I read all the comments on all the youtube channels devoted to Farnsey - so full of love for the man. I can't say I've ever "loved" a singer before, (how can you love someone you've never met?), I've only loved certain of their tracks, but with John it's quite different - I've only been watching these youtube videos for about 12 months, and yes, I can say I absolutely adore John the person - very humble man , very grounded. I love every single track that I've watched, even Sadie - of its time, and we had similar here in the UK in that era. And the voice was there, Every now and then I come across a Farnsey song I haven't heard before - it's like all my birthdays and Christmases all at once. Watching Farnsey sing is giving me so much joy in my later years. The children are grown and flown with their own families now and I have time to really concentrate on my pleasures in life - every day is a Farnsey day. Fingers crossed for John's full recovery so that he has a long and happy life with his family and friends - these last 18 months have been a hard road for him. And if there are any unreleased recordings perhaps they might go onto production? Just think - some new John Farnham tracks..... Bliss. Feb'24. UK. E❤
i remember as a teenager, i sent John a message to sing never walk alone. I wonder if he read my comment and sang it all those years ago, you and Micheal Bolton. SOOO GOOODDDD
Farnham at the peak of his powers both physically and vocally. Superbly backed up by Lindsay Field, Vanetta Fields & Lisa Edwards, provided the greatest performance ever seen at Melbournes Carols By Candlelight.
This guy has given so much joy and entertainment to so many, and he is an Australian legend! One of the best live acts that you will ever see with a voice to match.
There are so many versions of "You'll never walk alone" around. This would have to be one of the best I've heard. It is sang with so much emotion,I believe every word of this song when John Farnham sings it.
😊Mike I think you see why John is so loved, he always call attention to the members of his band sharing the credit for the song with them but you know true magic when he combines his band with the orchestras massive job blending a rock band and symphony orchestra the the concert John comes sings he involves the crowd with positive energy they feed it back to him and the musicians and the energy flowing back and forth creates something that is pure joy and magic and as near to perfect heaven as is possible on this earth .I do not think you can find a true Aussie who does not hold him as a precious gift God gave to us.
Thinking of John & family. Hope he is doing well. Merry Christmas 2022. Hope next year is a better year for you all. You all will “Never Walk Alone”. AUSTRALIA LOVE YOU ❤ x
I still remember watching this on tv with my mother and a friend, and my baby in my belly, and it the most moving experience. It’s the most extraordinary performce I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen a lot. A true talent and a good soul.
Best 4 singers around, JF sings with so much power & so effortlessly. I usually have to watch his videos a couple of times as I am too busy listening to John sing & reading all the wonderful comments that have been left & might I add, unlike Elvis Presley, there are just as many male comments as female. Farnsey’s magic touched a number of people - male & female, young & old.
John Farnham, Just fucking Brilliant, always has been, always will be. The only thing that Australia own, is 20times better than us Kiwis Have. But I do believe he is now an honorary Kiwi, Love ya mate
We don't need any angels singing here. We've got our own. This was glorious, divine and gives me chills. Always loved John but I don't think I ever realised how great a singer he is until I've had all this spare time in lockdown to really appreciate how phenomenal he is.
I've never seen this before and I'm so upset that I haven't. I love this song so much and John Farnham gave me goosebumps. The only other time this happens is when the home stadium sing it. Legend.
@0:24 is my favourite part of this video. Especially when the girl in the white dress turns to look with admiration at where that amazing voice came from
I dont envy aussie much but my god this man makes me so jealous I dont live there. I have never seen him give less than 100% and his version of You'll never walk alone is pure magic. Wonderful genuine amazing singer and man god bless and merry christmas to you and your family
This was and will always be the best version of this classic song. John puts everything into every performance and this is no different, power, emotion and passion, just beautiful.
I've been listening to John Farnham for forty or so yrs and this performance is in his top 5. Thank-you belatedly for posting it. It did seem it was a little bit of a holy grail performance. But wow, how good does it still stand up after all these years. Just a nod from Lindsay Field and it confirms that John nailed it. Unbelievable performance from an amazing singer. Love him.
No particular order, Bridge Over Troubled Waters (you tube) Help any performance, MSO a highlight. His performance at 2003 arias of You're The Voice, Please Dont Ask Me (any performance) and his performance of Cool Change in the LRB concert from 1983 . That's 4, plus this version of You'll Never Walk Alone 1991 carols . But you can add any performance of his over a long career and it would be a grand final. Just a consummate performer! Thanks for asking. Also I would recomend any performance of Comic Conversations because he just nails the meaning of the song,. Sorry that's six ,but it's hard to choose.
john farnhams voice is so great he can sing anything what a talent fantastic singer a pom by birth but we claim him as an aussie great job john onya mate
@@gailskinner9903 Really Do you know his other Songs Like his most Popular iconic Anthem that was released in 1986/1987 Called "YOU'RE THE VOICE" ?? Or Some of his other songs like Burn for you , or HELP, or Please don't ask me, or Pressure Down or Two Strong Hearts???
I only just found this recording …what a wonderful reminder of what a great talent we Aussies almost take for granted. Not one but two incredible sons. With amazing backup singers!! Heart stopping!!!
6:55-7:20! Wow! Melts me John Farnham! Especially check out 7:10..wow! Johns' 20s, 30s- - 60s- really amazing singer. Thank you John Farnham. Wish I knew about this mans' talent 20 years ago. Only discovered this year 2018 for four months and I've gone crazy with his singing- astounding voice! I go back to my other music now and the level of singing is not the same ;-( Check out his rendition of Help (Whispering Jack, Age of Reason, Chain Reaction). I would have been on every concert- seen them all here thanks You tube - and his live concerts are amazing.. Heres a new fan living in Asia, Middle East and Europe! Big big fan x Thank you `Australia, thank you John. Thank you glennSuperdude
This is by far one of CBC's all time best performances by any artist. John and co just make it look so easy to sound so incredibly amazing. I wish this was released on iTunes / CD.
@@nigethejedimaster Are you good with internet programs at all? There’s still a few TH-cam music downloaders that rip music from any video you want. I used to use these programs as a teen to get free mp3 music for TAFE and Uni for my old players and iPods 😀
The angels found that voice floating around the universe and kept it safe until they found the right person to give it to. Feb'24. UK. E ❤
Never get sick of watching this. Miss seeing him so much.

