John is The Voice of Australia. Best male singer for 6 decades.

The man is consistently flawless. You will never see another like him. 🤘😎😢

John Farnham is the GOAT, he is always better live as he feeds off his audience. He is a complete entertainer. His humour, humanity, his love of his band and audience is legendary. Any song from this concert is amazing!

Yep, I came here to say the same. Saw him live a few times, back in the day. His interaction with his audience, humour and respect and love he has for his back up singers and band makes him a brilliant, all round entertainer. Plus, he is just a really nice bloke. What you see is who he is! Hope he makes a full recovery and is able to enjoy his, hopefully, many years left with his lovely family and friends.

Adding my voice to your watching Help, live with the MSO. You will NOT see a better live performance anywhere. John is The Voice. And an Aussie icon.

John is the greatest Aussie singer of all time, He is known as the voice in Aussie, The only way to watch John is live he’s a great performer on stage, I think his greatest is it’s a long way to the top with MSO in Melbourne, he redid help the Beatles song

He chose not to go international for family reasons. 4) He’s sung with Tom Jones, Ray Charles, Celine and more. Look forward to more from you guys thank you for this reaction.

Hi Dr_kap, just a question. When did John Lennon say he liked" Help" by John Farnham. John Lennon was killed in 1980. Is there version of Help by Farnsy before1980???

John migrated to Melbourne, Australia with his family when he was ten. He was singing in bands from the age of fourteen. He became an Australian citizen and was awarded the Order Of Australia for his services to the Australian music industry. He has a powerful, clear and totally in tune voice of a number of octaves and sings in over twenty different genres. He is well- loved by Australians and they are with him all the way in his wonderful sell-out, many times over, concerts. A number of his songs have a message for the greater good of the world. He is the consummate, charismatic showman.

Heard John sing this a couple of years ago at the age of 70 and his voice was just as powerful!

John could still belt out a song right up until his cancer diagnosis. His voice was as strong as ever at age 72. Aussies best ever singer. We all hope he has a good recovery and will still be able to sing. We are very proud of him.👏👏👏

I may be remembering incorrectly, but I think when John first got hold of this song, he asked for the bagpipe solo. The original recording was entirely synthesised except for the bagpipes ... and then they inadvertently forgot to credit him on the album. This guy is wearing Australia's tartan and John always showcases his fellow artists ... you are right! He is a great singer but is also incapable of singing a bad note ... anything from this concert will blow your minds! He does a legendary cover of the Beatles "Help" to close the show! Then there's the rest of his catalogue! He covers "Black DOg" and sings with other legends including Queen, Ray Charles and Tom Jones. He and Tom did a whole series together. The entire nation is sending him love right now as he gets through this huge health challenge! You're also right that life is unfair! The greatest vocalist on the planet should never be afflicted with mouth cancer. He has had to have his jaw reconstructed at 73 and may never sing again! He gave us plenty and we just want him happy and healthy! Get well Farnsey!

@Carmel McShanag Hello and thanks for the great comment. We will be back with more from John soon.

Brilliant performance, and well done, guys. John will never sing again, (mouth cancer) but his legend status will live forever. As others will say, 'Help' is his best, but anything he does, especially with Jimmy Barnes, is the bomb. Check out their duet "When something is wrong with my Baby."

Awesome reaction BP1 AND BP2. Great to see you react to not just the greatest voice in Australia but one of the greatest of all time and one of the very few performers who is blessed to sound even better live than recorded. John never missed a note and has perfect pitch. His interaction with the audience is amazing to watch live. The Voice and several of his other hits were big in the UK and Europe but no where near as well known as he is in Aus. He was still performing until fairly recently and his voice was still amazing and could still hit those high notes with ease. Sadly with his current treatment for cancer in his jaw, it's unlikely he will ever perform live again and the whole of Australia is behind him wishing him the best outcome. There are literally hundreds of great live performances of John available on the internet so this proud Aussie is hoping that you will check out a lot more from this Aussie Icon. Any thing from that same concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is a great start. Try HELP, That's Freedom, It's a Long way to the Top (ACDC cover), Age of Reason, Take the Pressure Down. Cheers from Aus!!

This song was released circa 1986... Three years later, crowds of tens of thousands were chanting it on both sides of the Berlin Wall as they witnessed its fall. Many of those who were there still tear-up upon hearing this timeless classic today

And nearly 40 years later people STILL go wild when the bagpipes play, an iconic part of the song and still best listened to live!

