I respect John so much for not using auto tune. His voice has aged gracefully and has remained natural. The fact that he can sing like this is impressive. Using auto tune is not impressive at all.

This is a guy giving it all. He gave his voice, literally to this song for 40 years and it's taken it's toll. Yet he continues to gift fans this song. I appreciated and enjoyed it.

Still such a powerfull voice even after all these years!

I love it!!! He’s a couple octaves lower but who cares!!! Song is a classic!!!

To all of you who saying this sucks, give him a break....the man’s approaching his 70’s. I’m surprised he’s still got that enthusiasm.

It's always great to see the original artist doing his/her songs regardless of age. Gorden Lightfoot is 82 and touring. Saw him when he was 78 and though he changes up the arrangement a little to make it easier on him it is awesome to see him performing... Sammy Hager is 73 and he doesn't disappoint and sounds better then most younger artists....

A timeless song by the legend himself. Anyone hating on him needs to sit down and humble themselves. Did your rock career span 4 decades? No? That's what I thought.

People , It's John Parr and "Man in Motion". It will always be a classic, period.

Saw him in 85 when i was 11......he is my hero. Its amazing that he's singing this for you new gen. Thats what real musicians do!!!!!!!

John still sounds amazing

Loved no matter how old he gets! He still loves doing what he does! Great performance!!

For a guy of his age that is still one hell of a voice that could show these young upstarts how it can be done

Great to see him singing live, no auto tune crap.

Great point, seriously. I'd rather hear flawed singing than fake singing.

This song really motivated me when I was in rehab recovering from foot surgeries. Both feet from diabetes. Now I walk perfect

Glad to see the best mullet of the 80s, after the guy from Icehouse, is still alive and well.

Amazing performance 👍❤️👍 Beautiful song 👌❤️

To all you haters this man at his age still sings and performs better then any of you could ever.

Super że na żywo śpiewał ;)

This song was released in 1985, so John Parr has been singing this song since then. I think his performance was just as good now, as it was, then. I sing this in karaoke, so I'm waiting for bars to open again, after the Covid-19 restriction to be lifted... ---Lee

80s is back fantastic song, great soundtracksera👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸🇸🇰

I still love him sing Man in Motion

Beautiful. Brings back memories.

Quite possibly my favorite pop song of the 80s.

You're a king 👑

Wow a great song

Legend!

Maybe whoever is saying negative stuff about this man's voice, maybe they should go back to some of his early live performances.

Killer tune. Great to see him still singing it live.

Ciamik lagu iki semangaaat❤❤

Saw him sing this in 2017, loved it then as much as 30 years earlier ❤️❤️❤️

Once a legend, always a legend! 💪💪

Love this song.

Love John!!

Love this song and John Parr

아직까지도 건강해 보여서 좋아요

Maravilhoso John Parr.... incrível como você interpreta essa música tão bem como antes. Ameiii

Y love you ❤❤❤❤

His voice has almost gone but I don't blame him, he used to sing it perfectly but time takes a toll on all of us, anyone who was around when this song came out can say they were better back then in many ways too, myself included.

It's just a different key to adjust to his current voice changes, for those who don't get it.

Сегодня эту песню поет Томми Йоханссон и он потрясающе ее поет.🎉

Excelente!🇧🇷

Yeah!!!!

I would say this is even better than the original, slightly lower highlights the hoarse tone to his voice a sound I absoloutly love.

Childhood hero then... childhood hero... NOW

Finally a real LIVE version! John still sounds and looks good! ❤️

The soundtrack of generation X.

​@@lorenmorgan1931 Yeah, unfortunately, his voice just seems exhausted (probably from having sung this song so many times!), BUT...I do give him props for at least not using auto-tune or lip syncing to a vocal track like so many "legacy" rock stars do today...not sure about his guitar or the other instruments backing him here, but Parr's vocals at least do seem to be live.

works for me

Well he is 68. He was 32 when he recorded the song originally. He’s been singing it for 36 years, I think he did a fine job considering. I remember when the song came out back in 85.

This song is epic and timeless. So glad to see John Parr still healthy and rockin. But is he wearing a wig?

How come their are no power voices like this anymore

😢😢😢😢😢

I saw him sing this live 6 or 7 years ago and he sang much better than he did here. Maybe he was having an off night 🤷🏻‍♀️

acoutic drums sound better but not up enough. This is a rock song.

His t shirt has the American flag, hasn't forgotten he had a hit in the film St Elmo's fire,a us film and a song produced by the Canadian producer David Foster.

He's from my town in England, and was lucky enough to meet him a few times when I was in school. He was a really good friend of my music teacher and they collaborated on a charity single for us to sing, but unfortunately it didn't even make the top 100 in the uk charts.

For once I would say it actually would have been better without the backing vocals. His voice alone would have been much better.

Anniversary edition is pitch corrected and enhanced to remove his rasp fully 😅😅😅 its moronic and ruins the song

Nah!!

Oh, no... Great artist and great song... but it's probably time to not do this anymore. There's no shame in that... it happens to all of the great singers.

He beats the ass off so-called artists like Amy Winehouse, God rest her. She wasn't even in the same league as this legend. So they had to drop key a bit because his voice has changed? Who cares? He's still a better singer than much of the auto tuned shit these days.

Wow! I'm amazed by how torched his voice is. This is surprisingly bad...and this is already lowered significantly. He STILL can't do it. The apologists in here need to get real. There are plenty of other singers his age who could have done this without the awful pitch issues he has. On the plus side, he looks good for his age; just wish he sounded even okay. Ouch...
