John Parr Performing St Elmo's Fire At The Royal Albert Hall

[@HammerDunc]

The love for this sing never dies ❤

[@frankcarlone5130]

The original version speaks to my heart, this version speaks to my soul.

[@truvintage5800]

Dude, That is probably one of the most poetic description, you nailed it man. Nice!

[@tomsnyder8957]

you have no idea brother what this time meant to me. This song and movie were part of the best time in my life

[@nmarks]

My friend was DJing at our school disco in 1986 so I asked him to play this. When it started playing the dance floor cleared. I can't tell you how crushed I felt. However, I am over the moon to discover that lots and lots of people still remember it with affection - so much so that John Parr played acoustic version at a packed Royal Albert Hall. 👏👏👏

[@jammer8282]

Beyond impressed. I wish I could sing like that and he's STILL got it!

[@johnernst2895]

This song has always made me emotional, after hearing this version I have tears rolling down my face.

[@tonisharpe6835]

Met him once he is such a lovely man so down to earth Such a legend

[@wellofsevenph]

he sang it like he's somewhere else, alone, amazing

[@licoyote69]

Wow, I'm blown away! i've always loved this song but this performance brings it to a much higher level.

[@William1987GTA1]

He's a god dang patriot!!! Such inspiration.

[@bobthegrinch]

Surely you mean a higher and higher level?

[@tigerFlip1]

John Parr, you are simply amazing. Thanks for the emotional opportunity, of hearing this song, this way.

[@mtb1779]

You broke the boy in me, but you won’t brake the man.... lovely song and makes so much sense when you understand why he wrote it. X

[@freqenc]

This song will make it into Heaven. I can almost guarantee it!

[@michaellnbnj]

OMG! He hit it out of the park! Stunning version of the song. Amazing!

[@JanIngarKida]

Holy shit!! Dude still can sing this song! Great version of the song!!

[@tcampisi479]

If I can sum this up in one word..... it will be "timeless." Perfection in every sense of the word.

[@jwr5040]

By far the best song of the 80' and is absolutely timeless. Still have never got to see John Parr live but always looking to make that happen.

[@pascalj.303]

What a master piece... I am blown away.

[@alcazartony]

What a power rendition of the classic St. Elmo's Fire from the '80s. I love this song since I was 15 and still loving it now!

[@richrichie378]

My heart is bursting ❤️👏 What a performance.. liquid gold gold gold

[@imashyboi415]

i was like 8 or 9 when i heard this back in the 80's. I loved it then as a boy and i still love it now as a grown man.

[@russell_poppi]

I am inspired. Again. Thank you John Parr

[@thegodzio5673]

My God!! ... no words..... EPIC... i am speechless

[@glenns6094]

I heard the original version on the radio the other day and forgot how much I loved it. Been listening to this acoustical masterpiece since then. Great job John. What a voice!!!

[@replicant7697]

Play the game ... you got to soldier on. Really deep lyrics about not surrendering. Thank you for this song and the singer.

[@emersonflestado1831]

[@Nitetrippr]

Ya so I'm dealing with a neuroendocrine cancer diagnosis and this song/performance is inspirational - thanks you so much john parr and you too Rick Hansen !!

[@brianparr9739]

WOW, great acoustic version of a great song!

[@utilizelife9556]

You are the as best I've ever heard and seen. I heard you when I was 7 with the radio on and I actually came out of my sleep and raised my arm to the sky next ta my Mom. We were sharing a home with my Grandma and believe me. Rebel world. Love ya Sir

[@SarahBeech-j9c]

Nice to see the footage of the original man in motion. Not many people realise the inspiration behind the song.

[@stormchaser1971]

Amazing rendition of this classic hit song. It brought me nearly to the brink of tears

[@states37]

OMG John Parr u are awesome, a true rock star, born to do it. This was great.

[@albiman68]

Love that song and the images in the background of a fellow canadian, Rick Hansen. A real ''Man in motion''

[@Cupra317hp]

Holy. Goosebumps everywhere

[@biukucanoe]

[@utilizelife9556]

Still I blast..Me at 38 years on a fantastic system whether a 4x4 or Mustang, Camaro, Nissan, Mazda... doesn't really matter.. This song is the genius of all Men.

[@rexel666]

What a wonderful song.

[@nicholasj7860]

One of my all time favorites, Thanks John Parr. It still motivates me.

[@CAPE3000able]

What an amazing version of a great song, makes me want to do something great!

[@RioBow]

What a bloke Jhon Parr. Still got it mate That gravely voice just gets better and better kid. Lol As a kid growing up in the 80s you gave a lot of kids such a soundtrack to our lives. And we carry it with us even now. Thank you Jhon Ps Now one had the big hair better than you and Michael Knight. Lol

[@rvmusictv0122]

This is epic. Brilliant. Goosebumps throughout the whole song.🙏❤️

[@Hornadayfan]

Stunningly beautiful...

