(DTN Reacts) John Farnham - Help (LIVE with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra) | INCREDIBLE!

[@Deb_Bee_Thriver]

Thank you for your great reaction and appreciation of our phenomenal Aussie treasure, John Farnham! I think you can definitely understand why, like so many Australians, I have loved him for 50+ years, along with his awesome band of talented musicians. Please watch many more of Johns 6 decades of hit songs. There are heaps! ...Get well soon John. Sending all my love, light and well wishes. xo Deb

Eventually, everyone jumps on the Farnham bandwagon. One by one, the world is discovering him!! ❤

[@kingdomsupes1]

That's what the doctor ordered 😁

[@bodybalanceU2]

great interpretation of the beatles song "help" - so impressed was tina turner she also sang JF's version of the song

[@micheleallen]

John has said that he sings every song as if it will be the last time he gets to sing it. He loves singing and gives love to everyone including his band and the audience. That is why we love him. Please react to You’re the Voice or Age of Reason from the same concert with the orchestra.

[@shaz464]

That’s a Beatles song. I don’t usually like anyone messing with a Beatles song but I make an exception with John.

[@tomwareham7944]

You should take the time to listen to this whole concert , it was an experience anyone privileged to attend will never forget , John's concerts were more than an event they were a happening , everyone in the building was having the best night of their lives the band the backup singers the Symphony orchestra the audience and of course John ,who gave 110% ,he is truly an Australian national treasure .

[@alimac1469]

Going to a John concert is kind of like going home. There is so much love flowing. We are so lucky to have had 50 years of his singing. He is currently recovering from mouth cancer treatment including jaw reconstruction, so add your love to his recovery ❤❤❤

[@julie68au]

love your reaction .... i hope Mr Farnham sees this too . WE LOVE YOU JOHN XOXO

[@mrmockatoo6786]

You look as happy as Ray Charles behind a keyboard. Spread the joy.

[@GENX.80SGIRL]

We are so lucky to have grown up with john's music, he is one of the BEST singers/performers in the entire world.. You should react to more of john's music but always do live performances... He also has a documentary about his life coming out next month (Australia only unfortunately) but check out the trailer "john farnham: finding the voice" Great reaction again Neal.. we love you ❤❤

[@stevegraham3817]

This concert was advertised as John and his Big Band in typical Aussie understatement, it's a 100+ piece orchestra for crying out loud. lol A couple of songs worth checking have been mentioned below, plus these are worth a look also. The reason you haven't heard of him is because the US music industry is a closed little club. When John Farnham went to the US they didn't know which genre to put him in so his US promotions manager got him a couple of gigs in a little jazz club, where the MC introduced him as Jack Phantom. Couldn't even be bothered getting his name correct, so being a bit disheartened he wandered home to concentrate on his loyal fan base. The experience did give him inspiration to write a couple of good songs about missing his family, like this one. -Burn For You.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoGzp4Kehdije6M -Angels.. Notice how he holds the mike below his chest, both mikes are a metre away, which he does all the time to not drown out the other singers. John and Lisa Edwards, a top singer in her own right, and one of John's back up singers for 20+ years. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5CVf32Ifsl1hZo -Please Don't Ask Me.. This one with Olivia Newton John, who we have recently lost. John has also had major cancer surgery including removal of part of his jaw and we may not hear him sing again. So let's enjoy this one as well.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKa5kKeQhKmZgZo -When Something Is Wrong With My Baby.... And even when he is singing with one of the most powerful voices on the planet, Jimmy Barnes, he still put the mike away from his face and closer to Jonny Diesel on guitar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4bCk3aZnamKfJY -When The War Is Over… Possibly one of his greatest vocals. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ope6o4uZasqBbsk -Or is the greatest. Gethsemane.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWbaoICQqaifnqs

[@cinemaipswich4636]

There is a John Farnham Movie/Documentary (Finding the Voice), about to be released in Cinemas across Australia. Let us hope John's many fans all around the world can see it soon.

