In this clip from Classic Jack Live, which first aired on the Seven Network in 1989, John Farnham performs his new hit 'Age of Reason'. Backed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, he is singing to a packed house at the National Tennis Centre in Melbourne.

Before a huge audience and backed by a full orchestra this clip perfectly illustrates how supremely at ease John is in concert. Even when an audience member hands him a bouquet of flowers he never misses a beat.
