Amen - as if anyone not Australian knows how to pronounce Johnny's name!! We love you Nick & you are so true when you said Jimmy gives off James Brown vibes - I'd never thought of that before you said it but 100%.
As an Aussie, it is brilliant to see someone, especially from the USA, hear John for the first time and thoroughly love his stuff as much as we all do and have done for the last 50yrs or so! We are so proud to be able to call him an Aussie, even though it was his adopted country as a young boy. He is ours and just an absolute legend!
Amused but very much impressed Kiwi here, grew up with Aussie rock, Cold Chisel, Aussie Crawl (boys line up), Icehouse, hell I got ripped for it last time I was in Melbourne, but I _love_ Howzat by Sherbet. And AC/DC is -pants- hands down the best band from the Southern Hemisphere; I'd listen to a dozen akka dakka albums before I put a single Van Halen song on. Alf's Rape Dungeon and Damo & Darren is some of the funniest $hit ever too. Shout out to Milko ;p
i am literally sitting in bed in tears, in locked down in Sydney (4 months and counting)....and this is the most beautiful thing I've seen in so long. We have always known Jimmy and Farnsey are our angels but the rest of the world didn't. Seeing other people recognise it and appreciate their talent and how they've given us SO much love over all these years, over so many generations.....it really means a lot! Keep going with Aussie music! we can help you! xxx
That rasp, nothing like it. Can tell it a mile away; I would've loved a stage with Jimmy, Bon Scott & Brian Johnson all together, their rasps & reaching those notes, then the moment it needs to end in the 'scream'. RIP Bon
I've been watching your Johnny and Jimmy videos religiously for 2 days now. Both are such legends and to see you give them the recognition warms my heart! ❤ from South Australia
100% agree you forget to appreciate how gifted these men were and still are. I love this recognition its reminded me a born aussie to add more of their songs to my spotify hahaha all our backyard bbq songs growing up
Back in the '90s John Farnham's concerts were shown on primetime TV as a 'special event'. We're talking 7:30 pm on a Saturday night. And millions of Australians watched.
@@glenthorne6055 I had an argument with a guy in TH-cam. I said that Farnham has comr back out of 'retirement' more times than anybody. And this goober was like: "No, he never said it was his final tour!" And I wrote: "So why did he call the tour 'The Last Time'?
@@RolandDeschain1 Because it was the last time he planned to perform under a big top in the round. He was asked in interviews whether this meant he was retiring, and he always said, nah, mate, I'll keep going until they cart me off in a wooden box or people stop coming.
@@missjayemau @ that time he actually said "you'll have to listen to the lyrics" neither confirming or denying but plugging the name of the album,a clever marketing strategy methinks! Then in may 2009 when he did the tour BACK BY DEMAND he stated "I'm tired of being retired" He also said earlier he hadn't planned on anymore big performances but couldn't say no to performing for the Commonwealth Games. He also said something similar after performing with Coldplay. Do U see a pattern here?
@@RolandDeschain1 some people just don't have a clue but I clearly remember those concerts as being promoted as being our last chance to see him do one last big show. I remember cos I thought FINALLY!! I'm not a big fan even if he does have a great voice, he's just not my cuppa
John is one of the most generous performers on earth. If you've been to his concerts, you will know what I mean. He NEVER failed to freely give the spotlight and openly show admiration to every performer, be it singer or instrumentalist. One of his band members was Jack Jones, who went on to make his own band. John's response, absolute delight!
th-cam.com/video/mLAJlD0Wg08/w-d-xo.html This is Jimmy joining Keith Urban on stage to do Flame Trees. It's cool because the crowd go nuts when Jimmy comes out and at one point they both just stop singing and the crowd sings for them. Enjoy!
'He's wearing a raincoat.' Not a raincoat, its a 'Drizabone'. Originally made as an Australian stockman's coat but is now a highly desirable and fashionable clothing range. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driza-Bone
@@amandajames611 I didn’t know that about John but it makes complete sense. I knew some roadies with Cold Chisel. They had the joy of changing the sponge out of Jimmy’s dynamic mic 🎤. Often times there was blood in it. I don’t know how he didn’t blow out his voice! Maybe it was the vodka????
Hi from Australia, your Legend for bringing our home grown to USA. I used to live next door to jimmy and his mum and family, they were the field boys just running a muck. God love ya.
