It was John's concert with guests. That was the kiss of friendship with Olivia as they are longtime friends. John has been married to the love of his life, Jill, since their teens. For another song in this concert, with a different guest, please check out John singing, and having good, silly fun with another Australian , ANTHONY WARLOW, who is Mr. Showman. They sing the famous, "Granada," together. Anthony's voice is on another knockout level. Bye-the-way you are allowed to have days, holidays off etc. We followers are not that demanding !We don't want you to burn out.
just as a correction, this wasn't John's concert with guests. The Main Event was arranged as an Aussie version of the Liza, Sammy and Frank trio. They shared billing and wasn't a Farnham concert with guests, each had equal stage time and solo spots.
Let's also not deny the chemistry and beauty between the two of you! We new fans of your channel note it with some regularity for a reason. The warmth of you both toward each other, even the simple expressions of graciousness when you inadvertently interrupt one another, is very heart warming. It's such a pleasure to watch you engage as you discover new music together. Much love from Australia.
Yessss, so nice to share with these beautiful people so much in love, so patient and respectful of each other. It makes me very happy, I always enjoy watching.
Excited to see you guys react to this awesome performance. The chemistry between these two is out of this world. John’s vocals are crazy the older he gets the better they get like a fine wine.
Olivia has battled cancer several times, and still is having that challenge in her life. I think was just after she had been given the all clear the first time and their friendship shows so well - I believe John was channeling his relief that his good friend came through that battle. The song is about someone who loves a person already in a relationship, and in John's solo it really comes across that he would never make his feelings known and complicate her happy relationship. Such a sad reflective song.
Yes nice words, just to let you know that John in the last 10 days has had surgery for throat cancer. He's in intensive care, let's pray he gets well soon, we don't want to lose another great Aussie
John and Olivia sang a duet at the opening of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games called Dare to Dream for the athletes. They weren't on a stage but down amongst the athletes.
I thought it was in the closing ceremony. Also, the Sydney Olympics were awesome, especially the commentary from those guys that came up with all those funny slangs!
@@Cyberbrickmaster1986 it was the opening ceremony. I saw them perform at the rehearsal because my niece was one of the many school children in it. Olivia wished the athletes good luck at the end.
@@Cyberbrickmaster1986 I couldn't understand what you meant by the funny guys at first, lol That's Roy & HG they were so funny. The show was called The Dream, they did a commentary about the events for the Olympics. It's on CZcams somewhere
LOVED THIS PERFORMANCE by John and Olivia, I went to a concert in Adelaide, Australia some years ago now, they blend beautifully together. John and Olivia have been close friends for many years. Olivia has been very unwell for a few years now battling with cancer for the second time, have not heard lately how she's going. Enjoy watching your reaction and your smiles. Take care both of you from Adelaide, Australia. 💐😍🇦🇺🦘🐨🇦🇺🦘🐨🤗
Unfortunately this is her third bout and she's stable. She seems in good spirits in the few interviews she gives. Lucky you to be able to go to their concert. I never got there but have the DVD.
Nostalgia Time...check out the Seekers, "I am Australian" (2000) from the Australia Day Concert just months before the opening of the Olympics. The elderly guy with the Bush hat sitting next to Swimming Legend Ian Thorpe is Slim Dusty, Country music Icon who released over 100 albums over a 60 year career before passing away in 2003. Thx
This was such a beautiful performance from these two great singers. They are great friends and have recorded and performed together. The song itself was a hit for John I think back in the 70s. This particular performance was part of The Main Event concert featuring John, Olivia and Anthony Warlow. You guys would love it. A real mix of solo, duet and trio singing with comedy. Olivia is a wonderful human being - doing a lot of work for her cancer charity - meaningful work that has resulted in actual facilities and equipment being provided in the state of Victoria, Australia. She is currently going through her 3rd bout of cancer and we can only pray she will pull through. And ... I heard you say "crikey". I think we might have to adopt you both.
The song in that movie, Grease is the word, was written by Barry Gibb, of the Bee Gees. Olivia has a large catalogue too, like "" I Honestly Love You." She has had cancer multuple times.
Lifelong friends and it shows the magic of their chemistry is crystal clear on stage. Simply a wonderful performance as you are drawn into their almost private conversation with music. Ty again for your honest reaction Keep Strong Keep Safe
These two are legends in Australia .Both have been around since the 60's and have massive careers. John has been in live theatre eg jesus Christ Superstar. Olivia also has a film career and was in Grease with John Travolta. Both are genuine, kind and lovely people.
