Thanks again Ted! Wonderful reaction to my request. Thank you!!!!! 😊❤❤ Farnsey never ever phones it in, no matter what the age, he gives you a show! And I think you could hear clearly how his voice never faltered - he sounds just as good in the latter clip as the first despite the fact that they are nearly 30 years apart!! Gotta love The Voice! 😍🤩 Can't wait for the other double comparison video when you get to it in the list, hopefully the links came through okay, let me know if not 😉 Thanks again Ted and to all the lovely people in the chat. Take care everybody and I hope to catch you again soon🙏 🤗💗💗
Yeah it never stops being more and more powerful. I love the comparisons coz shows how good he really is and always was he just got better and better so thank you for recommending. Can u send the links through again please on here. I have them wrote down but want to make sure i get the right videos. Thank you again for watching and all the support you have given along the way ❤️❤️
@@BluntTedTalksMusicThe comparisons are great 😊❤ John is crazy. He is one of the rare ones that is for sure. Here are the links for When The War Is Over 1987 version: th-cam.com/video/lfWrXc5eN8g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=URRMUDbpIGCDiHgP 2003 version: th-cam.com/video/BekbvlLzMWc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fbfL-u7oy40SwiPb Hopefully they work okay. I will double check them amd edit if need be 😊 Fans have their favourites with this song, it is usually one of these two so should make most people happy!! 😅 Thanks Ted. Get some rest and take care of those crazy gerbils 😅❤❤
Thank you very much for posting again. I need a better system for saving links, i may move the list to the laptop. I look forward to this. Iv a few videos before this one to get through but shall be in the next week or so. Thank you for recommending again. You always seem to find the ones people love. Altho i think we all love every song from john lol Thank you i should be asleep already. Il be off shortly, the gerbils sleeping at the minute 🛌🐹 its about time to join them. Hope u have a great weekend ❤️❤️
@@BluntTedTalksMusic No worries Ted 😉 I hope you enjoy. I have another double in mind so will send that later on when you get a few more off the Farnsey list. Hope you are getting some rest. Catch you again soon 🙂🥱❤️❤️
What an appropriate song to hear at the moment! I hope the world is listening, as we do need to take the pressure down. John's voice is always strong ❤
Keytar is the name of the instrument David is playing, can't go wrong with John, whatever he sings and at whatever age, The song was written by Harry Bogdanovs, who also wrote ' Love to Shine'
Music and someone who is gifted like john is very magical. Iv always thought this with music as to most people it is after our loved ones the most important thing we have. It controls our emotions and creates and brings back memories. And john has that magic about him. Thank you for watching and for your comment ❤️
Thanks Annie and Ted. Great idea, great reaction, gratitude performer! My favourite parts were the jumping up to 'head butt' the camera in the 1st one and how, even at nearly 60 in the 2nd one he couldn't resist doing a bit of a jump!❤
Could see in the second one he was really wanting to let go like in the first one. He is a great performer. Always put on a great show. Thank you very much for watching and for your reply ❤️
The Keytar in the solo is a Yamaha KX5, which is a remote synthesizer keyboard. It has a pretty unique combination of a keyboard, programmable effects buttons, pitch slide, tone and volume levers and a breath control unit. David Hirschfelder used it the whole time he worked with John - both in LRB and on solo tours.
He didnt write it - it was on his Whispering Jack album 1986 - the highest selling one of all time in Oz by an Aussie. He has performed it at almost every concert - you can just see how much fun he has with it❤❤
I think that was the most fun iv seen him have on stage. He was fully loving the moment. In the second one you could see in his face he was in the moment. The crowd were enjoying it just as much. Great to see. Thank you again for watching ❤️❤️
Ok, comment on the first performance. You know it’s going to be great from the start for two main reasons, obviously no1 is because it’s John and 2 it was requested by Annie. What a performance, so much energy from everyone, especially John, jumping around like the energizer bunny. What a vocal showcase, that belting range was so powerful and endless, if you didn’t see it and hear it you wouldn’t believe it. Also all the other musicians on stage were all having so much fun, I love seeing great musicians enjoying what they do best and all of this band are top tier. And David on the Keytar and what ever that whistle he was blowing was awesome. I remember when this song first came out it was huge, even dj’s in the clubs and discos were playing it, what a time to be alive. And I don’t know whether John ever did any martial arts but he is such a ninja with that mic stand, so great to watch. Now I’ll watch no2.
