JF always acknowledges his band genuinely. He is humble and never the diva💖

John makes any cover of any song his very own. Once you know John sings a song you just know nobody else in the world can sing it on that level

❤😊 THE G.O.A.T. THE VOICE

They are actually all part of his band, as well as his backing vocalists. I saw John many times live here in Australia and he NEVER disappointed. A legend here in Australia.

I played this until the grooves wore out when Stevie's Songs in The Key of Life was released in the mid seventies. It takes a great vocalist to cover anything Stevie did. This blows my mind.

As a musician, I can only stand and applaud the perfect tone of every note by every singer in this song⚡️⚡️👍⚡️⚡️ Plus those three notes runs John slips in are so hard to hit from the note he jumps off from. It was great to hear you recognise the world class standard. Because you lucky Americans have had a huge amount of access to live blues sounds that’s not poss to hear in Ox. And you obviously are so experienced. So what a compliment! Again I might mention how surprised visiting top musicians are when they hear our local talent. You’re top dog IMHO 👍

That gave me chills! The only thing better than John Farnham singing on his own is John singing with his whole band. World class 👏 👌 🙌

A great line up to introduce his full band! (minus Brett Garsed and Chong Lim - they come in later) [l-r] Lindsay Field (BV Guitar) [singing doo-doo-doos] , Jack Jones (Guitar Vocals), David Hirschfelder (MD Keys), Steve Williams, (Harp/Sax), Venetta Fields (BV), JOHN, Chuck McKinney (BV), Lisa Edwards (BV), Angus "the Mongrel" Burchall (Drums), Wade Nelson (B Guitar), Phil Buckle (Guitar) Thanks for this reaction - just shows you how brilliant he is! (how musical they all are) CHOOKAS! 💖 PS A pity this clip didn't play longer cos he actually goes into singing "Sadie" 😁 (the song that started his career in 1968 ... and we never let him forget it! 😝) PPS John's still in rehab but looking forward to going home soon!

That man can master any kind of genre .To perfektion. He never stops surprising you. I hope to see him on stage again soon. 73 yo. But still mindblowingly good.

There are moments there he is doing a perfect imitation of aspects of Stevie's voice, mastery.

Master performer, also his background group is amazing wow so great 😍😍😍😍😎😎

Absolutely sublime, I remember being at this show in Sydney in the 90's, I've never forgotten it, it was pure perfection. Of all the Farnham shows we were privileged to see this IMHO was the best. The songs performed, the level of musicianship and the vocal talent on that stage was second to none. I feel such joy to know that FINALLY John and these incredible musicians are starting to receive the level of recognition they so richly deserve. Kudos to you Dominic for continuing to showcase this extraordinary Aussie talent. Cheers

one thing john always dose is acknowledges the great singers and artists in his band

Wow I hadn’t seen this before either, absolutely magnificent. 💕💕

This is so incredible. John and his band - they love and respect each other soooo much and it shows in their performance. 🎉🎉🎉

Yep, Mr. John Farnham is AMAZING!!!!

I have been waiting for you to hear this one. Isn't amazing, we really were lucky that John stayed here, because we've had this joy for decades now. 🎼🎵❤️🇦🇺

BEAUTIFUL - BRAVO !!!!

I was lucky enough to see John and Stevie share the stage in Adelaide. It saddens me that Americans missed John at his peak. Thanks to you for showing them what they missed.

John’s always been a huge Stevie Wonder fan. Wouldn’t it have been great to see John and Stevie duetting together back in the day. Now that would be something

Love it when they all go A Capella on us. Lindsay Fields was the guy doing the deep bass beats....he was at the end, one of Johns best friends... Have you done 'Amazing Grace' with Venetta Fields John Farnham & Lindsay Fields yet?

Beautiful, Nick.

John is such a versatile talent and honours his supporting team of singers and musicians.

Key of Life Studio album by Stevie Wonder. *Loves In Need* Songs in the Key of Life is the eighteenth studio album by American singer, songwriter and musician Stevie Wonder. It was released on September 28, 1976

I loved watching John's band nearly as much as watching him back in the day lol. And we got to know them so well! I loved how Angus (drummer) and Lisa (backup singer) and probably others stayed with him for decades!! :)

Oh my goodness, just sublime! One of my favourite performances. I was at this concert in December 1990 (can you believe Irwin Thomas was not yet 20?!!) John always had the best people around him on stage and off, and the Chain Reaction tour really highlighted his own songwriting capabilities, not just his vocal abilities... Thanks for doing this one Nick! It's been one of my Paypal requests too... Brilliant reaction as always!

I've done quite a bit of a capella and it's really easy to lose elevation and finish the song slightly lower than where you started, especially when you're tiring. I just compared the first note with the last, and it's the same. They didn't drop a whisker.

ohhh this is one of my absolute favourites. Everyone in his band was the best available and also all amazing singers in their own right... Still gives me tingles all over. Who need musical instruments with those voices

Oh I’m so excited it was the next on my list to request 😂 😂

Thank you for finding these beautiful gems. Stevie Wonder is one of my fave performers and songwriters of all time too. I love your musical knowledge.

It's pure magic anytime John's on stage. This performance by all is wonderful ❤️ 🇦🇺

Love this performance. You need to watch his performance of ‘All In Love Is Fair’ from the Whispering Jack concert.

Loved this. Amazing harmonies. Brings back such great memories of seeing John in concert.

Lindsay Field is amazing in this!

gospel? magic

Nick ... one of Stevie Wonders best friends happens to be Sir Tom Jones so need i remind you that Sir Tom Jones is a big fan of ... John Farnham ... how crazy is that?

I’d never heard this song either, I loved it too

I like his live version of Stevie's 'All in Love is Fair'.

erwin aka jack jones and phil buckle played guitar for john in numerous concerts, they are two of australias finest guitarists, they also played in tina arenas concerts with southern sons drummer virgil after the release of her 3rd cd.

Darling lad, you MUST get a copy of "Songs in the Key of Life." I imagined every American home would have one. It would have been Lindsay Field singing the beautiful low notes.

Wow so beautiful 😍

This Stevie Wonder song is off his Songs In The Key Of Life cd. .... maybe his best cd ever...... every song on the cd is immaculate. If you haven't checked it out yet, you're really missing out on something great. Don't take my word for it. Check it out yourself....wink. Have a good day, buddy.
