What I found the best about this entire song was that Brian was only there to play. It shows his character that he was there to play with Farnsy and co. and that he didn't want the spotlight focused on him, especially when the firies came on. Brian is a worldly treasure and must be kept for all people to have a high standard of what it is to be a good, humble man.

John Farnham is one of those very rare singers that can, despite their age, still belt out a tune and makes it sound as good as when it was first released. Together with one of the best guitarists on the planet, make this such a great moment.

[@JadeValour]

A real treasure - this is fabulous! Right after this concert, Queen & Adam came to New Zealand and I saw them in Wellington. I wish that John Farnham had come with them!🤩

[@aureliedo4581]

I was there, sitting in the audience, totally amazed by what I was witnessing: the whole stadium was standing, dancing and singing as ONE. ❤ It doesn't fully show on the cameras. It was unbelievably intense with good vibes, energy and emotions. A wonderful way of ending this exceptional concert, paying tribute to the firefighters, volunteers and communities' unity and resilience to fight the bushfires. ❤🌱

[@walover165]

The energy was truly incredible. I've never felt anything like it.

[@jessicabrighton8733]

[@triptoroy]

One of the reasons why we don't have a successful revolution now is because we don't have songs like this anymore. The stratospheric original of John Farnham is impossible to touch, God himself created Brian May with his arm and leg 😜 and what you get now is autotuned gibber jabber in the name of music with a dozen moving their bottoms as if the Baboons got a bunch of flies sitting on their butts.

I worked 10 yrs at Adelaide Entertainment Centre, working at concerts such as Foo Fighters, Eagles, Pink, Beyonce etc. John Farnham's shows were always some of the best. He always put in 100% night after night, sung with members of the crowd, and because his stage was 'in the round', he packed in more audience than most artists. He had the bare minimum stage, just him and his band, but wow....he puts on one hell of a show! The guy is an absolute Aussie legend....and world class!

I've been following this song since I was little in its original version, and all the decades in a row in which John Farnham brought us the message again in the most important moments of our current history... I hope there's still time for him to come to my country, Brazil, sing in the name of a great campaign to protect indigenous people in the Amazon forest, and even for the forest itself... 🙁🇧🇷 please.

[@davemort9166]

[@C21L01]

@@soeinhenk Sadly, the only time our Emergency Services get any recognition like the above is during and shortly after a massive natural disaster. This concert was held to raise funds to help rebuild what was lost in the horrendous Bushfires we had in 2019-2020. At the time of this concert, most of New South Wales was gone with huge chunks of every other state and both territories also gone, lost to the ravages of fire. In the reaches of the major cities, our firefighters are paid staff but outside of those areas, it’s all volunteers who give up their time and risk their lives to save other lives and property. They leave their paid jobs 98% of the time to go and fight against bushfires such as those that destroyed 60% of Australia during that time. I’m Australian by birth - lived here ALL my life and I have NEVER seen New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania, South Australia, Northern Territory and Western Australia all on fire at the exact same time before. 🥺

He looks he is pain and exhausted. Thank God that he is still us in 2023 ❤😊 Let's hope he can come out for that One Last Concert soon. All the best to you and your family. I certainly shed a tear or two when saw The John Farnham Story at the cinema earlier this year; l'm shedding tears and wiping my nose as l type this story. I was a chauffeur driver for Paul Dainty's family (thanks Zelko - ALR) when you did a concert at Rod Laver Arena. Other drivers were talking with your man George, when you rushed out to jump into his car and it stalked and stopped 😂 We all yelled out, laughing "Do you need a car, Mr. Farnham" Not happy George 😊😊 Here endeth the lesson - Monty Python quote

Cheeky little shred at the end by Brian May could have gone unnoticed. This was epic and the pride dad smile on JF’s face during it was beautiful. You’ve been part of my whole life, John. I can’t remember not ever knowing who you are. From seeing you live many times, to singing with the Welsh King on Hey Hey it’s Saturday! I’ve been blessed that my childhood and adult life had you in it. Blessings to you and your family, and thank you.

[@janecoventry2051]

Shut your eyes and John could be singing in the late 80s - early 90s, not early 2020. Whispering Jack came out the year I was born. He is singing it in the original key - he is 70+. Any singer out there would kill to be able to sing like this, and LIVE. It is astounding his voice has the clarity and range still. I have recently delved into his back catalogue thanks to an American guy (Nick) who reacts to a lot of his songs. John is sublime live. He cannot be beaten.

This was, next to Queen + Adam Lambert's set, the greatest moment of the night. Farnsey is always acknowledged as The Voice, the greatest singer Australia has ever produced. So we were already excited. And we knew what song he would finish with, so we were even more excited. And then when that shot of Brian May flashed up on the screen, we all went into overdrive. John Farnham doing You're the Voice with Brian May?! It was too much! We were screaming. People were having freakouts. OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! THEY'RE DOING IT OH MY GOD! the guys next to me were screaming. And this moment was so cathartic, so...in that moment, I swear I found a new plane of existence. Nothing hurt. Pain didn't exist here.

[@mehrinalmassi3471]

Everyone on this stage is a legend in my eyes. Giving their time and talent to such an important cause. Yet the sheer class of John shines through as he makes the effort to welcome each person as they join in. He recognises everyone, from the gesture that he makes towards Mitch as he takes the lead and the smile that he gives him once he’s finished, to rocking out with Brian, waving at a member of the crowd, kissing Liv when she comes out and pointing to the firies when they file in at the end. He connects with everyone. All while signalling to the band and of course singing the song! A born performer, true and lasting talent and most importantly a brilliant human being!

[@possumsnest]

Such a beautiful, humble person.

[@glennplumb2313]

When most famous songwriters hear another translate their song and release it they take legal action to either stop the release or receive royalties for any profit made but when John heard the full Mitch Tambo version he not only gave him his blessing he made a collaboration which has brought us closer as a nation, When you hear the story of Johns wife driving to the record studio hoping they would like his album Whispering Jack he had mortgaged he’s house he was in the fetul position on passenger floor if they say no he is bankrupt & homeless even though he’s famous, He’s a National icon only just starting to get recognised globally for he’s brilliant voice which is unmatched and when he was young it was effortless he never struggled and could go from 0-60 instantly!
