[boogiefever1985]

@MrNodrog44 Ok, so it's actually outside?

[fordroad]

@boogiefever1985 It is festival hall it was one of JOK's return /comeback tours. A great singer there will be only one JOK often imitated never duplicated. 5/5

australias KING OF POP.

[caiteile]

Ahhhhhhhh.... memories :-) In my teens (early 1960's) managed to get see JOK (The Wild One) performing in Centennial Hall, Adelaide, South Australia. Will always remember him taking off his black suit coat (which was lined with red) before singing "Shout". The audience went wild! :-)))

[jonnijames]

hahaha love his bung eyes, so so obvious , RIP Johnny, you were as good as elvis and better with your christian stuff!

[googie65]

He is a legend, The best that existed and was the starting point for many Australian singers to get their start in the music industry. Long live the King of Australian Rock and Roll. Legend forever.. Love you JOK...

[jonty811]

JOK's intro into this song gives me goosebumps.

[A24catalina]

I first heard him live while staying in the Tellabuduggerim? QlD? caravan park as a little tacker - he was at a venue avbout a mile away and pumping it LOUD!!!.The next and best time was at Sunbury in 1972?. I was on the hill and was the only one I think in the whole place cheering when he came on - everyone was cheering part way into his set - a real showman who could pull and audience Godd Rock and Roll is GOOD rock and roll

[crowdedenz87]

Where this performance took place is now an apartment block, that's greedy developers for you.

[samcashmooney]

I saw JOK live on two occasions living in rural West Australia - he was as good as we saw him on TV; and that was fantastic. He pioneered the way for many Aussie artists who followed him.

[bluerok1]

what a classic, the best JOK, was a pioneer and I am sure Iggy Pop only excisted because of JOK!

[phil123711]

Be was great and we were lucky to have him. RIP JOK

Once you get kicked in the dirt and trodden on a few times ,

Get up and fight back , cause you'll never fall as hard again J.O.K.

[kaulentia]

I remember we classed him the Elvis of Australia and when he performed on the same night with Bill Haley he was angry as everyone wanted Johnny to sing

[Luzielou]

Luv this!

[MegaGravyboy]

I was at this concert at Festival Hall - an all-Australian artists affair to raise money for the Cancer Council. O'Keefe performed a dynamic set and tore the place apart. Del Juliana was on the same bill. O'Keefe always gave 110 percent every time he went on stage whether it was performing for a huge auditorium or a tent show - and he did the lot. He was a truly visceral performer and audiences could always sense how genuine and committed he was to rock'n'roll, and responded accordingly.

[32bNatalie]

Thgis is great

[32bNatalie]

This is great!

[samcashmooney]

I gas the pleasure of seeing JOK twice in West Australia when I was a young bloke - he was absolutely dynamite on stage. His support of upcoming Australian artists made many careers.

[shaunius123]

i am so ecstatic to be portraying him when im only 17, is gonna be an extreme challenge, but will be lots and lots of fun

[colindominy]

JOK - the original Aussie Rock N Roll pioneer, & the Best Of All. In his little finger - He had more genuine talent as an entertainer than his current-day nephew, that Channel 7 110% 'up-himself' dick-head, Andrew O'Keefe has or will ever have. AOK is little more than a pathetic, hopeless, public drunk - with major personailty problems & dysfunctional defects.

[peterm3964]

@colindominy I dont ever reply to you tube comments , so you wont get a response You are way off course with that comment about AOK . it is you who is a fool sir . Dont believe everything you read in the gutter press AOK i alllll riiiigghhtt .

[colindominy]

@peterm3964 : No .. I'm not off course, & not a fool, friend. AOK is a prize jerk. The 'gutter press' as you call it has absoIutely nothing to do with my viewpoint about the buffoon. I observe him in acton .. I hear him .. I can make analyses & conclusions based on the evidence before me. My analytical capacities are sound & intact. That's good enough for me. Maybe you're a relative of AOK ...

[tonyiommirox]

i love the little.. well i don't really know what to call it but the voice intro at the start :)

[cci110]

I feel sad about JO'K, I seen chubby ckecker at the tin shed in sydney all those years ago.

I am proud of the music he did

[patrolowner]

You all know he is Andrew O'Keefe's uncle?

[gen456789]

really need at soundrack song of this clean and hear it well

[harveyisharvey]

The funniest part was when he did a shit in the queens mouth

[Gocethebee]

Come on Johnny SHOUT lol. What a great song.

[coralarch]

Indeed, yes. He gave a lot, not only in his songs, but also in his kindness towards younger artistes.

[coralarch]

Hi flybreath- yes, an amazing bloke and tragic that he suffered bipolar disorder. It gave him boundless energy, but also screwed up a lot of things for him. He used to sing at our local pub and everyone loved him, not just as a singer, but as a person, too.

[coralarch]

Hi flybreath- the poor bloke may have been having a depressive episode.

[coralarch]

His version of "Shout" makes all others look totally flaccid.

[moviedude120796]

i know where you live Sebastian!

[kangadillo]

Man, he was terrific! Very animated and connected to the audience!

[01baia]

Always loved JOK! Remember hearing him playing in Clubs in the mid 70s not long before he died - could still ROCK the audience even then!!!

[gen456789]

[jemb2000]

How did your friend's mate prove you wrong? By telling you (wrongly) that Johnny O'Keefe released the original version?

Google is your friend. Get in touch.

[middayson]

Without JOK there would be no Easybeats,no Thorpie,no Cold Chisel,no Powderfinger etc.

Hope you're happy up there Wild One.

[CadillacL]

He is rockin that audience. Looks like he's in his own world.

[gen456789]

[irynski]

Okay, so the Isley Brothers were slick... but JOK was raw, wild energy!!!! He's still Australia's Wild One!

[moreliacore]

This song was very popular in Mexico,back then

muy chingona la rolita.

[reece5190]

[MaddiePerth]

I grew up listerning to this man on my record player - always up LOUD!!

[serpico56]

The Yanks over here missed out on this one. JOK shows the yanks how to do it.

[Carameldevine]