I remember this concert, sitting in the nose-bleed section but still loving every second! 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺 I still have the coffee mug! 😆😆😆😆 John still has the whacky sense of humour. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The reason why do don’t know the song is because it was written by an Australian songwriter who was a member of the Australian group, Little River Band and was originally released by John Farnham as a soloist. If they were all Americans all the world would know it. It is a shame that Australian music which is world class is only being discovered now by other people.
If I may suggest an artist.. Chris Stapleton, “Tennessee Whiskey” Austin City Limits performance. He’s country with a whole lot of blues.. you’ll be surprised. The backup singer is his wife, she’s amazing on her own. Good reactions, keep it up!!!👍👍👍
As someone else mentioned, from the same concert, you should check out John with Anthony Warlow (Aus Opera singer and musical theatre performer). They muck around and are quite silly, but totally showcase their extraordinary voices by singing each others music.
Farnsey can sing a Chinese restaurant menu and make you drool. I think Olivia was in recovery from another bout of cancer but agreed to do the tour because she was in safe hands with John.
Gosh, I called you B1 and B2 before seeing this vid, and wowzer! B2 is dressed perfectly but B1 is over ripe. LOL. I was in love with Olivia (still am) as was the rest of the planet. Great reaction and beautiful song. Their chemistry is on par with yours. I love my bananas.
You need to watch more from this concert, The Main Event, staring John Farnham, Anthony Warlow and Olivia Newton John, there's plenty of laughs and jokes throughout the concert, you need to check out the next song after this one also by Olivia and John You're The One That I Want, cheers from Australia czcams.com/video/GHIWoxFygIg/video.html
Thank you for this one, it's a personal favourite. The theme of unreqited love in the lyrics, performed so beautifully alway makes me a little misty eyed. Surprised and delighted you picked up on Farnham's vocal power in relation to his mic technique. Another great example of this (and another amazing clip all over) is Elvis's "American Trilogy" from his globally televised "Aloha from Hawaii" concert where, on the final note, he holds the mic at arms length.
Livvie had come out of her second battle with cancer... I think their bond is so strong from decades of being friends that he probably got emotional at the end - she has been through such a hard battle (and is currently in it again ) I'm sure it hit him that there may not be so many more opportunities for them to perform together easily-not on this scale anyhow. Thank you again for yet another respectful and honest reaction. (and the 'crikey' was perfect !)
She was six years cancer free after her first bout with breast cancer when they did the Main Event Tour. This concert was in 1998 (she had cancer for the first time in 1992), she had it again in 2013, and her current diagnosis was in 2017.
@@IBGECKO I know - as a breast cancer survivor myself, when I say 'coming out', 6 yrs is really only one year post the 5yr clearance that they forecast for most of us.
@@JoSedunary Well done, in coming through the other side of breast cancer! I was merely correcting what you said about her having come through her second cancer diagnosis when they performed this song, when it was in fact after her first bout with cancer. This concert was in 1998, and her second cancer diagnosis was not until 2013.
John has been the consummate performer for over 5 decades now. No matter what genre he sings you cannot deny the strength of his pipes. He is a comedian, an actor - all natural abilities. We Aussies love him and Olivia together. They were best mates - have both been singing and performing for the same amount of time. RIP Olivia or Livvie as John used to call him. Livvie passed away of stage 4 cancer in August 2022 just 2 weeks before John had 12 hour mouth cancer surgery. He had to have half of his jaw removed, but thank God he is cancer free. He last performed live at the age of 73 and was still so powerful holding the mike about 12 inches away 🥰🤩😍
😀👏 Thanks for reacting to this beautiful song. Yes!!. Olivia acted in two musicals. Xanadu, and Grease. She was 34 (I think) when she starred in Grease. She has a voice that goes well with duets. She has also recorded albums. Check her out when you can. And of course, JF, Phenomenal, as always. .. 👍🙏🌺
I know that John & Olivia are great friends, but as his wife of forever, Jillian, it would've still been hard for me to hear him sing THIS particular song to Olivia & then kiss her!😳 Jillian is a stronger woman than I am!😊
I think at some point you should look into other duets between them like the Sydney Olympic opening ceremony 2000 when they sang together DARE TO DREAM. That's on CZcams too. This is a beautiful song and they do have a great chemistry together. Both had similar history - both came from England. Liv born in 1948, him 1949 and both ended up in Melbourne, Victoria being brought up. Liv and her friend started their career on Melbourne TV and so did John. I think from memory Liv in about 1962 and I believe she won a contest with her friend Pat who ended up marrying her songwriter (John Farrar). They won the contest and went to England where she met Cliff Richard and appeared on his show. Pat returned to Australia but Liv didn't and ended up in America doing songs for country like LET ME BE THERE IN THE MORNING. She was well known for her records and beautiful singing voice. By the time she was on Grease in 1978 she had a following of fans from the country music industry in Nashville. She did do other movies like Xanadu where she met her husband Matt Lattanzi and had her daughter Chloe. The marriage didn't last but over the years she kept returning to Australia and had a wonderful health spa facility in Ballina, New South Wales. John's first claim to fame was SADIE THE CLEANING LADY which he gets ribbed about singing all the time. He did it in 1967 and it is on youtube too. Again, filmed in Melbourne - probably Bandstand, which was a popular show back then. Thinking that was the same show Liv was on with Pat.
