THE PERFORMANCE WAS TRULY OUTSTANDING AND FOR SOME PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF , IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EMOTIONALLY IMPACTING. FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT HAVE GONE THROUGH DIFFICULT AND CHALLENGING PAST, THE SONG WAS VERY "TOUCHING". THANKS FOR YOUR HEARTFELT REACTION
I cry every time I listen to this. He is the best performer ever. I first saw him live when I was 12 years old at the hall in the show ground in Hobart Tassie (1970) 😳 He was 21. I saw him live again about 1990 at Hobart casino. Always love his voice forever. ❤️
OMG I can see you are as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside by your reaction to this song. Lets hear it for another great Australian, God bless
Also, this was the second encore after a 2.5 hr concert! John Lennon is also known to have said that THIS is how the song was meant to be sung but that Beatles managers etc made them make it a pop song.
John has been with his wife for over 50 years & I believe she has been the greatest helper over the decades. Jill has supported him through all the highs & lows. Now she's supporting him through cancer recovery
You should also listen to his performance of "You're the Voice" from the same concert. It is also mindblowing. This is a.o. why he is called "The Voice".
John is one of the best live singers ever Australian legend and great entertainer Hope you do many more songs from him and thanks for your lovely reaction
Thanks for your reaction. We love John. Another 2 to watch are "Please don't ask me" with Olivia Newton-John ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2uV_tZODfK8o.html and "You're the Voice" with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6m2m_9Uijso.html
So glad you loved it, John is a national treasure in Australia.. He's so loved by literally everyone xx he's going through cancer battle atm so we wish him all the best for a speedy recovery xx Loovvee this song so much xx We ❤ you John!!! Xx React to some more John farnham I'd suggest always listen/watch him LIVE.. "When the banners fall", "you're the voice", "Angels", "Chain reaction", "all our sons & daughters", "that's freedom", "pressure down", "when the war is over" .... i could go on & on and on, there are so many more great songs!!!
I was at this concert. I was 6 years old. John made me want to become an entertainer myself and he will always be in my top 3 ever along with Michael Jackson and Celine Dion. A true Aussie icon.
John farnham is phenomenal. His duet with Olivia Newton John is another tearjerker, but just beautiful. To dry up those tears, I suggest some Farnham contemporaries (they did the same weekly Bandstand TV shows in Oz decades ago) the Bee Gees. Too Much Heaven, the official video from 1978 is breathtakingly beautiful. Thanks for doing this one.
Thank you for appreciating our national treasure. John Lennon said Farnsey sang this song as it was meant to be sung. There are so many famous artists that consider John Farnham one of the greatest artists of all time: Celine Dion, Sammy Davis Jnr, Dame Joan Sutherland, Tom Jones, Paul McCartney. Check out his duet with Jimmy Barnes "when something is wrong with my baby" and his performance of "you're the voice" from that same Melbourne concert, or the 2016 ARIAS performance
@@captcaveman82 Lennon got to hear this arrangement before he passed he also wrote it in that time signature but the manager got them to speed it up for the movie
Glad you liked that one! The feels get me too, every time on that one. John means so much to us Aussies. To put some more pep in your step, bring that emotional energy back John just took... check out "playing to win" live by John Farnham. Farnesy can also get you ready for bed with his live performance of "angels" with Lisa Edwards, his singing partner that's usually backup.
THE Voice, probably the most incredible live vocal performer ever & 100% a legend & our national treasure, Aussie the most fantastic place on earth, with the best people you will ever meet.
Our beautiful John is so adored here in Australia 💕💕💕 Please react to the studio version of John singing When something is wrong with my baby with Jimmy Barnes - it’s simply amazing. 💕💕
I have listened to this song dozens of songs. I love it. It often brings me to tears and watching your reaction once again filled me with emotion. You're a beautiful soul and I so much appreciated it. Thank you. He's an amazing singer.
Здравствуйте, красивая девушка! Вы очень тонко воспринимаете этот мир. Я чувствую Вашу добрую душу. Скоро будет много подписчиков. Берегите душу, как она сегодня! Не бойтесь!
Yep, we all need HELP. No man is an island, nobody does everything on their own. Especially not beloved John Farnham (pronounced "Farn'um"), who has had his own troubels with his career needing help! (John is Australia's national treasure, aka 1988 Australian Of The Year, on the 200th anniversary of the white discovery(*) of Australia by Capt Cook). Thank you for your teary reaction, this version of his has the SAME EFFECT ON ME! 🥲😭😭😭 (*) This claim is now very controversial and many Aussies now call that date, 25th Jan 1788, Invasion Day. Happy 2023.
If this song has affected you like this, I'm just wondering how Please Don't Ask Me from The Main Event Concert, a duet by John with Olivia Newton John; I'm pretty sure, it will open a floodgate of emotion for you.
Damn he got you huh? The emotion in his voice hits you deep with those lyrics and his version of this classic. Nice to see it effect you the way it is supposed to.
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 A couple of songs worth checking have been mentioned below, plus these are worth a look also. 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. Angels.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5_2NJRIdBO8.html 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 here him sing again. So let's enjoy this one as well.. Please Don't Ask Me.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2uV_tZODfK8.html And even when he is singing with one of the most powerful voices on the planet he still put the mike away from his face and closer to Jonny Diesel. When Something Is Wrong With My Baby.... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9H0aHyjzWsQ.html
The way you reacted to this is exactly how it should be. When John Lennon wrote this, it was a cry for help that the world never heard. It came out as a pop song and because of the upbeat tempo of the song it was never heard. John Farnham did this better than the Beatles. I know that shouldn’t be said. But it’s fucking true
please pass on to, the 300 million americans, that think they are the leader off the free world.. that there is 7 billion, 700 million, on this earth, that do, it better, and don't give a stuff..