Jimmy Barnes,his talented wife and musical adult kids have been doing frequent "keep your chin up" Facebook home performances during our covid troubles. They are both top performers and great Australian musicians
Yeah, the talent def runs in the family, his daughter Mahalia is a talent in her own right oft performing with her dad. She went on The Voice when it started to prove herself & went up against her best mate Prinie Stevens in the battle rounds. Many say she lost cos she was a bigger girl. Dunno if that's true but she's got some pipes on her!
Yeah it’s not his wife that sings with him. Been lucky enough in my career to work with chisel. Barnsy and Farnsy. You should here jimmy do mariachi lol.
@Joshua Philosopher she is now, during lock down she learnt to play the guitar and Jimmy totally supported her by singing with her and they would put vids up on Instagram...pretty cool
Just remember, my friend. These guys are really good friends and have been not only on the circuit and singing together since the late 80s. They are both truly showmen
That was jimmy's song , recorded when he headed the band Cold Chisel. That's why john invited him up. They have been mates a very long time. John mentored jimmy a bit when he first started out in the industry. They have a great mutual respect for each other.
Most Americans I've heard pronounce Farnham the same as you did so don't let it bother you. When Jimmy came on and started singing the hair on the back of my neck stood up.
I love when people watch these videos and call them boys. Lol. They are in their 70’s now but everyone still gets to enjoy them. I also like the order in which you watched the videos of them together. In the first one, Jimmy lowered his rock voice while John lifted his. This one is more natural John and Jimmy.
I'm in my 60's, I've had the privelege, on multiple ocasions, to see both these legends live! They created the soundrack of my youth, and I'm so proud that there's someone in the US who immediately gets it!
It warms my heart that you have been exposed to these two legends… they are the most down to earth talented people that have the respect for the music and have respect for their fans…. Absolute respect for John and Jimmy…. More and more of your reactions for both of them….
Us Aussie's like to borrow the world best talent, Jimmy from Scotland, John from England, but they are true blue Aussie in their souls. You are so entertaining to watch, thankyou for loving them as much as we do.
Jimmy has the ability to sing this hard over his whole life without destroying his vocal cords due to the fact he sings using his vocals different to anyone ever.
Your reactions to these two titans are sheer delight. Farnsey also did concerts with Tom Jones and Ray Charles. Amazing! Tom and John doing It's a Long Way to the Top is simply brilliant. John's backup singers are Venetta Fields and Lindsay Field. It seems Lisa Edwards isn't in this clip. Venetta was a backing singer with some of the greats. Ike and Tina Turner, as an Ikette, Pink Floyd, Barbra Streisand. She moved to Australia in the early '80's. Venetta, John and Lindsay singing Amazing Grace is absolutely beautiful.
Being an Aussie and seeing an American appreciate the awesome power of both of our nation treasures; James Dixon “Jimmy” Barnes and John Peter Farnham is heartwarming. It’s incredible that people from other parts of the world can sit down, listen to the power of the voices of these two men and be in awe of them just like we all have been since the moment we first heard them. My mother introduced Jim and John to me at a very early age back in the 80’s (I am 38 now) and they are both the basis for comparison when it comes to vocal rage and I may be a little bias but for me nobody has ever reached the level of these two men save for someone like perhaps Freddie Mercury. Thanks for listening and continuing to react to these two two great vocalists and I have become a fan of your channel because you have become a fan of Australian music which sadly is slept on when it comes to the rest of the world. Cheers mate 😊
I have read Jimmy's first book back in the day. He has a paragraph about this performance, he rates this a one of his worst. The Reason being is he normally warm up his voice for an hours before going on stage, but this night he didn't. And he is right. It is rough ass guts. During this time he was singing as good as ever, but this was not good. PS. I adore jimmy, named my first born after him
Saw John Farnam live when l was 19 and he had just released Whispering Jack, the album. It was and still is one of the highest selling albums in Australian music history.
I’m literally getting so much joy watching you and your happiness listening to two of Australians best legend singers. These videos your watching are from the 80’s and 90’s and I can tell you they still have it now in 2021.
