Lisa Edwards is his long time backup singer along with Lindsay Field (male) and Venetta Fields was the woman doing Amazing Grace with John and Lindsay. People who worked with him were just like a family and blended their harmonies so beautifullyl
Mr 110% live performer. He allways gives his best. So it really doesent matter what song he sings. But as listener i get blown away every time he sings . He is definetly the voice of all time. Get well soon mr Farnham.
Johns voice is not the only reason people say to watch is live videos its also his interactions with the band and his fans he is also a funny guy when he gets going as you will see when you watch his live stuff
Another great reaction. Many Aussies are fortunate to have been able to see John performing live at least once in their lives. Some of us have seen him many times. He really is one of the greatest live performers ever. Most of his band and back up vocalists have performed and recorded with John for over 30 years. That doesn't happen unless you have something special. So many bands seem to only last a few years or maybe a decade before they break up. But John and his band have stuck together through thick and thin. Some of the youngsters who started off in his band went on to bigger and better things, but that never stopped them coming back on and off over the years to support him. Think Tommy Emmanuel who was one of John's original band members in the early 80's and featured on the the Uncovered album. He came back again after he had become famous in his own right, and joined John for the Chain Reaction concerts and album in 1990 and the Talk of the Town Concerts in 1994. Tommy is now one of the most famous accoustic guitar players in the world. Check out Classical Gas ...and Guitar Boogie
It is Lisa Edwards backing up - Other than the original tv video for music shows, John's backup singer for this song has ALWAYS been Lisa Edwards. The amazing Venetta Fields is the backup singer in Amazing Grace. Both ladies, and Lindsay Fields all have amazing voices, and put together with John, has given us some of the best music ever in Australia.
John always compliments and recognises his back up singers and band members who are all a talent in their own right . He even involves the audience and all this combines to make his shows a memorable experience that's hard to beat . This back-up singer was Lisa Edwards who has been with John for years the singer on his amazing grace cover was Venetta Fields who was also with John for decades ,both these ladies are fantastic solo singers and along with the male back-up singer Lindsey Field knew how to make a song an event . I recommend you react to two of my favourite Farnsey songs. Both covers hits sung by Australian headline acts WHEN THE WAR IS OVER a great song originally sung by Jimmy Barnes of Cold Chisel fame and COOL CHANGE a soothing and calming song originally from Glenn Shorrick front nan of the original Aussie band The Little River Band both sung live in different decades but both magical and well worth your time .
You couldn't have been more right.. having grown up with this as one of my earliest musical influences I had no idea how very lucky we were to see him in concert several times, including having VIP tickets to see him at Expo 88 in Brisbane. How very difficult it has been for other artists to win me over with this as base level to compare to! I'm so happy to see all these reaction videos, it's magic 🎩
Hoping the Angels are watching over him now. John went through an 11 hour surgery for Oral Cancer having a tumor removed, he is still in recovery..... I pray for his recovery.
I have seen John live many times over the years but recently watched him on TH-cam as a very young man singing Georgia - oh my goodness blew my mind. 💕💕
Please watch the wonderful version with Lisa standing beside John singing and the BONGO drums playing, which sound better than the guitar and are more complementary to this song. Also, as a bonus, you'll see John's comedic side of his personality. Love you, John, and we are all thinking of you and sending you positive get well vibes.
Don't worry, those of us who did manage to see John live over his last 5 decades, knew that we were lucky. Amazing as John's voice is, it's his humanity that seals the total package and makes him so beloved. The Voice comes from a kind and loving man.
John is so awesome could listen to him for hrs and never get sick of him. I think you would enjoy Tina Arena, Jessica Mauboy & The Veronicas - Chains (Live at the ARIA Awards). 4 powerful Aussie women. Chains was originally sung by Tina in 1994, take a look at that original video too 🙂
I have been blessed to meet John, many years ago and spend a couple of hours with him, just hanging. I've also seen him in concert a few times, including when he was playing with Sir Tom Jones at The Domain. That was a fantastic experience, as you can imagine. Two amazing voices, two amazing performers on one stage.
Great reaction Tatosphere to an Australian icon. There is so many of his live performances you can react to, but the one you absolutely MUST react to is the Beatles song ‘’ HELP ‘’. Cheers Graeme
Worth having a look at John with Jimmy Barnes "When something is wrong with my baby" I believe the recorded version with the black and white video is the only song that is better than live.
John's first hit was Sadie in 1967. One of the dancers in the Sadie tv performance is the backing singer, Lisa Edwards, mother. John & Lisa were on the same stage while Lisa was a fetus

well said!!
John was born to sing. He simply sings as easily as most of us can talk. A true example of how good a human can sound.
No one compares to John’s phenomenal singing and performing, with his amazing band. Thank for appreciating him so much.
He is the kindest man,he respect his singers and band .

The first time I have seen this version of this incredible song. First class.
He truly is the voice
Backing singer on amazing grace was Venetta Fields, backing singer on this song is Lisa Edwards. Both great singers. Lisa has been with him for years.
Haven't seen this version before. Lovely 👏👏

Best singer in the world, he could strip paint off a wall with that voice!!
I seen him in concert twice , he's amazing. I cried both time's I heard this song.

The voice.!!!!
Yes it’s Lisa Edwards …. Been with John forever…. Happy Listening to our Legend !
Don't worry, those of us who did manage to see John live over his last 5 decades, knew that we were lucky. Amazing as John's voice is, it's his humanity that seals the total package and makes him so beloved. The Voice comes from a kind and loving man.
Yes it is Lisa Edwards who is one of his back up singers.
We have Guy Sebastian, who is a current vocal powerhouse in Australia. You should listen to him doing Standing With You or Believer live.
John is so awesome could listen to him for hrs and never get sick of him. I think you would enjoy Tina Arena, Jessica Mauboy & The Veronicas - Chains (Live at the ARIA Awards). 4 powerful Aussie women. Chains was originally sung by Tina in 1994, take a look at that original video too 🙂

Wow, is right.
Beautiful ❤
Brett Garset is his amazing guitar player
I think tho 2000 live version is better, really shows off them singing together
Great reaction Tatosphere to an Australian icon. There is so many of his live performances you can react to, but the one you absolutely MUST react to is the Beatles song ‘’ HELP ‘’.
Cheers Graeme
Nah you have to see the acoustic version Lisa edwards a trumpet a bongo honestly it’s a beautiful version
You need to watch this version with Lisa Edwards and John Farnham
John's personality shows through at the beginning
Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍
Worth having a look at John with Jimmy Barnes "When something is wrong with my baby" I believe the recorded version with the black and white video is the only song that is better than live.
The only one that I could compare Our John to, Live, is Freddy Mercury.
Jimmy barnes as good another Aussie singer watch Jimmy barnes and Joe bonamassa Stone cold He's in his 50s singing this
Check out....See The Banners Fall....Really worth a listen....Farnsey
Special performance😁
.
It's the other singer, Lisa Edwards, not Venetta Fields.
acoustic version is best imop
John's first hit was Sadie in 1967.
One of the dancers in the Sadie tv performance is the backing singer, Lisa Edwards, mother.
John & Lisa were on the same stage while Lisa was a fetus
No, that was Danielle Gaha who took over from Lisa while she was pregnant.