John is still crazy and funny. John and Livvy have known each other since they started. Lisa is one of John’s backup singers. My husband went to school with Livvy and our youngest daughter won a singing contest with this song in the finals. I didn’t know it was one of John’s songs until she told us before she started. The judges didn’t either. One wrote on her papers that she didn’t like John until she heard this song. Now she was going home to listen to more of his music. John is not called the Voice for no reason, his range is off the charts and he can sing Opera. He did in this concert you just watched with Anthony Warlow. It is the Main Event concert and they sing Granada. John is so funny, Anthony and Livvy are great. All three are kind and wonderful people.
Young or old . John can still rock it . There is a version of We Will Rock You that John did with Queen when he was in his late 60's. But you are right, the look,the moves, the voice and the hair when he was younger. A sight no one should miss
@@markjames3522 sorry my bad. I was thinking live performance. My head was thinking this one..from 2018 ish m.czcams.com/video/VtZQU-Oa_2s/video.html and mixing it up with this one, with Brian May. Both Farnsey in his late 60'sm.czcams.com/video/lqjNWuM2z-Q/video.html woops senior moment....either way a late 60's Farnham still rocking it.
@@markjames3522 oh and here's another one if him rocking it out in his late 60's "long way to the top. See where is was going now". m.czcams.com/video/F7mJk6w5MGE/video.html
@@carolynh8866 John has been performing AC/DC Long Way To The Top since 1988 the year he recorded it . John does it out respect of the late Bon Scott when AC/DC doesn’t play it anymore for the same reasons . AC/DC aren’t really thrilled that John Farnham keeps playing Long Way To The Top live but least he’s keeping Bon Scott signature song alive .
I'm really enjoying your reactions, but don't know either of your names?? Cold Chisel has hard rock songs and ballads and songs in between. Other hard rock include 'You got Nothing I want', 'Standing on the outside looking in', and 'Cheap Wine' in addition to Bow River and Khe Sanh. 'Breakfast at Sweethearts' and 'Saturday Night' are bluesy-jazzy. Choir Girl, Forever Now are ballads. So many great songs!! You should also check out Jimmy's solo stuff - 'Working Class Man'
John still has a little "crazy" in his performances, I watched him live at the fire fight concert in Sydney 2 years ago and he still has it in him. 👊🇦🇺 I do get your point though, I guess we all adjust a little as we get older🙂

Please react to John singing when the war is over from a live show called the last time. Its insanely good. Its from 2003 and he is singing without jimmy barnes. (Solo)
Beautiful reaction from you both. If you want to hear John sing a bit of opera ...he does another duet from the same show with Australian Anthony Warlow.... John shows his 'funny side' in this but his voice can indeed sing opera...lol czcams.com/video/K6uxFKmCXB8/video.html
I'm going to suggest three DIFFERENT musical options, all outstanding. Tommy Emmanuel, his song, Initiation. He is possibly, no, PROBABLY, the best guitarist in the world, but in this case he's using his guitar to imitate the eerie sounds of a million square km of empty Australian desert known only to the Aboriginals. Classical Gas is another stunning example of his work. The second is Tash Sultana, at this stage mostly known to people who REALLY know music. Tash might become a top 20 guitar player, she's only 26, plays a gazillion instruments. Play; Welcome To The Jungle Bedroom Concert. Then, why not? One of the most beautiful songs of all time, Bayini, sung by Gurrumul and Delta Goodrem, on The Voice.
It is a very sad love song. It is about 2 people who love each other but they are already married to different people and know that it is tragically futile.
Another one you may wish to try -Kylie Minogue, John Farnham, Ray Charles - I Can't Stop Loving You - Crown Casino - 1997 czcams.com/video/jPf1HjGWQrE/video.html
Thank you for your wonderful and honest reactions. I love the chemistry between you and the respect you show each other. For a song where John doesn't over-power his female partner try Amazing Grace with Vanetta Fields and Lindsay Field (czcams.com/video/_x6N94OEkZQ/video.html). Probably another song that isn't your cup of tea but truly remarkable vocal performances, especially by Vanetta and John - the 1st half without musical accompaniment. Starts off very slow, but stay with it! Another example of John putting his backing singers into the spotlight, as he did with Lisa Edwards with Angels. Another pairing where John doesn't rule the roost is My Yiddishe Momme with Tom Jones (czcams.com/video/y0AAsl20VeY/video.html). Tom his one of John's favourite singers.