The Man The Legend, beautiful voice power and passion. This is not a song its an Anthem. The unofficial Australian National Anthem that more than just an entire Country know all the words to. I am Canadian and I will stand for this man singing this song. Much RESPECT!!!!!!

After the bagpipe solo, John didn't just throw the mic stand.....he tossed it high in the air and caught it(this time). He often did that at the same point in the song.

Careful gents! The Farnsey rabbit hole goes HELLA DEEP!

This song was John's "return" from the wilderness. After years of success on the "pop" scene (and some musical theatre) radios wouldn't play his music. His manager mortgaged his house to help finance the production and - voila - John's anthem came into being and resulted in a huge hit locally and internationally and suddenly all the radio stations were playing John Farnham again. Hit after hit followed with him performing umpteen rounds of concerts through into the 2000s. John was tagged as "The Voice" in Australia and no one argues that he isn't. Great singer, great performer, great human being. Get will John.

His cover of the Beatles 'HELP' from the same live series is truly one of the greatest live tunes ever. - You think you know that song - you don't.

What a lot of people don't realise, is that John can also sing Opera. I used to work as a sound engineer at EMI Records Australia & he often, during his rehearsals & recording breaks, he sings Nessum Dorma, Vesti La Giubba & Celeste Aida. Three of the more famous Tenor Operatic Aria's.

We grew up with John Farnham on our TVs and wirelesses from 1967. He is the soundtrack to our Aussie lives and he is just fantastic live singing any genre you can think of.

John Farnham is an amazing live performer who also has a wicked sense of humour.

John is the greatest Aussie singer and one of the best live singers in the World

Farnsey is a living legend here in Oz. The man is known as the voice because he is the voice.❤

Don’t call John or my husband a Brit. They both moved here as kids. John became a Citizen really fast in the 80’s when he found he was about to be awarded Australian of the year. He was 70 last time I heard him sing and he sounded just like that. Now you need to hear him sing Help live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. It might be a Beatles song but John shows them how to sing it. John had number one hits in 5 consecutive decades. The Voice is our Legend and I have not seen any genre he cannot sing yet. I saw a part of an interview tonight with his sons. John is blown away that Australia are with him and love him. He thought he was forgotten and that will never happen. Not with reactors and us listening. He has given us more than 50 years of music and it is enough. God loves you John, as much as Australia does so get well. ❤ Thank you.

We went to see the late Whitney Houston in Australia when she was at her peak john was the support act .Whitney later said "it's best if we don't share the same show I don't want to come on after hearing that voice.,"

There’s a lot of singers out there but none come close to John. His voice is powerful. It’s unique. Sending love and good vibes to John and his family 💕💕

I saw John in 2019 and the concert was amazing, even in his 70’s his voice is still as strong and powerful.

Love you guys doing this one. Please give a listen to “Help” from the same concert. Talk about a banger, Johns voice is iconic 💕💕🎶🎶🦋

Anything live by John is brilliant. He can sing so many genres of music. He can sing a soft Ballard to full on rock. Please react to more of him, please please.

First time hearing John Farnham. What a voice. He is incredible. Can't wait for you to do more reactions to his music. As I was listening I immediately thought I've got to go look for more of his music but I will wait and join in with your reactions. Love you guys. Thanks for sharing the joy.😃🤗

Like bagpipes with a rock band? Check out ACDC performing "Long way to the top" on the back of a truck moving through Melbourne CBD followed by a pipe band 😄

I was at that concert in '88 guys and I can tell you it was even more powerful a performance than what you are seeing on video. The 80's was an incredible time for music, especially for John Farnham. I would go back there again in the blink of an eye to be at this concert again. John Farnham was, is and will always be 'The Voice' to us fans in Australia.

John Farnham does his best Live. I've been to his concerts. I have CDS but nothing he does better than Live. He is "The Voice ".

Loved your reactions guys...'liked' and 'subscribed. You can't go wrong if you view all the songs from this concert. John never gives a bad performance he leaves it all on the stage. An Aussie Legend. Waiving from Australia 🙃

There have been a number of famous international artists do a live version with John on stage including Celine Dion and Coldplay. Most recently, 24 September’22, Robbie Williams who was the headline pre-game entertainer at the AFL Grand Final sang it as a tribute to John who is currently recovering from cancer surgery. Not a single Aussie doesn’t know this song

One of the american reactors was blown away, that the orchestra was not covering for a bad voice here, but rather complimenting his talent.

At 8:12 he throws the mic stand in the air. 2 seconds later catches it, then shortly after throws it away again. Most people seem to see the throw away, but many apparently miss the initial toss in the air. The dude is coordinated!