[@lindsaypolkinghorne22]

This was his closing song after a 2.5 hour concert

[@devilsadvocate2548]

Contrary to popular belief, it wasn't the closing song of this particular recorded concert. This was the closing song of this particular encore. You see him on the DVD going backstage after singing this song and listening to the cheers of the crowd. After the crowd and some of the orchestra started cheering 'Sadie, Sadie', he came back on stage again for another encore and sang Sadie and finished with 'It's a Long Way to the Top (if you want to Rock and Roll)'. Quite a few people think it was the last song though! :-)

[@heatherwardell2501]

John Farnham also teams up with Jimmy Barnes, Farnsey and Barnsey, to sing If Something is Wrong with my Baby, and it's also phenomenal. Best duo ever!

[@jenniferharrison8915]

Epic! 👍💗🤗💕

[@SuzyTrippa]

His already done it! 🙄

[@judileeming1589]

John is such a humble talented man. He is loved by everyone that hears him. He actually turned down Queen who asked him to front them after Freddy passed away and has sung with many international stars. We simply ❤️ him.

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Yep he is absolutely phenomenal, well said

[@dododoodoodo5400]

See here u r again lol

[@johninguanti2051]

Listen to this song 3 to 5 times a week, and still not tired of it. It actually, brings me to tears thinking about John health 😢

[@davecharm]

Thank you for playing that!! ❤!! John is a Superstar over here and so very humble with it!!

[@davidcruse6589]

You now need to watch his led zeppelin cover A long way to.the top With Melbourne sympathy orchestra See his power and watch how much orchestra and conductor.having Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍

[@blueenglishstaffybreeder6956]

Brother your reactions are genuine and I love your appreciation for quality when you hear it

[@jenniferharrison8915]

Same concert - "Your The Voice" with Scottish bagpipes, check it out! John Farnham is technically perfect, has a three octave range, and was absolutely committed to each performance, even on call! 💕🤗👏

[@jemxs]

Nice reaction Neal, Farnsey is brilliant!

[@nicod4660]

Another huge cheers for this request hun, I'll give ya a rest after 4 in a row lol. Luv your reactions big time, cheers from Oz

[@Bellas1717]

pitch + power + passion = perfection

[@narellesmith7932]

Love it ❤

[@karenstrong8887]

The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra love playing for John. That song was encore after 2 hours of that voice. He always tells us to be careful going home. No, when John was young, that was when it was hard for him. Now he is loved.

[@jodieanndumpleton3180]

We love Farnsy

[@auntymoni8951]

I loved your reaction to this video, you looked so happy. So glad you enjoyed as much as we do❤

[@RebeccaVandy-oo3op]

This whole concert is excellent. This song was part of the encore. He had already sung his heart out for two hours before doing "Help" I love the man. He's one of a kind. ❤

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

John always gave 110% in his concerts. That is why he is so loved.

[@LouieLouie917]

That 100watt smile, love it

[@MargaretGuppy]

I Hope you aren't closing your eyes, you will miss so much!

[@purplewookie8284]

It's probably already been posted but I'm going to reiterate, this is a Beatles song written by John Lennon and when John Lennon heard this version by John Farnham he said, " this is the way I intended the song to sound"

[@kerry-anne39]

John Farnham brilliant

[@nikkil2580]

Love your reactions to John ❤❤❤

[@leandabee]

Oh wow, you are doing music ones! Very cool 👌, especially our Johnny boy. You have just watched quality entertainment ❤

[@janetcorbett356]

[@troy3886]

Dude, were you fighting back a reptilian takeover of yourself. I was worried🤣

[@080gina080]

Your smile as you react is gorgeous mate! Can't help smiling with you 😁 You bring so much positivity.

[@slavaukraini404]

The music industry dumped him. He got one break and became a mega star.

[@deanweedon]
