Farnham is that rare combination of stage presence, charisma, looks, and an all round likeability that just draws people to him. It's seen him survive 6 decades and earn the respect of everyone he meets. And then there's that voice. He performs with the confidence of someone who know that voice is never going to let him down. It's as natural as breathing to him.

[@user-iq3mp5zo8z]

Charm - you forgot charm, genuine charm. Prefer this to AC/DC! And love David Hirshfelder on the Keetar. Look him up, look at his astonishing career. All those band musicians and backing singers - phenomenal. 22.9.23. UK. E❤

This was an encore at the very end of a 2 and a half hour show. John is a powerhouse performer.I was lucky enough to be in the audience the night this was recorded. The world really missed out on what us Aussies have prized for over 50 years. He isn't called 'The Voice' for nothing!

[@1719456]

I think the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra may have had more fun than anyone in the building! Did you see the smile on the Conductor's face? Priceless.

[@terryjohinke8065]

That's Btrett Garsed on guitar and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra really enjoying themselves. Yes, John is a nice guy, he grew up in my suburb and has always been kind and loving. Sadly he just underwent a 14 hour operation on his mouth and throat ( cancer). Sadly he may never perform with that voice again. Here, Australia, he is simply known as " The Voice". Deservedly so. We love him , genuinely.

[@jenniferjacobs228]

Or as we Aussie kids used to sing.... It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll..... I think John so inspired the MSO to have some fun and they loved it. And Kudo's to that mighty drummer...he really earned his pay that night....

[@orettawinton5999]

An old friends cousin was one of the violinists…he stated that it was one of most epic experiences of his life…from the rehearsals to the performances.

[@redindenver6666]

Only recently discovered John when I watched a video of him and Jimmy Barnes doing "When Something is Wrong with my Baby". It blew me away -- SO bluesy and they both killed it. This is the first time I've seen him do an actual rock song.

[@lmaree200886]

Lol look up the audio of John singing Led Zepplin's Black Dog 😁

[@dee-smart]

You might like to look up DARE TO DREAM with Olivia Newton John and John Farnham at the Sydney Olympics Opening Ceremony 2000. that is a great one on KZbin.

[@ppm4eva]

Linda Hobson, glad to hear it. John can sing anything, and brilliantly. Check out him singing "Burn for You", and "A Touch of Paradise". The antithesis of "It's a Long Way To the Top", but equally compelling.

[@shoresaresandy]

He does a mean version of the Queen song “We Will Rock You” too!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaG2fWN3n61qebs. It was recorded at the Sydney Opera House with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. He is such a legend.

[@narellesmith7932]

You can feel the building move. The whole building vibrates

[@sharenedrennan1602]

That was the Melbourne symphony orchestra backing him and his band for that concert...They earned their money that night.

[@zedm7523]

That is Farnham's encore song after he has sung Help after 2hours plus of singing. In effect he cuts the musicians loose so that they have an absolute ball at the end of the show. The Orchestra cuts loose, the band cut loose, the back up singers cut loose and Farnham adds his brilliant talent to complete the perfection. It's great that you share these oustanding performances so that other people around the world see how brilliant Farnham and his team are... Well Done! :)

[@jeffwilson7100]

John’s band are the best. Most have their own careers but always join him when they’re able. Lisa and Lindsay on backup vocals (Venetta’s retired), Angus on the drums, Brett on guitar. The last time I saw him live in 2010 (21 years after this concert), they were still there. And John’s voice at age 61 - still the same. Could still hit EVERY note. He’s the goat.

[@LongStraightLines]

How is John Farnham not the most famous singer/front man on the planet?

[@jcampbellshale]

He IS to me and millions of others 😀 and a few million more to come thanks to channels like this one and new fans like you ! Share the joy I say 💗

[@magpiegirl3783]

Welcome to a John Farnham concert! He does this night after night on his tours. Surrounds himself with the best musicians, many of whom have worked with him for years. His superb back up singers, his intermingling with the crowd and he even had the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra hopping to the beat. Wonderful, wonderful John. He can sing any genre but he fancies himself a rocker ... he can sing it alright but he just looks to nice to be one of those down and dirty rocker types! You noticed the crowd too? Sell out concerts for years - you see why.

[@Lynnie_14]

John truly is "that nice" one in a billion I'd say. He's a legend in Australia 🇦🇺 🙌

[@kennykarlsson6691]

[@bernadettelanders7306]

So much energy. Brilliant. Melbourne Symphony Orchestra playing with a rock band and I love the fun and laughter the Orchestra conductor Dobbs Franks had - not often you see a professional symphony orchestra have so much fun 😁👍

[@linmonash1244]

The Violinist's leaping to their feet & 'rockin on'... Hilarious.

[@EnlightenedCate]

It was in the 80's. John used to do a new show either every year or every 2 years. I can't remember but I know that I attended every new show in Melbourne. Pronounced Melbun.

[@Dr_KAP]

Geoff Harvey was the conductor here - he’s a very well known musician and conductor in Australia and quite the character- he was behind the little stand up-stand down routine from the violin players- he’s just a joker through and through and this would have been just a bit of fun for them all - Aussie humour shining through, not meant to be serious at all 😂

[@suzyfarnham3165]

Dobbs Franks was the conductor of the MSO.

[@wren1960]

Great reaction, I was there and it was AWESOME. After Bon died Brian Johnson refused to played this song out of respect for Bon. Which annoyed Aussie's whenever they played here because we wanted to hear them play it but he wouldn't. John Farnham was really the one that used to played it live at concerts. And still does.

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Thanks Matt for another awesome Farnsey reaction and that’s why we call him the Voice down under. He’s just not a singer but an entertainer and a true performer with great personality

[@margi6035]

The Orchestra would have thoroughly enjoyed this gig. John is such a lovely person and so likeable that you can see how much they are enjoying themselves. He encourages that feeling good because his personality is so infectious.

[@gerardmcnally]

John .... Please get well soon.

[@SWTSU]

Everybody looks/sounds good playing ACDC!!!!!!! Granted he is no Bon Scott but no complaints here!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!!!!😎🍸

[@flej01]

John Farnham makes every song his own, he's version of the Beatles "help" is phenomenal, he is so down to earth, I met him out front his mother in laws house in Hilda St Glenroy, he said hello to me first and had such a warm and welcoming personality. I went to his wedding when I was about 7ish as did half of Glenroy at St Johns Church. His wife Gillian went to the same school as me me, she was older in my sisters class. I have been a fan for like 50 years. He deserves every success he gets

[@suzyfarnham3165]

It was Saint Matthews in Glenroy. They were already married the week before. Molly Meldrum had leaked all the details of the wedding so they married on the 11th at a registry office

Anyway I had a large box for a recording studio in my van. Went in dark room where 3 guys talking, ask if someone could give me a hand. Out comes Johnny Farnham to help me, always a fan after that.

[@greigclement9081]

This was a bonus single on Age of Reason CD. Worth tracking down and belting the hell out of it. No violins or brass on the studio single, just the band. Brett Garsed, the guitarist, shreds right through the fade out.

[@holgervoigt4315]

Feels like it was yesterday - until you realize they don`t make much music like that any more. Come to think of it, I wasn´t a particular AC/DC fan back then, didn´t have their records but recognized their songs when they were on the radio. Now, they`re part of my musical memories from that era. Thanks for uploading!

[@lynettedevries1824]

I used to have that concert on video and that was the last song on it. Johnny's album Whispering Jack sold the most albums back in the day. There was a young man forget the name but he sounded just like him at the time. Nice to have Americans react to some of my Country's finest singers.
