John is great and an Australian treasure, but let's be clear, not only is Olivia Australia's sweet heart, but is revered worldwide and her record sales is the best of all time. She is an icon! Their friendship can be seen in this preformance...so great! 👍

[@jeffwilson7100]

John and Olivia were friends for 50 years

[@bigs1546]

John Farnham has been quoted as saying that he rehearses a lot, and that is the work.............the performance is his fun with an audience.

[@benjaminwigley4132]

YOUR reaction is the best. THEY were best friends. HE died inside when she passed. BUT he is still here.

[@chop845]

Farnsy and Livy had the most amazing chemistry. Nothing ever seemed fake or forced. Great great reaction. Always go live with Farnsy. Him and Anthony Warlow singing Granada at the same concert was amazing.

[@OutOnThatLine]

Added to the list!

[@stevehardie2212]

I've watched this video dozens of times, but this was the first time since Livvy's passing and John's cancer news. Knowing that they'll never perform again, but so grateful that THIS performance exists, the tears literally would not stop, and I was drawn into the song like never before. Thank you for your heartfelt response, and can't wait to see your other reactions.

[@OutOnThatLine]

A moving performance. So glad to have found it with y'all's help.

[@cgkennedy]

John was diagnosed with cancer the day Olivia Newton John died, so a double blow of bad news. At least John has had a jaw reconstruction after his surgery.

[@boobob9846]

Amen to that

[@lmaree200886]

@cgkennedy Why are you lying saying John found out he had mouth cancer the same say Olivia died? Is it just to get attention? John was diagnosed two WEEKS after Olivia passed away as he was rushed into emergency surgery on 22nd August 2022 NOT the 8th August when Olivia died 🤦‍♀️

[@ChrisFirth-do2sm]

​@@lmaree200886no body is lying. He was on the way to the doctors when it came over the radio. He had the surgery two weeks later.

This is from a concert called The Main Event with John Farnham, Olivia Newton John and Anthony Warlow( who was the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera). Any number is fabulous and I think you would enjoy them all.

Out On That Line, A really lovely honest review, you could see the truth, the bond of friendship only, they’ve had since they were teenagers. Everyone else said said the rest in the comments.

[@carmelmcshanag8144]

Subbed for Farnsy and any other Aussie music you want to showcase! We are indeed committed to our Farnsy! John can literally do anything (as you know by now) so just keep churning them out! Get well Farnsy! 💕 Love you ONJ! 💕 Dude! Your face when he hits the big notes is all we need! 💕

[@OutOnThatLine]

Thank you so much. Love to Farnsy, and all due respect to the lovely ONJ.

[@Bellas1717]

Thank you. What a wonderful analysis of this beautiful ballad. I totally enjoyed it. This performance was from a concert called The Main Event, with John, Olivia and Anthony Warlow. They moved in an out of singles, duets and trios throughout the show. To go to another end of John's spectrum, I second the suggestion for Granada with Anthony Warlow, an Aussie operatic/musical theatre icon. They bring a comedic bent to the performance, yet still stun with their vocal ability.

[@OutOnThatLine]

Lotta recommendations for Grenada! It's on the list for sure now.

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Thanks bro for the great reaction to these legends. They were great friends, John is married and been married for almost 50 years now. Now you know why we call Him the voice, no one can belt like he does. New subscriber, should check out John Farnham “angels” live in 2000 he sings it with Lisa Edwards his backup singer it’s incredible.

[@OutOnThatLine]

Added to the list. Thanks! And thanks for the sub!

[@teemarie2358]

Welcome welcome to our world of The Voice. Please listen to Angels and Amazing Grace by him, they are amazing. Always listen live..it is better than studio versions.

[@ladymanners618]

Farnsey's 50th wedding anniversary to Jill is coming up I think. If you want to outdo your friend have a look at Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar. John played Jesus in an Australian production and his range and power is spine-chilling. He does wonderful jazz and musical theatre with Anthony Warlow and Olivia in the main event. There is no genre that he can't sing and leave you gaping. The MSO string section has much fun in Black Dog too. He's always better live because he really connects with people.

[@OutOnThatLine]

Musical theatre kid here--and JCS in particular is a top 5 favorite. Gethsemane is a must do! Can't wait to explore more Farnsy.

[@brisbaneshadowsplayers4225]

These two have been great friends for decades.

