Lisa .......Venetta........and Lindsay. The best backing singers in the industry. Pure cream!

[@jeffwilson7100]

Love them

[@wesleygalvin9983]

Now THAT is a party right there!! My only complaint, is it's not long enough LOL I could watch it again and I probably will. Thank you for reacting to John again and for spreading this man's work around the world. G'day from Australia.

[@malcolmrayner3480]

John could sing the phone book and make it sound great. Check out his sound check in which he warms up with Black Dog

[@davidmclauchlan8261]

John is a vocal and live performance genious !

[@rickandersen2284]

Yes.!

[@classicaustralianmusicandf7425]

Just one of Australia's treasures. Lisa Edwards with the hair 😁

[@carolynh8866]

So now you seen him do a Beatles song and make it his own. He's turned ADCD upmarket and you've noticed he can scream...if you want to hear screaming John take his voice to places you wont beleive then checkout his cover of Led Zeplins Black Dog. It's audio only but it is Live, in fact it's a warm up piece he does for his sound check. All great intros to John farnhams vocal ability with recognisable songs. But he has so many seriously amazing hits of his own songs for you to discover as well. I can recommend You're the Voice, See the Banners Fall, Chain Reaction, Pressure Down, Please Don't Ask Me with Olivia Newton John, Playing to Win, That's Freedom, When Something is Wrong with Baby Duet with Jimmy Barnes. And that is just the tip of a very large iceburg. Enjoy the journey ....

[@micheleallen]

Another great performance is a duet with Olivia Newton John called Please Don’t Ask Me. Also his live version of Burn for You. These are both ballads showing a softer beautiful side to John.

[@carbine5378]

John Farnham can sing anything, he has an incredible range.

[@alliegal45]

Dark man cave for me 😉……. On KZbin there is an audio only of John Farnham singing Black Dog by Led Zeppelin…..as a soundcheck…. Impressive, especially the band and backing singers … new sub

[@tracyashpole9903]

When the war is over When something is wrong with my baby Please don’t ask me - with Olivia newton john Burn for you Welcome to the Voice and the deep deep rabbit hole. 5 decades of the best!!!

[@alimac1469]

The ultimate concert.

[@that70sgirl17]

I like your man cave dark - but aside from that I wanna thank you for this reaction - the joy in your face was all the serotonin I needed today 😃 what an epic performance this was ❤

[@paulsutubification]

But I love even more than the performance is that everybody in the audience, and on stage is having a blast!

[@elizabethscott7660]

Always go dark😈😂 There is one song he didn't perform live and that is a soundcheck, Black Dog. Technically it is live but with no audience. It's amazing. Another is Gethsemane, from Jesus Christ Superstar, last night live, Sydney 1992. In over 50 years John has never given less than perfection.

[@ianmontgomery7534]

In my mind perfection was John Beeb and Graeham doing Silent Night at Carols by Candlelight.

[@debbieg1406]

John can do anything! He can sing any kind of music genre. He is just a phenomenally gifted singer and performer!

[@LizzieRD]

Dark is better. And John Farnham with Jimmy Barnes should be your next. When Something is wrong with my baby. Absolutely the best alpha-a-alpha duet you will ever see ir hear. The Hey Hey its Saturday live is the best version

[@AnneSmith-lr7cp]

Love the clear joy you showed watching this. It is what we felt when at his concerts.

[@justlinsu]

This was after a 2 hour show and his second encore for the night....lol I very much think that the Orchestra members and their Conductor would never had had so much fun EVER!!! lol Such a lot of fun for all the bank and especially the audience. I loved this performance. I see by your reaction you are now a John Farnham fan too lol. His first encore was 'You're The Voice' one of Australia's favourites. John is known here in Australia as 'The Voice'

[@narellesmith7932]

Last song before the encores I think. Place was jumping 🎉

[@alyn927]

Great wake up song thankyou. Edit… the Best wake up song!

[@Summersalt1964]

This whole live concert with the Melbourne Symphony orchestra is mind blowing. Have you listened to John Farnham singing with Jimmy Barnes the song When something is wrong with my baby, live on a show called Hey hey it’s Saturday its amazing !!!!

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

When rock meets orchestra. Everyone having a ball.

[@annettelane]

Just love the look on the conducter hes having a ball

[@emiliomazzeo4286]

AS YOU SAID EVERYONE HAD LOTS OF FUN - INCLUDING THE CONDUCTOR WHO HAD A GRIN FOR MOST OF THE SONG. THIS PERFORMANCE WAS TRULY "EPIC"

[@narellesmith7932]

Enjoying your reactions mate. No one would cover this after Bon passed away except John

[@dystar112]

John is an all-rounder. He can perform any style 💯💥❤

[@davidcruse6589]

That's after 2hrs of singing Listern to he's warm up song Led zeppelin black dog You will only find a recording Cheers mate 5 decades of them As we say here welcome down the rabbit hole All his duo's are as good even international artists like Tom Jones You should have notice by now how John always gives someone a solo Wether singing or instrumental as he appreciates everyone else as well Hey being pissed means you'll fit right in with the aussie culture Drunk and good music all you need in life 🦘🇦🇺👍

[@ingridbaasbecking2999]

Prefer the dark. Great reaction. I think this must have been the 'mother' of all concerts...

