John had number one albums in 5 consecutive decades. He is our Legend and loved. Richard Marx named him best living voice anywhere alive because of all of the genre’s he can sing naturally. Tom is older than John and John is older than Barnes. John started singing at 17 but he wasn’t allowed to sing his music his way until he was 38. His movie called Finding The Voice is on RU-vid now. You will understand John so much more. Thank you.
Someone may already have mentioned it, but John's version of Black Dog is well worth listening to. No video as it is a sound check but truely mind blowing.
Yes, this was one of John's warm ups, before performing... you can seriously see how it would be a great vocal warm up... test piece/sound check, before performing ❤
Tones and I (Monkey Dance fame) does a version of MAW's Land Down Under, also how about "Who can it be now" my fav of their's. They also, are legends down here
Jimmy is recovering from open heart surgery at the moment. Complications set in when got pneumonia that caused a bacterial infection in his heart and he suffered valve issues. Apparently he is progressing well. 2023 was also John Farnham’s year of ill health too with his mouth cancer and his family have said he is also recovering well.
Never gets old. So great and yes; always amazing extra energy Live. So many favourites; but John's 'Burn For You' is a stand out for me. Written for his lovely wife; Jilly, whilst out on the road touring and missing her.🥰
Loved your mates reaction to when something is wrong with my baby seemed a man after my own heart he loved them both and appreciated their different talents but his eyes lit up when Jimmy sang which mirrors my reaction to Jimmy when he sings it connects to my soul on a viceral level❤😂
Jimmy and John Are my teen idols. These guys sound exactly the Same or even better live than they do on their recorded videos. They are natural singers.
And Farnham has an audio sound check of Led Zeppelin’s’Black Dog’, so you can add a touch of Robert Plant to the list of vocalists who emulate him - since he is older.
Happy New Years Guys - thanks for the Show ! - BTW we used to sing the flute tune " kookaburra sits in the the old gum tree", my grandson still sings it at grade school.
Yo Trev!!! Happy New Year to you both.Love the backdrop! Loved the tribute to one of our great Aussie bands.I'm glad you played the video version of When something is wrong with my baby. Thank you for entertaining us. Yo!!!
I’ve seen his official range…..I don’t think it 5 octaves on account he doesn’t sing very low…..I heard it was 3 octaves and a little change. But if that’s not right I love being proved wrong! ;)
Hate the spiderbait clip just ignores Janet. She is spiderbait! Wholesome band that were happy to share the live load. I’m 40 and this band is one of many Aussie’s that were just in it for the music during my formative years. They are so much fun.
John’s voice is fantastic and he has an amazing range. He does miss notes on occasion- he is human and this makes his songs even more enjoyable. No one is infallible 😂 Working with his songs in the digital studio setting I’ve actually found Jimmy Barnes is more on key than Farnsey but I’ve never corrected either of their pitch as its those moments that often bring out more raw emotion in a performance.
As an Australian, the largest continent on earth, I get embarrassed that "professional" musicians havent experienced Australian classic rock. Pick up your game, yeah, hey.
You’re telling the 2 dudes that performed 2 Aussie songs and watched 2 others…and why is professional in quotes? Is my pro musician background in question? 😆 Oh and the largest continent on earth is Asia. ✌️ ❤️
I fckng LOVE the way you kept skipping back a bit when your friend had said something and you wanted us to hear it, but you also wanted him to hear every little bit, like a proud dad showing video of his son's hockey game 😉
, Farnsey also has a way of getting deep 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.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4PPvOhPspEA.html -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. JF with Lisa Edwards, a top singer in her own right, and one of John's back up singers for 20+ years. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5_2NJRIdBO8.html -Amazing Grace.. To show the calibre of his other back up Singers, showing you have to be good in your own right, just like Lisa. This is Vanetta Fields and Lindsey Field. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_x6N94OEkZQ.html -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.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2uV_tZODfK8.html -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. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AU_bCchDWF4.html Or this version. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RAlFHSPLHpo.html -When The War Is Over… Possibly one of his greatest vocals. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lfWrXc5eN8g.html -Or is the greatest. Gethsemane.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k5woMZtClhI.html -How about a mike test. He has the power and ability to distort microphones, amps, and get speaker stacks jumping. So this sort of setting up the venue test is a must. Lol Black Dog. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F2Yi6TVi-sU.html 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, timbre and all of those other things that voices can do so he could accentuate the other singers.