One of the most glorious voices God ever created. Brilliant, John.

John is one of the world's best talents, the majority of Australians are aware of how talented he is!!!!!!
Brought tears to my eye's love you so much John you are my hero❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Unbelievable voice... simply the best singer in the world
The way he nails that last line.... The man's on a whole different level. He plays his own voice better than any musician can play their instrument
Farnham at the peak of his powers both physically and vocally. Superbly backed up by Lindsay Field, Vanetta Fields & Lisa Edwards, provided the greatest performance ever seen at Melbournes Carols By Candlelight.
Thankyou for adding these talented people as well
He and Judith Durham close to perfect voices and should be declared national treasures.
Watching Christmas night 2022 and wishing John could be well enough to sing just one more time. I just miss that man.
Simply the most gifted male singer in the world.can sing ANYTHING!
John's been around for so long that Aussies probably think this kind of talent is normal!! Unbelievable singer; one of the best ever...
Sure. When he wasn't announcing his retirement every two seconds.
callof duty he never said he was retiring. Just not doing long tours.
Linda Lee-Brown but Call of Duty’s story is so compelling. Do facts really matter anymore? lol
No! Not normal. He is the greatest singer on the planet. Greatings from Norway.
Mg I’m Aussie crying one because of this two our John sung it amazing 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
What a privilege to listen to this sublime version of You'll never walk alone. John Farnham is "THE voice"!!
Wow! Is there no song that this man can sing that doesn't raise goosebumps! What a voice!
This guy has given so much joy and entertainment to so many, and he is an Australian legend! One of the best live acts that you will ever see with a voice to match.
Agreed, Totally a gift, has a gift, and keeps on giving. Love this singer!
Well said,we dont know how lucky we are to have him all the best ;)
Such a powerful and beautiful voice - there is no one to surpass him. Am praying 🙏 for you John, get better soon.
Australia’s pride and joy
John Farnham. The best singer by far to come out of Australia.
Such respect
He's a national, make it world treasure.
The voice of an angel. We are truly blessed.
There are so many versions of "You'll never walk alone" around. This would have to be one of the best I've heard. It is sang with so much emotion,I believe every word of this song when John Farnham sings it.
i dare you to find anyone that sounds anything like or as good as Jonny Farnham!
Wow. What a voice. One of the best ever.
Simply the master, at the top of his craft.
Got to love venetta fields.
National Treasure enough said!
Nobody...nobody is better live than this man
What a voice!
Dear Lord please we love this man and need his Voice!

JF is brilliant a national treasure and would rate as one of the best vocalists in the world.
A brilliant singer and entertainer, plus a wonderful person!!
THE BEST EVER
Amazing voice, amazing singer♥️ could watch it over and over again!
Extraordinary
Lovely. He makes all look so easy
Thinking of John & family. Hope he is doing well. Merry Christmas 2022.
Hope next year is a better year for you all.
You all will “Never Walk Alone”.