[@margenn3889]

Like another viewer, I'm just watching this, with tears in my eyes. We just had a memorial service last Sunday in Melbourne, Australia, for Olivia Newton John. Amazing talent there.

[@treadingtheboards2875]

My wife and I were at this concert and the song always brings me to tears every time I hear it as it brings back memories of a close cousin who passed away in 1999. The song was released in 1980 and I had the pleasure of performing it as a duet in some concerts with my cousin in the early to mid 1990's. I will admit we were not as good at John and Olivia but we still got a standing ovation from the audiences.

[@dee-smart]

This might be repeated and I am sorry for that but haven't had time to skim through comments beforehand. Liv and John have a massive history together. They both were born in 1948 and 1949 respectively in the UK and came out as children to Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. In the 1960's before winning a trip to England Liv and her friend were on Melbourne TV a few times singing, and of course so was John (separately). John made a name for himself with the song SADIE THE CLEANING LADY (on youtube) 1967. He was 18 at the time. As time went on he became the King of Pop and was fairly famous in Australia and of course Liv made an international name for herself but they remained friends working together in Australia from time to time. That song you put on was part of a 2 hour concert called THE MAIN EVENT that also included Anthony Warlow (Australia's phantom from PHANTOM OF THE OPERA). BTW all three have had cancer. Poor John went in for throat surgery a few days after Liv's death (12 hours) and had part of his jaw removed for cancer. Anthony has had cancer before and is still around too. The other great combo of Liv and John was at the 2000 Opening Ceremony of the Sydney Olympics when they sang together DARE TO DREAM. All links below.

[@OutOnThatLine]

Thank you for these--and for the background info. Australian musicians seem to have a real kinship.

[@dee-smart]

@@OutOnThatLine No worries. Yes they all do work well together which is great for all of us!

[@narellesmith7932]

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

I recommend you watch Burn For You which he wrote for his wife. He hated being away from her when on tour and chose to not tour overseas. Lucky for us in Australia because we got to see more of him but sad for the rest of the world. He and Olivia were also great supporters of charities in Australia. Olivia raised over 100 million dollars to build a wellness hospital and research centre in her hometown of Melbourne to treat and support cancer patients. A true legend and hero sadly lost too soon. RIP.

[@OutOnThatLine]

Burn For You goes on the list. Lovely!

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

No romantic history, just the very best lifelong friends. John has been faithfully married for nearly fifty years now and is totally devoted to his wife and sons. He is the nicest, most genuine guy you could ever meet.

[@OutOnThatLine]

I love it!

[@shenoashbay1361]

It's long way to the top if you want to rock and roll, John Farnham sings it well

[@aussiemiss1315]

Watch Granada with Farnsey and Anthony Warlow you will see John sing opera. He has so much power that he needs to hold the microphone further away as the power notes are coming up. He is such a professional. I think if he was trained he could have easily been a famous opera tenor. Always watch live. He lights up in front of an audience Amazing grace and angels are to magic videos My favourite is Help the old Beatles song done with the Melbourne symphony orchestra. Welcome down the Farnham rabbit burrow.

[@OutOnThatLine]

You had me at "Farnsy does opera." 🤩

[@r.fairlie7186]

@@OutOnThatLine I’ve just watched a terrific concert on KZbin of John with his fantastic musicians. He ad-libbed singing opera in German near the end and was cracking jokes all the way through the entire concert. The title is “John Farnham - Man of the Moment - Concert Doco”. It was made in 2014. I think you’ll love it as he and his band have now had time to bring some new and fresh ideas to his songs. The brass section is amazing, especially Steve Williams on harmonica, saxophone and clarinet. So are Brett and Stuart, his guitar soloists. Sadly, Stuart passed from lung cancer about two years ago. The documentary also introduces most of the musicians between songs and they’re lovely people, just like John. I’m not recommending this as a reaction, unless a couple of the songs really resonate with you like this duet of John with Olivia. It’s a proper concert with excellent visuals and sound quality. You even get to see them taking bows at the end. Happy viewing of all the John Farnham and friends’ performances! Robyn F.

[@OutOnThatLine]

oh, i am IN!