Yeah i was impressed with the tricks he was doing with the mic stand and mic, he had a lot of energy and was having a lot of fun. I love seeing john live and also watching everybody else on stage. They all get their moment. I think going off another comment the thing he was blowing was connected to the keytar, apparently its also a wind instrument. His performances are just amazing to watch. Thank you for watching and also thank you for your comment ❤️
Dean!! Hey mate! How are you doing? 😄🤗 So nice to see you here, not surprising, listening to John just like the rest of us fans 😅 Thank you for the kind words. I really like this comparison. I think Farnsey really is good at any age, so I thought these two videos would show that nicely. Take it easy and hope to see you around 😉👍❤
John could sing the phone book and make it sound brilliant👏👏👏he also loved to throw the mic stand around..never hit anyone 😂😂😂 seen him about 5-6 times and come away in awe with his energy..also his singing..just 🤘🤘💞💞💞🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Huge amounts of amounts of energy its amazing to watch. He was fully in his element in this video. You are very lucky to of seen him live so many times i can imagine was an amazing night each time. Thank you for watching and for your comment ❤️❤️
Would be great to hear him sing again. Iv tead hes been singing around the house which makes me happy that hes at least able to do it for himself and hopefully at some point h is able to perform. Even if is just a one off or even just an appearance somewhere for a song it would be amazing. But understandable if not
Now the 2nd one. Obviously this wasn’t a great audio on this video it was still great to see. John being going on 70 years on here was still incredible, most vocalists that belt out the vocals so powerfully like John does, usually find they damage their voices (blow their voices out), but not John, even at this age he could still get up their in his vocal range which is incredible and still be able to belt it out like that. And being about 70 the physical energy has obviously slowed down but still an amazing performance and I can imagine just singing the way he does and moves under those conditions with the heat from the lights and everything would be so physically draining on the body. Still an outstanding and highly entertaining performance by all, and band still incredible. Thank for doing this one Ted and thanks Annie for the request.
Yes thats very true even tho not moving as much he was still putting in the same amount of energy, possibly more so. The way he is able to hit the notes is mindblowing, most artists the same age are no longer able to perform live and when they do they sound not great but not john. He just got stronger. Thank you again for watching and for your reply. I appreciate it massively ❤️
@ all good and thank you for supporting John and other Australian artist and allowing people who haven’t experienced the superiority of John Farnham to be amazed at what he is capable of. Looking forward to more from John here, especially the younger years and LRB. He did some great early stuff mainly covers but made them his own, like “bridge over troubled waters” and the Harry Nielsen classic “without you”(also covered very well by Mariah Carey”), just to name a couple.
No problem its been great reacting to his music. He is extremely talented and deserves to have his music shown to new generations. And those new generations are also embracing him and his music. Its brilliant to see. Im still at start of this journey but cant wait to hear more. His music is very addictive
Just about all the band including backing singers joined his band and never left. lol I loved this reaction comparing both performances. At nearly 70 he still has that magic....but would have been having some probs with his jaw etc due to that bloody growth which he though was just a bad tooth. I have just listened to the 1st chapter of his book on audio...and I think you'd love to hear him talk about his early life in London before he & his family migrated to Australia. Hope you're well Ted...loving this channel.
