This concert was in 1989. John was still performing until 2022, when he was diagnosed with a cancerous tumour in his jaw. Underwent a 12 hour surgery and is now recovering with his family. And his voice was still the same in his 70's. There's 5 decades of music to cover, from a guy that can sing literally anything.

I had a bad case of stage fright that he helped me overcome and gave me the courage to continue, not just that night but for many years. I'm so glad he's finally getting the recognition overseas that he so thoroughly deserves.

That Beatles "Help" cover was the final encore of the 3 hour (1989) concert with the MSO. John "The Voice" Farnham is a much loved Australian icon.

John was 1987 Australian of the Year, a high award that is rarely bestowed on an entertainer.

John Farnham is an Aussie National Treasure. A true legend of Australian music. He can sing any genre of music. He has done musical theatre, big areans like this one, acting on TV shows, etc. His career started in the late 60s when he was around 17yrs old. He is now 73yrs old. He recently underwent mouth surgery to remove a cancerous tumour, which was around a 12hr surgery, with success. He also recently had to go back into hospital for a respiratory infection. Aussies love John as many generations have grown up with his music. He is the only Aussie singer to have a No 1 song in every decade. His talent is amazing, which has rightly earned him the title of...The Voice. He is a humble, family man, choosing to stay in Australia with his family rather than be away from them to gain international success....and we love him for that. Family comes first for him. Welcome to the John Farnham rabbit hole....you're welcome....

You reacted to Cold Chisel before, in this case fronted by Jimmy Barnes. Great Blues and Soul voice. This Farnham concert was recorded in the late 80s. Musta been one of the best concerts of all time. Everything came together: orchestra clearly enjoying themselves, Farnsey's band and backing singers in top form, he himself also in top form and an electric atmosphere. Energy from performers and audience built to an amazing level on top of each other. Check out Farnsey and Barnesy together in When Something Is Wrong with my Baby. IMHO the best version is the one on the 'Hey Hey It's Saturday' show.

I think this performance is in the legendary category. I don't think you could make a case that something else was strictly better than this delivery of "Help". John also nailed the finish like few performers can. Went for a pause, a gritty word slight pause, then a perfect classy final note. Not overkill, not a fade, and the band comes back in perfectly. Everyone from the sound mixing and volume levels to the musicians just nailed it to give John's exceptional vocals The support it deserved to make something that exceeds the exceptional into the timeless.

This was 1989 John at this time had been singing for 21 years. He is highly respected by his peers all over the world and he is so loved here in Australia we are so proud of him not just for his talent but the fact that he’s just the most humble and all round nice bloke you will never meet and at the moment he is having a tuff time of it with under going treatment for cancer and while doing well he has a long way to go he was just recently released from hospital from respiratory infection which thankfully he’s made a full recovery from he is 73 and last time John performed was in March 2020 at our fire relief concert and than covid hit. last year his lost his best mate and his manager Glenn Wheatley to covid, than his long time friend Olivia Newton John and than 2 weeks after Olivia passed he was diagnosed with cancer in the mouth and under took a 12 hour operation the whole of Australia held their breath waiting on the out come for John we were so please he came through it and that he had to have reconstructive surgery on his jaw and that he still had to have cancer treatment. While he may never sing again and lot of people say he won’t, never say never where John is concerned because you just never know. But all we want is for him get well again and enjoy he’s time with his beautiful family. so sit back and enjoy this phenomenal ride your about to go on with one of Australia’s most loved and treasured Legends simply know has The Voice! 🧐😊🇦🇺🥰

