Coldplay and John Farnham Live on stage @ Sound Relief Sydney 14/03/09

[Christizm]

Can I use the word Legend or Rock God here or is that over the top well screw it thats how I feel Go Johnny Go your a legend in my books Mate

[ColdplayBox]

4:02

Chris is one of my favourite singers, but his voice sounds beside John like a child voice... :)

[uoyebutbackwords]

Johnny can sing his but off. I'm confussed . he's too good for me. This stupid ass can out sing most singers in the world. He's not a stupid ass. Just said that as He is the pro.,

[chopitupmate]

Amazing modesty playing back up for Johnny who!

A career pinnacle for him and a true show of character by all the coldplay members.

[ClaptonBoy99]

tis concert was amazing! SCG and MCG raised over 8 MILLION dollars for the bushfires

[45molkstreet]

that was off the hook. one of the best performances in australian history. the greatest band in the world with an australian legended. nicely done. you could watch this for ages. great performance :)

[Mob01971]

Absolutely fantastic and good on Coldplay for getting involved, real legends.

[ozphil]

Damn,I am instantly homesick. John is still a GREAT singer. Onya John, good one Mate

[johnwally]

I know what ya mean mate ,me too long in Japan but I am getting to go home for 3 months soon ,Yee effin haaaa

[ozphil]

Can you plz do me a huge favour when you get home ..... you know that first cold real beer you have, well the next one you have thats mine and you must savour each drop Mate!!! Damn I'm homesick again seeing this. All the best Mate

[singingcassie]

this is why i am so proud to be australian.

tears of joy right now :)))

[missawesomeswan78]

I got goosebumps just listening to it. an amazing performance.

[player01able]

he is fantastic...i love him...got front row VIP tickets to his brisbane concert...cant wait! GO JOHNNY

[blake20193]

i was in the crowd somewhere near the front, he still has it, and it ended up raining at night when presets were on but i didnt give a shit because it was for a good cause,

ima go see him when he has a concert because he is one of the best singers of all time without a dout

[slippermen07]

Da kommt John Farnham daher und legt mit Coldplay einen derart Wahnsinnsaufritt hin. Wow.

Ein Song für Generationen.

[stephanieee93]

i was there, and re-watching it is nothing compared to the atmosphere of the entire day and night.

still gives me chills though.

[brandonbarrybeard]

John Farnham has clearly still got it, he is the best singer ever, john farnham's voice cannot be matched by anyone. Brandon Beard PERTH WA

[davidpresta]

geeze doesn't chris martin's voice sound anaemic and weak compared to john farnham's. wow...a vivid comparison. john is world-class much as i hate to admit it hehe

[onegodoneloveoneway]

...and this isn't even John's best belting out. He's belted his voice way better in other versions, but this is still pretty awesome.

[Astrochuppa]

Damn he`s still a f*cking GREAT singer, even though he`s getting on.. still amazingly powerful voice. The energy is still there...

[KR1PT0NITE]

This was awsome. Good to see John having so much fun up there as well. Great aussie singer.

[Wraithriel]

I fucking despise Coldplay but I'll be damned if this isn't the best thing ever.

[Jdwaldy]

Coldplay is the best, but John Farnham is amazing and I love how coldplay can play like any song in the world

[brandonbarrybeard]

Well, well, well John farnham woke up the crowd thats for sure. Farnham is the best and always will be, he so can't be beaten. Brandon BEARD PERTH WA

[sunshinebutter]

ahh I was a volunteer behind the stage and missed it. I was right there! ahh

[katielon1]

i was there and this was the fkn highlight of my night honestly best night of my life

[brandonbarrybeard]

No one beats farnham he will rock till the day he dies, the best singer ever, hey notice how he woke the crowd up lol... Brandon Beard PERTH WA

[ibelenz]

coldplay might be the worlds best band but john farhnam is the greatest of them all.

[JesusSaysRELAX]

bahahahaah the cut to melbourne...ahahaha they looked like they were having HEAPS of fun xD

tho to back them up they did get kings of leon

[JesusSaysRELAX]

much much better live...

[brandonbarrybeard]

Only one thing needs to be said, john your the best singer in the world and keep it up... You totally rock and you always wills ur the best... Brandon Beard PERTH WA

[skeleman]

Great Song!!! His voice sounds like it did when the song first came out..top notch!!!