Is that his new book ? I may try get the audio book version of it. Im particularly interested in his early years in london for a future video so think i might buy it. Iv just read this is just before he was diagnosed and was his last performance which is very sad to read. Is very telling of the man he was that his band stayed with him all those years as well. An amazing talent, as are his band. Thanks for watching and the kind words on the channel. Appreciate people enjoying the videos
@@BluntTedTalksMusicHey Ted 😊 You definitely should get a copy of the book. I received mine in the post and am in the process of reading it. Really good so far. And if you get the audio book, John narrates it himself which is amazing 👍❤ Not sure who said this 2018 video was his last performance, it actually wasn't. This was part of the Red Hot Summer Tour in early 2018, his last performance was 2 years later in February 2020 for the charity event Fire Fight - the You're The Voice with Brian May and Olivia Newton-John is his last ever performance. I know you have it on your list so can't wait for that 😍🤩 Sorry, not trying to be a know it all, I just know you wanted to make sure you had facts right for further videos 😉❤❤
Thanks for the info i defo want the correct info for if i re share when discussing and also just to know. I cant wait as well for the version with brian may. I think its at the top of the list near enough now. Is a lot of songs on there lol. Lots to look forward to. I think after Christmas i will purchase it. Next month or so will be saving for the kids christmas. Its coming fast now ❤️❤️
Thank you for watching and joining the live chat ❤️ Just commented on an older comment to reply to you to say i saw your comment at the end but the chat clicked off about john and queen performing we will rock you. I didnt know that was a thing til you said and as a fan of both iv now added it to the list. Thank you again ❤️
Wonderful to see you in the chat Jojo 🥰 Take care of yourself and your beautiful family, and I am so very glad to hear your daughter is on the mend 🥰🤗💗💗
@AnnieD.1982 Thanks Annie. It was so good to catch a live chat with all you gorgeous ladies. It was short but so good...just what I needed. Your well wishes mean a lot to me. It nice to know people who get me. You and Debb in particular. It's something so special that I will always treasure...❤️❤️❤️
Thank you i cant wait for that one. Hoping theres more from them as well. Iv seen brian may has worked with john a bit. Thank you again for watching ❤️❤️
If you ever want a double in the same show. For thd expo 88 concert i thonknit was, they did the Beatles version of "help" bed running straight into his own version. For a side by side of the same song sung by the same artists in 2 different styles
Thank you for the idea iv got help on the list so could defo turn that into a double knowing they did 2 versions. Thanks for that mate and thanks also for watching
@@BluntTedTalksMusic That double of HELP was in the 1990 Chain Reaction Concert. It's fantastic. So is the start of that concert - John getting the audience to do the Mexican wave and singing Sadie. He's such an entertainer and artist. ♥️
Oh i reacted to that one already i remember him tricking the audience. Iv lost track lol. Did u have think about a video ? I was thinking maybe one of johns interviews if u know any that are not too long and could be good to react to ? If not i can have a look and pick one at random ❤️❤️
Just a fantastic reaction to our phenomenal John Farnham. Love these doubles @AnnieD 🤩 What about Love to Shine Expo 88 and was it 2018? - just ridiculously soooo good. Never ever did he let his fame go to his head. He remained the same - the most genuine, loving, kind, humble, funny icon I have ever had the pleasure of seeing perform. Thanks Ted and Annie ❤😂🎉
I am loving the doubles too Debb. More Farnsey, can't go wrong with that 😅❤ Great suggestion with Love to Shine. I gave the 2018 version to Ted previously to have a look at. I really love the Expo 88 version with the different beginning 😉😍 I also missed your message in the chat and saw it after, so didn't say anything at the time, but I am sorry for your loss 😓 Much love to you and your family. I hope you are doing okay 💗💗 Take care Debb 🤗🥰💗💗
Hi there thanks for joining the live chat and for your kind comment. John is one in a trillion as an artist and as a person. I cant think of a single other live performer who can do it as well as john and keep it up for so many years. Thank you again for watching and also let me know when uv had a think what you want the first members video to be. Im going bed shortly but will record tomorrow and get it edited and up over the weekend some point ❤️❤️
@@AnnieD.1982 Doing okay thanks. My god-daughter is almost 6 months pregnant and is being stressed out - she has also fostered a 3 year old boy who is step-child to one of her cousins who took his own life last year and has her own 2 year old girl. I'm going to Brisbane at the end of this week to babysit while they fly up to the funeral in Mackay. I'm going to try and organise some leave though, instead of trying to work while I'm down there. Back to John, I still think he was so awe inspiring and happy at the Expo 88 concert - he just had a glow all around him. It was funny when Paul said when he sung We're No Angels, that he was singing about his own kind 💖
@AussieDebb I am glad to hear you are okay. I hope your god-daughter will be too. It sounds like she has the world on her shoulders atm 😞 Safe travels to you this week. I hope everything will go okay 💗💗 Expo 88 is one of the best. Always good for a pick me up. John really was shining in that concert, so happy to perform 🥰 Take care Debb. Will be thinking of you this week. I will catch you again soon I am sure. Much love 🥰🫂💗💗

Information: The keyboard guitar is a called a Keytar. The mouthpiece from the Keytar is because that keyboard instrument is also a wind instrument. I thought maybe you might not know that, because others have asked in the past. 😀 Thanks for a great reaction. John always give so much more than 100% You also might like the song "All Our Sons and Daughters" by John Farnham.