This concert was advertised as John and his Big Band in typical Aussie understatement, it's a 100+ piece orchestra for crying out loud. lol This song is one of the last songs of the night after he has already sung his heart out for nearly 3 hours, and Farnsey also has a way of getting into the emotions of your soul. A couple of songs worth checking have been mentioned below, plus these are worth a look also. The reason you haven't heard of him is because the US music industry is a closed little club. When John Farnham went to the US they didn't know which genre to put him in so his US promotions manager got him a couple of gigs in a little jazz club, where the MC introduced him as Jack Phantom. Couldn't even be bothered getting his name correct, so being a bit disheartened he wandered home to concentrate on his loyal fan base. The experience did give him inspiration to write a couple of good songs about missing his family, like this one. -Burn For You.. kzitem.info/news/bejne/lYaG3IOeiaWheHY -Angels.. Notice how he holds the mike below his chest, both mikes are a metre away, which he does all the time to not drown out the other singers. John and Lisa Edwards, a top singer in her own right, and one of John's back up singers for 20+ years. kzitem.info/news/bejne/lpVotH6IgpZzgm0 -To show the calibre of his other back up Singers, showing you have to be good in your own right, just like Lisa. Vanetta Fields and Lindsey Field. kzitem.info/news/bejne/wK5stG1qiHecjYY -Please Don't Ask Me.. This one with Olivia Newton John, who we have recently lost. John has also had major cancer surgery including removal of part of his jaw and we may not hear him sing again. So let's enjoy this one as well.. kzitem.info/news/bejne/k6uMxaiQiHaXfm0 -When Something Is Wrong With My Baby.... And even when he is singing with one of the most powerful voices on the planet, Jimmy Barnes, he still put the mike away from his face and closer to Jonny Diesel on guitar. kzitem.info/news/bejne/oouVyHeZoXaIeWk Or this version. kzitem.info/news/bejne/s3eirHyJiX55o6Q -When The War Is Over… Possibly one of his greatest vocals. kzitem.info/news/bejne/zZyN2IyZbpd_a5w -Or is the greatest. Gethsemane.. kzitem.info/news/bejne/zGut1YGQrXWdm34 Besides having the best voice ever, JF can adjust his tone, pitch, volume, to match the person he is singing with to either match them or sing just under them depending on who's the head line act, he will even back himself down when he is the head line to give others their moment to shine, and if my ears were sensitive enough, I wouldn't be surprised if he could vary his vibrato and all of those other things that voices can do so he could accentuate the other singers.

40 years and more since this was recorded. I am the same age as John. Cruising around 70. He was one of the best there has ever been. I remember when he was a young plumber working not far away from me in Melbourne. I worked with people who had the Bee Gees coming around to court their daughters It is important to remember from those halcyon days of Australian music there were other icons that were largely ignored by the American market. Not a question of right or wrong, just the way it was. Eva Cassidy, another fabulous performer, from the States, never had a chance either and she had the support of Fleetwood. I could point you at Thorpe and the Aztecs, Dragon, Shirley and the Sky Hooks, Chrissy Amphlett, Daryl Braithwaite (horses) Olivia Newton John, Little River Band and a dozen others. Some had some success but it has always been grudging. It is good that they are all getting recognition now but what is even better is remembering being at the concerts. From the Agora at Latrobe Uni where Split Enz started to The Sydney Myer Music Bowl, to Sunbury (where a few of these guys learned their chops). I don't think a lot of us Australians appreciated how important Molly Meldrum and Countdown were to exposing us to Australian groups and artists , as opposed to British and American influences. Wow, it is a very interesting topic and the pub scene during that period was great. I saw groups at the Middle Park Hotel that you could not get a ticket for now.

He is adored in Australia - our national treasure. And you got your wish - Jimmy Barnes (lead singer of the other group you reacted to, which was Cold Chisel) teamed up a fair bit with John Farnham (or Farnsy as we call him).

He’s a humble man who treasures his family and loves his fans. He’s never forgotten his early days singing pop songs. He’s true to himself and we all love him. To us he is THE VOICE.

Hi! Thank you for reacting to John! Can I request John Farnham with his back up singers singing Amazing Grace! One of his back up singers is formerly from the U.S. and she was a back up singer for several famous entertainers including Ike& Tina Turner! Her name is Venetta Fields! She is AMAZING! I think you will enjoy it! Loved your reaction! Peace and Blessings to you and your family from Australia.

