FULL HOUSE is a collection of Farnham's live performances at three different venues in the late eighties. Most of the Aussie superstar's signature songs are included and as expected his voice is in fine form. Like a fellow reviewer, I too would have preferred more audience reaction but it doesn't detract from the album's impact.My faves on this disc:WHEN THE WAR IS OVER - first recorded with the LRB on the "No Reins" album, this is a beautiful song enriched by Farnham's passionate vocal.AGE OF REASON - truly euphoric with one great hook --- "what about the world around us"...one of Johnny's best.YOU'RE THE VOICE - this anthemic song was an international smash with a singalong-ready chorus. And that great bagpipe solo!BURN FOR YOU - John's voice is superb on this gorgeous song. Stunning.HELP - a risky tempo change works for Farnham and the audience eats it up.PRESSURE DOWN - bouncy and joyful - it's a fun song.PLEASE DON'T ASK ME - often critically reviled as maudlin, I say Pshaw! It's a great love song and became synonymous for Farnham's concerts. John always does it beautifully!Although Farnham has sadly retired, he is a legendary universal superstar, and every song on this album shows us why.