[1AGirlNamedGoo]

this is inspiring if nothing else.

no matter what u think of farnsy or **bloody** coldplay, this is legendary. i like the part where chris martin didnt sing!!! lol, sorry coldplay people, but do u notice how much the energy lowered when he sang - this is farnsys song, and a stadium in australias song, no one else can and should try to sing this

[yatching24]

Great song!! Lets hear more from Andy Qunta

[Ethony]

I think the crowd sings more of this song than John does! Gotta love this Aussie classic

[nikovich]

Beautiful voice he has !

[wha65]

Great song, great singer, great band.

It's interesting to note that proud aussies John Farnham, Barry Gibb and Olivia Newton John, were all born in England. They all performed at Sound Relief and Farnham sung with Coldplay who are english. However, i won't hold my breath waiting for Coldplay to change allegiance!!! LOL

[redandwhitegang]

Thats right bud, they all saw the light and headed Down Under. Smartest thing they ever did. By the way, they all call themselves Aussies.

[thediamonddoggie]

Let's hear it for the cat who wrote this number - Andy Qunta!!! YYYEEEEAH!

(John and the band's ok too. )

[possumsnest]

I agree with that - Andy's written a timeless classic. Wasnt he in Icehouse in the 80's??

Love it that Chris Martin has made our Johnny cool again!

[koalagal77]

Farnham is the best @ singing that song by far... after soo msny yr's he can still sing, he can sing any song from any style @ all, he's the ultmite ROCK Ledge by far...

Farnham Rocks!! ;)

from Sadie, to Ranidrop's, to mr whippy...lol right through to Your The Voice!! I truly hope there will be a dvd out fairly soon..

for botjh concerts.. :) ROCK ON FARNHAM!! :) :) :) :)

Farnham is the ultimite ONE VOICE BY Far....!!!! he's truly our Aussie of the Yr!! :):)

Rock On All.. ;)

[bbat86]

wow Farnham can still pump out that song !!!

[candocando]

it was an awesome feeling to watch that at sound relief!!

[nicolecoot]

How you calling Coldplay lame? You obviously don't have any real musical appreciation...

[bainesca]

I love this song, as well as many other Johnny Farnham songs; I like Johnny Farnham because he stuck by Glen and ever since Hey Hey finished Ive missed seeing them... Common Channel 9 Bring back Hey Hey and get more of Lavinia Nixons tits on tv.

[sm0ked1]

Does John Farnham actually have any other songs?

[HenryFAC3]

pretty sure he does, but who cares this one owns :D

[leighman25]

yes mate he does obviously seeing that he is one of australias most famous singers and held the record for most albums sold in a week. ever get the opputrunity go to one of his concerts, its fuckin amazing and he is a funny as guy

[josbowie]

no i dont think he does

[Noiseworker]

Of course he does - this one is an Australian favourite!

[soulthief1977]

He has released plenty of albums and has had a whole stack of hits, mostly in Australia.

[brandonbarrybeard]

OMG does john farnham have to show up everyone band or singer he sings with ??? Are you can't help being the best can ya john, thanks for keep on going don't ever stop john your the best mate, best singer ever i love ya. Brandon Beard PERTH WA

[allinjim123]

It's not his fault lame bands like coldplay can't get the audience involved.

[NickoliasCaville]

watch?v=aXXcyYcreJg&fmt=18

I think you should take back what you just said.

[alexmartin51]

dude, i had friends who were front rowfor coldplay, they said it was nuts

[shuffle01]

maybe you should go watch Chris martins crowd run and tell me that the audience wasn't involved.

[raff23]

could you possibly find a more euphoric inspirational song then this ever????

[jedixo]

yea lets here the australian national anthem again lol i just realised what chris martin said at the start lol

[iceking27]

OMFG

I cannot believe I didn't go

It is unbelievable just how cut and hurt I feel rite now ...

I need a hug

[fairs]

They played this clip at the Melbourne concert - the crowd went bonkers - the singing was so so loud!

[thewilso]

Farnzy's still got it!

Now im just waiting for his 15th comeback tour to be announced :)

[brandonbarrybeard]

Fuck yeah a come tour from farnham would be great thewilso, and the funny thing is even know his 60 he will still pull a crowd as big as this coldplay concert... Brandon Beard PERTH WA

[GreeboScarr]

I thought we were up to 17 already ;)

[Marcsuddo14]

wish i was there in melb

[matthewgarr]

it was fantastic,

but this was in Sydney

[jhtcn]

Fuck this song was soooooo good it got every one going crazy and everyone also knows the lyrics! Yew johnny and Chris Martin!!! awesome.

