It's 2021 and I'm enjoying all the American and UK 'reactors' who have just discovered John. He is a living legend ....what a God given voice
Still applicable in 2022 ;-)
absolutely with you! Just brilliant!
And in 2023!! 😁
Can we just get on the train and go back to the 80's.
Voice what voice
How can you listen to this and not get blown away! ❣️
This get's me everytime♥️
Yep and cry 😢 such a legend ❤
John Farnham one of the greatest voices ever, Brett Garsed one of the greatest guitarists to ever live.
Farnham. Hirschfelder. Garsed. Burchell. That’s a line up of raw talent. Add in Fields, Nelson and Field and you get perhaps the best Aussie live gig ever!
Best voice that’s ever come out of Australia ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Eeeeek, a lot of reactors are saying the greatest ever to hold a microphone….
Not just Australia.
Man, his voice is on another level.
This song is still relevant today. John Farnham's passion, performance and vocals during the late 1980's was beautiful. His band, particularly David Hirschfelder (keyboards) and his lead guitarist (Bret Garsed) were outstanding.
That guitarist has a very international flavor. Very "american." He's on another level to the Aussie guitarists.
Don't forget Angus on the drums. His band is one of the finest in the world. Even Kylie Mingoue used his live band for one of tours in Australia. I think it was the Impossible Princess tour in the late 90s
How can anyone make cold chisel look bland….. JF, the greatest voice to take a breath from god, and fortunate I was growing up with him as the soundtrack of my childhood.
Can't believe this man wasn't an international star! He and I sing very similar and that's because I'm aiming to be an American Farnham. I sang this song last night I think and practice these songs all the time. He also was incredibly handsome. Little River Band were so much better when they had him. All the hate he gets is sickening. He is in my mind the greatest singer.
John was reluctant to do any tours or promotional tours of the USA after he left LRB. Apparently according to Glenn Wheatley John asked Glenn don’t make him successful in US
Elvis doesn't come close to this.PERFECTION!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
So very relevant for now. I am so very sad for the Israeli people and other innocent citizens who have suffered in this needless slaughter of human life.
Well said mate..well said.
This song is part of Australian rock music history: John Farnham was a seminal figure in popular music with his formidable vocal range and his heart-on-sleeve ballads, he helped dismantle the previous solid jaw image of aussie maledom. Here he is the perfect interpreter of a song classic that comes from a time of post-Vietnam disturbance and unease, a song that tells of fierce young love & reckless quarrel, separation & regret, longing & remorse, realisation & resolution.
Wow nice summary, I kinda love it. But you got it right with John's singing , great song , it hits you in the heart then drags it through your ears.
Amen xxx
Yes!
the greatest voice in history forget elvis! Here is a beautiful soul with the pitch and range that other singers could ever hope for. Still humble and real. He is the real deal!
The best vocal talent Australia has ever known🙏🙏🙏
IMO, as a citizen of the US, he is one of the best vocal talents anywhere. TG for CZcams that we have been able to discover him, too.
The high notes in this performance are ridiculous.
Everything else sounds like elevator musak after this guy!!!!!
The best live performance of this song. I'm blown away listening to it 30+ years later. Even better than the Chisel original. Farnham's vocal outta this world.
Serkan Kalkan I totally agree with you. He has such an amazing voice. I've loved him since I was 4 😍💖
I actually think he sang this song with even more presence and feeling back in 2003 from his live show called the last time. He is definitely one of the best male singer in the world. And he should be in the hall of fame a long time ago.
Totally agree. It still gives me chills to this day. I remember watching this concert on tv when I was 12! It was a huge thing and just about everyone watched it!
How the hell does he reach those notes without looking like he's yawning.its incredible
Voice training and voice exercises. Best place to train is, in a paddock, or in your car.
1. Vocal training
2. He is a countertenor, a rare male singing voice type that sits between the female alto and the male tenor.
It's just John. He is unique
Best version of this song by a country Mile.
I've been to so many of his concerts over the years, and I've been completely blown away every single time. He is the greatest vocalist and performer I've ever had the privilege of hearing and seeing live.
It is June 17- 2024. I this one and I love the one when John is in his 50s thankyou
One of the best live vocal perfomances ive ever seen..Farnham at his very best.
This live arrangement is much better than the recorded version IMO.
The backing vocals are absolutely top notch too. :)
Agreed. This is my go to version. Farnham couldn't sing a bad note if he tried.
I always prefer him live. Better then the studio vocals .
@@michellebostock4276 definitely👌
By FAR the best version of this song.
He’s brilliant, and backed by equally brilliant musicians and singers.
What’s not to like, that stage is full of Australia’s talent Pure Gold.
If this isn't the Best Voice in the World, then I haven't heard it yet...John's Vocal Range and Passion is Just Amazing :)
Yep...we know that...but he still doesn't appear on any published list yet. Most give it to the guy from Queen or even MJ!
Farnham didn't have the international profile of Freddie or MJ, but clearly one of the best of that era. He was one of the first singers considered by Queen to replace Freddie but it never happened apart from some minor collabs in 2000 when he was past his prime. Farnham is my favourite singer. Best live singer Ive heard
Mike Patton is better. Farnham not far behind.
Farnham could sing any Patton song with ease,Patton would be bloody ordinary singing Farnhams songs.
Baha. No worries mate rock up with some footage of John doing the Fantomas stuff or DEP stuff. Be sure he covers all five plus octaves including the whistle register. *waits*
Brett Garsed is an absolute monster guitarist. Just awesome.
Chris ACT... agreeded the guitar on this just stuck with me back when I first heard it....was like who is this guy???
Brett Garsed's distortion tone on this is a text book example of how it can be used not for heavy metal but creates a "Sweet" sound! Take particular note in his solo.