Hi there thanks for the info. We were discussing it in the live chat and someone knew what was called be we disnt know about the mouthpiece so thanks for sharing. And thanks also for watching and your kind reply. I appreciate it loads ❤️
@@serenepeacefulrelaxingmusi3874Thanks for explaining more about the keytar.😊 I knew what it was called, but wasn't sure about the mouth piece so cheers for that! Also, awesome suggestion. Great song to rock out to 😉👍
I was so busy in the chat, I came back to watch the video again so I didn't miss anything😅 Thanks again for a great reaction. I hope you managed to wrangle the gerbils back under control Ted! 😄❤❤
😂they seem to come out every time i play john farnham. I think they are fans too 🐹 Thank you for watching both times. Was good to see you in the live chat. What time was it where you are when it went live ? Just trying to figure out upload times that work between uk and australia. Thank you again ❤️❤️
@BluntTedTalksMusic Hahaha!! How could they not be?! 😅 No worries. Was great to be able to join today. It was 10:30 am for me in SA. It would have been either 10 am or 11am for the others on the east coast. Worked out well 🙂❤️❤️
Thats good i felt bad last time was about 5am so think midnight is a good time in uk. Some are awake still but most viewers in australia or states so works well ❤️❤️
Been reading into the instrument this morning. Id seen before but never really knew what it was. If this video/song is anything to go by he deserved the awards
That was a cameo he hadn't sang for years This was for charity and he's last performance It was only a couple weeks later he was diagnosed with jaw cancer He complained to his wife about pain I his mouth John wasn't going to worry about it But his wife booked him in for check and rushed him in for operation If wasn't for he's wife insistants he probably wouldn't be here or the out come he got Unfortunately in that time he lost best friend manager Glen wheatley and only weeks later Oliver So very bad period for him and his family they lost to extremely close friend more like family and dealing with john's issue's It'll be the probably last time we'll hear him sing in public apparently sings around he's home regularly John follows he's boys music and attends them partly why he retired wantedcmore time with them I think John in 70s singing this others will correct anything I've got wrong as relying on memory Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍
Thank you for the comment and for watching. I didnt realise was just before he got poorly. Makes it more emotional knowing was the last time he performed live. Was a sad few years with the death of his friend olivia as well. Would be great to see him perform again but very understandable if not and does seem quite unlikely. I guess as you said with his sons he would just want to spend time with loved ones now. Thank you again for watching and for your reply. ❤️from the uk
@BluntTedTalksMusic Cheers all good like I said going from memory I bloody getting old so some haziness Yeah we where lucky someone in crowd recorded it Like his cover of led zeppelin black dog he used as warm up The sound guy was doing sound checks and though was amazing so taped it Otherwise no one would've know or heard and why no clip only music Again another great cover by him Just like his AC/ DC cover a long way to the top live with Melbourne symphony orchestra So you might like these as well
Its great when people capture moments like that and am so grateful for sites like this where they can be shown of to the world. Imagine how much great music may of been lost over the years before cameras and websites. We take it all for granted these days but am very thankful for them. Il add that onto the list than you iv not heard that one yet.am a led zep fan so would be great to hear johns version
@BluntTedTalksMusic Cheers mate I have no doubt you'll love it I'm led zeppelin fan as well We even have a band who calls themselves zep boys They play and sing all their songs and the band knows them praised them as well These guys are good but not a scratch on the original guy's They been travelling Australia for decade's singing their songs every year in my state Always packed out venue's normally big pubs of couple hundred and do shows for a week sold out So if led zeppelin came here they'd sell large stadium's out no problems
Its good to hear that the music is still being heard live but yeah nothing be as good as the real thing. Iv seen the bootleg beatles a few times and they are very good but they bot the beatles. Sadly its only way beatles be heard live tho now but yeah not the same
What about a Three for ‘ONE’ ONE (is the Loneliest Number) 1969 - th-cam.com/video/e06hBcBp8T8/w-d-xo.html - John aged 20 1987 - th-cam.com/video/FdNEKwMf1LQ/w-d-xo.html - at age 38 2017 - th-cam.com/video/lk7D5G944M8/w-d-xo.html - age 68
Hi there thanks for your comment and for watching. I can do the third one on here but would be hard to do the other 2 again as a reaction as seen them before but i could do them all together as a breakdown video and watch them all few times before recording and discuss them in detail. Would take bit more planning so could add them to the list and get it up in few weeks. Best for the algo leaving few weeks between plus have some others in between but can defo do. Thanks again for watching and for your suggestion ❤️
Thanks again Ted! Wonderful reaction to my request. Thank you!!!!! 😊❤❤

Thats very true it feelings like the world is at boiling point at the minute. Yeah his voice got better and better as time went on ❤️
He has allways been freakin amazing regardles of his age ❤

Unbelievable that John can still belt out a song like that at 69 years of age. His voice is still phenomenal.❤
Yeah hes 1 in a million. His voice grew with age. An amazing talent ❤️
Bloody brilliant ❤❤ John's body might have aged, but his voice never has❤❤
It just got stronger with age. Thanks for watching and for your reply ❤️❤️
John has always lifted people up. That, in many respects, is his magic.

