His vocals on "Teenage Wildlife" are among of his very best - ever.

1am Tuesday just finished getting my arse handed to me by all 3 of my boys on Strummers racing simulator 😵‍💫🥴😬 . Anyway the reason I'm ranting at ya is because you're mate The Boss is on the radio MERRY CHRISTMAS BABY. AND I HOPE EVERYONE HAS ONE ✌️❤️👍

His last touring band had 2 or 3 CMA or ACM guitarist and piano players, as well as a if not the top drummer in Nashville (per Bob) the 2 solos were different guys! 1st was long time Silver Bullett Craig Frost,the 2nd was Jim "Moose" Brown (ACM) and it was great. If you haven't heard it "American Storm" from the "Like a Rock" album is a driving rocker like this one. It had a cool video - like a movie with several actors. A deep, deep dive is a a song from his 1st album with the tirle "2+2+=?" Maybe the rawest Viet Nam era antiwar song I have ever heard, but in the Bob Seger mold - great storytelling and drives the point home. We left Viet Nam my freshman year in high school, so while I did experience it as a kid, hearing Bob sing "2+2=?" it's like being an 18 year old kid in 1967

Whole album recorded at home on a 4 track at home. Guitar and harmonica. Personal and heartfelt by a musician figuring out who he was and taking risks, my favourite Springsteen album by a distance. Thanks for playing

This performance if You'll Never Walk Alone is my favourite version ever sung of this song. And one of my top favourites from John himself. He sings with such passion that you feel every word. He has sung this song at quite a few charity events now. Which is another one of John's virtues. He is one of the first to put up his hand for a charity event. From supporting this event for deaf children or telethons to raise funds for other childrens charities or fund raisers for fire and flood victims as well as a concert and album sales to raise funds for kids in Rwanda, to travelling to war torn countries to entertain our troops who can't get home for christmas. Goes a long way to show the humanity that oozes from his very pores. No wonder we love him so much. John is not just a good singer, he is one of the worlds most passionate humanitarians who never seeks acknowledgement for what he does. People all over the world acknowledged the likes of Bob Geldoff's and Band Aid for the one off humanitarian song And so this is Christmas and even Michael Jackson's We are the World. And yet the world does not even know someone like John Farnham, who has been giving his time and energy to charity, ever since he began as a teenager, even exists. He doesn't need that acknowledgesment, but wouldnt it be nice to see his name up there. ❤❤❤

Was gonna skip the icky Xmassy bit of Mary's Boy Child, but he drew me in darnit, and my inner Grinch was defeated. This is the true power of Farnsey in action! 😂😂

look up the video where he has actors from that move doing backup vocals live!

Michael brown wrote that beautiful walk away Renee, with two others who were not band mates. He was the keyboard player. His father was very involved in Michael’s life and also the band. Just walk away Renee is such a beautiful timeless piece. Steve Martin caro has such a talented voice. Michael and Steve came from musical families. Finn the last original band mate recently passed away

Check out i started a joke, i cant see nobody from the midnight special and ummm everything

Robin❤my fave singer ever. This song touches my soul. The beegees my fave. Their music is gorgeous.

9I would have the long and winding (Naked) road at top 15 other than that good list.

You come up in my algorithm and I got to hear my 2nd song ever (I Can Only Disappoint You) from Mansun. Thank you and have to hear more 🙂

I couldn't think of a less understanding of working class life in the UK 1975 - 1985 then these two lower middle class American clowns... Strummer is expecting a roots rock rebel stance but realises that black people like other things, they like love songs etc. ie: he was wrong about black people are all political rebels, they want fun, love etc. Strummer is admitting his white, liberal stance is not shared nor should it be as it is patronising. The honesty is striking and a true lesson in being humble...

TKK is one of my favorite bands and I've seen them live a half dozen times over the last 20 years. Buzz and Groovie are actually delightful guys in person and online, and their music is a lot of fun. They don't take themselves all that seriously.

Prince. Sign o the times no contest

Denied US release as rubbish, reggae influenced tracked regarded as 'bowie played backwards' It's no accident that the genre skipping but conforming Album London Calling is regarded as great because in many ways it's old fashioned or contemporary for US ears. Compare to PIL, Gang of Four etc

The judge is the Mom's dad...letting her boy off the hook.

Totally agree, I remember hearing the song in London way before Annie Lennox did her version. It stopped me in my tracks and is nothing short of a masterpiece. I sure hope 'The Lover Speaks' got paid their royalties for the song, they seem to have vanished from the music scene today.

she wrote most of the time for other artists to record

'Carols By Candlelight' is a HUGE event in Melbourne at the Sidney Myer music bowl and park next to the Botanic Garden on Christmas Eve. I 'tune in' to my long deceased parents at this time as it was a family tradition to watch it together on television, as we lived in the country-side. There are many performers, a big amalgamated choir and an orchestra. Everybody joins in at the end of the night to sing 'The Hallelujah Chorus' which gives one the tingles. Looking out from the stage is a vista of lighted candles which the thousands of people in the audience wave in the air. Light, Love and Goodwill to all -- which when truly actioned by people in the world can lead to eventual peace on Earth -- at this special, spiritual time of the year.