This is Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham, both are Australian singers, who are legends here in Australia. Both are the nicest men ever. John Farnham’s ‘your the voice’ is Australia’s unofficial national anthem. Check out Jimmy Barnes Facebook page he posts songs everyday to help get through this pandemic. They are amazing singers
Jimmy Barnes - Cold Chisel (even done a duet with Tina Turner) John Farnham - Little river band (The Main Event with Olivia Newton-John and Anthony Warlow singing each others songs)
Haha you’re really pulling the Aussie subscribers. We’re loving your vibes. You gotta get the accent Farnsey and Barnsey. BTW I liked how you said Farn-ham🤣
I am LOVING watching you discover Barnesy and The Voice. I grew up with their music but you are bringing it to us Aussies with fresh ears and eyes, and your commentary is hilariously wonderful. Huge new fan right here.
John & Jimmy are Australian royalty. We totally love these guys in Australia. Total legends. This would have been a live concert back in the 90’s. John’s coat is called a drizabone (dry as a bone) they are Aussie coats worn by farmers in winter. It was his thing during this period. I’ve been fortunate enough to see both of these legends live a few times. Even saw Jimmy at a couple of pub (bar) gigs, he still does those. Both amazing, genuine human beings and all round great blokes. You’re the Voice is an unofficial National anthem and everyone belts out Chisel songs at parties & bbq’s. We love these dudes.
I was at this concert, I was only 16 years old at the time, I'm now 52 so that's how long ago it was, it was an amazing concert and the 2 best humans/singers in Australia! I have seen John in concert about 12 times in the past 40 years, I went to a concert where he toured with Lionel Richie, John performed first then Lionel and I'm not lying when about half the audience left because compared to John. He was not in the caliper or showmanship of john Farnham!
Yea you gotta react to the classic Cold Chisel era when Jimmy was young, Farnham is technically an unbelievable singer but more soft pop/rock, Cold Chisel were more rockers. They were as big as AC/DC to australians plus the guitarist singer had an amazing voice as well.
There's a marvellous 1970s TV special called 'The World of Johnny Farnham', (when he was 21) which showcases the range his voice has and how well he sang even back then.
What a pair of absolute bloody legends. This is from the 80’s, when rock n’ roll was still real and these guys were right up there; the kings of Australian rock.
I’m going through all the Australian reaction songs, in the sun, with a beer. I’m so proud of our music history. Hello from the Central Highlands of Tasmania.
As an Australian I think it is wonderful that you are appreciating these two incredible national icons and sharing it to the rest of the world. You keep doing what you do and if you love it that means more than how a name in pronounced
You're doing a great job with these clips. These artists are revered in Australia, but you have increased my level of respect for their ability. Respect brother
You would so love the INXS live from Wembley stadium 91'. Michael was a beautiful person and had a angles voice. A reaction to any of the song from that concert would be amazing and you won't be disappointed
Love watching your reactions… you keep doing what you do.. ignore the complainers… your reactions are what make you… you… Love that your discovering our Aussie legends.. Johnny and Jimmy… and your a home fry…love from Queensland Australia..
What a pair of legends. How gracious they are when performing together. Humble and gifted, both!! “Dude came straight from planet fitness and jumped on the guitar” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 love it!!! ❤️
Jimmy wouldnt even remember this amazing performance. (Not even the very next day, sadly.) But my gosh. Their voices are superb together. I love Jimmy's voice now. Its matured so beautifully, and throughout this pandemic, watching him and his family had been very uplifting.
I love your reactions -- you clearly really get into the video you're reacting to .. and that makes it so much fun for us. LOVE John and Jimmy, and John's harmonizing with the back-up singers is absolutely beautiful!
Great Aussie legends You should do the Cold chisel version of this song and the 2003 John farnham version when he is 53 and can still smash it big time.
This is actually a Jimmy Bares song from when he was the lead singer for Cold Chisel but these two have played off each other for years. As per the other comment about Jimmy being drunk,well he was drunk for a lot of his career and we never complained or even mentioned it back then because it didn’t matter he was awesome anyway. Love your channel keep up the good work and thanks for the great memories mate. Shooter.
He apologised later for phoning this performance in, without bothering to give it a lick of warmup or rehearsal. At least the rest of the time he was drunk he was still being professional about it.
I agree with you that John has excellent backup singers but also when you complimented them in this video Jimmy was also singing with them in the background.I’d recognise that voice anywhere
Listen, I love so many singers from all over the world but I’m a proud Aussie and massive John Farnham fan. We danced to Touch of Paradise as our wedding song.
