  • 4:05 EPIC WIN

  • I know what a legit live concert sounds like and that was it. GREAT

  • Love this song...the message is loud & clear...just love the bagpipe segment...

  • Legendary

  • There is no greater inspiration

  • John has not "lip synced" since he was forced to on 60s television shows. If it looks like he is, maybe the sound is not synced with the video very well on YouTube. He most definitely NOT lip syncing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • def. lip syncing

  • voice of a god :)

  • Looks like he's lip-syncing.

  • @Zimlot

    Your eyes are wierd. just saying.

    but hes not.

    

  • @Zimlot

    you are used to seeing singers that cant project and cant sing clearly..he most def is not

  • @Zimlot obviously not

  • Born in England lived in Dagenham Essex

  • esta é uma das melhores musicas de todos os tempos

  • 26 people are gonna sit in silence.

    26 people are gonna live in fear.

  • Hay everyone check out MIKE VEE ,at an amazing ten years younger then John Farnham, These guys have to have to be twins! they even look similar, And sound identical, Maybe they could do a show where they would swap shifts half way through,

  • i like the improvising he does at 4:33

    He has a much better perfomance at soundrelief with coldplay

  • There will never be another like John Farnham!

  • This song was sung in the 1980's but i love this verson more. :D

  • A performance for the ages

  • This makes me proud to be an Australian!

  • Thanks Hotrod :D

  • This song is the shit my friend

  • Ahhhhh.... sorry, just had an Eargasm... carry on... :)

  • Thumbs up for the dancing piper on the far left :)

  • 3:23 one of the most epic live moments ever!

  • He was also the lead singer of The Little River Band after Glenn Shorrock left. One great song he did with them was "We Two." It is on Youtube as well.

  • this is just so epic!!

  • 4:23 tre cool?!!!!

  • I love the scene in Hot Rod when this is playing in the background

  • To all the "Free People of Libya" !! This track's for you !!

  • 4:43 : That man can sing so incredibly high!!

  • it gets so epic at 3:23 !

  • oh man this is so good! i miss the glory days of music!

  • This reminds me of hot rod

  • how the hell is there 25 dislikes for this???

  • @villeo2003 25 dislikes who have no idea what musical talent sounds like - forget em mate... they obivously have no idea what singing is about.

  • Epic moment when the extra bagpipers came out :D

  • @Callsy92 hehe, you can see the one to the right in stamping he's feet :)

  • For all you aussies out there, there are very few songs that can be called our other 'national anthem'. cold chisel's 'kae san', acdc's 'its a long way to the top..'. but i struggle to think of another song that has this much power and national love as this. there isnt a bar in the country that doesnt start singing thier lungs out when this comes on...JF im proud to say ur australian. YOU are the voice!

  • chicks rocking out is just the sexiest shit ever,they can be standing up or sitting down or whatever,i dont know why but its awsome

  • 12th time watchin it today... I m speachless.

  • I was there that night. what a voice! Proud to be an Australian.

  • It sounded to me that the bagpipers were playing the wrong song.

    Sounded like they were playing the first half of the pipe-solo to AC/DC's "It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll" LOL

  • @FireTiger941 Hahaha! It is too!!!

  • they were at the start. thats the whole point champ!

  • @2.48 what a superb guitar solo, who´s the guitarist?

  • wow his voice hasnt faded a bit. excellent.

  • No mom, I can´t go away from the computer. I fell in love with this song!

  • Mona the pipers!!

  • awesome when the bagpipes begin to sound!!!

  • ESTO SI ES MÚSICA....!!!!

  • ESTO SI ES MÚSICA....!!!!

  • what an amazing voice

  • please tell me how to play that with the guitar :(

  • This music played in a show "Estonia looks for a superstar" while all the 8 finalists who lost the battle came on the stage with some other people from the earlier times.

  • is it just me? .. he's pitching sharp throughout the whole song

  • those pipes.....as we call in Argentina...."piel de gallina" ("chicken skin") if you get my idea...