Makes me smile everytime I see some react to these 2 and hearing their songs. Listen to their songs as a kid John is one the most nice people you see plus we always listen to still.. Robbie Williams the singer did the voice as a thing when John Farnham had a cancer and surgery for it at our AFL Grand Final we also lost Oliva-Newton John the week before this which John did a song with her too called please don't ask me.
Hey, a Newfy. Apparently the nick name "Newfy" was given the them by the Aussies at Galipolli. Went to Newfoundland. St John's is the friendliest place on earth (that I have been).. Looking forward to watching this. Let's go!
@@michaelgoyettemusic fantastic. Loved that place. Everyone was so friendly. Shop owners would offer you a cuppa even if you weren't buying. Came over on a small plane so we couldn't carry much back except a few souvenirs. I actually used my St John's lighthouse plate yesterday for NYE lunch... Small world. Our taxi driver recognized our accent and took us on a tour for free.. Even past his daughter's new house... Like we were long lost family. Unbelievable!! Hard to understand the accent though. Irish North America blend.
Both John and Jimmy are Aussie music legends! They are both revered and we will love them forever! ❤ Considering neither of them are Aussie born (John is a Pom and Jimmy a Scot), we claim them anyways as they both grew up here and started their musical careers here.
The best part of John’s singing is his versatility. He can sing anything from the softest ballad to Rock, Pop, Classical, Country , Operatic etc. You name it and he can sing it! He is much loved in this Country and he is known as ‘The Voice’. He is always happy, laughs a lot, he adores his family and is happiest when singing. We are all relieved to know that he has survived an 11 hour Cancer operation and after many months, is reported to be singing around the house.
Lots of great Spiderbait songs. You could try "Run" (it's a cover of a TV theme tune), "Buy me a pony" (song about the music biz), "Sam Gribbles", "Old Man Sam", "chest hair"... I could go on! great band, hope you like 'em
So about 5 minutes before i watched your video i played Business As Usual, which was the first time I'd played the album in about 30 years. Then you jump into those MAW tunes ...spooky!
I always loved the Original Version video of Spiderbaits take on Black Betty. The Official and Original video clips shouldn’t be mixed up. Someone played with and messed up the Official Video with a superimposed movie clips. The one to watch is the unmolested Original Video. The banjo, guitar and drums all make the song. Not to mention that drop dead gorgeous Black Coupe burning rubber and sliding around the camera.
Ram Jam had a hit with this in 1977 ... reworked the song attributed to Leadbelly (original bluesman) ... so it Southern, a "20th-century African-American work song" (Wikipedia); re Sam and Dave, check out Barnesy's (in Oz, Barnesy and Farnsey, please!) duet with Sam on their 60s (?) hit Soothe Me
@@michaelgoyettemusic do the Cruel Sea as a pre recorded one, as it is the offical video and audio. If that gets a copyright claim I will search for a good live track.
Mate, Trevor described Jimmy and John as maybe the best duet he has ever heard. Yeehah, he is correct. Continue to dive into Jimmy and Johnny Farnhams music as duets with others and you will be a RU-vid star. Do Tina Turner, INXS, Olivia Newton John...
Got another couple more for showing John's amazing vocals... 1st one is at his 50th Birthday concert with "Human Nature" when he does a "MJ /Jackson Five" number "Who's Loving You" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fuSRXMgZb0A.html the 2nd one was in 2000, with his terrific band, they had so much fun, especially the brass. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AK9uhGmvo6U.html Hope you enjoy. 💞 In fact, that whole concert is awesome called the Man on the Moment Tour.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GUZIGUVZBVc.html in case you have some time to fill up and want to put a smile on your face.
Hearts manager and John Farnhams manager gave them the same some. You’re the voice. It’s the same song just different artist with much much different results.
Ann Wilson, lead singer of Heart heard John’s version (he was the first to release this song) on the radio while in a taxi in London. She liked it so much and that inspired them to make their own cover. Heart used John’s version as their blueprint.
Please check out jimmy Barnes when he was in a band called cold chisel and live song of When the War is over please please please kind regards and enjoyed your content.
Great rendition of Down Under. Fab harmonies. Loved it all. Reminded me of the live stream cover of Mike AND ?? sitting in a coffee shop singing Africa
you should check out Calypso by Spiderbait, you might recognize it, was in the movie 10 things i hate about you, in that song the, bass guitarist is lead.
@michaelgoyettemusic Sorry I should have said For me the only versions worth listening to. It was ment to be a personal preference not a Statement of fact
@@PaulA-bv1rt I’m surprised I didn’t see them. Most bands that played there also played the club I went to near my place….they were part of the same circuit.