Two Aussie legends having fun. Been around seems like forever. Love that you gave John's Backing singers and musicians praise. They are amazing and as far as I know they always perform with John as well as some solo songs. I saw this concert live years ago and it was breathtaking. Not just great singers but terrific Aussie blokes. Have a read about Jimmy's childhood, he wrote a book about it. Both of them have wonderful supportive wives and families. If you can find Mahalia Barnes Jimmy's Daughter often sings with him. She is fabulous love her singing im on fire. Another great Aussie singer is Kate Cebrano. We have so much talent in our country. Also love you highlighted Guy Sebastian. Just love Guy. He is fabulous. Thanks for your critiques I really enjoy watching them. Thankyou.
As an Aussie, I used to work in the music industry and I was lucky to work with both Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham they are amazing live and the nicest two men you can meet and I have worked with many bands from Australia and overseas including the USA and the UK
I have had the pleasure of seeing both of these magnificent performers in concert...John, I've seen 3 times and Jimmy, I've seen once but never both at the same time. Absolutely brilliant in concert both of them and I have very fond memories of all those concerts. Thank you for highlighting these Aussie icons. Take care and stay safe.
Loving the John Farnham reactions mate. You should definitely check out the live version of John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes 'when something is wrong with my baby'. It's by far the best live performance these two perform together, and up there with one of the best live performances you will see. 👍👍
The raincoat John is wearing is an Australian coat from a company called Drizabone. (Dry as a Bone) I think the coat he is wearing is the Heavy weight Oilskin Riding Coat. If you see it from the back it has a high split so you can ride horses and it keeps you warm and dry. It’s a legend and a lot of people wear it as a fashion accessory as well as a riding coat. A lot of horse and country people wear them. They are really great coats and wear well. They are an Aussie Icon. I hope you like the information. Hugs from Australia ❤️❤️🐨❤️❤️
don't ever get down with the haters mate. you're doing a fantastic job and us aussies love you
Well said mate 100 percent
Haters are given far to much attention.
This kiwi loves him too
Amen - as if anyone not Australian knows how to pronounce Johnny's name!! We love you Nick & you are so true when you said Jimmy gives off James Brown vibes - I'd never thought of that before you said it but 100%.

And AC/DC is -pants- hands down the best band from the Southern Hemisphere; I'd listen to a dozen akka dakka albums before I put a single Van Halen song on.
Alf's Rape Dungeon and Damo & Darren is some of the funniest $hit ever too. Shout out to Milko ;p
I love that "He's got a flawless vibrato" and I'm here thinking "oh man he's got a flawless everything!!!!!!"
When you've grown up with this kind of music, you tend to forget just how amazing they actually are.
So true. I feel like I never really gave these guys the credit they deserved. Australia took this talent for granted I think. They are incredible ❤
when those two sang together in australia they were know as barnsey and farnsey
And still are. They will go down in Ozzy history as Barnsey and Farnsey . LOL
I havent heard someone say that in years- but yep - barnsey and farnsey!! You gotta be an 80's teen/young adult to know that one!
One of my favourite songs from Them
You seems to be very delighted to both Jimmy and John raspy voices doing they duet and you going crazy on them ♥️
Thank you! From Australia 🇦🇺

Nothing wrong with mispronouncing. You’re doing the world a favour exposing these two great Aussie artists. Thank you brother 🤓🙏
Thank you
Yeah, Whispering Jack
It's nice to see you love ❤❤❤ our boys down under ❤❤❤
Jimmy has the best scream in rock. Period.
That rasp, nothing like it. Can tell it a mile away; I would've loved a stage with Jimmy, Bon Scott & Brian Johnson all together, their rasps & reaching those notes, then the moment it needs to end in the 'scream'. RIP Bon
@Joshua Philosopher - it's really obvious how unmusical it is after Farnham's typically awesome performance. A little embarassing
@@justindaley2460 Jimmy's just screaming Into his latest albums. Zero harmony. Johnny on hey hey singing my yiddishe momma. Wow
I've been watching your Johnny and Jimmy videos religiously for 2 days now. Both are such legends and to see you give them the recognition warms my heart! ❤ from South Australia

His voice was also phenomenal and sounded very much like JF.
