Wow! I know this is old BUT Ray Charles, Farnsie,Kylie & Anthony Warlow. Amazing!!.❤

[@BrandonBeard]

John Farnham has a voice like a glass of Red it gets better with age. Even today no Australian artist can come close us Australians are so lucky to have him.

[@geewizz3335]

Brilliant absolutely The Diction in Ray Charles and Timber so Amazing He Never Changes Thank You John Farnham a big favourite of mine

[@allymayful]

Ray Charles alone - goosebump stuff!!! Ray Charles with John Farnham giving his absolute best to compliment him - there are no words. Just the deepest emotions of pleasure. What Aussie could have ever predicted such an Occassion 40 or 50 yrs ago when Ray was at the height of his game.

[@natoshisakamotorcade]

WOW !! This one of my favvvy live concerts ever👏👏👏 What a magic nite for audience to witness. What an honour for 'Whispering Jack',Kylie & Anthony jammin with Ray Charles !!🙏

[@robynatsidaftis3419]

Absolutely stunning Wheats... been a fan of all of these people for many years.. thankyou

[@tmnl8037]

This is truly one of the best videos I have ever seen on KZbin, especially the tribute to Johnny O'Keefe and the blending of Johnny O'Keefe into the show in the performance of the song Sing. John Farnham is one of the world's greatest singers as can be seen here in this incredible live show. Guitarist Stuart Fraser of the Farnham Band was young and very handsome looking back then in 1997. That was a fabulous band John Farnham had, especially backing singers Lisa Edwards and Lindsay Field and the entire band including Chong Lim on keyboards, Angus Burchall on drums and the saxophone player Steve Williams too, and not forgetting Brett Garsed on guitar too. They sounded live exactly like on John Farnham's albums. I'm sure the people of Dagenham, England must be wishing John Farnham is somehow extradited back there where he came from because they missed out on one of the greatest singers of all time.

[@markallensnow925]

Wow! What a great moment in history! Wow! Wow, Wow! Just amazing... loved it, thank you so much for sharing this rare gem.

[@nigethejedimaster]

This arrangement of 'Pressure Down' is Fantastic. John should perform more of the alternate arrangements of his hits in concert. Simply Brilliant Concert all round. This looks very much like a forerunner to The Main Event. Thank you so much for posting this for our enjoyment. Magnificent.

[@glowithealth4823]

The highlight of this - Johnny Farnham with Ray Charles. You can tell even Ray appreciates Johnny's voice. He can vocally keep up with and compliment the best of them. In fact, he outperforms a lot of them. He kills any genre you throw at him. What an Australian treasure! Something to really be proud of.

[@natalielorenz7543]

Oh how cool! I love this version of your the voice! Yay!! What fun!

[@wheatleyrecordstv]

Thanks for watching Carl! We were very happy when we discovered the full show in the vaults!

[@BrandonBeard]

"John Farnham and Bruce Springsteen are the Two best singers on the planet!!!"

[@paulbartleyd]

Personally I don't believe anyone can judge "best..."anything. I have no hesitation in agreeing that JF is right up there, but I don't rate Springsteen that highly. Some others I do rate are Burton Cummings, Freddie Mercury, Robert Plant, Glen Shorrock, Joan Baez, Grace Slick.......

[@BrandonBeard]

@Paul D It's all about personal opinion mate 👍👍

[@paulbartleyd]

@@BrandonBeard That's my point precisely. That's precisely why I will never state categorically that anyone is "the best..." If your post had started with "IMHO..." I wouldn't have commented.

[@anne-mariewalden3663]

Yes we do need another picture of you and id love to get to go to your bar.

[@SpottoBotto]

Hello on Thursday 27th October 2022 Hi all you gorgeousness Goddos

[@liatjetta]

John always has a great show. Ray Charles was the only artist that spoilt the event. His legs flying all over the place. I reckon John Farnham was amused at Rays over- the- top- comments.

[@marlenesullivan3113]

I HAVE TO AGREE

[@mishelreynolds5317]

I loved how Ray was expressing his joy with his whole body.

[@michelinesims]

@@mishelreynolds5317 I loved this concert , what a joy to watch , THANKYOU and I agree Ray was using his whole body to express his joy . I hurt for him when he had awful feedback thru his earpiece and ripped it out and tossed it , he proberly ripped someone a new one as well , but John came to the rescue and indicated that Ray was having a problem what a professional , and leaning down to sing close to him and calmed him down . Ray loved John , more joy by clinging to him when it was over, can you imagine being blind and the only thing you have is your hearing to rely on and then horror when it blows up on you . All these guys were so great , big fan of them , JOHN will always be it for me . Lots of LOVE to you and your family , life has thrown you a rotten curveball ,I hope you are seeing how much LOVE is out there for you it's like a viral tsunami xoxo Gisele Sims

[@carolinegodden4364]

SEE YA CUDDLE MAN... MWAH. CATCHYA SOMEWHERE, OR ANYWHERE. GOD, you are totally GORGEOUS!!!❤❤♡♤♡◇♧ ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

[@billrichards1965]

What about that voice, I've been a fan of John since he was Johnny singing "Sadie", yikes I'm aging.... while his voice continues to mature.

[@JudyBeyer]

Am so enjoying this concert, please tell me it is available on DVD or even video so I can go and buy a copy. If not please consider releasing it on a DVD as it is awesome

[@jacklandsford]

What happened with Ray Charles there at 1:08:01 ? he seemed to get angry :(

[@CaptainsChannel58]

sounds like a horn was supposed to come in but it didn't.. He wasn't happy lol

[@allymayful]

@@CaptainsChannel58 He was well known for being a perfectionist. Love his pleasure when it goes well. He was delighted with his duets with John. What an experience to witness!!! Music at its awesome best.

[@fransmith3255]

@@allymayful Hmm...he's a great all-time performer. Pity, though, that he let a bit of incredibly childish unprofessionalism creep into it. I lost a considerable respect for him for that. John had to come on and mop up with with some diplomacy. And judging by his body language towards Ray, I'm betting he wasn't impressed either...

[@henrikryan1606]

I think he had a hum from microphones in his monitors that was a nuisance to him.

[@georgetaunajnr7727]

The audio sounds funny or is it me?

[@stoolpurger6633]

Yabba dabba do

[@trogsie]

Tenor sax should have been up in the mix. JF would have heard it on stage . Its how it should have been mixed! If you want something to swing? Put the horns UP?????!!!!

[@MandyRRAh]

James Morrison!!

[@EarlJohn61]

Is that Charlene from Neighbours? . . She's done something weird to her hair!

[@fransmith3255]

Haha! Indeed! John is fabulous! Ray Charles is fabulous (except for the unprofessionalism)! Anthony Warlow is fabulous! James Morrison is fabulous! The Farnham band is fabulous! The orchestra is fabulous!