"How can I go home and not get blown away" as sung by John Farnham - I lack the vocabulary to describe just how amazing this is. Utterly sublime is the best I can come up with.
Jimmy Barnes sang it incredibly well, but Farnsey is the one that gives me chills.
John is the Voice of the World 🌎 ❤️ 🙌
THE best performance of this song right here, he hits the high note at 4.05 which he doesn't do in ANY other version of this song.
The best vocal l have ever heard !
I have listened to various versions and without a shadow of doubt and in my personal opinion this particular cover he did in this Whispering Jack concert is by far the best. What a privilege having listened to this man for years whilst living Down Under ❤️
I wonder what it must feel like to have a whole stadium in complete silence, hanging on every note that you sing with absolute awe. You can see why they get such big egos- but not John. Yet another reason why he’s so awesome. ❤️
Well said☺️
Gib Williamson,,, "John Farnham" Just as good here at the end of 2022 as he was then, One of Aussie's greatest singers,,, Have to say also Brett Garsed is no slouch on Guitar
That is the best voice anywhere. ❤
Love Farnham. I went to a few of his Melbourne concerts in the late 80’s. The way he sang this song on this video. 🥺😭💛
He’s awesome and yes his range is out of this world. I don’t think I’ve ever heard him in his head voice. Even his highest of notes are in his chest. Spot on every time.
John has the biggest voice in the would. Not one thing can take John's voice away.
It still sounds good after all these years!
Michael Halsall Sure does Never tire listening to John Farnham Such a time waster
Big smile on my face watching this 😁🇦🇺
Amazing vocals. Best version of this song.
Thankyou john I am still here thanks to you..
Deffo one of the best voices ever in Rock music
John Farnham just as good now at then of 2019 as he ever was
Love this man, his voice and talent this is one of my favourites but I truly love all his songs.John Farnham is simply the best. Thanks Johnny.
I love this song....and even better John Farnham is singing it...Love the words "you and me we used each other's shoulders"...
Man ...John sure know how to touch your heart with that incredible voice of his,
Probably the best singer I've ever seen live. Oh and folks...No autotune..
A rendition that Cold Chisel would be proud of. Gives me chills everytime. Verse starting at 3.30 - gets me each time.
definitive version of this song right here
A very emotional song sung by a true artist
What an amazing voice,definitely the Voice of the World 🌎 ❤️
What a voice ❤️ hope he’s getting better now 🥰🙏
Yet again so much talent, I think this is the best version of this track.
Agreed. By far the best rendition of this classic John has ever performed to date. Heart and soul performance. I have this concert on DVD and Video tape. Watched this more times than I can say in the past 35 years.
Gives me goosebumps. Just amazing ❤
Extra thumbs up for the guitarist . Awesome stuff
I remember when this was live on tv, it was an event!! An amazing concert to watch, I was 12 and still remember it fondly.
purple2275 I was a similar age, slightly younger - was indeed a landmark. We taped it off the TV and watched it thousands of times. Still love catching Farnsey live these days when he can... he has had a comeback vocally and is sounding better than ever !
Oz for Africa....... does that ring a bell. My parents had the whole lot on vhs.......three tapes.... it was truly awesome.
@@lukashynes2797 definitely not Oz for Africa. This was from his whole complete concert.
john's version of this song really hits the spot thank you
Totally agree. I think John's version is the best version I've heard, even better than the original by Cold Chisel!
I dedicate this song to a beautiful man a legend in his own right,he can hold his head high he has won the war the Honourable James Douglas Packer yours fondly Emma Charles.Thankyou.
Yes, that is the fabulous Wayne Nelson on Bass!! I love Wayne's singing voice!!!
The performance of "Your the Voice" that has the children's chorus is from this same concert. The Whispering Jack Live Concert. It is on CZcams.
He always sing from his heart.
what a fantastic performance!
Great to see Rambo out of South-East Asia and getting on with life.
He's truly the voice! And Rocky Ballboa is killing it at the guitar!
More like Rambo 😂
Yeh his nickname was Rambo 🤣🤣🤣
Guitarist's name is Brett Garsed, who still is in the Farnham band today

Tubby..YES!..I'm going to post this and the Let Me Out solo on gear page and HRI....People have to remember Brett was coming up with this unique feel in the mid 80's when everyone was copying Malmsteen and Vai...Brett's guitar playing stands on it's own against those giants of the day!!...Aussie salute to Brett!!
God bless you 🙏
I love this song so much.
Who’s listening in 2020?

Damn i like this
Back here again.... And damn I like this. John's voice is ouuta this world.
I love this song it's amazing
du hast eine wundervolle stimme..love you
Cold chisel wrote it but johnny owns it
Yes. This song was written by Steve Prestwich, the drummer with Cold Chisel. Steve also played drums for a little while for LRB when John was lead vocalist. I have a feeling John recorded this song with LRB with Prestwich on drums.
so good!
And loves his fans❤❤❤❤❤
OMG 😀
Brett Garsed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who’s listening in 2021?
Listening♥️
2022.
From the tv mini series sword of honour ☺️
i remember that great series . it really hit me emotionally . when he reacted to his perceived and real and misguided betrayal .i could feel his disgust pain and anger .
ain't nobody gonna stealthis heart away
Pull them Pants Up Soldier!?
❤rip John
Fk off, he hasn't even died! He's been in recovery from mouth and jaw cancer surgery since last August ya dingbat! 🤦♀️🤣
Is Wayne Nelson the bassist? It sure looks like him.
Yes, he's an old mate of Farnham from LRB days.
what can you say lol
I still say Jimmy Barnes is a screamer not a singer.
