You are experiencing the joy that John has brought to us Aussies over the decades. We are so lucky to have him in our lives.

I went to a John’s concert in 2019 and he was 70 yrs old and was just as charismatic and his voice was just as powerful, and in my opinion better. I have seen John several times and each concert is a bucket list experience. It is wonderful to see other people experience the wonder that is Australia’s favourite son, “the voice”.

John Farhnam is Australias Greatest treasure.... The World is only just waking up to him..🙏🙏🙏

John has a skill to powerfully deliver the message in every song he performs . Every performance is Epic !

I worked at plenty of John Farnham concerts, as well as plenty of others. One thing I haven’t seen mentioned anywhere is that a Farnsy concert only had the volume turned up to about 7, compared to 10 for any other concert. This is also another big reason for his multi generational appeal.

It's a long way to the top, is a great one to watch live of course. Always watch every minute of the entertainment, John puts so many different actions into his performances. Brilliant!

This is one of my favourite of John’s. The messages in his songs about looking after our world and his spreading of good will contributed to him being named Australian of the Year in our bicentennial year 1988. As well as him putting his hand up for fundraising concerts to support his fellow Australians on so many occasions. He is awesome.

I was lucky enough to see 5 or 6 of John's concerts, including one with the MSO. As you're learning, there is no one better, Live, and, even though you go for John, he surrounds himself with the best backup singers and band.

I’m a 72 old man so I’ve heard all of JF music, I agree with you every time I’m feeling down, I listen to Johns music and he fills me with a feeling that I can only describe as happiness. There’s so many songs like, I can do anything, Your the reason, Touch of Paradise, listen to the Wind, See the banners fall, and so many more, like you Burn for you, I lost my wife recently and Debbie loved her music, listening to John somehow makes me feel her presence 💕music is a wonderful gift and John delivers every time.

Just to think that no one was prepared to offer him a record deal, is Earth shattering. And his manager had so much faith in him that he remortgage his own home to be able to fund the finance pyjamas be able to perform and have a record, how crazy is. Thank God for his manager Glenn Wheatley.

That song about your fellow man is called "in day's to come" great song.

I can see why you're glad you haven't missed out on this. His voice and performances are medicine for the soul 💖

Farnsey’s concerts are legendary. I know because I’ve been to a few. You see what he puts into one song, well just multiply that by 2 1/2 hours of non stop high energy entertainment. I’m just sorry I missed the one with the MSO. John’s never retired because he just loves doing what he does, and his millions of fans have continued to follow him over the years. This was one of John’s many big hits. He’s the GOAT.💕

Everyone is asked to react to Help or You’re The Voice first both live at the same concert. I think so you can see what he is capable of and he is capable of so much more. I think most of his songs went to number one. The Whispering Jack Album couldn’t be moved by Michael Jackson. It was number one for more than 6 months. John’s manager Glenn Wheatley got a call from the Company that handled Michael Jackson here. He told Glenn he had the album so could he move John out of the way. Glenn told him he knew that he couldn’t do that and that guy said no to signing John so Glenn as his best friend first was a lot happy about that call. No one in Australia or America would sign John. Glenn put his home and and everything he owned up to make that album. Then no radio station would listen to it or play it but Glenn got it heard until enough of us heard it and demanded they play it. The night the voice hit number one Glenn was driving John somewhere. Glenn said can you believe we are number one three times so he looked at John and he was crying. That meant Glenn wouldn’t lose everything and he would have money for his family, they both would. John has always been kind and you will find many more songs to love. I am still finding songs I have never heard before. There is no genre he cannot sing that I have found so far. I was surprised to find a Country music song about 6 months ago and I thought this will be the one. It was amazing and John has spent most of his time on a horse with his family at home. Then there was Opera with Anthony Warlow at the Main Event Concert live singing Granada. I don’t love Opera and this is an older John but he is funny and silly, you will learn more of who he really is. Anthony had just gone through some rough cancer treatment so Olivia Newton John came home and toured with them both for three months. Livvie was always a big cancer supporter since she lost her sister. She always came home for her cancer walk each year to make money for her Cancer Wellness centre. It is in Melbourne and it is for anyone with cancer to go to and feel better. Not like a Hospital, she had a retreat near her home here too. She didn’t make her last walk but one of the nieces she raised did. All three of these performers have always been all heart. I love hearing John sing Gethsemane in the musical, Jesus Christ Superstar. I hate that I never got to see it live. I love that I did get to see him live in other concerts. Have you seen John say why he wrote Burn for You? Three of them on tour wrote a verse each to their wives. Thank you.