AC/DC aren’t really thrilled that John Farnham keeps playing Long Way To The Top live but least he’s keeping Bon Scott signature song alive .
@@markjames3522 yes absolutely
Please react to John Farnham singing Black Dog in a sound check, you will love it.
I'm really enjoying your reactions, but don't know either of your names??
Cold Chisel has hard rock songs and ballads and songs in between.
Other hard rock include 'You got Nothing I want', 'Standing on the outside looking in', and 'Cheap Wine' in addition to Bow River and Khe Sanh.
'Breakfast at Sweethearts' and 'Saturday Night' are bluesy-jazzy.
Choir Girl, Forever Now are ballads.
So many great songs!!
You should also check out Jimmy's solo stuff - 'Working Class Man'
John still has a little "crazy" in his performances, I watched him live at the fire fight concert in Sydney 2 years ago and he still has it in him.
👊🇦🇺
I do get your point though, I guess we all adjust a little as we get older🙂
For crazy check out Long Way to the Top from Classic Jack live with Melbourne Symphony.
🥰This from a show called🇦🇺 The Main Event.🎉Check out Granada 🫶from the same show.💕It had John ( Rock), Olivia (pop), and Anthony Warlow (opera).🫶Then do 🤞Hey Hey it’s Saturday 🫶with the Aussie Cast of ⭐️Jesus Christ Superstar.⭐️🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

Please react to John singing when the war is over from a live show called the last time. Its insanely good. Its from 2003 and he is singing without jimmy barnes. (Solo)
It is the best version.
I'd say it's an unrequited love song.
Check out the Tesky Brother from Melbourne Australia.
Please react to A Whiter Shade of Pale, Procol Harum, Denmark 2006, you'll totally love this!!
Beautiful harmonies, thank you for sharing. I am waiting to see if you react to Dimash, I know that his voice will touch after seeing this ❤️
Please react to Bee Gees, TOO MUCH HEAVEN. They are from Australia 🔥💯
he sings your the voice with celene deon ? at her melbourne concert it is very good he probably 70 at the time
Beautiful reaction from you both. If you want to hear John sing a bit of opera ...he does another duet from the same show with Australian Anthony Warlow.... John shows his 'funny side' in this but his voice can indeed sing opera...lol czcams.com/video/K6uxFKmCXB8/video.html
Thank you! 😍
I'm going to suggest three DIFFERENT musical options, all outstanding. Tommy Emmanuel, his song, Initiation. He is possibly, no, PROBABLY, the best guitarist in the world, but in this case he's using his guitar to imitate the eerie sounds of a million square km of empty Australian desert known only to the Aboriginals. Classical Gas is another stunning example of his work. The second is Tash Sultana, at this stage mostly known to people who REALLY know music. Tash might become a top 20 guitar player, she's only 26, plays a gazillion instruments. Play; Welcome To The Jungle Bedroom Concert. Then, why not? One of the most beautiful songs of all time, Bayini, sung by Gurrumul and Delta Goodrem, on The Voice.
A very young Tommy Emanuel was once part of a very young John Farnham's band. John sure knew how to put together a great band!
@@li22ietopper26 playing drums or guitar?
Love Olivia but Farnham is in a class of his own!
😀
It is a very sad love song. It is about 2 people who love each other but they are already married to different people and know that it is tragically futile.
"Crikey, his voice is so good", You almost sound Australian.
Sorry this is nice but please listen to John singing this with the MSO it’s his sing and he sings it so beautiful.
Another one you may wish to try -Kylie Minogue, John Farnham, Ray Charles - I Can't Stop Loving You - Crown Casino - 1997

Thank you for your wonderful and honest reactions. I love the chemistry between you and the respect you show each other. For a song where John doesn't over-power his female partner try Amazing Grace with Vanetta Fields and Lindsay Field (czcams.com/video/_x6N94OEkZQ/video.html). Probably another song that isn't your cup of tea but truly remarkable vocal performances, especially by Vanetta and John - the 1st half without musical accompaniment. Starts off very slow, but stay with it! Another example of John putting his backing singers into the spotlight, as he did with Lisa Edwards with Angels. Another pairing where John doesn't rule the roost is My Yiddishe Momme with Tom Jones (czcams.com/video/y0AAsl20VeY/video.html). Tom his one of John's favourite singers.
Thank you so much for your kind words and your suggestions! We are hoping to check them out soon! 😍
