Having lived in Australia for many years, I came to realise that John Farnham is the greatest singer ever, and this song is the ultimate anthem to define what peace on a world scale means. 'We're all someone's daughter, we're all someone's son, how long can we look at each other, down the barrel of a gun'. No other song or singer has ever said it better or with more conviction.

John's in hospital recovering from cancer surgery & his sons say John watched & had a tear in eye. He has a wide.range. John Performed with Ray Charles. As an Aussie I bought his greatest hits double CD for the car. His doing Queen's We will Rock You is excellent. I always see QE2 with Paddington in my mind when I hear the intro.

All his concerts were phenomenal but this one was an experience to be part of my wife and I travelled a thousand miles to see it and were not dissapointed . My favourite Farnsey song was from his time with THE LITTLE RIVER BAND called COOL CHANGE although it was sung by the band's original lead singer first John's version is the best I've ever heard , check it out it's one of the most calming songs out there .

John Farnham was offered to go overseas to become a big name in the music industry world wide a number of times but he didn’t want to be away from his family for long lengths of time and didn’t want to uproot them from their home environment to take them with him - it shows his values for family and loyalty to the country he loves- he was happy with his decision and gave everything he could to the music industry here - he was still recognised by many famous artists and musicians from overseas as a master singer who they admired 🥰👍🏻🇦🇺

@@Dr_KAP And I believe the songwriters were inspired by a protest march for nuclear disarmament in London's Hyde Park in 1985. The official film clip of this song is opened by what I think to be WWII footage, and then goes on to depict domestic violence in a contemporary setting. I guess that's what makes the song so timeless and affecting; that the listener feels a collective anger and response for violence of all kinds.

This was the song that saved (reinvented) John's career. Believe it or not when it was released with the album that featured it in 1985-86 "Whispering Jack", John's career was at rock bottom, he was broke, considered a has-been from his Johnny Farnham "King of Pop" teen idol days late 1960's and early 70s, and no one in the music industry wanted to know. He couldn't get a record deal and his best friend and manager Glenn Wheatly mortgaged his house to pay for the record. When they tried to get air time for You're The Voice, believing they had something special, the radio stations refused to play it. They flatly refused "Johnny Farnham". Part of the reason putting his name out as John at this time was to try to separate from the early days, he had matured and his voice had matured. Eventually when they convinced a radio station to play it, the phones rang of the hook. It snowballed and launched him back to top of the charts and to this day remains the highest selling album by an Australian artist in Australia. John and Glenn never really looked back. And we all can see why 🥰

G'day mate, good to see that you're enjoying Farnsey. Growing up in Australia in the 80s p and another amazing Australian artist Tommy Emmanuel we're like part of the furniture down here and it's just fantastic to see a wider audience enjoy them as much as we have for decades. They're both very much cut from the same cloth in that they are absolutely and astonishingly amazing talents also both fair dinkum down to earth decent blokes and genuinely nicest people in public life you could ever meet on top of being Deadset friggin Legends in their own time. The craziest thing of all in my own experience is it's only relatively recently that both of them have come back into the forefront of my mind and I had the same thought about both when seeing them on KZitem which was 'Geez I haven't seen them in years what are they been up to? Play Anthony the same in both cases OMFG, that's what they're been doing. Improving!! F****** they were already off the friggin dial! 🤯. Hope someone sees this and read it and checks out; 'This time we're playing to win - acoustic Chapel version' by John Farnham personally it's the best thing I've ever heard perform & freely available on KZitem, John Farnham reactions but I have never seen anyone react to this. As far as the free fish Tommy Emmanuel's concerned it really doesn't matter what listen to the man seriously does not hit a wrong note ever. The freak is like Mary Poppins whith a freaking guitar, practically perfect in every way. All these stuff on KZitem freely available and because he practically his own record label it doesn't pin anyone copyright as far as I'm aware but I want if I was to recommend one thing that everyone should see is Tommy Emmanuel TED Talk in Melbourne as in it he demonstrates and explains what is his doing and it is just mind boggling. He also explains why he does it. In his words he's not in the music business he's in the happiness business, he plays and we get happy.

Loving your respect for John. This was his “break back” song … his career was in limbo having previously been successful as a young “pop” star but radios would no longer play his music. This song brought him back from the wilderness and became a huge hit including in some European countries. This is why John was tagged “The Voice” - not only because of his voice but because of the song. The bagpipes send audiences nuts - a real feature of the song and John loves throwing the mike around in all of his concerts. Don’t know if he ever clonked one of the musos!! This song was the beginning of John’s second stage of success and he’s been singing for decades. Love him to bits.

I appreciate you doing this reaction video. When John was in his prime every record label passed on him except his good friend Glenn Wheatley, Yet you prove that people beyond Australia appreciates his voice.

Good choice for your reaction mate. Fun fact; I’ve done the bagpipe bit in this song for John’s concerts quite a few times back in the day. Not me in this one tho😊

I first heard and saw John singing ''Sadie'' while he was standing on the back of a flatbed truck as his stage at the Warana Festival in Brisbane when i was 14 , I am now 68 and i still love his fantastic voice . 💜

I first heard him at age 17, singing SADIE the cleaning lady…. He was standing on the back of a Ute at Caribbean Gardens - a trash n treasure market held on weekends in Rowville , Melbourne, Victoria. I’m 61. I later went to some of his concerts - Whispering Jack. / You’re the Voice. / Jacks Back. ❤❤❤ every song he sings I love. I also saw him in the stage musical of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR with Jon English when I was in year 11.

John's warm up soundcheck song was always Black Dog. There's a recording of it. He's definitely a freak of nature. You have to listen it's going to blow your mind.

John had the ability to draw amazing people around him one whom was David Hirschfelder you can see on keyboards. Musical director, arranger and a composer in his own right a lot of the sound of John’s concerts at this time were a result of their collaboration.

Its always great to see people from around the world (not Australian) react to Aussie music and performers, John Farnham is one of our best, do yourself a favor and look up and listen to a few more, i.e The Seekers, Cold Chisel, IceHouse, Jimmy Barnes, and many many more all pre 2000's

I never get tired of this song, and this is one of the best performances of it. Pay very close attention to the mic stand throw and catch..the one before he throws it to stage left. He twirls it up in the air, and catches it ...ON THE BEAT!! I first discovered this song on the "Merlin" BTS videos...when Arthur (Bradley James) and Merlin (Colin Morgan) are lip sync'ing to it.

John Farnham is an International treasure!!! I remember back in 1982 when he was with the Little River Band in the Detroit Area, a huge turnout and they put on one hell of a show that night!!!! I thought to myself, who is this guy who just replaced Glenn Shorrock as their new front man. Amazing singer!!

Listen to his version of "Help" from the Beatles, written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, at the same show, it is mindblowing. He did this song at the end of this 2 hours performence.