Nothing gets planned in Australia we just do it.

Please do "Flame Trees" by Cold Chisel. Jimmy Barnes was the lead singer and this band is how he became famous. Great video by the way!
Yes, please do Flame trees, and Khe San, and please do Working class man
And Please also do Saturday Night....

Hi from Australia, your Legend for bringing our home grown to USA. I used to live next door to jimmy and his mum and family, they were the field boys just running a muck. God love ya.
Jimmy Barnes,his talented wife and musical adult kids have been doing frequent "keep your chin up" Facebook home performances during our covid troubles. They are both top performers and great Australian musicians
Yeah, the talent def runs in the family, his daughter Mahalia is a talent in her own right oft performing with her dad.

Yeah it’s not his wife that sings with him. Been lucky enough in my career to work with chisel. Barnsy and Farnsy. You should here jimmy do mariachi lol.

62 year old Aussie woman here... I've loved John Farnham since he was Johnny and I was 7! Your reaction brings tears to my eyes right now...
That was jimmy's song , recorded when he headed the band Cold Chisel. That's why john invited him up. They have been mates a very long time. John mentored jimmy a bit when he first started out in the industry. They have a great mutual respect for each other.
Always though it more of a Mossy song than Jimmy’s - even though he comes in with a bang in the Chisel version
The song was written by Steve Prestwich, the drummer in Cold Chisel.
Most Americans I've heard pronounce Farnham the same as you did so don't let it bother you. When Jimmy came on and started singing the hair on the back of my neck stood up.
Bruh , one of the best react videos I've ever seen ..and yes Jimmy and John are a duo for the ages, hard to beat !
sorry to hear that someone was rude to you, most of us Aussies are nothing like that.

Proud Aussie here! Love how much you love our John and Jimmy 🇭🇲
Man, ignore the idiots, you do a great job!
Love your work!
Cheers!
It warms my heart that you have been exposed to these two legends… they are the most down to earth talented people that have the respect for the music and have respect for their fans…. Absolute respect for John and Jimmy…. More and more of your reactions for both of them….
Us Aussie's like to borrow the world best talent, Jimmy from Scotland, John from England, but they are true blue Aussie in their souls. You are so entertaining to watch, thankyou for loving them as much as we do.
If we didn't claim immigrants, we wouldn't have many people to claim. Plus I doubt either of them would claim to be anything other than Australian.
Jimmy has the ability to sing this hard over his whole life without destroying his vocal cords due to the fact he sings using his vocals different to anyone ever.
Jimmy had a specialist tell him he uses his "Secondary Vocal Chords" and because of that he can sing like that forever
Cold Chisel is Jimmy's band from the 70s. Brilliant music, have to find them in your Jimmy rabbit hole!
The live version of "something wrong with my baby" from hey hey is Saturday is awesome. Pronounce their names however you want:)
All day
This reaction gave me goosebumps when Jimmy came out! That raincoat was John's iconic Whispering Jack coat from the 80's. Instantly takes me back!
We Aussies appreciate you playing our Australian singers as far as we are concerned they are good if not better then the rest of the world,thank you.
Your reactions to these two titans are sheer delight. Farnsey also did concerts with Tom Jones and Ray Charles. Amazing! Tom and John doing It's a Long Way to the Top is simply brilliant.

I also loved Nick's call out of Johnny's guitarist, man I had such a crush on him - fit indeed!! :D I believe it's Brett Garsed.
While he’s clean now him singing after drinking a bottle of whatever he could find jimmy was amazing as well in that state

The way both of these guys harmonize with everyone they sing with is ridiculous. And they are both world class singers.
I’m loving the Aussie tributes, we have known for a long time how good our singers are
I am 62 and John Farnham has been singing since I was in my very yooung years he inspired my love of music
I have read Jimmy's first book back in the day. He has a paragraph about this performance, he rates this a one of his worst.

I've been listening to John all my life...but I still get goosebumps every time.
Jimmy Barnes - Cold Chisel (even done a duet with Tina Turner)
John Farnham - Little river band
(The Main Event with Olivia Newton-John and Anthony Warlow singing each others songs)
Haha you’re really pulling the Aussie subscribers. We’re loving your vibes. You gotta get the accent Farnsey and Barnsey. BTW I liked how you said Farn-ham🤣
What an absolute treat ❤❤❤
I am LOVING watching you discover Barnesy and The Voice. I grew up with their music but you are bringing it to us Aussies with fresh ears and eyes, and your commentary is hilariously wonderful. Huge new fan right here.
