This man is a Legend

[Gav1959]

I remember being at this Grand Final & remember this performance. An amazing amount of emotion poured into this song. Even the drunks in Bay13 gave him a rousing ovation!

[jip060602]

I know Noel which clay/tone personally, he live together with my cousin. Attempts whenever as possible to Australia to be come, the vacation with the two is simply fantastic. I dear Noel… and its music.!!!!

[pauleespitfir]

i was lucky enough to get in contact with him and went down to his home town and meet with him, had a cuppa and was a great day.

[SOMERSET92]

What a great RENDITION of our National song ..

Love it !!

This man is a legend, i saw a clip on tv years ago of him singing 'Blue Gum Christmas tree', absolutely loved it. never heard it again. Australian radio should be encouraged to play his music.

[1939PlymouthRatRod]

The best version of this song ever, it has real feelings.

[DAVIDFRANKSTON]

So did a lot of other people does that make him a hick. ??

He is a highly decorated returned Service Man but the big distinction between him & you is he is not full of shit .

[MorganDaniel1]

@LeonPeterson, Noel Watson's my mate, and I take offense at your comments.

[tuffdodgepickup]

Noel is my cousin sucks that he cant play the guitar these days such a top country singer

[clablache]

@tuffdodgepickup HEY what has happened to Noel??? one of the most AWESOME entertainers I have ever seen and heard... have not been "up country" to where I used to see & hear him, have always hoped to catch up with him again... is he still able to perform at all?? will be there in a heartbeat if I ever get the chance again

[LeonPeterson]

Noel Watson is a stupid Labor supporting hick.

[admanhawks]

@LeonPeterson hehe......Well he sings this pretty well for a tree hugger then. Beats signing Kumbaya my Lord around a camp fire. :-)

[LeonPeterson]

@admanhawks

He probably does that too, since he voted for Gillard.

[clablache]

@LeonPeterson who cares about the guy's politics????? I am not a Labor supporter either, but can't ignore this man's talent... AND HAVE SEEN/HEARD HIM LIVE ----- have you???

[Leowen2]

@LeonPeterson , so what, I love this guys singing and way of life.

[Giggler99]

we need Waltzing Matilda back at the AFL Grand Final ASAP!!!!!! why did they get rid of it anyway?

[sliat1981]

its not an AFL grand final. its a VFL grand final

[MightyRoys]

I was one of the choir in the yellow and green robes behind him. It was an awesome experience. But we didn't even get tickets to watch the game! We had to watch on a big screen at Punt Road oval.

[DAVIDFRANKSTON]

After the heart and soul put into this tune by this man this should be the OFFICIAL VERSION and stuff the lefties and the shardie drinkers and wankers.

[hblewitt]

I saw this in 1988 when he performed it on grand final day. I have forgotten that performance and it was just fantastic to rediscover again. Thanks for the performance. As an aussie living in the USA this gives me chill and quite frankly make me want to cry cos I just miss the best damn county in the world so much

[creme1952]

...Shivers up my spine!!! Bloody bewdy, mate

[scuff946]

The Best RENDITION ever

[SapperK9]

ex Major Noel Watson, Royal Australian Signals Corps, Vietnam Veteran, a mate, and the only person who can make our national song a battle hymn..

Onya cob...
