Love these guys performing together it’s awesome but I actually prefer when they sing this song separately, when Jimmy sings it with his band Cold Chisel and when John does it a solo performance. Thanks for the reactions bro keep them coming
Yeah I like the version when U see Ian moss sings at the start then Jimmy comes in. Way better version but John's later version was killer as well. You should check this one out. czcams.com/video/x4Wwq9_zn_c/video.html
Yeh it doesn’t get much better than this. This is a classic cold chisel song - Farnsey has done a couple of beautiful renditions for sure.. just epic seeing the two of them together. Also at 4:19 when you said did you hear that- that was when Jimmy started singing out the back- you could hear him before he came on stage!
John Farnham was brief member of Australian band Little River Band ( LRB ) they covered When The War Is Over 1986 when the songs creator drummer Steve Prestwich joined LRB after Cold Chisel broke up 1984 . When The War Is Over originally Cold Chisel in 1982 song with Jimmy Barnes sharing the vocals with guitarist Ian Moss . Steve Prestwich straight out one successful band into once was successful band but still heavily touring the USA , Steve Prestwich didn’t really had any new music to share with the band so LRB started jamming to When The War Is Over on their 1985 tour of USA to promote their Playing To Win album. All the band members loved the harmonies in the song LRB recorded it for their underrated album No Reins which ended up being John Farnham and Steve Prestwich last album with LRB in 1986 . John Farnham re-launched he’s solo career that same year with massive successful Whispering Jack album that featured You’re The Voice . LRB recording label EMI Capital released When The War Is Over as single to capitalise on John’s solo success. When The War Is Over sadly failed to chart. But John loved the song so much he re-recorded it for B side to mega hit single Age Of Reason that version even made as a bonus track on the hit album Age Of Reason CD . To this day When The War Is Over with Playing To Win are only 2 songs John is willing to sing for his LRB days .
Strongly recommend the original version (they guy who came on late is part of the band who made this a hit) - Cold Chisel but get ther version from 2003, it's the best
Hi. A bit of Australian music context. Barnsey & Farnsey had their own very successful solo careers & bands with huge hits. Jimmy Barnes is the lead singer of the famous band 'Cold Chisel' and John Farnham had his Farnham band also with record breaking albums. They are still great mates (friends) x L.
@@mrmockatoo6786 he was too busy getting on the booze backstage to bother warming up at all, just figured he'd go out on stage and wing it. Those are his words.
Dude, Cold Chisel doing this live is AMAZING.

G'day George. I agree, Jimmy was off colour in this performance - like he didn't want to be there.
Yea most definitely.
2003 John farnham singing this song on his last tour concert.
The whole show was absolutely amazing.
It's really a thing that jimmy admitted year later that it was one of his worst performance ??

Love the tone of Johns male backup singer Lindsay Field in this song.
Damm you went to detail that crazy I have even notice
@@iamkelvins You should watch John, Lindsay and his other backup singer Venetta sing "Amazing Grace" it will move your soul. Each gets their moment.
I'm working on that video for sure

...(in the distance...almost beyond imagination...) flap flap flap flap...(A nearly silent mockatoo fly-by).
there's nothing better than Jimmy Barnes just screaming "AaaAAAAaaAaraRrRrRRRGGGhHHhHH!!!!"

Wow Mark thanks for that piece of story behind that song and John Farnham musical journey with LRB, because I didn't knew that story !!
That was great, keep it coming. More Jimmy and more John both legends in Australia 🇦🇺 🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️👍💯
You have become a very good reactor in a very short space of time, well done!
Thanks so much
John Farnham is the best, I have seen him live many many time - he is truly amazing. 💕
Strongly recommend the original version (they guy who came on late is part of the band who made this a hit) - Cold Chisel but get ther version from 2003, it's the best
You need to listen to John singing Michael Jackson whose loving you at his 50th birthday party with Human Nature - it’s insane so high
A beautiful voice, and man❤️
New Subscriber here!! Gotta check out John Farnham 1987 "Whispering Jack Tour" Melbourne The Voice!! Nothing, I mean NOTHING compares to it!!
Hi. A bit of Australian music context. Barnsey & Farnsey had their own very successful solo careers & bands with huge hits.

His solo version of this song from a show called the last time is so much better. Its from 2003. Check it out you will not be disapointed.
Yea that what people said in the comments that it wasn't his best version of that song
@@iamkelvins so do your reaction to it.
John Farnham version on his own when he’s older 2003 is better.
This is a cold chisel song. Their reunion tour version is great
People who recommend this version of this song are muppets. This is one of Jimmy Barnes all time worst performances, even he admits that.
Lol really for Jimmy maybe but john he was insane
I tend to agree. Jimmy seemed a bit off, like he'd rather be anywhere else. I've seen him sing it better with and without Farnsey.
@@mrmockatoo6786 he was too busy getting on the booze backstage to bother warming up at all, just figured he'd go out on stage and wing it. Those are his words.
@@kane29842 I didn't know that but that's what it looked and sounded like to me too.
Yeah, u can tell jimmy didnt prep for this
