[@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)'. This makes his stamina even more amazing! Quite a few people think it was the last song though! :-)

[@Jus7aguy]

He came back on and did ANOTHER Encore after that apparently.

[@barnowl5774]

John Farnham is Australian rock royalty. His voice is clear and powerful and ranges from A2 to G5. He can sing in over 20 styles. He is career in music is 5-6 decades long. He is the consummate professional showman who has the best of singers and band backing him. And he shows his appreciation to them. John is also humble, playful, funny, energetic, engaging and charismatic and has the audience with him all the way. Always watch and hear John LIVE and his concerts with The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra are wonderful. There are lots of YT clips to choose from. John has just had major surgery and our thoughts and prayers now are for his good recovery. He is well-loved in Oz. (P.S. Did you know that the accent in some words in the South African accent are the same as an Australian accent? It must be something to do with being 'down under'!)

I am a Filipino... and I love John... I even named my son after Farnham... That version of "Help" by John Farnham has actually overshadowed the original "Help" of the Beatles by millions of miles. This version of Farnham has laid the foundation for present and future "Help" revivals and interpretations - even revolving around this Farnham version, and not anymore the original "Help". All the emotions; all the vocals; the saxophone solo; the symphony orchestra, the back-up singers! And I love all the high notes - and the slurs! Excellent! Gorgeous! Phenomenal! Powerful! Joyous!

You take an old Beatles pop hit of the sixties, puil the tempo back, rearrange it and get John Farnham to sing it - HELP!

Sadly, he's doing it tough after marathon surgery for cancer of the throat and mouth but he'll fight all the way. Aussies love him...and now so do you.

[@bernadettelanders7306]

Terrific review 👏Yup, that’s our John, singing here in Australia from aged 18 until Covid stopped concerts. He’s 73 and just very recently had 11 hour cancer surgery, he’s recovering and doing well in ICU. We’ve had him singing for us for 50 years. Now it’s time, when out of hospital to spend at home with his wife of nearly 44 years and family. Going to his concerts was absolutely amazing.

[@robertcockerell3640]

We have grown up with John (formerly Johnny) Farnham in Australia since 1967. Over 50 years later he has become a well deserved "overnight" world sensation.

[@ThatGuy-bp4gz]

So if you really want to have a good cry, watch John Farnham's duet with Olivia Newton of 'Please Don't Ask Me. " Olivia recently passed away after battling cancer. John is currently in hospital recovering from cancer surgery. The two were close friends.

[@getreal4371]

John Farnham doing Led Zeppelins "BLACK DOG" is a MUST

[@carolynh8866]

You have just discovered THE VOICE of Australia. He can sing anything from Heavy Rock to the softest ballads, country, musical theatre, opera jazz, soul, r&b, pop rock. He is one of the best vocalists ever. He has had a career with number 1 hits and albums in 6 consecutive decades since he was a teen in the 60's and he is just such a nice man. Hopefully you will stick around and discover more from him. Anything from this same concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is a great place to start. Try His most famous song is You're the Voice and another one you might like is his cover of ACDC It's a Long way to the Top. And Always always do live performances with this guy...

[@ankeyosh8441]

Not quite true! I live in Berlin and have known and loved John for many years. It was John's decision not to become world famous. His record company wanted to market it worldwide, but he didn't want to. With the success of Youre the voice, he toured all over the world and was no longer at home. But he had a family and loves life on a farm. He didn't want to give that up. That's stupid for me here in Germany, but it makes him so human.

[@j-1159]

[@karlenemacdonald6549]

So....John is 73yrs of age now.....and as of last week, he was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his mouth. He underwent a 12hr surgery to remove it and reconstruct part of his jaw, which went very well, and all the tumor was removed successfully. John being the legend that he is....he was joking with the medical team before going into surgery. He is a beloved artist here in Australia....and all of us were totally shocked when we heard the news, and held our breath all last Tuesday when he was in surgery. He is a freak of nature, as far as singing goes....and has been blessed by God with an extraordinary voice. In fact, he is lovingly been dubbed...The Voice here in Oz. He can sing any genre of music, and can belt out notes effortlessly. This video I think was back in the 80s. He was still belting out the high notes even just a couple of years ago...! He is a very down to earth guy, and very loved here. I can see straight away by your reactions....that you appreciate the amazing singer he is. Welcome to the world of Farnsey.....

[@deidrejones6075]

John is now 73. He had a surgery a week ago removing a cancer Tumor from his mouth and reconstruction of his jaw. He may not be able to sing again, he has to learn how to speak, eat, drink, A very long road ahead for him. He is the loviest man you could ever want to meet.

He did Black Dog (Led Zepplin cover) as a warm up song but not live. You got to listen to it. Just amazing. He's the best. He did surgery the other day and hope he have a succesfull recovery.

Lol I was literally coming to say that you haven't *really* heard what Farnsey can do until you've heard his cover of Black Dog. I've found that a lot of Aussies aren't even aware of that particular moment of musical majesty, and it's an actual crying shame. No one can come even remotely vocally close to Plant; the one and only exception is John Farnham.

Black Dog is a MUST to review.

Black Dog blew me away when I first heard it. But if you want a song with more attitude then the song that preceded Help from this concert is the one. It's a Long Way to the Top is just an amazing performance. His vocals after the solo are the hardest he has done I think.

Everything he takes on seems to be great. I discovered him early this year and I'm blown away by his voice, performance and personality.

Amazing live performance