Great song sung by a great guy thank you John

This is a Tenor vocal masterclass on how to sing classics with sincerity and technique

Stunning! It made the hairs on my arms stand up
Wow wow wow. I don’t think it gets any better than this.
Yep, one of the worlds great voices live, for me Australia's answer to Tom Jones, both true greats!
Phenomenal is the word that comes to mind. I’ve seen John live many times over the years, & this performance is up there with his absolute best.
John Farnham and Venetta Fields? Two of the best ever.
He nailed it, the only other person to nail it vocally was Elvis Presley, a hard act to follow.
ricky rick I think John sings it better . Sorry
Let's face it. John Farnham buries Elvis!
I don’t think you can say JF buries Elvis, both are different voices. JF is an exceptional talent but in his prime nobody touched Elvis.
I have watched this so many times I never get sick off it John has a amazing voice I wish he would sing it again
I have watched this so many times and never get tired of it. Wonderful singers, perfect version!
Now that is a Christmas carol
Unequivocally the best live performance of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' you'll ever hear.
Can not ever doubt that John Farnham has the purest voice! Just perfect! I love Elvis, but John! You are the voice!
Just surfing and saw this classic . These four people always inspired and I wish they would reunite just one more time for all of us
John Farnham, Just fucking Brilliant, always has been, always will be. The only thing that Australia own, is 20times better than us Kiwis Have. But I do believe he is now an honorary Kiwi, Love ya mate
John you are the best
Wow wow and wow. 😭😭😭😭😭

Sue Ohara……Australia, the best country in the world
Best rendition of a truly great song.ever. Thanks John Farnham
Yep. Us Aussies are sooo lucky 😁🇦🇺🐨
Yes John is amazing I have seen him live. He is one of our treasures
I was born in the very early 60's so I've watched n heard him from day one... my family loved music..
This was and will always be the best version of this classic song. John puts everything into every performance and this is no different, power, emotion and passion, just beautiful.
Love this man xxoo
Best version ever by anyone!

He makes this song so special ! This year is awful and I will listen to this again and again ! Thank you
So sad how patchy and flat Carols by Candlelight have become. Terrible sound controls for a start. Compared to these magic moments ❤
- it's tragic. 😢😢
fantastic voice and man
This man has one of the best voices I’ve ever heard! Wow
john farnhams voice is so great he can sing anything what a talent fantastic singer a pom by birth but we claim him as an aussie great job john onya mate

The power and quality of the high notes are incredible. Farnham was clearly the best in the business for many years.
Still watching in 2021, on the Eve of the Feast of the Three Kings
Just perfect
Thank you!
loved the song
Adore him! Favorite singer of all time!! Hi from Denver Colorado USA
Just a Question how much do you know about him ?? Like what songs of his do you know?? Because John is my all Time Favorite Singer Aswell

You should watch his concert Rwanda fund raising Its great
If he's not a national treasure Bruce Powell... I'll sign a petition with you to make him one. He's a legend.
I will sign Petion too. Absolute Gem.
This is by far one of CBC's all time best performances by any artist. John and co just make it look so easy to sound so incredibly amazing. I wish this was released on iTunes / CD.
He did record this on CD in 1987! Look up the album ‘Another side of John Farnham’ 😁
Merry Xmas 2021! 🎄

My favourite Aussie singer, have been lucky to see him sing live many times.
Lucky you👌🇭🇲
I watch this in the lead up to Christmas every year. Thought it was about time i commented. Man John Farnham can sing❤❤❤❤ CD
so my Christmas mojo is a little late coming for 2014..and here's one of the reasons - he's not on Carols anymore! just bring him back already!!!
I'd say 1992/93. As a Farnham fan since 86, I recognise his hair transitions over the years.
Bliss no equal :)
Superb, as each of his performances are.
LOVE IT - Amazingly timeless, need more live tours John!
snakeaway
Glenn, I know all of them! 😀 Sadie the cleaning lady! My younger brother also has a ton of his music due to me. I love John Farnham!
Sorry. I meant Travis. Another person was questioning me to. I promise I'm a true fan!
Great voice
What a beautiful rendition, Johnny! Wasn’t expecting that !
The Jimmy Barnes (yes that’s right) and his son David Campbell also did a great version of You’ll never walk alone as well!
Yeah not quite as good
had the pleasure of meeting John at Port Douglas i cooked his dinner of chilli mussels in an Urn around 2.5kg for his meal with his crew
I remember John singing at carols in the Dandenong park I knew then this kid was going somewhere
