Your emotional appreciation of John is beautiful ❤️🇦🇺
Thank you
My memories of Help is knowing the John Farnham version first. I was in my late teens when I worked out that this was a cover.
Oh my friend, welcome to the world of John Farnham! The Greatest Australian vocalist you will ever hear. You have just discovered a whole new world of music. Welcome to the journey!
Awesome reaction. You get it. You saw one of the most special voices on the planet!
☮️ That was 🔥✌️☮️
Australia loves John. No one sings like him. Our nation is blessed by such a magnificent voice.
I am yet to make it through this one without tears. I just can't manage it.😢❤
Our John…not just an absolutely legendary vocalist, but a humble man who has always put his wife and family before fame. In his heyday he could have ruled music worldwide, but he chose to limit himself so his relationship with his family didn’t suffer. John is also a very, very funny bloke! No wonder we love him so much. ❤ In the last few years, thanks to TH-cam and other social media reactors, John’s music has seen a resurgence and appreciation worldwide. Glad to see him finally get that recognition he has always deserved!
AbSOULutely Exsquisite Creativity WithIN Expressed Out❤He has an Exsquisite Voice❤Love Love Love this Concert with the MSO❤Thank You John Farhnam❤
John loved getting the fans in on it!
John Farnham is an Australian icon, one of the best performers we have. Unfortunately late last year he was diagnosed with cancer of the jaw, he had part of his jaw removed and is still in recovery. It is heartbreaking that he is unlikely he will ever sing again, but has been singing hits since the 1960s and his body of work will live forever!
I could see the emotion in your face through the song.
Awesome true feelings in your reaction mate.
We all love John in OZ
John’s version of When The War Is Over in the 2003 The Last Time concert. John is about 54. There’s a bit of chatter before he starts singing, but this is my all-time favourite performance by John. Vocal masterclass, but sung with such passion you can’t help but know this man sings from his soul, not just his voice box.
He is a national treasure here in Australia 🇦🇺 ❤ Glad you liked it.
Great reaction thank you for appreciating John. So many good songs mentioned already also let me out, that’s freedom, when the war is over anything live from John is worth it
John Farnham is an Aussie legend…
THERE was a concert that John Farnharm Oliver Newton and Anthony
Watch long way to the top with Melbourne symphony orchestra and john farn ham also playing to win, and your the voice try those few songs and it's a rabbit hole are you ready for it
IF you want the uptempo version of HELP the same as the Beatles version, JOHN FARNHAM also does this version which is insane.
To find it YOU TUBE the following >>>>>> John Farnham - Help - Beatles (High Quality)
From the Chain Reaction concert where he does both versions and they are incredible. John's arrangment is special tho. His musicianship shines through in his version
Absolutely vocally perfect. Every. Single.Time. "The Voice" is the man ❤
Barnsey and Farnsey are Australian rock'n'roll royalty
What a nice humble reaction. John is one of our favourite Aussie artist.
In some of John's concerts he did start out with the original Beatles version. Then he did his version.
Thanks for showing John at his best.. he is nicknamed farnsy (farn-sea) by his fans
Oh WOW.....our JF is an absolute legend.......we are so lucky to have seen him live THRICE, and once performing with Olivia Newton John....GOOSEBUMPS every time, especially when the audience gets involved. One of my faves on the TH-cam is ( after he had been so quiet for so long ) when he popped up on stage with Coldplay at the 'Sound Relief concert' at the Sydney Cricket ground in 2009. He had been so quiet for so long , but the huge crowd had no way forgotten him and it looked like he was absolutely thrilled to bits. News is that he has recovered well from his medical issues and we wish him nothing but the best.👏👏💕💕💕💕 ALWAYS the "Voice"
Anything from the same concept. In fact anything live with John is incredible. More please
There are some full-length concert uploads out there from his (I think The Age of Reason) tour that have him doing the Beatles more pop version right before going into this version. The contrast is very, very interesting.
Chain Reaction tour. 1990
Please Mr Bizmatik enjoy the rabbit hole that is John Farnham. Loving your reactions keep it going mate
Gotta Definitely react to "You've The Voice" After All he is referred to as "The Voice of Australia!!"❤
So So good, loved every minute of the excellent performance ,and your reaction!.
You should check out him singing this song together with the Sidney symhony orcestra back 2006 he was 57yo at the time, i think that was the last time he performed this song live. And he just as good. This man is definetly one of the best male singers of all time and master of every music genre. ❤
Love our Johnny !