The second performance was 51 years after his first number one hit. He would still be performing if it wasn't for his battle with mouth cancer.
Thats amazing his career went on for so long and would no doubt still be selling out huge crowds. So very sad he got mouth cancer bless him

@ no worries, always a totally enjoyable experience watching and listening to John, especially live.
Live he is mind blowing and get to see the skill levels he actually has. New artists cant even compete
Dean!! Hey mate! How are you doing? 😄🤗
So nice to see you here, not surprising, listening to John just like the rest of us fans 😅
Thank you for the kind words. I really like this comparison. I think Farnsey really is good at any age, so I thought these two videos would show that nicely.
Take it easy and hope to see you around 😉👍❤
@ all good Annie, keep the hits coming. Hope you’re doing well and take care.
As an Aussie,I just can't accept that John is of an older age. Not sure why,maybe because I am also .🎉❤
I get like that with lot of people iv seen my whole life. Is strange seeing them get older then realise i did as well 😔❤️
John could sing the phone book and make it sound brilliant👏👏👏he also loved to throw the mic stand around..never hit anyone 😂😂😂 seen him about 5-6 times and come away in awe with his energy..also his singing..just 🤘🤘💞💞💞🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

This was part of the Red Hot Summer Tour in early 2018, his last performance was 2 years later in February 2020 for the charity event Fire Fight - the You're The Voice with Brian May and Olivia Newton-John is his last ever performance. I know you have it on your list so can't wait for that 😍🤩 Sorry, not trying to be a know it all, I just know you wanted to make sure you had facts right for further videos 😉❤❤
Thanks for the info i defo want the correct info for if i re share when discussing and also just to know.
I cant wait as well for the version with brian may. I think its at the top of the list near enough now. Is a lot of songs on there lol. Lots to look forward to. I think after Christmas i will purchase it. Next month or so will be saving for the kids christmas. Its coming fast now ❤️❤️
Watching him gives me so much joy he is so captivating
I agree. His music always brightens a dark day
Thanks as always for your great reaction. I hope you're doing well Ted ❤
Thank you for watching and joining the live chat ❤️ Just commented on an older comment to reply to you to say i saw your comment at the end but the chat clicked off about john and queen performing we will rock you. I didnt know that was a thing til you said and as a fan of both iv now added it to the list. Thank you again ❤️
Wonderful to see you in the chat Jojo 🥰
Take care of yourself and your beautiful family, and I am so very glad to hear your daughter is on the mend 🥰🤗💗💗
@AnnieD.1982 Thanks Annie. It was so good to catch a live chat with all you gorgeous ladies. It was short but so good...just what I needed. Your well wishes mean a lot to me. It nice to know people who get me. You and Debb in particular. It's something so special that I will always treasure...❤️❤️❤️
@BluntTedTalksMusic ooh...awesome! I can't wait. Take care of yourself. I'm looking forward to it. 😊🥰
Thank you i cant wait for that one. Hoping theres more from them as well. Iv seen brian may has worked with john a bit. Thank you again for watching ❤️❤️
If you ever want a double in the same show. For thd expo 88 concert i thonknit was, they did the Beatles version of "help" bed running straight into his own version. For a side by side of the same song sung by the same artists in 2 different styles
Thank you for the idea iv got help on the list so could defo turn that into a double knowing they did 2 versions. Thanks for that mate and thanks also for watching
@@BluntTedTalksMusic That double of HELP was in the 1990 Chain Reaction Concert. It's fantastic. So is the start of that concert - John getting the audience to do the Mexican wave and singing Sadie. He's such an entertainer and artist. ♥️