[pumanie]

tingles up my back

[rednut2000]

The atmosphere was amazing when they played this, it was sooooo awesome :D

[muskety]

they should make this song the australian national anthem

[josbowie]

a bunch of dicks

[matthewgarr]

wtf?

[watevaman3000]

hahahahahhaaha

[PickfordsParty]

the dumb coldplay guy called this the australian anthem. gtfo

[iennaeej]

It was a joke. Because many consider the song to be our "unofficial anthem".

[InferiorPotassium93]

your so fucking gay chris martin isnt dumb it was a joke

[Noiseworker]

The word 'gay' should NEVER be used as a synonym for 'stupid'. Kids these days need to be smacked for that.

[Noiseworker]

Bitch slap in 3...2...1...

[InferiorPotassium93]

hahah nice one kids need! to be smacked sounds like you enjoy smacking kids now who sounds 'stupid' by the way gay does not mean homosexual its actually a synonym for happy its people like you who think everything is offensive that ruin the world its people like you who change the name of fairy penguins to little penguins incase it offended homosexuals or baba rainbow sheep because the word black is offensive to coloured people there is a serious problem with too politically correct

[Noiseworker]

I just know first-hand what gay people have gone through to assert their rights to their lifestyle. To associate being "gay" with being "stupid" is completely juvenile and immature. We should know better than to put down people who simply love as we love.

I have no problem with being "politically correct" - so long as it has no problem with being a juvenile dumb-ass who will put down anyone for the sake of it. Gen Y needs to grow the fuck up.

[watevaman3000]

yeah well KOL shit all over noiseworks.

nah im kidding i hate them both.

but i do respect noiseworks much more for not being being a derivitive shit band

[jonassweetheart]

this makes me pround to be Australian! i watched this on TV, what an amazing performence

[mIckcreek]

im proud 2 be an aussie after the way the we hav all united 2 help out with the bushfires

[brandonbarrybeard]

LOL does john farnham always have to steel the show, what a true king of music. John farnham is totally the best. Brandon Beard PERTH WA

[jedixo]

i love australia

[PickfordsParty]

why does john farnham associate with such a shit band like coldplay?

[TrEnNa69]

for charity u dickhead

[joetomholt80]

Makes me proud to be an aussie!!!!

Very Memorable!!

[stocktonje]

and thats how its done

[CourtNUTTY]

this made me cry..lol not because its bad or anything, to see so many big names unite to help these people is incredible =)

[gillyb9]

haha 3:26... wtf.

[infamousmd]

i was at the 'g the whole 80000 at MCG were all at once singing this .....memorable

[gillyb9]

lolz it was better live at the scg when i was there

[stipV]

[nirvanatin]

i was there yea

[bedahammernotthenail]

epic

[sixtyninerbros]

loved this! was so good!

[toonozandy]

This is the GREATEST-EVER version Farnham has sung of this awesome song. The combination of COLDPLAY and the massive crowd singing along with Franham sends tingles down your body! I hope this makes it onto dvd.

[ScissorFilm]

sure is, they're gonna release one soon

and ur right, it was bloody awsome

[breeza44]

OMG SAMEEE

SO BUYING IT

[KraMdot]

damn that guy can sing.

[remilol]

What is most interesting about this is that a an entirely different generation of people know the lyrics and tune of this song.

Speaks volumes about just how good Farnham is.

[lachlan748]

Absolutely.. it's great to see the youngens singing along with Johnny :)

[kanyewestlova]

Thats how the aussies role.

[otterhead10]

[jolls72]

The hairs just stood up on the back of my back!! Very cool!

[morphix007]

[TheTruth5555]

saw this never thought it would work so well on paper but was amazing the way the crowd got involved.

but quite funny this is one of the all time best sing alongs ive ever seen shits on livin on a prayer at live earth. but after this i switch to v and gabriella chilmi was playing trying to get them to sing along quite funny the comparison

[mike123987]

Did we change the National Anthem to You're The Voice and not tell anyone.

Great performance none the less

[djjonesy123]

Coldplay and John Farnham! Wow! Not exactly a combination you see every day, but a mighty fine alignment they created! They should bring out a DVD of these performances! This is history baby! and a contribution to a hugely important cause

[hclouston]

Wow thanks for putting this up there!

I really like coldplay but I have to say the part of the song that chris martin sings really does't compare to farnham!

[Bundynelle]