Aussie music from this era is really fascinating, aussie music was such a strange cultural melting pot from all over the world, and it birthed some incredible talents, John Farnam quite rightly is considered one of the all time greats that deserved even more love than they got (and aussies love Farnsy with all our hearts!). Even to this day, You're The Voice is essentially the unofficial National Anthem, every single aussie knows the words.

If you really want your mind blown, do a reaction to John Farnham & Jimmy Barnes duet “When Something is Wrong With my Baby”. Jimmy is the singer from Cold Chisel who gave you chills. Both are legends in Australia. Hop on board the Aussie rock train & we’ll be right there with ya! Thanks for your reaction, we love showcasing our Aussie talent to the rest of the world 😎

Prayers for our Australian legend John Farnham fighting mouth cancer. I've had the pleasure of seeing him in concert many times, even stole a kiss from him on the cheek at one . His two sons say with treatment after surgery, say he's ok. But Prayers always needed for cancer sufferers and the sick. Please..

John’s been singing for us since he was about 18. He is now nearly 74 (in July) and has been blessing us with his voice for 50 plus years. You need to react to his song You’re the Voice live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and also John singing AC/DC’s song It’s a Long Way to the Top if you want to Rock and Roll also with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

John first recorded this about 10 years before this performance (hence the reference to it being an oldy) and John Lennon, who wrote the song, said that Farnham had redefined the song.

Yes- Wow! Welcome to The Voice. Not that show > the actual Voice. One of the best vocalists - and song writers - on the planet. John Farnham has been filling stadiums here for decades. He had so many 'Farewell' & 'Last' Tours, it became a running joke, but we just wouldn't let him retire! John last performed early 2020 at the 'Fight Fire' benefit concert for recovery from the devastating Bushfires we had all over the Eastern Coast of Australia at the time. He's been surprised and moved by his sudden 'rediscovery' via You Tube and he Reactor World - but none of his fans here are in the LEAST surprised. He' is one of the GREATS! Enjoy your exploration of more of his work. {And Hello from Tasmania } 😊

He is so loved. He can sing any genre. Some suggestions are: ROCK It's a Long Way to the Top ACDC cover from the same concert OPERA: Grenada with Anthony Warlow from The Main Event concert THEATRE: Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar where he played Jesus BALLAD: Burn For You or Please Don't Ask Me with Olivia Newton John And for good measure, Black Dog (audio only) which was his warm up and sound check. Enjoy your journey. There is over 50years of his work ❤

The guy from Cold chisels name is Jimmy Barnes and he and John Farnham did release a song together called, When something is wrong with my baby. Its a beautiful song. If you do decide to do a reaction video to it look up their names and the song on a show called Hey Hey it's Saturday. Best live version. I know you'll love it. Sending much love from Queensland Australia 🦘💜

If the performance you watched was When Something is wrong with my baby, or When the war is Over, then it was definitely Farnsey, but if it was Bow River with When the War is over, then No. Farnsey and Barnsey have beautiful blends together. That said, john Farnhams When the war is over, solo live, is my fave. Great reaction BTW

Definitely check out more from John, he is Australia’s favorite son and the voice of a god, or angel anyway. As mentioned check out more from this and other performances. Long way to the top(AC/DC cover), playing to win, you’re the voice and many more. He has so many great songs from ballads to opera, and a few great anthems like you’re the voice, let the banners fall, and a few more but try to react to live performances where possible, John is great live as you have seen.

John is an extraordinary rabbit hole you will not ever regret going down. You last listened to Cold Chisel i believe. Not the guitarist/singer which was Ian Moss, but the guy in the background which was their backup/lead singer Jimmy Barnes did do a couple songs with John Farnham over the years. When Something Is Wrong With My Baby, is the most well known song between Jimmy, John and another guitarist/singer named Diesel. John is a classic example of a Diamond in the Rough. He reached Legendary and Iconic status in Australia and is also very well known and respected by other Legendary Musicians and Singers around the world. However he is little known to the worlds public until very recent which KZitem has finally single handedly broken his name across the worlds public.