Oh i reacted to that one already i remember him tricking the audience. Iv lost track lol. Did u have think about a video ? I was thinking maybe one of johns interviews if u know any that are not too long and could be good to react to ? If not i can have a look and pick one at random ❤️❤️
Just a fantastic reaction to our phenomenal John Farnham. Love these doubles @AnnieD 🤩 What about Love to Shine Expo 88 and was it 2018? - just ridiculously soooo good. Never ever did he let his fame go to his head. He remained the same - the most genuine, loving, kind, humble, funny icon I have ever had the pleasure of seeing perform. Thanks Ted and Annie ❤😂🎉
I am loving the doubles too Debb. More Farnsey, can't go wrong with that 😅❤
Great suggestion with Love to Shine. I gave the 2018 version to Ted previously to have a look at. I really love the Expo 88 version with the different beginning 😉😍
I also missed your message in the chat and saw it after, so didn't say anything at the time, but I am sorry for your loss 😓 Much love to you and your family. I hope you are doing okay 💗💗
Take care Debb 🤗🥰💗💗
Hi there thanks for joining the live chat and for your kind comment. John is one in a trillion as an artist and as a person. I cant think of a single other live performer who can do it as well as john and keep it up for so many years. Thank you again for watching and also let me know when uv had a think what you want the first members video to be. Im going bed shortly but will record tomorrow and get it edited and up over the weekend some point ❤️❤️
@@AnnieD.1982 Doing okay thanks. My god-daughter is almost 6 months pregnant and is being stressed out - she has also fostered a 3 year old boy who is step-child to one of her cousins who took his own life last year and has her own 2 year old girl. I'm going to Brisbane at the end of this week to babysit while they fly up to the funeral in Mackay. I'm going to try and organise some leave though, instead of trying to work while I'm down there. Back to John, I still think he was so awe inspiring and happy at the Expo 88 concert - he just had a glow all around him. It was funny when Paul said when he sung We're No Angels, that he was singing about his own kind 💖
Iv had a few recommendations from the expo concert now. 2 versions of help apparently are to be checked out as well ❤️❤️
@AussieDebb I am glad to hear you are okay. I hope your god-daughter will be too. It sounds like she has the world on her shoulders atm 😞
Safe travels to you this week. I hope everything will go okay 💗💗
Expo 88 is one of the best. Always good for a pick me up. John really was shining in that concert, so happy to perform 🥰
Take care Debb. Will be thinking of you this week. I will catch you again soon I am sure. Much love 🥰🫂💗💗

Information: The keyboard guitar is a called a Keytar. The mouthpiece from the Keytar is because that keyboard instrument is also a wind instrument. I thought maybe you might not know that, because others have asked in the past. 😀
Thanks for a great reaction. John always give so much more than 100% You also might like the song "All Our Sons and Daughters" by John Farnham.
Hi there thanks for the info. We were discussing it in the live chat and someone knew what was called be we disnt know about the mouthpiece so thanks for sharing.
And thanks also for watching and your kind reply. I appreciate it loads ❤️
also i will add that song to the list thankyou. always welcome recommendations ❤️
@@serenepeacefulrelaxingmusi3874Thanks for explaining more about the keytar.😊 I knew what it was called, but wasn't sure about the mouth piece so cheers for that!
Also, awesome suggestion. Great song to rock out to 😉👍
My other channel
Ted ❤❤
Please subscribe ❤️❤️
I was so busy in the chat, I came back to watch the video again so I didn't miss anything😅 Thanks again for a great reaction.