    One of the best songs of all time

  • John was made for this song what an iconic song and performer

  • Please, come together Patagonia sin Represas, we need you

  • powerful lyrics

  • WE ARE NOT GOING TO SIT IN SILENCE, WE ARE NOT GOING TO LIVE IN FEAR!!!

  • SING IT!

  • I see a like and a dont like button...where's the This Is Fu%#ing Great button?

  • 25 people are DEAF  :(

  • I love the part of AC/DC's it's a long way to the top :D

  • If he has ANOTHER comeback tour...I'm going!

  • Now do Thunder In Your Heart!

  • Amazing enough there are even people dislike this... God!!! i supposed their souls must be dead...

  • 25 people aren't the voice at all. GO FARNSEY

  • I reckon there'd more Aussies that would know every word to this song than there would that would know the whole Australian National Anthem.

  • @83avenge: I thought this was the National Anthem :-)

  • Coming from Canada, this song is not really known, and that is a crying shame...I only heard it for the first time on the Alan Parsons live album, sung by Chris Thompson (lots on youtube, search alan parsons you're the voice)....what a beautiful song.

  • @WaxLonghorn Im a Canadian as well but i do remember hearing this back in the 80's and recall it being a huge hit but i forgot all about it until I rented the movie Hot Rod. Not the best movie but it had a great sound track.

  • Goosebumps every time man!

  • This song has given me chills every time I listen, since around 1987 when I first heard it. This should be the world's anthem in these troubled times. Thank you John.

  • @edwardc519 I agree, with the times we are living in, we need more songs like this to inspire people to speak up, we do have a voice, and the time is running out to use our voice to make the necessary changes in this, the only home we have!!! SO SPEAK UP!!!

  • Satan va pengar han får, det syns på honom

  • @KingLubos Han har ju jättemycket pengar

  • wonderfull performance and very great song

  • Best ARIAS performance ever!

  • this song is soo fucking good

  • This was FAB! Love John - thanks for posting! 

  • He is and will always be the best Australian performer.

  • Possibly the BEST ever Aria Awards Performance.

  • i luv him!!hez gr8888888

  • Hi to all the John Farnham fans who loved seeing Marc Collis in Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide supporting John on tour, you may like to grab Marc's album Louder On The Inside at any JB HiFi store for just $18.99 NOW.

  • I'm 20, and I just heard this song on the radio this morning.. It's probably the sickest song I've ever heard.. Lady gaga is a looser compared to this! This really made my day! SICK SICK SIIICK song!

  • EPIC

  • this is just beautiful, its kisses for your ears

  • makes me long for my matric year of 1987! you're the voice, try and understand! to all moms, dads and teachers! listen to what the youth have to say! i am now 41, and i am still singing this song! melenie from south africa!!!!!!!

  • Every single person in that room had the best night of their lives

  • only 1 man can get more then one generation singing like this...

  • Love his voice!

  • rape is amazing mr farnham.

  • I almost feel sorry for Farnham.. He wrote so many songs, but all people wants to hear is this song. Think about it.. touring, having written songs, and knowng that people don't give much for these songs but only You're the voice

  • @Paganbeliever But you could also think of it this way - It is a song that will be remembered for years and years to come. It is a timeless classic and he should be so proud of that.

  • @kkly27 Yup. It will be a timeless classic, it will be a song that will stick around atleast for another 2 or 3 decades, hopefully even longer then that.. You are correct in saying that few others do manage this

  • @Paganbeliever your wrong this is his most popular but people love hearing his others

  • GREAT VIDEO! What a timeless, cool song!

  • John is pure quality!

  • He's put a but of timber on over the years but he's still got a fantastic set of pipes.

  • The man is a legend in every way! I'm living in the UK this Australia Day and have never missed home more than i do right now after watching this. John Farnham you have brought this 23yr old Aussie girl too tears with your talent.

