RIP Judith. The Carnival is Over. I’m so upset. Met you at the park near us with Bruce Woodley(a friend of ours) whiles Bruce’s and our dogs played. Lovely lady and a voice that never changed.

[@johnlamberts9681]

It’s truly a pleasure to rediscover the music of the Seekers. 50 years later!

[@robertalleman4757]

Judith, what beautiful woman with a beautiful voice.

[@wendyshaddick4367]

Had the ABSOLUTE PRIVILEGE of seeing these four amazing people and lost my voice for a week after singing along with them all night! What a memorable evening I have in my heart and mind.. It will never fade!

[@Smasheditin66]

Simply sublime. I was born in 1966 but some of my earliest memories were listening to The Seekers.

[@davesresorts]

Judith is a great singer but the combination of these guys and Judith created a unique wonderful sound

[@joycehastings7344]

I will never forget the old seeker's one of the best group's I've ever seen and heard x

[@suzannelawson9215]

This is the first time hearing the song "The Olive Tree." Incrediblely beautiful vocals by Judith. The purest crystal clear voice!!

[@osvaldoschilling9129]

I agree . The Olive Tree as sung in this concert displayed the incredible power and quality of Judith's voice and interpretation ability.

[@colinpaulspears8566]

so many great and inspiring loving and wonderful songs with Judith Durham's angelic, heraldic voice, from an era a half century ago but The Seekers music is as beautiful and loving today as yesterday...

[@gregfern5891]

Pure magic, don't you think during these lockdown times. My love goes out to all of you

[@carolecarr5210]

Appearance, music choices, fantastic musicians with the greatest lead singer ever = best group for pure joy, great feelings. Judith was so super priceless!!

[@kerrinorourke5914]

So true. RIP Judith, but, as Athol said on her passing, "Judith hasn't gone. She is still here..."

[@potdog1000]

as a teenager i wasnt that keen on them but i saw their farewell concert & loved them

[@robertwaid3579]

I always loved, their sound when I was 8 thru my mid twenties. Now that I'm in my early sixties I still get chill's when I hear them. Thank you so much.

Never tire of the beautiful voice of Judith Durham

[@davebinnie4257]

I remember them from the 60’s as my mother liked the “Georgy girl” hit and played it often. I went on to love jazz and hard rock. Lately I find myself appreciating great music like this! What amazing performers! This music is sooooo sweet. Judiths voice is riveting with the boys backing her up. Thanks so much for posting this along with all the others you have rescued! Absolutely great!

[@kerrinorourke5914]

If you love jazz and blues, look for Judith singing jazz with The Hottest Band in Town. On KZbin as well. IT'S A TREAT!

[@retrobilly1986]

No lip syncing here. Real talent.

[@valentinomacanes9138]

Agreed. Never tired of The Seekers since my childhood in the 1960's. I am now 60 and thanks to KZbin, I will and continue listening to their music.

[@ronaldbaker4275]

Beautiful voice Judith! Seekers are a wonderful singing group.

[@MistressValkress]

My earliest memory of Music, is this track sung by the Seekers... Music has to be something that becomes that Great! A Child remembers a song 40 years later I miss music like this!

[@lr4428]

Just brilliant In every sense

[@johnking6550]

Of course Judith can make our hearts soar or melt with just about every note she sings but the boys clearly demonstrate that they're quite capable of creating some astonishing magic of their own. jtk🍁

The seekers represent all that is good in life. Conservative dress style. Nothing flashy. Soft lilting music. Great lyrics. Those years are gone by. But the music lives on

[@brucelevine6517]

so the song the olive tree is probably not understood by most people .But I'm sitting here in that land and every thing about that song is so true .it's like how did she know ? how did she sing a song about my life ? 🇮🇱

[@Framusic]

11:30 when Judith sings this, she doesn't only make me think of olive trees in Greece, but her voice also reminds me of Greeces most famous and respected female singer Maria Farantouri, who sang the Anthem of the Ballad of Mauthausen.

[@JetLag797]

Much appreciated rich 963. I've seen excerpts of this performance but not a continuous recording. The video recording is quite rare to purchase and it was recorded in European TV standards which are not playable on USA video recorder, so I really appreciate your posting. Are ther going to be a part 3 and part 4 to complete the show?

[@johntukey857]

Timeless gift

[@rich963]

@grimTales1 It was released on VHS around 11 years ago, but only in PAL format. There are small differences to the Talk of the Town concert, but it was basically the same songs and banter. They were recorded a week apart and one obvious difference is that they don't sing 'Happy Birthday' to Judith in the video, as they do on the TOTT CD!

[@jeffschroeder357]

A couple songs on TOTT are a little more rock and roll: Love is KInd and Georgy Girl.

[@franciscoserafim7457]

[@johnmcdonald5141]

i always wonder did they mean mornington when they recorded the song as they were from melbourne just a thought

[@Elizabeth-ci9ty]

I think a few people think that. I don’t believe that it is because of Mornington near Melbourne because it was written by Malvina Reynolds, who was from America. I think it’s just about waking up in the morning.

[@ziggystardust52]

I originally thought that, but realised it was Morningtown, as in where you end up in the morning after sleeping, which, when you listen to the lyrics, makes sense. When I saw it was written by Malvina Reynolds, who’d probably never heard of Mornington, it was clear it wasn’t about a mythical train to that seaside town.
