Absolutely Rick! And possibly one of his best is "You'll Never Walk Alone" with his son David Campbell at Carols by Candlelight, just for the raw emotion czcams.com/video/KG-E_HtfBN8/video.html.
Yeah he’s quite good at it as well, including that series of un plugged vids he posted where he invites other singers home to his lounge room to sing the first song they ever recorded or the first song they ever loved. Not brilliant but definitely fun.
You’ve seen John by himself, and Jimmy by himself. What’s next? Surely a duet between both of them. John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes - When Something is Wrong With My Baby.
Jimmy Barnes “Barnsy” as he is colloquially known, has a MASSIVE back-catalogue stretching back to the early ‘70’s when Cold Chisel stormed into the public consciousness. Like all great artists “Chisel” as they are known, grew in popularity and influence after they disbanded and are generally regarded as one of the greatest and most seminal “Pub Rock” bands in Australian music history. Each and every member of Chisel is/was a master musician and songwriter in their own right and they combined to reflect the Australian experience of the 1970’s and ‘80’s with masterful lyrics coupled to exceptional musicianship and aggressive and energetic performances. Cold Chisel released 5 studio albums in their original 10 years together and have subsequently released a massively popular live album and some 3 or 4 subsequent albums in recent years, all of which have charted well. Jimmy himself released his #1 debut solo album “Bodyswerve” in 1984, less than a year after Chisel broke up and has released some 21 solo and collaboration, studio albums, up to this point in time (2023) most of which have been highly commercially successful chart-toppers. Wether you start with Cold Chisel as a group or Jimmy Barnes as a soloist, (not to mention the sublime Ian Moss or Don Walker) you have opened yourself to a MASSIVELY important and large Australian musical rabbit-hole… Enjoy, as we will enjoy watching you 🇦🇺👍
This is the way to Start a day for sure!What an Awesome blues rock Song . What a Voice he has. I knew of John Farnham but not Jimmy Barnes . The Aussies have kept him hidden somewhere like secret Treasure ! 😊Amazing 👏 Good pick Jem . Thankyou Shawn Another Great discovery here !
Thanks @Christine, glad you liked it 😀. We do have some awesome talent that the world missed out on. Through channels like this we are now able to share them!
A must watch is Jimmy with his band Cold Chisel performing Bow River, but it has to be the 2003 ringside tour live performance. You won't get any better than that.
Info on Joe Bonamassa. He started his career at age twelve, when he opened for B.B. King . All Jimmy's kids can sing. His daughter Mahalia has toured with Joe.
John and Jimmy did some collaborations as well, look up Something is wrong with my Baby. They absolutely smash that, two Aussie legends compliment each other on this one
Don Walker, the keyboard player of Cold Chisel wrote this. He didn't write it especially for Jimmy, but it sort of morphed into Jimmy's love letter to his wife Jane [been married over 40 years]. All his kids sing and play instruments. His Daughter Mahalia sings with Joe Bonamassa too, as well as solo, and she has a great soul/blues voice. Well worth a look at her, if you get the time.
Australia has never hidden their singers. Unfortunately, unless Australian artists permanently relocated to USA, they could not get airplay and Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham refused to relocate. Nowadays it is easier with the advent of the internet and social media platforms. Hence the wider world wide audience can now appreciate our long and varied musical history.
As always, I'm so glad you enjoyed another one of our Aussie legends!!! Joe's guitar and Jimmy's vocals go so well together, along with the top notch musicians of Joe's band! The performance I was tossing between requesting was Jimmy with his band Cold chisel doing a cover of Wild Thing on their Last Stand Tour from 1983...It really is WILD and the best cover of that classic rock toon and Jimmy is at his wild best! I went with this one as is an original song and also included an American connection with Joe, who incidentally was discovered by B B King at age 12! There are plenty of options for you to look at with Jimmy and his band Cold Chisel along with duets with John Farnham. I'm sure they will all be suggested in the comments! Cold Chisel did try to enter the US market but after being messed around by some record industry execs returned to Australia and wrote a song You've Got Nothing I Want in response to the experience!
@@jamieclifford3537, yup, I'll second/third the request for Wild Thing live with Cold Chisel (the Last Stand version). It always blows people's minds! 😄
I’ll fourth the request to do Cold Chisel Wild Thing. It’s the best version of the song ever done hands down. Jimmy is an absolute legend. He has soul, grit, range and power.
great that you are discovering some of the wealth of talent in australia, like jimmy and john, there's a lot more, try billy thorpe and the aztecs from 1971 on gtk performing mama, the birth of true rock in australia
Thanks Shawn. It's great watching your enjoyment of a new discovery. Barnsey and Farnsey performing "When Something is Wrong with my Baby" has been suggested by many in the comments, and I agree. So here's a link czcams.com/video/RAlFHSPLHpo/video.html. This performance was on a popular variety show at the time - Hey Hey It's Saturday (don't be alarmed by the pink ostrich at the start!). The guitarist is Johnny Diesel a popular performer in his own right with his band Johnny Diesel & The Injectors. He is also Jimmy's brother in law.