[@bennine888]

These two have toured together & done at least one album together too. John & Olivia both had deep lifelong friendships with many people in their sphere. They wouldn't have friendships or relationships any other way. It's never just for the cameras or the performance. They truly deeply care in all that they do & all that they love. Both simple, normal people who chose to live out on big, huge properties amongst nature, their animals & for John & his wife, their horses. You would never have seen them in typical celebrity mansions, head to toe in Gucci & Versace. There is nothing Hollywood about them. For the most part that's the typical Aussie way. How they lived before they were famous v's how they lived thereafter never changed. The younger generation will likely now be different but hopefully they won't forget where they came from & their true roots.

[@bevselway9030]

[@roslynjonsson2383]

New subscriber here / I just tripped over your beautiful reaction to our Farnsey. I've been to 17 concerts, and it's always a toss up for me which concert is my favourite, because I can't separate this concert (The Main Event) and with The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra - both were performances that you knew at the time, would go down in history as Iconic and legendary, which they both are. John Farnham is so much more than a singer, he is one of the most compassionate, kind, humble and caring human beings you'll ever come across. He is the best of what us Aussies are, and strive to be. I'm 57, so have had Farnsey in my life through every decade, went to see John with my grandmother and aunties, and now my own sons and their kids know all his music as well, because we have it playing at every family gathering lol. Yeah, we're Farnsey / Barnsey and Diesel fans in this family....Thank you so much for such a lovely and respectful reaction. Hugs and peace from Western Australia 🤗☮

[@markflint2629]

[@karenstrong8887]

Yes! You get them and that is rare. If you ask every Australian they would tell you these two have been great friends since their teens. Through the years they have come together for charity concerts whenever we needed them. They are two very nice and talented people, they are loved. John has been married to Jilly since they were young and he still calls her the bride. The was the Main Event Concert, John and Livvie toured with Anthony Warlow for 3 months after he finished some nasty cancer treatment because that is who all 3 of them are. Anthony is Opera and our stage musicals star. If you want funny and really good watch John and Anthony sing Granada in this concert. First time I saw John sing Opera. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWfYqXmBoqiLeJo I loved your reaction, thank you.

[@OutOnThatLine]

thank you for this!! i love hearing about these intricate relationships between the performers. ONJ & Farnsey have such chemistry; I can't wait to see what happens when Anthony Warlow joins the mix!

[@brendonburgin5250]

Thank you for your really beautiful comments on these two icons of Australian music. Yes it was tragic that Olivia passed away she was a beautiful soul and she will be missed for years to come. John has such a unique voice he can hit those high notes with such ease it's unreal. This song was so gracefully sung by these two legends of music it was performed perfectly. Olivia you are missed but never will we forget what you gave us in song and in acting. Then we wish John all the best in his recovery and thank both of them for giving all of us such awesome entertainment over the years, thank you.

Their chemistry was magical, no doubt drawn from their lifelong friendship. Two professional artists who are confident enough in themselves that they saw no need to try to outshine each other, but rather support each other to put on such an amazing performance.

As you go on the journey you will discover not only his outstanding vocal ability, but also his passion for singing and performing. He put every thing into each and every performance and his relationship with his band, backup singers, audience and fans is evidence of the great love he has to offer.

John & Olivia were indeed really close friends from back in their teenage years performing on Australian TV in the 60’s….

[@AussieDebb]

I was watching you and just loved watching your facial expressions changing. They have been best friends for so long. ❤❤ This is the best reaction I've seen to this. John is just so fantastic with his high notes. It did him very hard when Livvie passed (as he called her). John was the lead in Charlie Girl when he was young and he has said he learnt a lot from that. He is a natural actor, comedian and performer. Just watch as much of him as you can. I would highly recommend the program "An Audience with John Farnham". It will help you get to know him more. He is so loved and respected over here in Australia. Keep up the great work OOTL xxx

[@MaverickAussie]

You said it perfectly.