Happy is exactly how John Farnham makes me feel. His performances are magic, electric. His band and backing singers all have amazing personal musical pedigrees. The talent on that stage is phenomenal. I watch the video clips on KZfaq daily - can't get enough. Jan'24. UK. E ❤.

Thank you for your reaction, enjoyment and appreciation of our phenomenal Aussie treasure, John Farnham. Now you know why I have loved him and his amazing band for 50+ years. You have many more hit songs of his to discover, in many different music genres, from the last 5 decades!

Another thing that should be, is all his backup singers and all his band, and on occasion orchestral music people adore him that work so hard to make sure everything is in sync to get the best out of every performance.

Check out “John Farnham & Richard Marx: The reason why” on the 1994 ARIA awards. It’s a lovely ballad. There’s about 3 mins of banter at the start which gives you an insight to his personality.

As an Aussie, it's one of the regrets of my life that I never went to a John Farnham concert. But thanks to great reactions like this one, I'm living through them. Love the man.

John is one of the greatest singers of all time and his music will last forever and his messages still speaks to us today ❤ I grew up listening to his music

Age of Reason is probably my favourite Farnham song. The original recorded version absolutely sparkles, and the lyrics are as relevant today as they were in 1988.

Please do yourself a massive favour and watch John's live version of All In Love Is Fair (written by Stevie Wonder). It is stunningly sublime. The purity of his amazing voice sends chills down my spine. Thankyou for your great reactions to our beloved John.

True words. Every single song will grow on you eventually. If not for his amazing distinctive voice and his ability to connect but also almost every song has a great message. This song was actually another number 1 hit for him. It topped the charts for weeks. From the Album of the same name which was his 13th Studio album and was also his second highest selling album with 11 x Platinum after whispering Jack 24 x Platinim. It's just that John has so many great performances that we are spoilt for choices. Everyone has their favourite so they just come out first. Seriously you have still only scraped the very tip of the huge iceburg of Farnham performances. One of my less know favourites is Let Me Out...also from that same concert. I hope you'll check that one out sometime

Not crazy at all✊he is legendary .. 🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺

Thank you for this one. I had forgotten how important the message from this is, especially today. How can we fail to see that what we need is an age of reason? I have seen many concerts: Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac, Celine Dion, Tom Jones, Cat Stevens, Bette Midler, Elton John, Neil Diamond, so many others. There are two that were head and shoulders above all these John Farnham, Simon&Garfunkel. John: passion, pitch, power=perfection.

“Careful John!” Another heart felt reaction, you totally get it ❤️

I love this man so much, not in love with him, but I love his talent, his voice is extraordinary is charisma, always entertaining, I never skips a beat, always on point. Love❤ always to you Me John Farnham . Loved you since I was around 12 or 13 and now I'm 63 , it's been many years you have kept a smile on my face and shown me how much pleasure music being sung the way you do it can truly be appreciated and loved.

I just want to hug him and hold to him like a long lost brother. He is a truly beautiful humble human being. 😊😊❤

The AgeOf Reason not to be confused with “Reasons” another great John Farnham song. Also “Angles” , “When this War is Over” , “Hearts on Fire” , “That’s Freedom”

,best all round singer. Greatest ever.

Probably one of his greatest hits

John's first hit was back in the 60's, Sadie the Cleaning Lady and One, worth a listen.

His voice is a touch of paradise. Highly recommend looking this song up

Welcome to a special guy, with a special heart, and an incomparable voice, that will never be equaled. John evokes such emotion, and takes you away in your imagination. How lucky are we Aussies though? Thank you for this song by THE VOICE.

It's all thanks to the internet really..We Aussies are so proud of John and that people like you are listening to him..Thanks

John Farnham played Jesus in the rock musical Jesus Christ Superstar. You should check that out. Sensational.

