First Time Hearing John Farnham - Gethsemane Live Song Reaction! Fantastic! Jesus Christ Superstar!

[@AussieDebb]

Oh John is phenomenal in this whole production. The whole cast was. They were originally supposed to do about 12 concerts in Australia and ended up having to do over 90 in 3 months and grossed $40M - a lot of money in 1992. Jon Stevens who played Judas was just incredible and Kate Ceberano played a wonderful Mary Magdalene. The cast had so much respect and admiration for John's skills, versatility, work ethic, and mentoring of the younger cast members, especially and he had so much respect for them. Thanks so kuch Shawn for fantastic reaction. ❤🎉😊

Great info super appreciate it Debb!

[@rickandersen2284]

I don't think anybody will ever better this performance.

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

Would be VERY hard to!

[@AussieDebb]

@@rickandersen2284 Ditto Rick 😊

[@FionaEm]

Definitely his best, IMO 😊

[@justlinsu]

John was absolutely mesmerising! Give all his emotions free reign Vocally unmatched.... this was one of the best JCS I had seen and I've seen quite a few lol. The silence at the end from the audience...was awesome...one could hear a pin drop... Loved your analysis and kind words. Thanks so much for this .... Doc KAP is the best there is....she is saving all the precious videos and restoring them God bless her work

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

He is just incredible. Such a great discovery for me thanks to this channel. Appreciate your kind words and you watching!

[@jemxs]

Haha Shawn speechless 😂 Yes John does a fantastic job at this performance, not an easy song to sing yet he is so effortless!

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

Yes as usual he is great!

[@heatherwickstead7980]

Another great example of John putting everything into a performance- perfection!❤

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

Very well-said! Thanks Heather!

[@larainesmith2631]

This was my first experience watching Jesus Christ Superstar but I can’t imagine this being done better by anyone else. John met his wife doing the musical “Charlie Girl” so he had previously performed in a musical. Outstanding

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

Ya I don't know how it could be done better!

[@tracek5546]

Thanks Shawn, 😊 it's such a beautiful piece. The emotion John gives just absolutely makes this ❤

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

Great suggestion!

[@mssuziquzi]

I was at that concert and John’s performance was absolutely riveting. He truly is the most amazingly versatile singer on the planet.❤

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

Oh wow that had to be awesome!

[@joanmonaghan8428]

Saw this production in Brisbane. It was superb. Decades later I still remember how good it was.

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

I can only imagine! Jealous!

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Arguably Johns greatest vocal performance

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

Tough one to call on that for sure. Very well could be I will leave that to those who know way more than I! Thanks for watching!

[@Bobbygirl63]

Thank you for your wonderful reaction to our legend. I went and saw this production twice, and both times, I was blown away and cried when John sang this. His vocals both times were out of this world. To me, he really is the greatest singer in the whole world. John is the goat!!

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

He is just simply incredible AND it had to be great to see live!!!

[@AussieDebb]

@@Bobbygirl63 Love our John and his fans - here's to you Bobby ❤️

[@janita444]

The amount of emotion that he's able to transmit with his voice is just insane... and his vocal perfection is out of this world too, he really is one of a kind. I can't imagine this could be done any better

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

Well-said!!

[@Jojomac-ix7oi]

John's performance in this was so mesmerising. Although I've never seen this live, I have watched the whole production on youtube, and it is sooooo good. Thank you Shawn, for finally reacting to it. It was worth the wait. ❤❤😊

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

He is incredible no doubt about it! Appreciate you watching!

[@Act0rJSB]

Another great one. Hoping Trace will bring you John doing When the War is Over real soon...

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

I have had a ton of suggestions for that one, with the AIR endorsement sounds like I need to get to it!

[@kethlyfallon5095]

Super special is exactly the right description thanks for reacting to John ❤

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

Always my pleasure and trust me I don't hand out praise like that very often!

[@narellesmith7932]

Yep ❤

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

Thanks for watching!

[@jenniferroberts6093]

This man is nothing sort of being a Master,simply brilliant in a class of his own

[@annettelane]

Those gasps

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

Thanks for watching! He is amazing!

[@heathcornbeef]

Only one more sleep 😴 hopefully 11.25 pm 😞 AOTEAROA SKA FESTIVAL 💥💥💥. I'M NOT EXCITED AT ALL 😊😅😂 . Tori isn't going but my mate Bin is driving up to Auckland and going to pick me up at Tori's mums 👍 . Get to go to the gig in style black 2013 Holden VF SSV redline commodore wagon 6 ltr V8. It's a BEAST 💪 and me and bin both like to take the piss out of each other and ourselves guaranteed Laughs we don't take offence sometimes the gate 😂 some people don't get it and think we don't like each other much and we play along with it 😂 the looks people give are FUNNY AS 😂

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

Got to have fun and super happy you aren't going alone!!

[@cathmoore2511]

Look up John singing Old McDonald Has A Farm ...it's the best

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

haha i have to check that out. Thanks!

[@heathcornbeef]

Words are only noise they can't hurt you if you don't take them seriously. Me and Bin have been called a few things over the years and we both give the same answer WE MUST HAVE MET BEFORE 😮😅😂. People don't know how to react they've just tried to insult you and you've agreed with them with a smile 😁. I just don't give a rat's backside what people call me 😊 rant rant dribble slobber 🤤🤪😵‍💫

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

I don't either, never have! I think we are lucky in that because almost everyone does which I can understand but so difficult as most others are only pleased with you if you are serving some sort of purpose for THEM!

[@Mel-lm1kf]

That was a great reaction snd performance! Thank you for doing it! I”d love to see you, react to Dan Vasc singing it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ60ZmeQbZeLb68si=UeFE-3CZZBwH-g5Q

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

[@GiseleLeclerc]

he not as good as the Jesus in the movie

[@AussieDebb]

@@GiseleLeclerc Bit hard to compare a live performance with studio produced movie. I loved the movie - saw it quite a few times, had the record too. But nothing compares to John live - he is the G.O.A.T. When you have Celine Dion saying John is the voice, Freddy Mercury, Richard Marx, Tom Jones and others saying he has the best vocals and he can sing any genre. He has had no lessons - it's just raw natural talent. He has performed for 60 years and I would encourage you to watch more of his music. He is also a nice bloke, with no ego issues and genuinely loves his fans and his band. Love you John ♥️ You're missing out if you don't listen to more of him. 🥰

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

Thanks for Watching!