There is one tiny thing you said wrong it was a saxophone not a trumpet solo and if you ever do your the voice same concert there will be bagpipes solo just letting you know
Lots of reactions to this song from people and lots of very positive comments, but not many people comment on just how good his backing band and backup singers were.
John usually does
That was the encore after a 2 hour concert.
It was 'a' encore. The was another encore after this one! He had impressive endurance.
John sings Granada that was made popular by Pavrotti
Richard Marx named John the greatest voice alive today. He isn’t wrong. Pick a genre and just listen, from Soul to Opera he is a master. This song was an encore after more than 2 hours of that voice.
The Beatles wrote it but John fixed it. John Lennon told him that was how he wanted to sing it but the truth is they couldn’t and I loved the Beatles. I love the person who says he has had hits for over 7 decades. He is 74 and he was not born singing, he started at 17. He had hit albums in 5 consecutive decades and he is loved. He wasn’t allowed to sing his way until he was 38 or anything he wrote. Try Burn For You live that John co wrote for his wife. Thank you and I love watching people discover John.
To think he backed it up with another encore after this! Incredible endurance.
John Lennon heard John sing their song and said that's the way it should have been sang beautiful, but their manager at the time wanted a lively song and not a Ballard from what I have heard anyways
Man if you like this wait till you see he's rendition of Amazing Grace.
Check out John's signature song You're The Voice from this concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Always watch live performances, you get so much more from an artist; they show their true, innate ability. A great duet to watch is with Olivia Newton John singing Please Don't Ask Me from The Main Event Concert, it will pull at your heart strings; it is great theatre. Talking about theatre, watch John's performance of Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar the musical; John has the talent and ability to sing most genres.
John's version really brings out the emotion in the lyrics. Love the Beatles but John's live version here is on 👉.
Much loved Aussie icon here.❤❤❤
A legend in Australia 😍
I agree with everything you said.❤
This was 2nd encore after 2/3 hr show. It's Farnham not Fernham.. check out Black Dog by Led Zeppelin cover (will be audio only) was used as a warm up/mic check. YOU"RE THE VOICE, IT'S A LONG WAY TO THE TOP (AC/DC), WHEN THE WAR IS OVER. JUST A FEW TO GET YOU STARTED. When reacting to John, they must be live as his performances are a show in themselves. Just love the Saxophone 🎷
And this was the first encore after a two hour concert.
John tried to learn this song on the piano but could only play at this tempo. So he sung it his own way and the rest is history.
You should listen to ‘It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll’, AC/DC cover from the same concert. It’s something to behold!
Powerful!
Yeah, Thanks Mate.
Great reaction.. can you please react to more of John Farnham and Jimmy barnes and Jimmy with his band cold chisel..

Considering we Aussies have John Farnham as our standard and have had for so many decades, you understand why we just don't put up with rubbish music!
Fantastic Farnsey reimagining of a Beatles' classic ❤
Hi is the GOAT
Anything, just make it Live
Listen to “When the war is over” . THE BEST VOCAL””EVER””!!!
BEATLES BABY!
Trumpet? I heard a Tenor Saxaphone and John Farnham singing. Suggest you check out : Your the Voice, from the same Concert. You will hear Bag Pipes, but NO Trumpet.
🎉❤
Sax not trumpet. 😂 John is the GOAT.
hey please could you do James Arthur - Just Us ?? would love to spread it across social media
Check out The Low Spark Of High-Heeled Boys. by TRAFFIC another great song/album from 1971
Biz where are you? You done disappeared again we miss you I can give you some many ideas of Musi the Rock n roll is endless because it encompasses all genres
And the funny thing is that no one will ever know if John felt this was one of his better performances. And that says all it needs to say.
Saxophone not trumpet. Check out John Farnham doing Black Dog as a sound check, never released as a single just a sound check and nailed it.
From the same concert, “You’re the Voice” and “Playing to Win”.
Iconic.
❤
Hey Biz my Man.
Would you please do an album reaction?
Please react to the, "Foghat live" album.
It is one of the greatest Rock albums. Ever!
Kudos, my Brother from another Mother!
My man seriously called a sax a trumpet 😂😂

Love your reaction! Luv from Australia ❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️
Thank you so much!!
Religion right there.
Thank you for a great reaction but I still can't find the "trumpet"!
