Don't know any other 54 yr old who can sing as well as this.
Just say the words Lads. Over forty years John developed his voice to a phenomenal level !!!
early 50's John was here…incredible really….even if u look at his very latest vids the voice is still fully their in his 70's
you gtta watch the og from chisel
Can't speak for other Aussies of course, but I don't regard Kylie Minogue as an Australian singer. She was more an actor here, she really became famous as a singer in England.
John can compete with any male artist who has ever sung. Yet he is not comparable to anyone . He is his own man . No he ours – a proud aussie
Try reading the lyrics
The song is about a break-up of a marriage.
Yep he owns it ❤
20 years ago and I still remember being there like it was yesterday
10 out of 10 for the Voice
Massive song here in Australia. Both the original Cold Chisel version and John Farnham version. Most Aussies would know every word. Funny how some huge artists don’t make it in other countries. 🇦🇺 🎶
if you wish to see how good he really is check out Black Dog as his warm up song Sorry no video only the sound
Kylie can't sing. Don't bother. And John is from the sixties era and onward. He kept his voice. He was in his fifties here.
Now, Farnham Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar. But – only if you want your socks blown off again.
Farnsey takes a Chisel's classic and puts his own spin on it.. brilliant!
It's an 11 boys.
That’s not 80s, that’s John Farnham singing up an octave. Not many singers can do that.❤
Amazing…
Although John wanted to retire a few times over, we his fans wouldn't 'let him'. lol. So he had a couple of comeback tours. He is one special man… In early 2020 at 70 yrs young, just after the devastating fires, he and the band volunteered their time to raise money for the firefighters … Because that's the kind of bloke he is. And if John's performing, John always draws the crowd!!!! This is also the last time our Livvy (Olivia Newton John) performed. RIP sweet ONJ xo.
Looking back on this now…. We had months where most of Aus, was burning… Our firefighters struggled through and then COVID hit the world… Wow full on! … And here we were in lockdown, when suddenly the rest of the world discovered John Farnham.
That concert in 2020 was called Firefight.
On a totally separate note, and I apologise if I sound triggered. Obviously Kylie Minogue has a different genre and became our pop princess ….she is not going to appeal to all but she still needs to be respected for her many hard working yrs in the industry and her contribution to the dance/disco genre..
So those saying, she can't sing… That's just unecessary. Kylie is still one of our own and a proud Aussie to boot. So no need to criticize her, just because her voice or dance music might not be everyone's style…..
(Ps I think this keyboard warrior, (and rightly so), has retracted their kylie comment)…
Even though you are correct abot John Farnham- are you guys wankers?
You knoe so little about Australian musicianship.
Australian Music industry is totally intertwined. If you look at the history of many of our top bands and musicians, most have had a stint in another top band or 2 along the way.
John is truly one of, if not the best vocalist ever. Every time you think you've seen the best from him he gets another 10 years older and turns up the notch a bit more and belts out another incredible version of one of his older classics. And even as he got older, he never hits a bum note.
.
This performence will allways be one of my favorite with him. His vocal range is out this world. He was 53yo at the time. Every note is spot on. Sing along, then you might understand how hard this song is to sing.
Nine?!! He sings his lungs out, the band plays their hearts out, and you Pommy bastards talk all the way through it and give it a 9? Haggle…come on…Nine? Nein. Ten every day. Go Farnsey!
John never lost that voice. I know this song well and next I am going to watch one I have never heard of. Beyond the Call. Thank you.
This creation is a tribute to ptsd suffered at war and the comradeship and understanding of their mates💖
The slow phrasing he adopted in later performances of this are horrible. No idea why people prefer the 2003 version of this.. the Whispering Jack version is so much better than this
If you want one of JOHN FARNHAMS No 1 BEST BEST Live ROCK SONG. Must review a song called " ALL OUR SONGS AND DAUGHTERS". Attached is a reference to it. Love this one. https://youtu.be/lygjcLZ9A4I
Another sensational Live performance One of JOHN FARNHAMS top 3 with a sensational drums and vocals. Up beat Song called " AGE OF REASON" You guys will love this one . Reference to it https://youtu.be/PCg4H35O5vA
What if you're mental and you're ALREADY subscribed? What do you do then? Inquiring minds would like to know 😉
His voice is always a 10, but I wasn't that keen on the song. I think maybe I need to have a few listens to be fair, though. I think it would definitely grow on me!
Edit: Have to add that the continuing saga of BP1 and his buttons never fails to amuse me 😄
Edit 2: moochie in my neck of the woods is sort of a stroll. So you could go for a moochie with your poochie by all means. I'd leave the smoochies, though…
John is THE Voice!
Is it too late for Christmas songs. Check out his vocals with his longtime backing singers (and friends) Venetta Fields, Lisa Edwards and Lindsay Field.
https://youtu.be/P2t9WP9QUcg
His singers have been with the John Farnham band for 30 years plus ??? And they are the iconic sound of the band, complimenting Johns voice perfectly. They sound like a whole choir is on stage.
Or check out the amazing Venetta Fields singing Amazing Grace with John and Lindsay acapella…
This is a Cold Chisel original. Jimmy Barnes rocked it, John slowed it down for more of a ballard feel
Whilst you are right, it is a ballad, I always thought it was about a guy who has been sent off to war and when he returns his difficulties, after what he’s seen, reintegrating back into society and with his girlfriend/wife.
The only Kylie song worth listening to is Breathe.
Vanessa Amorosi and Delta Goodrem are a couple of great female artists from Australia that need to be heard, too.
10
Lovely to see that his talent is still being appreciated today. We love him.
Another captivating, flawless performance from The GOAT. You are right about him acknowledging others on stage. The fact that many of his band members and back-up singers have been with him for 30yrs+ speaks volumes about him I think.
This isnt a smoochy love song lads….its a song about a man who tries to adjust back into life after serving in the war. But, it does have a 80s rock ballad feel to it, for sure. Classic Cold Chisel song. You should watch Cold Chisels version with Ian Moss singing the lead vocals on it, when Chisel reformed for a concert after being apart for years. It's amazing….
Spare us!!! Please don’t play Kylie
The woman singing is the daughter of one of the dancers from the Sadie the cleaning lady video who happened to be pregnant with her at the time of the Sadie video.