[@bennine888]

They never had a history romantically. John has been married forever & a day to his wife Jill (never was that player or lived that rockstar life) Same for Olivia. But they certainly had a lifelong friendship of which we can all see how close. But not in a sleezy way. That kiss would have been done with absolute trust & for the moment. John gives it all in every performance rock, blues, opera, ballads, anything. He could sing the phone book & it would be just as captivating. People would pay to see him in live in anything. He even chose to do one of his last tours of Australia not just in Arena's in major cities. He travelled to outback cities, places no one knows & gave the whole country a chance to see him, enjoy him live before he semi-retired. My memory could be wrong but I think they even all travelled by train. He'd walk down the street & talk & joke with everyone just like any other normal bloke would. He has never put a foot wrong in any ones eyes. Sounds nuts to say so much about one artist but it's all true. You don't have to be a hardcore fan for every Australian to agree with that. Funnily enough as much as I loved John Farnham growing up I never REALLY appreciated all that he was until now. I guess we all took him for granted & thought musicians were all like him. We have it too good in Australia & are spoilt with an incredible music industry. I think it's why these Reaction videos have gotten so popular in Australia now. I think we're all experiencing the same thing. And, we've rarely had to share our best artists with the world because many of them had no desire to chase international success. They're not into a celebrity lifestyle, not after the fame. It's all about the music & the fans here. Most are all dedicated to their families & have no desire to travel overseas & spend long spurts away from them. A few like Inxs, Savage Garden, Kylie Minogue etc became more international acclaimed but that was all at a massive price for the most part for them. Savage Garden broke up not long after their breakthrough success & Michael Hutchence would likely still be alive today if it wasn't for the toll it all took on his life in the end. Any great Australian artists that you will be discovering all must be enjoyed (where possible) with live performances. Otherwise you won't do any of them justice. They don't need, nor desire autotune & tricks. Miming was never something here, even in live shows back in the 80's. John Farnham wouldn't agree to a performance if he couldn't do live. Loving everything you are picking up by every performance about these artists. Especially since these guys are all new to you & you've no details on them to go by. Your spot on.

Look up Hey, hey it's Saturday (show) forthe cast ensemble for Jesus Christ Superstar stage play musical... Farnsey played JC... they did "Everything's alright" on the show, he also did "Gethsemane" separate recording. Believe it or not Farnsey was not a trained voice, he did do a lot of rehearsing between performances. Concerts were a welcome fun time for him and his loyal accompanists. He tried the US at one time, the execs couldn't fit him in only one genre, wanted him to change to suit them, he missed his family so they and the US missed out.

We surely missed out on Farnsy over here. But wait, he's untrained? Holy moly...

[@continental_drift]

Nice thoughtful review.

[@OutOnThatLine]

thanks!!

[@unclegaz]

Watch the whole DVD mate....He also did an insan duo with Anthony Waloe at the same gig.

[@OutOnThatLine]

absolutely! i'll hunt it down.

[@SuzyTrippa]

Absolutely loved what you said, you were so spot on with everything you said... I'm a new subscriber! Keep up the great reactions..

[@OutOnThatLine]

Thank you! More Farnsy (and other Australian acts) to come!

[@doc6186]

Yep, react to Farnsey and us Aussies will come! Good job on this. They were/are still married to others. They were close friends. If you want Farnham in musical theatre - he played JC in Jesus Christ Superstar (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWbaoICQqaifnqs), and does tries some operatic tom-foolery with Anthony Warlow (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWfYqXmBoqiLeJo). FYI - Warlow played the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera in Australia.

Hi! I’ve just subscribed! Thank you for reacting to John and Olivia! Could I suggest Help with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and also Your the voice with the same Orchestra please! Also Granada with John Farnham and Anthony Warlow! I think you will enjoy this because there is some comedy included in it! Also we just recently lost my beloved Judith Durham from one of my FAVOURITE groups of the sixties, The Seekers! Please check them out when you have the time! They were AMAZING! Thank you! Peace and Blessings to you and your family from Australia.

[@OutOnThatLine]

Thanks for jumping in!! Granada is on my list for sure, and I'll add The Seekers (I love 60s music, so that's an easy sell for me). Geoff reacted to "Help!" on the channel, so feel free to check it out! Peace to you and yours!!

They were both young English immigrants that entered the Australian entertainment industry at a similar time...they have long-term friendship xdecades before this performance 🤔🤐

[@thespianist]

Such a shocking few months for fans of these two.... First Olivia dies of cancer 8/8/2022 and now with the announcement that John has been diagnosed with mouth cancer on 31/8/2022 and has had to have emergency surgery including removing part of his jaw bone........ 😢

[@OutOnThatLine]

RIP to ONJ and love and strength to Farnsy.

I understand we Filipinos can also do to Manny Pacquiao what the Aussies is for John Farnham. F.Y.I. Ms. Olivia Newtown John is also Australian but you probably researched that too.