Thank you Kelly:)
Just laughing and smiling at your Pure Joy!
Love the detail in your reactions. Because you know how to sing, adds so much more than the others out there
Johns backing singers are very good singers in their own right. They have been with him for a very long time.
John & Jimmy are Australian royalty. We totally love these guys in Australia. Total legends. This would have been a live concert back in the 90’s. John’s coat is called a drizabone (dry as a bone) they are Aussie coats worn by farmers in winter. It was his thing during this period. I’ve been fortunate enough to see both of these legends live a few times. Even saw Jimmy at a couple of pub (bar) gigs, he still does those. Both amazing, genuine human beings and all round great blokes. You’re the Voice is an unofficial National anthem and everyone belts out Chisel songs at parties & bbq’s. We love these dudes.
I was at this concert, I was only 16 years old at the time, I'm now 52 so that's how long ago it was, it was an amazing concert and the 2 best humans/singers in Australia! I have seen John in concert about 12 times in the past 40 years, I went to a concert where he toured with Lionel Richie, John performed first then Lionel and I'm not lying when about half the audience left because compared to John. He was not in the caliper or showmanship of john Farnham!
Yea you gotta react to the classic Cold Chisel era when Jimmy was young, Farnham is technically an unbelievable singer but more soft pop/rock, Cold Chisel were more rockers. They were as big as AC/DC to australians plus the guitarist singer had an amazing voice as well.
Agree mate, he would freak over Mossy
There's a marvellous 1970s TV special called 'The World of Johnny Farnham', (when he was 21) which showcases the range his voice has and how well he sang even back then.
What a pair of absolute bloody legends. This is from the 80’s, when rock n’ roll was still real and these guys were right up there; the kings of Australian rock.
I’m going through all the Australian reaction songs, in the sun, with a beer. I’m so proud of our music history. Hello from the Central Highlands of Tasmania.
As an Australian I think it is wonderful that you are appreciating these two incredible national icons and sharing it to the rest of the world. You keep doing what you do and if you love it that means more than how a name in pronounced
You're doing a great job with these clips. These artists are revered in Australia, but you have increased my level of respect for their ability. Respect brother
You would so love the INXS live from Wembley stadium 91'. Michael was a beautiful person and had a angles voice. A reaction to any of the song from that concert would be amazing and you won't be disappointed
Two of Australia’s top male vocalists, they are I feel the best two male vocalists in the world
Love watching your reactions… you keep doing what you do.. ignore the complainers… your reactions are what make you… you…
Love that your discovering our Aussie legends.. Johnny and Jimmy… and your a home fry…love from Queensland Australia..
What a pair of legends. How gracious they are when performing together. Humble and gifted, both!! “Dude came straight from planet fitness and jumped on the guitar” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 love it!!! ❤️
Jimmy wouldnt even remember this amazing performance. (Not even the very next day, sadly.) But my gosh. Their voices are superb together.
I love Jimmy's voice now. Its matured so beautifully, and throughout this pandemic, watching him and his family had been very uplifting.
Goose bumps when those two are on stage totally love Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham!
John Farnham “amazing grace” is must
I’m another Aussie loving your reactions to these two great guys. Thank you so much for your reactions. Love your work!!😎
Dude you have to listen to some of Jimmy's classics like Working Class Man, Driving Wheels, Die To Be With You Tonight or No Second Prize.
I love your reactions -- you clearly really get into the video you're reacting to .. and that makes it so much fun for us.
LOVE John and Jimmy, and John's harmonizing with the back-up singers is absolutely beautiful!
I know John Farnham can sing but the original by Jimmy Barnes and Ian Moss of Cold Chisel is the best version of this....
Are all the Aussies watching not gonna talk about Farnsey’s leather Driza-bone? Haha
Great reactions mate....I enjoy watching you enjoy their music! Cheers from Australia....
Hrs not wearing a raincoat, it's a Driza Bone coat that's made in Australia for our stock horsemen.
Stone the Crows, I got me one of them
Loving you discovering these Aussie treasures! So much talent and seriously under the radar.