[@Grodd70]

Incredible. Great song from 80's but the acoustic version is amazing. Mr Parr can still bring it ! Great voice

[@mnomadvfx]

The 80s studio version was a power ballad, this live acoustic feels strangely melancholic - I guess to be expected after decades past and it's associated loss and experience.

[@jasonm4]

figures there'd be some hater trolls to give thumbs down. John sounds excellent, love this song, that's just me.

[@randythompson5154]

Jason Mares Obviously, you’re not alone! Great rendition!!

[@jasoncarvel1821]

Yeah can’t believe anyone would give this a thumbs down. Very moving.

[@jeremysmith54565]

@@jasoncarvel1821 It's amazing plus not realising back then how much of a sense of humour Rick Hansen has lol, he's a total legend is Rick! Might not be myself disabled in the mobility sense but get it completely love that man to pieces!

[@markbartley5804]

[@edteach3r]

Wow! What a story, what a song.

[@CaptainSmith23]

Still sounds amazing.

[@jerrytulod2951]

Amazing, John. I see the heart and the passion!

[@MatthewPearlmanInterviews]

Check out my interview with John Parr from today!

[@breakingewes1316]

I saw him singing acoustic version a few years back. He was supporting Smokie. The whole night was bloody amazing! ❤️❤️❤️

[@frankballesteros8513]

Amazing!!

[@sticksman1979]

From 80s pop to folk. Well bowled John.

[@SlightlyMad25]

Amazing performance!

[@joseluisgutierrez4867]

I love this song

[@SIRROSLYNPARKS]

Wow For Once In Your Life / You Write A Song So Great / In All Of Rock Roll Songs Only About Less Than 5% Are Great From Beginning to End ! This Song Done This Way Is Crazy Fking Great ! From The Heart No Bull Sh.T

[@nightmaredam1]

fantastic voice and song

[@samirgeorge7498]

I grew up with this tune in my head. This acoustic version is just pure emotion. Thanks so. Much all the way from here in algeria

[@thetowerfantasymusic]

Thank you John !!! #StElmosFire

[@acepaul407]

What an incredible talent. A true musician. He should have been a lot bigger than he was. What a voice. He can sing better than many his contemporaries. If you notice that he sounds just like his records, that's becuase he's the real deal. He didn't need studio tricks or gimmicks.

[@pabloiaconoguitar311]

Amazing song and performance Jhon you are great !!!!

[@GamerToday]

John was better guitar player than i thought seeing this version. I was never aware of that. Hes a major top 5 influence in my rasp vocal which made me money. I had no idea on his ability on guitar though. Hes legit and gets his music more than i gave credit. Vocally ive always been a massive fan though when he edges that rasp on back tones. Clearly my later part of my career i mastered the rasp i had his music being a helping hand to see that i could utilize it and mantain that sexy melodic form i love. Of course he wasnt top influence but transitioning from high and soft to hard and back to rasp yes big influence. Without the cracks 😆 🤣 😂 😹 but point is thank you to him.

[@danikurniawan5158]

Amazing Song with Spirit + Sad. Double thumbs up

[@davidfisher917]

John Parr, love this song...great performance!

[@rod_greco8901]

I remember Rick Hansen returning to Vancouver in May 1987 with this song as anthem for Man in Motion World Tour. I was there.

[@sammym2729]

I love the orangial. I saw a video of him singing in 2012 it was not good but this is pure and simple and just raw. Real feeling in this version it's just great.

[@PickettMusic]

What a great version. I never thought I'd dig an unplugged take on this, but this is fantastic. Man, I'd love to be able to sing like this...

[@laughingman8578]

Great voice and song!And great head of hair too!

[@susannelehmann8210]

Hey John, keeps popping up on another version of St Elmo´s Fire and it can´t be more exciting. In every preformence uniqueis revealed. New Horrizon wasn´t my taste, the orginal version from ´85 can´t be beat and what can come out of an acoustic guitar out everything with the unmistakable voice is brilliant

[@djdon60]

I thought I loved the original but...wow! This works! Rick Hansen...national hero.

[@rvmusictv0122]

I love you sir John Parr🙏❤️

[@_Only_Zuul]

just when i thought i couldn't love this song anymore! wow! what an incredible rendition!❤❤❤

[@Alex-st3yk]

Unglaublich, wie schön

[@sram9191]

Thank you..really.

[@gaae2000]

Wow, same great hair!

[@beholdthejuice]

This song was played at my Boy Scout crossover. It is now my favorite song!

[@fatimahenry7034]

WHAT A VOICE OF JOHN GOD WITH YOU X

[@mikosoft]

Never knw he was such a good guitarist. In every other live performance his guitar playing is limited to some power chords in the chorus. And then we get this fingerpicking intro

[@lucilovecraft1621]

👍🏻 you get the bare bones of the song in this performance, fab,

[@anonimuso]

That was amazing.

[@bangsawinski8149]

Only 80s artists can preserve thier prime... 😄
