FIRST TIME REACTING TO | John Farnham - That's Freedom 

Once again - I'm lost for word that describe John's live performances. The band, the backing group - and of course John's voice is fantastic.

John always makes us feel good listening to his music

We in Australia live in a very free country and sometimes take it for granted. It’s a song like this just to remind us of what an amazing country we live in. Thanks for you reaction and love from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 ❤

Tina Turner heard John's version of the Beatle's "Help" and recorded it herself - about three or four years after John's. She certainly knew of his talent..

One heart, one love ♥♥♥Your face said more than any words ever can. John and Tina would have smashed this out the ball park. John and the band always enjoyed performing together.

I'm sure Tina Turner would be honoured to be compared to our Farnsy, who, by the way can sing ANYTHING.

Thank you for the trip down memory lane. I forgot how awesome John is… he turned 75 a couple of days ago, and is reportedly doing well.

If John Farnham’s voice doesn’t give you chills!!?, you’re not alive!!! ❤❤❤❤ I love John and the entire band! The long haired guitarist with the red shirt is Jack Jones! He is the lead singer and guitarist for the band Southern Sons! You gotta react to them! I recommend Heart in danger! Jack has one of the smoothest voice I’ve ever heard! ❤❤❤

I need it every day! Can't wait a week.

Thanks for the reaction mate I’ll send in some more requests soon. John all ways delivers and outstanding performance 😊

John's music worked so well because everything he sang was honest and full of emotion or meaning...and he also had a great sense of humor which he shared with his audience and his band. He never took himself seriously...although that's kind of an Aussie thing lol. Just love your 'reaction' to John's videos.....Am off to share this link with his fan page.

Thank you for your reaction and appreciation of my all time favourite singer/performer/band! Please listen to and share many more…there is 5 decades worth of his hit songs!!! P.S. John and his band are always really into every one of his songs!!! He is an awesome performer! The best ❤!

Mate you’ve found another Farnsey gem , altho they are all gems 😊 great reaction ❤

Definitely the Voice of the World 🌎 ❤️

Love your love of John. You're officially an honourary Aussie. Welcome mate ❤

Just love your reactions to John Farnham. Your face says it all. Yep, this whole concert was very upbeat and much fun. And his songs are always full of great messages and sung with such passion. He certainly believed in what he was singing. And we were right there with him. And you're spot on with Tina Turner feeling...his back up singer Venetta Fields was one of Tina Turners original IKETTE's so you are possibly picking up her voice in the background which sounds a lot like Tina Turner 😉

This is my favourite Farnsey song!! 🐨🐨 Great reaction!!

Looking forward to it. One of my favourite John Farnham songs.

What can you say John Farnham G.O.A.T. Always gives 100 percent

Yes! Probably my favourite Farnsey song - it's just so catchy, infectious and positive.

Tina and another Aussie Jimmy Barns sang together they were great ❤ Simply the best ….

Hi, new subscriber, recently discovered your reactions. Love the awe & respect you show for John. As an Aussie it is so heart-warming to see others (particularly non-Aussies) discover John and appreciate his talents the way we have done for decades. 👏 Would love to see you react to his 2003 live performance of When The War Is Over - a truly spectacular vocal. Cheers

I'm at work so I missed the live stream sadly. Great reaction, it's one of my favourites of John's songs, especially live. You're so right, he really does get into it. ❤

No sorry needed👍I’d replay it too…😀GOAT STATUS‼️

Have a listen to him singing Led Zeppelin's 'Black Dog' as a sound check.

Thanks for your great reaction to our beloved John. Please react to the live version of John singing All In Love Is Fair (a Stevie Wonder song). It is so beautifully sublime & John's voice & emotion are pure perfection. Much love from Australia 🇦🇺💕

I don't know if any one else has told you in the comments but Jack Jones, on guitar in this song, ended up having his own band, Southern Sons. Look them up. They are really good too. They had a few hits here but unfortunately too many people said he was trying to sound like our John and then things went south for the band. They still do the circuit though and I am actually going to see them next week at the Melbourne Casino.

A lot of John's music always brings a positive message and I hear you, Tina Turner would be really suited to the chorus.

You should react to the documentary trailer about him that’s just come out in theatres! His story is amazing. Edited to add, Tina and he released a single together! They were good friends (RIP Tina).

💗💗💗that you did this song! It’s second behind my Reasons! Now go check out the Acoustic version of this song! Sharing this on our Farnham group page!

This is one of my top Farnsey tracks. I’m praying for him 😢

This is a goodie❤

dude johns music is timeless brother

Great reaction. This was actually written by American Tom Kimmel as a 4th July patriotic song. John has left out a verse to make it different. But to me, it is still a better version because John's voice is so much better. Both Tom and John have a video release of the song. You should have a look for yourself. Cheers.❤️‍🔥

Love that you listen to the words

I think you’re right. Tina Turner would sound good in this…as far as I know the closest thing to that that there is is Jimmy Barnes and Tina Turner doing a version of her song “Simply the Best”. Jimmy’s and Tina’s voices go together probably better than Jimmy’s and John’s IMO. It was recorded because the rugby league here wanted to use it as a promotional song for their competition. Was a perfect song for the promo way back then

Definitely the King of Anthems. These days it seems those legendary songs no longer exist but his WILL.

If you haven’t already you should check out “let me out and chain reaction” especially chain reaction live with awesome harmonica solo.

❤❤❤

A week is waaaaay too long between John's songs LOL Great point that Tina Turner would have sounded great with John, totally agree. Two awesome voices together. Interestingly, one of John's backing singers, Venetta Fields was a singer with Ike and Tina Turner.

You should do Gethsemane and Grenada with Anthony Warlow! They really show his versatility.

One on my favs

Great reaction ❤

Watch Anthony Warlow and John Farnham the main event Granada it will bring a smile to your face

Guitarist is Jack Jones. Gotta hear him sing as well.

You thought that song was good, from the same concert, listen to “In Your Hands”!! I can’t put it down; the live version is INCREDIBLE!!

Vendetta Fields (one of the backup singers) sang with Ike and Tina Turner; so your feeling of that vibe fits well.

Great reaction as always. You should check out jimmy barnes and tina turner doing simply the best together its the best xx

Tina and John would have been great in this song! !!!!!

If you want to hear John Farnham using his full range (3.2 octaves) then review John performing 'Gesthemene' from Jesus Christ Superstar. There are 2 versions on YT. The later one is best. Once again, Live and on a revolving stage. Truly Awesome. (1992 Australian cast - Sydney final night)

Farnsey bringing it!

I think you missed where the santa hat came from, check out 5:55 ,cheers

No one in Australia or America would sign John because they said he didn’t fit. They were wrong and John proved that with over 5 decades of music. He wasn’t happy taking over the lead singers role either. The Little River Band thought they were so much better than John and they kept getting angry because he wouldn’t keep still and sing. John doesn’t know how to stand still. They did things like shortening all of his microphone cords and taping the stand to the floor. I haven’t listened to any of their songs since then. John has never put himself above anyone else on that stage and they were fools.

Hello my friend.Nice reaction. May i drop a suggestion here? It's "Am i the one" by Beth Hart,live at Paradiso Amsterdam 2004. (specifically this performance) It's jaw dropping trust me! Thanks!

Have a listen to the original by Ross Wilson.

I prefer John Farnham version better than Tom Kimmel original version, although both are great singers.

No need for Tina
