Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham 1st time

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Thanks heaps for the reaction and what a way to be introduced to John Farnham (Farnsey). Such a great duet with these legends, can’t better then that and then to throw in Diesel the guitar player takes it to another level. By the way Diesel is Jimmy’s brother in law lot of talent in that family

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

George, this is so much fun, they are great, thank you for your time and guidance down this road.

[@aussierhino471]

You can say that again _ Jimmy's daughters also sing and I think his son is a drummer!

[@wayback479]

Drop into Farnsey’ s catalogue, The live concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is a cracker , Help is a Beatles cover will absolutely blow you away , luv it 😊

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

I'm actually working on that right now trying to get it uploaded

[@Rassskle]

Welcome to the John Farnham rabbit hole.....started in 1966 and only finnished early last year or 2021. Check out Jimmy’s duet with Tina Turner...... Simply The Best...... I think it will blow you away.

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

Great rabbit hole, would love to see Barnsey and Tina. Got it on the list. Thank you, appreciate you taking the time of your day. Be well.

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

Ok I will shut up after this, funny you still notice things 3rd time thru it. The fun they were having making this they were grinning and just truly, really enjoying and singing together, and his brother in law on Guitar, (thanks Jenny and George), for that knowledge,

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

The band(Cold Chisel) is I would say, a mix of blues, country, rock, rockabilly, but this is more blues. With all your info, now I know. Barnsy and Farnsy,

[@jobydogwhisperer4163]

This is one of the best duets ever from two of the best singers in the World.

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

I totally agree with that statement. I thank you for taking time out of your day Dog Whisperer . I have dogs myself and just love them. Got more Cold Chisel coming up and I will get your stuff worked in bear with me give me some time I will get it done

[@Kimmy58]

Love how YOU love our Aussie musicians..... Come on down the rabbit hole 😂

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

I'm in and here we go this is a blast thank you for your time I appreciate it

[@micheleallen]

You need to check both of them live. They are so much better live. John is an absolute legend in Australia spanning 6 decades. His most famous song is You’re the Voice. The best video is him singing live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. John has the orchestra rocking. Love John and Jimmy and Diesel. They are lovely human beings as well.

[@kennykarlsson6691]

John farnham is the voice of all time and music genre. I really hope that he gets well again and back on stage where he belongs.

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

Yes, I am just starting down this rabbit hole with John Farnham, prayers for Farnsey, hope he get's better soon. The world needs him!

@@OccasionalOutlaw He is now cancer free. 😁

2 of the best voices you will ever hear. Barnsy is a hard working guy. For sure. Good stuff.

[@carolynh8866]

Love watching people discover John Farnham for the first time and your reaction was no exception. So now I have subscribed as well. . John and Jimmy are two of the heaviest heavy weights of the Australian Music industry. Both are loveable larrikins. And both have crazy powerful voices. Most everyone agrees the John is the best singer Australia has ever had, including Jimmy who along with most of the Aust industry voted John as the Singers Singer. I sure hope you will check out more from John as well as Jimmy. John's most famous song You're the Voice Or his cover of the Beatles Help as you've never hear it before. Live concert with the Melbourne Symphony. John's live performances trump his studio versions So always choose live when you can. Even this song with Jimmy is way better live 😉

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

You know we're going to do it all eventually I just love this stuff those guys are great I cannot wait I think I'm going to do help next

[@carolynh8866]

@@OccasionalOutlaw awesome 👌. Make sure you do the one with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. The Aussies are going to love you....don't forget to pace yourself though. As the requests will snowball 🤣 enjoy the ride ...

[@geerterri]

@@OccasionalOutlaw John was a member of the Little River Band for 3 years.

[@brettbridger362]

The guitarist is Diesel (from Jonny Diesel and the Injectors) who is Jimmy's brother-in-law. What I like about Jimmy & John is that they are both so good that they can both 'let go' without overpowering each other. Both of these artists chose family over international success, so are not as well known outside of Australia.

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

Brett that is my thoughts exactly I thought they complimented each other well and still allowed each other to exercise those great vocals I got some diesel coming up thank you sir appreciate your time

[@bonoroo5313]

Love seeing someones first reaction to John, every song from the MSO concert is pure gold. They are both very diversified in their music journey as you would expect with 6 decades of music to their names. If you want to see how Jimmy was younger, watch Cold Chisel's cover of Wild Thing and for something different from John, try Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar, Sydney, final night, it'll blow your mind. We are pretty loyal down here in Oz. You show us love and you get nothing but love in return.

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

Aussies are bringing it. I love the passion, Got some more on the way. Thank you for taking time of your day, means a lot to me. See you soon. be well.

Keep up the Aussie reactions. Love this YT touchstone. Feel like I'm not only back home, but back home in the 80s. 😮😮 If you love Jimmy, you've got a road to travel with the legendary Farnsey as well. You will definitely get the chills with his Beatles cover of HELP live with the Melbourne symphony orchestra. That's the one to do. Looking forward to it. 🤩🤩

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

I am having the time of my life, and I been around a minute or two. Thank you so much for kindness, I love getting the goosebumps, feels good. I have to see the (Help), with symphony, love that kind of stuff. Appreciate you taking your time to come by. Be wll.

[@barnowl5774]

John Farnham IS the top dog of singers in Australia. Even Jimmy admits this and sings John's praises. A better version of this song is at the ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) Awards. ALWAYS see and hear John Farnham LIVE as he is a consummate showman and soooo charismatic. He sings in over 20 genres, has been singing for six decades with top hits and albums, and only has the best singers and musicians in his band. He has lots of songs on You Tube to view.

[@davidhandson2429]

I'll take Jimmy over John any day of the week. No disrespect to John but for me Jimmy is no1 John no2.

[@OccasionalOutlaw]

They are also good I'm just loving this and it's so much fun

I like the one on Hey, Hey It's Saturday.

Johnny Diesel the guitarist is a legend in his own right and is also Jimmy's brother inlaw. This is a Sam and Dave cover. Jimmy finally got to do a duet with Sam virtually song is Soothe Me.

Jimmy has a daughter called Mahalia, her voice is amazing too. She is a backing singer for Joe Bonamassa but gets a lead role in 'Riding with the kings' Joe started with BB King at the age of 13 and now performs and produces quality music here. Oh and you seem a sports fan you may like our football AFL. And military, there is an outstanding song about Vietnam called 'Only 19' by Redgum.

So, if you love live raw talent you can't go past a memorial concert put on for the late Andy Durant RIP from 1980. Andy was only around 25 when he past away from cancer. A collection of entertainers from his own band, Stars, 3 of Col Chisel's line up including Jimmy Barnes, Ian Moss and Don Walker, Australia's queen of soul, Renee Geyer (pronounced Gay -er) RIP, Richard Clapton, Broderick Smith RIP, and of course Mick Pearling and Mal Eastick from Andy's band sang their hearts out as part of a memorial concert. Apart from Knocking on Heaven's Door a Bob Dylan tune, Andy wrote every song ( although for two he had others who contributed). Jimmy would have been around 24 years at the time.....here is a link to the full concert which hasn't been available on you tube for long. I've commented on the link already with each song and links to the starting time. I highly recommend Knocking on Heaven's Door. Have a great day. Enjoy 🎉🎉🎉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXKTi5yDftKJZ9k