I'm just like you man. In a way. I actually heard John on the radio growing up but nothing registered in my head what I was listening to. Now in my 40's I'm realising how incredible he is and how powerful his songs are. So many songs just hit me now deep inside. Better late than never as they say.

Age Of Reason is actually John Farnham second most successful song under You’re The Voice . Age Of Reason another Australian number 1 it was to be John’s last number 1 song in 1988 . Age Of Reason spent a month at number 1 . Apparently Age Of Reason is his personal favourite out of his songs .

John is a beautiful, humble amazing human being. He is loved in Australia because his music and the power of his voice is something very special. He has great people backing his vocals and his love for them and his fans, is something to behold. Find his Romeo's Heart album. I love it and there is so much love in the songs on this album, it makes my heart sing with him. ❤

I went to quite a few of John's concerts and he was so entertaining and very funny

John is a relative of mine....here in Australia here is revered asa feeling of how to communicate better, great horse rider, also comedian and all round regular bloke...happy to be part of it here

Sublime song, such a great reaction 😍. You gave me such a beautiful appreciation of the words, "is kindness an ancient skill" brought tears to my eyes 👌

There's something very conversational about this song, the sound is so big and the incredible lyric and phrasing invites you in. As John says "David Hirschfelder, ladies and gentlemen."

Kool mate , if Johns songs don’t smack you over the head straight away they will continually grow on you for ever more 😮

Thanks heaps for the reaction bro. If you love burn for you, you gotta check out “a touch of paradise” from this same concert. It’s such a beautiful song

Yeah ave a look at these angels live 2000 version with John Farnham and Lisa Edwards also this shows John Aussie larrikin never forgotten he's roots Also amazing grace with venetta fields and Lindsay fields this is one of the best versions all sole All these he sings with are his long term back up singers who he gives front stage You might like Chain Reaction This you'll like guaranteed A Touch Of Paradise Try When the war is over Try this John Farnham with Oliver newton John Don't Ask Me The chemistry between them is something you must see and experience These should keep you happy for a while Still massive amounts to go cheers 👍🦘🇦🇺

Age of Reason is such a great song. One of his best in my opinion. I just love the bass giving it a pulse all the way through the song. Fantastic!

Just love this I love his songs have meaning

Ive just watched this reaction again CV. You have joined the Farnham family and you have been welcomed in with Johns love and warmth that just spreads to everyone who hears him. ❤❤

BTW, I’ve seen him live 5 times, including the duet with Jimmy. Those 5 concerts occurred over a period of 21 years. HE NEVER FADED. The last in 2010 was as good as the first in 1989.

We are all better for having heard Farnsey!

Apart from Johns' great music he is the nicest guy when you meet him. No airs totally just a really nice man...

It's not crazy. John brings joy with all his music. His talent and connection with his audiences and his appreciation for his band and passion that he puts into his performance are brilliant. Burn for you is one of my favourites also. Oh, I'll join you on that time travel trip (we'll have to find a TARDIS)... John Farnham with the MSO; Queen at Live Aid; ACDC at River Plate, Argentina; Cold Chisel the Ringside Tour; Midnight Oil at Ellis Park South Africa; Phil Collins in Paris & Led Zeppelin somewhere & Fleetwood Mac ...so many more. Great reaction, mate

One of my favourites from John. "Age of Reason"♥️♥️

Yep my favorite of John's songs

OK here's some more John songs for you.. 1. Its a long way to the top.. his version of an ACDC classic rock song,and it must be the live version with The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (white shirt concert). 2. When The War Is Over.. his version of a classic Cold Chisel rock song.. live of course(I think black shirt) 3. Please Don't Ask Me.. from The Main Event Concert, duet with Olivia Newton John( in a suit and a lot older) 4. Amazing Grace.. Live duet with his back up singer Vendetta Field 5. Comic Conversation.. any version 6. John as Jesus in 'Jesus Christ Superstar'.. Any song Just a few.. Have fun 🥴😁👌

You should watch him do 'loves in need'. Amazing

Pressure Down great song from John Farnham

You found the rabbit hole 🐰. Very deep and so so entertaining 😊🎶✌️

Yeah, man, you’re not wrong with that top 3. Even 10 years ago the last time I saw John live, he was breathtaking!