  • @Elliemarie99 Aww bless you and your wonderful heart... I'm 23 :), In the UK, and it just so happens that I'm watching this John Farnham video 4 days after you watched it. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's good to know I'm not the only 23 year old in the UK listening to John Farnham at the moment. :)

  • The man is a legend in every way! I'm living in the UK this Australia Day and have never missed home more than i do right now after watching this. John Farnham you have brought this 23yr old Aussie girl too tears with your talent.

  • What a great live perfomance.

  • Классная песня!

  • The word in the bottom right corner says it all..

  • ρίξε κόκκινο στη νύχτα ! :)

  • @narkisos2222 ρίξε λάδι στη φωτιά! :)

  • extraordinary ! it's just the most beatiful song ever !

  • whata sick cunt woop woop

  • Brett Garsed on lead guitar (not PRS player look the other)

  • Best Song ever!!!

  • Was lucky enough to be there that night at the Arias... Everyone was up off their seats cheering - it was just awesome!

  • I just can not stop singing the song

  • michael jordan,muhammad ali,wayne gretzky JOHN FARNHAM enough said

  • @theLOLOMGFTW totally! 

  • He's the voice!! Wow!! Amazing....& his voice is still great since this song first came out. I never heard it before the movie "Hot Rod" & I just love it!!! Love the pipers too! How much longer can we all look at each other down the barrel of a gun? I hope not much longer.

  • He know how to put on a great show. i was at the "Last Time" gig in Melbourne, and trust me, it was unbelieveable on what type of show he puts on

  • love it

  • The voice has just entered the building!!

  • This brings back memories. We sang this at school for UN Day. :p @vhmrais Blind Guardian FTW. \m/

  • I knew this song by Blind Guardian. What a song!

  • Good music never gets old.

  • This really gives me the shivers. So great

  • Pure spectacle! Exactly what this biz is all about!

  • Merlin ;-)

  • @veganroxs yes! haha <3

  • @TheLOLOMGFTW Oh good, I'm glad someone gets it! : )

  • @veganroxs oh colin and bradley are so cool :P <3

  • John, Is the Voice !!!

  • yeah, as an aussie, one of my favourites :-)

  • Amazing voice and song!!!!

  • brilliant song by an awesome man. first heard this in the '80's when 1st released and never forgot it. thankyou x

  • true Pro and i saw him live last year and he is still like he was 20 years ago

  • what a pretty girl at 2:09

  • Al principio cuando arranca decis "uh no, la concha de la lora es unplugged!" pero despues cuando el tema va pasando te VUELA LA PELUKA!

  • awesome playing by Brett Garsed and the guy playing the PRS.

  • Probably the greatest ARIA performance that has ever been.

    This guy is a legend and the song is one of the greats in the world.

  • Awesome voice, even at that age.

  • Its fantastic it's old but gold. I'm just fifteen and since i heard it in the radio today i love it !!

    Nice to see that some old songs are awesome in the "future" too.

    Sorry about my bad english I'm from Germany :)

    MfG

  • WOW. XD

    & 20 plus people have NO VOICE.

  • awesome!

  • Great version of a great song, thank you all involved!

  • Great song, gotta love it... Nice vocals too. Plus the bagpipes kick ass.

  • love this version, love that he catches the mike stand, love the extra vocal gymnastics near the end ... just love him to bits

  • Great stuff, Love the scottish bag pipes as always... true class

  • Somewhat ironic that you overly patriotic jokers are arguing over where he's from when he's singing about everyone being part of the same whole and getting along together! I'm sure he'd be real proud of his Aussie/British roots...

    If you're packing so much aggression and insecurity, why don't you go down the gym or go for a run and vent it that way, rather than abusing strangers you don't know and will never meet from the safety of your own bedroom?

    Just a thought.

  • im 14. student. male and watta song.

  • Fairdinkum!

  • 3:21 AMAZING