Check out cold chisels version of wild thing from the last stand tour 1983, also listening a lot to jimmy's daughter mahalia recently so check her out too, amazing talented family
❤ your reaction as well as the script sent by whoever brought you this; only one thing missing from it, and that may be bc it was so clear anyway, and that is the truth of the love Jimmy has for his wife June. What a rare thing they are in the business.
My suggestion would be to check out some Cold Chisel. They have a vast catalogue to react to. I'd suggest Bow River from their Ringside tour or their cover of Wild Thing from their Last Stand tour as your starting points.
Love this performance ❤. I would suggest you check out Jimmy with Tina Turner, Simply the Best. Love the studio version of this one. Enjoyed your reaction.
A Jimmy Barnes Cold Chisel hit Flame trees, which was based on his small country town in Australia. (GOULBURN)IT really is a great song.I enjoy your reactions, and I do realise that JIM was a missed opportunity for most western countries. THANX for your reactions darl'n
There's nothing l need to say about Jimmy but the fecken LEGEND all Australians know but I'd seen Joe a few times with Beth Hart..this song really showed his brilliance on the guitar what a brilliant collaboration
Could I suggest you check out Jimmy Barnes Soothe Me with Sam Moore. This song is his most recent he released it last year just after his 66th birthday. Jimmy was 58 in the video you just reacted to.
No your country rejected them when in band cold chisel They came home and wrote a song about it with the middle finger to the American establishment Watch him as youngster in cold chisel Cover wild thing live performance last stand version They have another singer Ian moss who as good and amazing guitarist as well as singer he doesn't sing much in this one John Jimmy always live only always better If you want to watch both ledgens together look up When something wrong with my baby This is John and Jimmy singing together commonly known as farnsey and barnsey by Aussie's They both have atleast one no1s in every decade for 5 to 6 decades in Australia 🇦🇺 Also about to realise a documentary on John end of month from start and the struggles never easy Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍
Your invitation to aussies to reveal ourselves - we’re not hiding - just living at the arse end of the world - well you’re mostly going to get Barnsey And Farnsey because that seems to be the demographic for the CZcams reaction gang and they’re mostly ready to drop off the perch sadly, they being artists and fans both. When I was young I preferred US artists. Jimmy was always drunk and Farnham sung a lot of crap songs though his voice is phenomenal. But now I too am feeling the inevitable loss. When The War is Over is a classic song - best version Cold Chisel, live, 2010. Jimmy doesn’t sing much but contributes greatly to the play. Farnham also covers this song but I don’t recommend bc he’s in throw to his nutty fans and so has to loose all the gravity the song calls for. Bow River is another classic from the same concert and my personal fav. But if you’re wanting to hear Jimmy per se then you should check out “flesh & wood” 1993, compared to CC it’s semi - unplugged. A lot of the classic CC songs and others, without the vodka.
There’s other veins in Australian music that aren’t being tapped by CZcams reactions. Possibly the most iconic: czcams.com/video/Jf-jHCdafZY/video.html&ab_channel=YothuYindi. Most people know and understand this song, almost as many love it, and if most of those who love it take that love to a referendum in August, we will be a better country.
Vika & Linda have got much better than this feature with the Black Sorrows but it’s hard to find the production that can match their talent. If you want more, please let me know. End of rant.
Super appreciate all the info and the US music scene is greatly to blame for so many great artists not getting exposure. The record companies were corrupt and inept! Thanks Kathy!
Ah yep, another true Oz legend. Generally had stronger material than John, but his voice is a bit 'small doses' for me. You certainly can't mistake him for anyone else though. As with John and You're the Voice Jimmy did scrape the US charts with his own signature tune Working Class Man, written and produced by Jonathan Cain (y'know, back before he was a mentalist).
If you want to see real jimmy go watch cold chisel wild thing then tell me it's not the best live show performance ever I know big claims just go watch
America rejected Jimmy when he went there to break into the music scene because he wouldn't let them tell him what kind of music he should produce. You missed out on a great singer because US music producers are morons. Like John Farnham he decided to give the American music scene a miss and stay in Australia. Lucky for us.
Australia wasn't hiding.... it was just our artists had no time for greedy BS music executives on the main labels in the USA or UK........ this is why we were so glad that the internet started.... so we could start sharing our talent..... not just musical.... but right back to Errol Flynn.... our actors rock as well lmfao.... Hugh Jackman, Cate Blanchett anyone?
When Something is Wrong with my Baby, live, featuring Jimmy & John. Sensational!
Up next. Thanks Cheryl!
@@ReactionsToTheClassicsyou have to do the live version on hey hey it’s Saturday. Easily the best performance and won’t get demonotized.
"Australia you've been hiding stuff from us here in the states"....Yep,you have no idea!! 😉 SO much more to discover truly!
✌️🇦🇺
haha I can only imagine!
I love all of Jimmy's collaborations...whether it's Tina Turner, Joe Bonamassa, John Farnham or Sam Moore.
Absolutely Rick! And possibly one of his best is "You'll Never Walk Alone" with his son David Campbell at Carols by Candlelight, just for the raw emotion czcams.com/video/KG-E_HtfBN8/video.html.

Really appreciate the suggestion and thanks for watching @georgeibrahim7945!
Yes, another great song, and please, please do the 2003 live version not the 1980s version because it's an absolute masterpiece.