Nah I get it...we recognise the gift that he is....and are grateful.

It’s Captures your heart

Your happiness is infectious Cv, I love how you love John

Great reaction as always. There was actually a Coke commercial with this song in it. You have only touched the sides discovering John’s amazing talent. There are still sooo many great songs to go. Some of the less talked about like Please Don’t Ask Me, Reasons, We’re no Angels, and then there’s the Little River Band era too. I can’t remember if you’ve reacted to any of them yet but they’re brilliant. Reminiscing, Down on the Border, We Two, The Other Guy. Here’s the Coke commercial. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gdKembp-mai6oIU.html

I'm glad you are watching these little jems

The soundtrack of our Gen x youth❤️🇦🇺 love your respectful, thoughtful, caring reactions.👍🏼

Thunder in your heart or Break the ice sung by John Farnham

Listen to Amazing Grace with Vanetta Fields and Lysdsay Field best version I have ever heard. No surprise no matter he sings it's amazing

For me when I first heard this on the radio back in 1988, I had to have the cd. I went out and bought the CD straight away and played it to death. One of the rare John Farnham songs that I like the studio version equally as much as live versions.

One of my faves

Great review; I'm so glad you've had the opportunity to experience this legendary performer: The Voice!

For me It's 'Love to Shine' that nobody gives enough credit to, of Farnsey's.

There is only one...Thank you !

Burn for you is my fav❤

John Farnham is still around singing strong as ever aged in his 70's. Unfortunate he is currently recovering from throat cancer& jaw reconstruction

Every Australian loves join , join the club lol

More you hear the songs you will keep saying the same thing. They will grow on you. Know what you mean about the phones back in the day you were in the moment enjoying yourself for me phones suck the life out of concerts nowadays and people worry more about taking g videos and pictures rather than be in the concert 100 percent and miss out on a lot of the enjoyment of it. Comic conversion is a beautiful song. When the war is over another great one, Reasons, have a little faith,hearts on fire. Farnsey Fan 🇬🇧 🇬🇧

His song "Sleepless Nights" from Little River Band's album The Net... is another that is will grab you!

I'm waiting I've got 18 minutes it says before you premier that song,. Age of reason you're going to love that

Also in the same concert, there's a political song called 'In days to come' u definitely need to react to. It has Martin Luther King Jr "All men are reacted equal" in it.

One of the best songs ever.

LOVE this song.... but he could sing the telephone book and I'd love it 💕

Hirschfelder is the greatest! 🎹

When something is true….it transcends. ❤❤❤❤ BTW…the bass tho.

Pray for John farnham through his cancer of his jaw. John is British by birth.

Great reaction to an amazing tune. Bro that moment at 06:55 i have the same feeling everytime. Honestly thought about it (stoned) and that chorus is super optimistic, melodic and those vocals make that part soar. Come to the 06:55, complete mood change. Those background vocals! Sombre tone in the voice and lyrics to really hit home what the message is all about. It's the part that sticks out the most for me in the tune. Love your work bruv.

He sings "in day's to come" at this concert.

It was that good back then and it still sounds just as good!

Great reactions, young man. Thank you

He’s good on a horse to he does barrel races on horse

For me, that's "Angels". Can't get it out of my head (ok, I'm not trying hard).

You should check out that whole concert its amaxing . Love your reactions to johnx

this song was a no.1 single

Great review.....

The Age Of Reason Cd is really good

Sorry I got mixed up , I thought you were doing end of days, which is about black and white , great song with meaning. But you said in 16 hours you going to be playing Age of reason you're going to love this performance to I actually love this performance of Age of reason, is a couple of others where he does that song in different settings , but this is the better version.

A-mazing!! Thanks ❤

I second the motion

Don’t know if many from the album Romeo’s Heart made it big, but I love that album

Another good review cv, i have missed a couple of your vids do im playing catch up buddy👍😊🦘🇭🇲 greetings from Australia mate👍🇭🇲🦘😊😎
