The Seekers Farewell Concert, July 1968 (Part 4, Finale)

[@janinesenatore3870]

I am crying listening to this beautiful, beautiful music and her utterly angelic, yet powerhouse voice. Such a better time then. Hope we can find our way back to civility. Blessings to all, as we plod our way through covid and the devisions in our country.

[@davebinnie4257]

Sadly, I don’t think mankind now possesses the knowledge to be like we were. As a kid in the 60’s and a teen in the seventies, I’ve seen massive change. Some for the better socially, but much good is lost, especially in music. There’s not much like this music that touches your heart like this anymore… praying for the human condition….

Hard to believe they could have broken up when their music was so incredibly beautifully and entwined. How many more wonderful hits could they have gone on to produce Rich

[@ziggystardust52]

If they hadn’t, would they have reformed after 25 years, (few groups last forever), and continued delighting us for a further 20 odd years? We’ll never know.

I'm the same age as Judith. I loved The Seekers in the 60's and I love them even more now. The melodious songs, the perfect harmony and the occasional change of key mid stream give me goose bumps. And as for Judith, she has the singing voice of an angel. I am thrilled to know she has recovered from her stroke. God bless you Judith.

[@EarlJohn61]

You do realise ALL the Angels mentioned in the bible are male... So you are saying that Judith sounds like a bloke!

[@ziggystardust52]

@@EarlJohn61, what’s your point? I was under the impression that angels were asexual. It’s only because of patriarchal writing that they were assigned male names and gender.

[@krislevesque5760]

Love this 60's music. I was a young girl when It was popular. It's the only music I really love.

[@markhill9275]

What stuns me, or perhaps totally bewilders me, is how Judith thought she wasn't attractive. Bugger me she was an absolute gorgeous stunner! Face of an Angel, and a positively evil figure (in a good way!). To me she was / is one of the most spectacularly beautiful woman ever, definitely in music, up there with Agnetha and Anni Frid, and the Corr sisters! Of course unparalleled voice, but her personal qualities, her stoicism, her total devotion to Ron, her tireless work for the MND foundation, always bright and cheerful, gay disposition. Yep love her voice, besotted with her femininity, but total admiration for her personal qualities. Ron was the luckiest bugger ever! RIP Judith and Ron!

I was an American kid living in England for two years. One month before I left the country I grew to love so much I saw this concert in 1968. I didn’t know who they were or what this was but I just was glued to the TellyThroughout this whole concert. But when they SANG Georgie girl I was so moved with the joy but I thought to myself how sad I’ll be in America I will never hear this song again. Little did I know Georgie girl was a bigger hit t in America than in England! I still love this song and the seekers

They stormed the charts here in the UK in the early sixties when they had the awesome might of the Beatles, Rolling Stones , and Motown to contend with ... but there was no holding the Seekers , they even knocked the Beatles off number one! I think 'Georgie Girl' proved to be their biggest seller , and i'm pretty sure it went to number one in the US charts.