Have seen Farnham live nine times and Barnes three times. Yes they are this good live. No voice processing needed. Just brilliant.
Great Aussie legends
You should do the Cold chisel version of this song and the 2003 John farnham version when he is 53 and can still smash it big time.
Pure joy watching you discover these much loved songs and Australian artists. Tears in my eyes, happy ones.
This is actually a Jimmy Bares song from when he was the lead singer for Cold Chisel but these two have played off each other for years. As per the other comment about Jimmy being drunk,well he was drunk for a lot of his career and we never complained or even mentioned it back then because it didn’t matter he was awesome anyway. Love your channel keep up the good work and thanks for the great memories mate. Shooter.
He apologised later for phoning this performance in, without bothering to give it a lick of warmup or rehearsal. At least the rest of the time he was drunk he was still being professional about it.
It's not Jimmy's song Ian Moss wrote and performed it. Jimmy was backing vocals
He also did flame trees. Cold chisel actually had two lead singers Jimmy was just the main one
@@kylieboag785 No, Steve Prestwich (Cold Chisels drummer) wrote it.
@@kane29842 exactly!
This is originally one of Jimmy's song's and Jimmy and John are good mates
Venetta Fields, Lindsay Field (and usually Lisa Edwards).. Backing vox from Heaven..
There performance of amazing Grace is phenomenal
so much sheer vocal power in this performance. wowza 😍😍😍
I agree with you that John has excellent backup singers but also when you complimented them in this video Jimmy was also singing with them in the background.I’d recognise that voice anywhere
Oh good spot! I just listened again and you're right, l can hear him !!!
I heard him there as well.
I suspect that was the only warming up Jimmy did for that concert, based on comments above. :)
Listen, I love so many singers from all over the world but I’m a proud Aussie and massive John Farnham fan. We danced to Touch of Paradise as our wedding song.
Can I suggest listening to John's 1979 live performance of Bridge Over Troubled Water. His vocals are so beautiful.
Two Aussie legends having fun. Been around seems like forever. Love that you gave John's Backing singers and musicians praise. They are amazing and as far as I know they always perform with John as well as some solo songs. I saw this concert live years ago and it was breathtaking. Not just great singers but terrific Aussie blokes. Have a read about Jimmy's childhood, he wrote a book about it. Both of them have wonderful supportive wives and families. If you can find Mahalia Barnes Jimmy's Daughter often sings with him. She is fabulous love her singing im on fire. Another great Aussie singer is Kate Cebrano. We have so much talent in our country. Also love you highlighted Guy Sebastian. Just love Guy. He is fabulous. Thanks for your critiques I really enjoy watching them. Thankyou.
Loving your taste in our Aussie music ,keep diggin , plenty more to find
As an Aussie, I used to work in the music industry and I was lucky to work with both Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham they are amazing live and the nicest two men you can meet and I have worked with many bands from Australia and overseas including the USA and the UK
Best duet of all time love your reactions bro they are priceless

Magnificent.
I've really enjoyed all your Farnham and Barnes reactions. Great to have a singers insight
I have had the pleasure of seeing both of these magnificent performers in concert...John, I've seen 3 times and Jimmy, I've seen once but never both at the same time. Absolutely brilliant in concert both of them and I have very fond memories of all those concerts. Thank you for highlighting these Aussie icons. Take care and stay safe.
Loving the John Farnham reactions mate. You should definitely check out the live version of John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes 'when something is wrong with my baby'. It's by far the best live performance these two perform together, and up there with one of the best live performances you will see. 👍👍
The raincoat John is wearing is an Australian coat from a company called Drizabone. (Dry as a Bone) I think the coat he is wearing is the Heavy weight Oilskin Riding Coat. If you see it from the back it has a high split so you can ride horses and it keeps you warm and dry. It’s a legend and a lot of people wear it as a fashion accessory as well as a riding coat. A lot of horse and country people wear them. They are really great coats and wear well. They are an Aussie Icon. I hope you like the information. Hugs from Australia ❤️❤️🐨❤️❤️
Another fave of mine is John singing "playing to Win" when he's in his early 60's. Look up The Acoustic Chappell version (released 2011). Amazing!
Proud too be a AUSSIE..best singers ever ..I was at this concert AMAZING..you are a awesome man Thankyou..