[@pateoo6]

Try his cover of Blackdog by Led Zepland.

[@kerrypapworth1526]

This was unbelievable, our John is simply remarkable. I have been lucky enough that have seen him live lots of times over the years. 💕💕

[@kennykarlsson6691]

Check out some of his recent live performence, before he got sick. He was just as good Being 70yo and this song he sang without any problems. What a voice he has had.. ive recently discoverd a nother live show with the Melbourne syphony orcestra its from 2006 and he sounds so amazing, going trough diferent music genre, he can master them all. Check it out ive seen it 3 times now. My conclusion is that he is the voice of all time.

[@Get-Smart529]

I often wondered why John did not make it really big on the international stage.

[@nicod4660]

luv this thankyou soooo much, just subbed and liked. Something is wrong with my baby, live, with Johnny and Jimmy Barnes is amazing, if u interested. luv from Auss

[@Bellas1717]

My favourite, thank you so much!! I love the energy

[@londarychlewski6228]

Love your man cave .also love the screen with the artist is a good size. And you don’t go on with crap. Great reactions to watch . 😁

[@toddyrocket296]

Thanks and 🍻

[@devilsadvocate2548]

As many people have said, John Farnham can sing 'anything'. There is a great 4 part short documentary (7-10 min per episode) someone made for KZbin literally called 'John Farnham can sing anything'. At the very start of part 1 they show a clip of an interview with artist Richard Marx (who has collaborated with John many times over the years) and he sums it up pretty nicely. Whilst not a large amount of people around the world know/knew of John Farnham, many legendary artists do/did and often placed him near or at the top of their lists of world class vocal performers ie Tom Jones, Freddy Mercury, Celine Dion, Stevie Wonder etc. John is definitely 'the singer's singer'! It's just so good that via reaction videos such as yours, that the general public are finally getting to see/hear what Australians and many legendary performing artists for decades have already known. John Farnham can 'sing' as well as 'perform' with the 'best' and deserves his moniker of 'The Voice'.

[@beresfordthompson1370]

The best version of this epic rock classic, even better than AC/DC. Everyone is having so much fun on that stage and Brett Garsed on guitar awesome. This was one of a few encores after a 2 plus hour concert and John, and everyone for that matter has so much energy and sound amazing.

[@doc6186]

I like it dark, your english is perfect and you didn't appear drunk. I love your spirit - "I will continue to do more Farnham even if you don't like it, because I like him". Perfect! Luckily I love Farnsey, and your reactions, so I'm up for more. Plenty of suggestions have been offered so you will be busy. And as you will explore you will discover he covers all genres of music. To help find the clips for the suggestions in the comments; "Please Don't Ask Me" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKa5kKeQhKmZgZo "When Something is Wrong with my Baby" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHLPd3uJhbF7ptE (with Jimmy Barnes on Hey Hey) "Black Dog" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGO8mmmKi85gqbc (Warm up/sound check) "Gethsemane" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWbaoICQqaifnqs (Rock Opera - he played JC in Jesus Christ Superstar) "When the War is Over" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3PSYpaDqtKqeK8 "Burn for You" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoGzp4Kehdije6M (one of many to choose from)

[@dystar112]

Great reaction 💥

[@brenreeves9496]

I THINK this was the last song of the night after 2 encores. He still has so much energy. I just want to get up and dance. Thank you ❤

[@paulsutubification]

You must watch the encore. He sings help by The Beatles.

[@bernbee1679]

And this was at the end of 2 hours😊 I agree listen to Black Dog 😍

[@vannewman4905]

Were you aware Queen approached John Farnham to be the replacement for Freddie Mercury also John could sing the phone book and make it great

[@dystar112]

I likes your reaction 💫

[@mssuziquzi]

John can sing any genre better than anyone. I too am a big Tommy Johansson fan. He’s amazing but maybe not as diverse as John. John does a really great version of Amazing Grace with two of his backup singers, which is worth watching. Also catch him in JC Superstar singing Gethsemane or warming up for a performance with his Black Dog sound check which someone recorded. His duet with Jimmy Barnes, Something is wrong with my baby, live on Hey Hey it’s Saturday will introduce you to another fantastic Aussie talent . Loving your reactions 👍

[@pmR32red]

[@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax]

Dark or Light is fine by me! Just love your reactions!
