They are actually all part of his band, as well as his backing vocalists. I saw John many times live here in Australia and he NEVER disappointed. A legend here in Australia.
I played this until the grooves wore out when Stevie's Songs in The Key of Life was released in the mid seventies. It takes a great vocalist to cover anything Stevie did. This blows my mind.
That man can master any kind of genre .To perfektion. He never stops surprising you. I hope to see him on stage again soon. 73 yo. But still mindblowingly good.
As a musician, I can only stand and applaud the perfect tone of every note by every singer in this song⚡️⚡️👍⚡️⚡️ Plus those three notes runs John slips in are so hard to hit from the note he jumps off from. It was great to hear you recognise the world class standard. Because you lucky Americans have had a huge amount of access to live blues sounds that’s not poss to hear in Ox. And you obviously are so experienced. So what a compliment! Again I might mention how surprised visiting top musicians are when they hear our local talent. You’re top dog IMHO 👍
A great line up to introduce his full band! (minus Brett Garsed and Chong Lim - they come in later) [l-r] Lindsay Field (BV Guitar) [singing doo-doo-doos] , Jack Jones (Guitar Vocals), David Hirschfelder (MD Keys), Steve Williams, (Harp/Sax), Venetta Fields (BV), JOHN, Chuck McKinney (BV), Lisa Edwards (BV), Angus "the Mongrel" Burchall (Drums), Wade Nelson (B Guitar), Phil Buckle (Guitar) Thanks for this reaction - just shows you how brilliant he is! (how musical they all are) CHOOKAS! 💖 PS A pity this clip didn't play longer cos he actually goes into singing "Sadie" 😁 (the song that started his career in 1968 ... and we never let him forget it! 😝) PPS John's still in rehab but looking forward to going home soon!
Absolutely sublime, I remember being at this show in Sydney in the 90's, I've never forgotten it, it was pure perfection. Of all the Farnham shows we were privileged to see this IMHO was the best. The songs performed, the level of musicianship and the vocal talent on that stage was second to none. I feel such joy to know that FINALLY John and these incredible musicians are starting to receive the level of recognition they so richly deserve. Kudos to you Dominic for continuing to showcase this extraordinary Aussie talent. Cheers
I have been waiting for you to hear this one. Isn't amazing, we really were lucky that John stayed here, because we've had this joy for decades now. 🎼🎵❤️🇦🇺
I was lucky enough to see John and Stevie share the stage in Adelaide. It saddens me that Americans missed John at his peak. Thanks to you for showing them what they missed.
John’s always been a huge Stevie Wonder fan. Wouldn’t it have been great to see John and Stevie duetting together back in the day. Now that would be something
Love it when they all go A Capella on us. Lindsay Fields was the guy doing the deep bass beats....he was at the end, one of Johns best friends... Have you done 'Amazing Grace' with Venetta Fields John Farnham & Lindsay Fields yet?
I've done quite a bit of a capella and it's really easy to lose elevation and finish the song slightly lower than where you started, especially when you're tiring. I just compared the first note with the last, and it's the same. They didn't drop a whisker.
Key of Life Studio album by Stevie Wonder. *Loves In Need* Songs in the Key of Life is the eighteenth studio album by American singer, songwriter and musician Stevie Wonder. It was released on September 28, 1976
Oh my goodness, just sublime! One of my favourite performances. I was at this concert in December 1990 (can you believe Irwin Thomas was not yet 20?!!) John always had the best people around him on stage and off, and the Chain Reaction tour really highlighted his own songwriting capabilities, not just his vocal abilities... Thanks for doing this one Nick! It's been one of my Paypal requests too... Brilliant reaction as always!
@@mrmockatoo6786 LOL I don’t think that will be an issue for John! Remember when he told Australia on the Steve Vizard show he had had a vasectomy?? That was pure GOLD!
I loved watching John's band nearly as much as watching him back in the day lol. And we got to know them so well! I loved how Angus (drummer) and Lisa (backup singer) and probably others stayed with him for decades!! :)
ohhh this is one of my absolute favourites. Everyone in his band was the best available and also all amazing singers in their own right... Still gives me tingles all over. Who need musical instruments with those voices
L-R you have Lindsay Field, Irwin Thomas (Southern Sons), David Hirschfelder, Steve Williams, Vennetta Fields, John Farnham, the late Chuck McKinney, Lisa Edwards, Angus Burchall, Wayne Nelson (Little River Band) and Phil Buckle (Southern Sons)
Someone PLEASE request John singing All In Love Is Fair.... Nick will love it as he's also a huge Stevie fan.... (live version is from the Whispering Jack concert with the grey silk shirt... which he vowed never to wear under lights ever again hahah)
Nick ... one of Stevie Wonders best friends happens to be Sir Tom Jones so need i remind you that Sir Tom Jones is a big fan of ... John Farnham ... how crazy is that?
erwin aka jack jones and phil buckle played guitar for john in numerous concerts, they are two of australias finest guitarists, they also played in tina arenas concerts with southern sons drummer virgil after the release of her 3rd cd.
Darling lad, you MUST get a copy of "Songs in the Key of Life." I imagined every American home would have one. It would have been Lindsay Field singing the beautiful low notes.
This Stevie Wonder song is off his Songs In The Key Of Life cd. .... maybe his best cd ever...... every song on the cd is immaculate. If you haven't checked it out yet, you're really missing out on something great. Don't take my word for it. Check it out yourself....wink. Have a good day, buddy.
John started off singing Sky Hooks' - Women in Uniform : then Shirl came on and John graciously joined Lisa Edwards at the back as background singer; they all had a great time!
Do you have ur own songs/music? I know u can sing dude come on now😑🦾🔥 Great reaction my guy 💚. This song never grow old, don't matter who singing it, I'm singing along too 🙊🤣🔥🔥🔥