I hope you managed to wrangle the gerbils back under control Ted! 😄❤❤
😂they seem to come out every time i play john farnham. I think they are fans too 🐹
Thank you for watching both times. Was good to see you in the live chat. What time was it where you are when it went live ? Just trying to figure out upload times that work between uk and australia. Thank you again ❤️❤️
@BluntTedTalksMusic Hahaha!! How could they not be?! 😅
No worries. Was great to be able to join today. It was 10:30 am for me in SA. It would have been either 10 am or 11am for the others on the east coast. Worked out well 🙂❤️❤️
Thats good i felt bad last time was about 5am so think midnight is a good time in uk. Some are awake still but most viewers in australia or states so works well ❤️❤️
@@BluntTedTalksMusic No worries. Yeah, it was about 5:15 am last time so a bit early 😄
Thanks Ted!! 🙂❤️❤️
Sometimes my brain stops working lol. I think sleeping 2-3 hours a night, my job and making videos is making me stupid when i stop for a moment 😂❤️❤️
The whole band has a ball too
Yeah john lets them all shine so they all have great fun and shows in the performance. Can see the bond they all have
That was a keytar. David Herschfelder went into composing for movies etc, won awards.
Been reading into the instrument this morning. Id seen before but never really knew what it was. If this video/song is anything to go by he deserved the awards
That was a cameo he hadn't sang for years
This was for charity and he's last performance
It was only a couple weeks later he was diagnosed with jaw cancer
He complained to his wife about pain I his mouth
John wasn't going to worry about it
But his wife booked him in for check and rushed him in for operation
If wasn't for he's wife insistants he probably wouldn't be here or the out come he got
Unfortunately in that time he lost best friend manager Glen wheatley and only weeks later Oliver
So very bad period for him and his family they lost to extremely close friend more like family and dealing with john's issue's
It'll be the probably last time we'll hear him sing in public apparently sings around he's home regularly
John follows he's boys music and attends them partly why he retired wantedcmore time with them
I think John in 70s singing this others will correct anything I've got wrong as relying on memory
Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍
Thank you for the comment and for watching. I didnt realise was just before he got poorly. Makes it more emotional knowing was the last time he performed live. Was a sad few years with the death of his friend olivia as well. Would be great to see him perform again but very understandable if not and does seem quite unlikely. I guess as you said with his sons he would just want to spend time with loved ones now.
Thank you again for watching and for your reply. ❤️from the uk
@BluntTedTalksMusic Cheers all good like I said going from memory
I bloody getting old so some haziness
Yeah we where lucky someone in crowd recorded it
Like his cover of led zeppelin black dog he used as warm up
The sound guy was doing sound checks and though was amazing so taped it
Otherwise no one would've know or heard and why no clip only music
Again another great cover by him
Just like his AC/ DC cover a long way to the top live with Melbourne symphony orchestra
So you might like these as well
Its great when people capture moments like that and am so grateful for sites like this where they can be shown of to the world. Imagine how much great music may of been lost over the years before cameras and websites. We take it all for granted these days but am very thankful for them. Il add that onto the list than you iv not heard that one yet.am a led zep fan so would be great to hear johns version
@BluntTedTalksMusic Cheers mate
I have no doubt you'll love it I'm led zeppelin fan as well
We even have a band who calls themselves zep boys
They play and sing all their songs and the band knows them praised them as well
These guys are good but not a scratch on the original guy's
They been travelling Australia for decade's singing their songs every year in my state
Always packed out venue's normally big pubs of couple hundred and do shows for a week sold out
So if led zeppelin came here they'd sell large stadium's out no problems
Its good to hear that the music is still being heard live but yeah nothing be as good as the real thing. Iv seen the bootleg beatles a few times and they are very good but they bot the beatles. Sadly its only way beatles be heard live tho now but yeah not the same
What about a Three for ‘ONE’
ONE (is the Loneliest Number)
1969 - th-cam.com/video/e06hBcBp8T8/w-d-xo.html - John aged 20
1987 - th-cam.com/video/FdNEKwMf1LQ/w-d-xo.html - at age 38
2017 - th-cam.com/video/lk7D5G944M8/w-d-xo.html - age 68
Hi there thanks for your comment and for watching. I can do the third one on here but would be hard to do the other 2 again as a reaction as seen them before but i could do them all together as a breakdown video and watch them all few times before recording and discuss them in detail. Would take bit more planning so could add them to the list and get it up in few weeks. Best for the algo leaving few weeks between plus have some others in between but can defo do. Thanks again for watching and for your suggestion ❤️
@@BluntTedTalksMusic so you did, I forgot LOL
Its ok lol. Sometimes i forget what i had for breakfast lol. Yesterday i forgot how to put on a belt for a minute 😔😂❤️