1:10 the Devision bell was 1994, the album they released in 2014 is actually the endless river

Love this performance and carols by candlelight. John’s voice is just something else. You have to check out a younger John Farnham performing “silent night” at Carols by candlelight another phenomenal performance

Gotye is a musical genius!

Happy Gravy Day 😀

A great reaction😊. It made me wonder when our carols by candlelight started in Melbourne as I remember watching it every Christmas Eve since childhood. * Started 1938 - Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia - Founder, Norman Banks. Raises funds for Vision Australia's children's services.

I never miss the iconic Carols By Candlelight every Christmas Eve here in Melbourne. I'm usually making the Pavlova and preparing a festive table for the Christmas Day celebrations. What could be a more perfectly timed reaction than this amazing performance by John Farnham. Merry Christmas from Australia.❤

The whole first side or 5 songs of this are TOP DRAWER. Powerhouse stuff. If it's pop it's skewed and it's integrated use of time sigs in Up The Hill blew me away then and still blow me away today

GREAT analysis and commentary!!! My favorite on this album is probably Spreading the Disease...the music epic! The words, the meaning how it just flows freaking stellar!!! The whole album is just a masterpiece! Actually going to see Geoff Tate in Milwaukee on April 19, 2025. Its billed as singing Operation Mindcrime in its entirety for the last time. Its a pretty big tour, including Europe. Cant wait 🤟 Thanks for this video ❤

This is a beautiful performance. It's always lovely to hear it, and I enjoyed your reaction. Thankyou ❤

Wonderful reaction to an amazing performance from John and his crew. This always finds me holding my breath in awe. Thankyou

J ai vu les suprem a la locomotive a patis mais il ni a pas photo vanilla c est superieur❤❤

Love this. I notice you have Bob Dylan on your wall. He wrote "Lay, lady lay" about BARBRA!!!!

Thankyou for your wonderful reaction. John makes even a Christmas carol sound awesome. I've always liked You'll never walk alone, but when John sings it, he adds something to it that gives me goosebumps. ❤❤

Pretty Ballarina! I think what was missing in the story is Mike Brown was a minor when this was recorded at his step-dad's studio and the step-dad didn't approve of some of the members.

Bless KZbin we are able to watch this over and over. Moving rendition of Youll never walk alone❤.

John's band where never really just his band, they were his family. Most of them came and never left. John is an entertainer...one never just 'hears' his song they 'feel' it. His passion and emotion one can believe every word. Thanks for a wonderful Reaction my friend. Merry Christmas from Australia

The guitar works..... No one had ever played guitars like that. EVen the guitars on Don't Think Twice are unique Try out Asoalin too. These guys came up with guitar styles that were not of this world> No folk groups could ever create those sounds even after either. I for one have learned this style and have many examples of even self-written tunes with this style of guitar works. on you tube Ron Delby

Palace music fucking AWESOME

I love it 👍 With BDB the Best Album the Group had done !!! School‘s out is overproduced and the Guitars were very withdrawn (except on the Titeltrack) ! Killer is Great but Love it to Death is a bit dusty for todays standards !

Understated and beautiful

There's nothing anti Christian about it at all in fact quite the opposite .

Mediterraneo is easily one of the best crafted songs lyrically ever. It’s magnificent. I speak fluent spanish so thankfully can really appreciate it. I also lived for a time on the mediterranean which is the most magical place on earth: from Algeciras to Istanbul as the song says.

1991. He had never sang with this orchestra before this performance. He had a single rehearsal with a backing track at 5pm, a few hours before going on stage.

Thank you for your lovely reaction . It is pure joy listening to John. John sings Silent Night in 1982 CBC when he was with LittleRiver Band. It is very moving. kzbin.info/www/bejne/foLYp6GefJxlic0si=AUVKwDk3-7XISltm 🎄🫶🇦🇺✌️

I loved your great reaction. This performance was just so stunning. I constantly play John's music every day, and his Christmas songs will definitely be blasting through my house on Christmas day. This rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone is simply amazing!!!! I'll be listening to it at least half a dozen times throughout Christmas day and night. I get goosebumps every time I hear it. Our Farnsey puts so much feeling into this. He is the goat!!

love this, I have been listening to it all month, along with Silent Night and John and Olivia's 'Friends for Christmas' album and any of Johns other Christmas songs, whatever I can find, love them all, Merry Christmas to all.

This is gorgeous. John is the best with Lindsay, Vanetta, and Lisa. I listen to it every day leading up to Christmas. Thanks Shawn ❤ Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎄🧑‍🎄

Love our boy! The GOAT

I got a nasty cackle out of “you know, Pat the Bunny isn’t writing anything light”