Love your channel. You guys have to see John Farnham Live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra singing “Playing To Win”. I guarantee you’ll be blown away!

He had a bit of the same trajectory as Olivia Newton John: a British born Aussie who emerged in the 60s. Of course she moved to the US and became ONJ with the whole world, while John had some hard times after leaving Little River Band, before he had glorious comeback with this monster hit in 1986. Apparently they were friends, but it was later in their lives that they actually got to sing together, (in the 90s and later, I think - and of course at the 2000 Sydney Olympics). And now he’s fighting cancer, literally weeks after she passed. The two of them are probably the universally most loved artists in Australia. And this song might just as well have been their national anthem. John Farnham-era Little River Band is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. If nothing else, their Playing To Win is a bonafide 80s banger.

A little extra info, away from the stage John had a property where he bred Quarter horses and was a quarter horse trainer & master rider. Anything from that period with the MSO is great, especially It's a long Way to the Top if You Want to Rock and Roll and Help. Either Paul McCartney or John Lennon (different reports) said that John's slower version was their preferred version for the song but they were outvoted. He also does amazing light opera, rock, romantic duets, stage musicals, there is nothing "The Voice" can't sing spectacularly. He is also the nicest of human beings. Enjoy!!

Yes yes he’s the voice and all that, but his microphone stand game is also second to none. Playing to Win from the Acoustic Chapel Sessions is more recent than this and is a great demo of how well his voice stood up to the test of time. Fun fact: I have been the piper in that song for John a number of times

He was so big here in Aus, that I’d be willing to guess that every Aussie millennial knows the words to this song.

One of the greatest rock anthem songs in history and is the unofficial Aussie national anthem.

you boys must listen to the words here, we are playing this song all over Australia today, we are tough, strong we stand tall, we WILL take back our land, we WILL take back our FREEDOM, we are the VOICE

John is a legend here, and having seen him live 7 times I can attest to that. You're the Voice is an anthem here..........He actually tossed the mic stand into the air and catches it before he discards it, watch.

Farnsey is an Australian national treasure despite the fact he was a refugee from Pomgolia , his live performances are always better than his recordings and they are spectacular . His musicians and backup singers are all recognised performers here in AUS and his shows which included banter with the audience who sang along at any given chance were an experience you will never forget, his tribute cover of the Beatles song HELP is his most reacted to performance on U TUBE so I suggest you check it out , but he has dozens of songs and all of them are amazing , my favourites are PLAYING TO WIN , WHEN THE WAR IS OVER , ANGELS , and if you want to be blown away check out his version of ACDC's LONG WAY TO THE TOP from this same concert everyone on stage is involved as is most of the audience it truly is something to behold and will show you pomgahnistanies what we Aussies enjoy on a regular basis .

Great reaction fellas. I agree with all the suggestions below. Go down that rabbit hole.

this is going to be an eye opener for you Brit Pops.

The bagpipes were John's idea. He suggested them as he felt the song was missing something at that point.

Such is the world wide respect for John Farnham that Robbie Williams who recently performed at the AFL grandfinal (australian football) sung 'Your the voice' as a tribute to him. The crowd loved it. well worth a watch.

He moved to Australia at age 10 to Melbourne (pronounced Melb'n) with his family but if U hear Farnsey talk you'd have no idea he was born & lived in England for the first 10 years of his life. He's as yobbo as yobbo even bogan like when he talks, with a typical Aussie sense of humour which the majority of the world don't understand our sense of humour. He's extremely funny, very quick witted & a very smartarse sense of humour. Farnsey, just like his great mate Jimmy Barnes or Barnsey as we call him, are loved & cherished by all Aussie's young & old, male & female.

We did You're The Voice one year in my school choir for the annual school concert and my friend played the bagpipe solo. She jokingly said to me, "this is the one and only time in my life that this hobby will be cool". 😂😂

Well now we all know this song is prophetic in 2024

He was still doing this stuff when he was 70+ ... what an instrument he had.

Well, it's not often that I get in early on a reaction, what with the five hour time difference, but I did on this one! And what a song! It must be the problems of getting foreign songs into the US market, but I had never heard this song or heard of John. He was great, the song was great! You can't beat a full on symphony orchestra for power when they really bring it. Having played in large concert bands and a (small) orchestra, I understand the dynamics between musicians and conductor, and how important that is. I could see it in this piece, the work was done in rehearsal. If it all works, the conductor gives the down beat and the machine takes off. The audience doesn't realize what went into it. I would have loved to see the rehearsals, they are always more interesting than the performance
