The Seekers - The Last Thing On My Mind, Special Farewell Performance

[@andersosterman6361]

The Seekers were a fantastic group of superb musicians. I saw them live in London in 2014. It was so great, great…!! Forever in my heart…❤❤❤❤

[@paulhalpin3837]

Judith is the most underrated singer of all time.

[@brycecordry6153]

Agreed. May she rest in peace.

[@1958Cadillac-v2g]

How can she be underrated , when she is famous, and has fans worldwide, and has been since about 1964??

[@vgrof2315]

RIP Judith. You and your music are treasures.

[@collie3350]

She was absolutely not underrated.

Oh, Judith, I'm missing You - hear almost every day "I m Australian" and have tryed to translate it into german, to sing it here with friends and migrants, living here. I wish You can hear us singing in Germany. Rest in Peace and love and music's beautifull eternal garden.

[@krechenklein4453]

Love the guitar instrumental with Bruce and Keith. Judith is wonderful. Easily one of the best groups to ever have existed.

A few women have this level of beautiful vocals Karen Carpenter being another so very special spans time so easily almost 69 now and in my lifetime on one hand I could count such a voice

Pure quality of voices, diction, harmonies, playing, etc etc etc... Typical Seekers... Timeless!

All of those things and more, as you imply.

I miss Judith so much! I never tire of Judith and the Seekers. All the boys are very talented singers and writers! There will never be another Judith. ❤

A brilliant song written by Tom Paxton - the brilliant harmonies of the Seekers brings out magic. What a totally class act - the Seekers and Judith Durham

Love Judith and also think Bruce one of my favorite male singers in the world

[@brianpope5243]

The best folk band ever,

[@sabyegrp]

I was in a combat zone in the late 1960s the first time I hear the Seekers on a small transitor radio. Have loved them ever since. Judith was so special, a loss to the world of music.

[@iowa61]

Good lord, how good is this?

[@micklow1801]

Fantastic group. Great musicians and Judith such a velvet voice.

[@stewartfenton7660]

Glad to see comments crediting Bruce, who hardly sounds any different from fifty years before. I also love the video of him singing "The water is wide" from this tour, perhaps surpassing the original track from years ago.

[@lorriemamoet9406]

Rip Judith surely best female singer from the sixties

[@josephschroer7594]

I wish I could have Sang with Judith Durham!!! Joe from KY-USA #kyjoe

My favorite seekers song , Bruce is. Great singer

[@robsten5387]

I miss Judith Durham. I wish she is still alive.

[@formerparatrooper]

I lived in Gove Northern Territory in 1970-71 and an Aussie guitar picker and I picked and played this song many times. We picked this very similarly to how the Seekers play it here. A classic memory of Australia for me.

[@larryvermeer6170]

Are you still in Australia today

[@formerparatrooper]

@@larryvermeer6170 Larry, no--I took a contract in Africa and we moved there, and several contracts later, 4 years in fact, I could not take another ex-pat job and we moved back to the US and we have been here since 77. I went back in the Army then and I went to Airborne school at age 40, then I served with the 11SFGP for 6-1/2 years. I would have liked to have visited OZ again but it was not to be.

[@briannash4226]

What a fond and fantastic farewell!...sing on through the ages!

Once in awhile a song & a group come along & is unsurpassed, this is 1 of 'em.

That is god damn beautiful finger picking by Bruce Woodley. Not to mention beautiful voice.

[@alistairgill5538]

I'm glad somebody commented on the guitar finger picking. The strumming and base then fill out the sound superbly. Yes, of course the singing is wonderfully harmonious. Talent through and through.

Bruce Woodley has a wonderful mellow voice - after of course Judith's wonderful voice it was often Bruce's voice on the original recordings .Athol and Keith were very much harmony singers in the background. .The overall sound is unsurpassed!

❤️❤️Beautiful! One of my favourite Seekers songs!

[@eugenedegeorge5084]

I saw Tom Paxton (the writer of the song) when he used to play at the folk clubs in Greenwich Village in the 60s .I grew up outside of New York City .this is the best version. I actually do a cover of this version although I'm not as good as Bruce Woodley-- far from it.The Seekers my favorite folk group of the 60s. thanks for putting up the video

[@larryvermeer6170]

You still in New York

[@kayedavis1032]

Eugene, when Tom Paxton played in Oklahoma City in March 2020 he told me that The Seekers cover of this song is his very favorite, as I mentioned in a previous comment about a year ago. Would love to hear your cover of the song!

[@kayedavis1032]

Rich, I was so happy to see that you have highlighted this superb performance of my second favorite recording of The Seekers (taking second place behind The Carnival is Over.) In March of 2020, in the very last stage performance prior to the closing of venues due to CoVid in Oklahoma City, Tom Paxton delighted a capacity audience with many of his old and some of his newer songs. After the concert, I was able to meet and talk to him for a while. He told me then that The Seekers recording of this song is his VERY favorite cover! He went on to say that The Fureys recorded his favorite version of Everytime. Those are two of my personal favorites of Tom Paxtons!

[@larryvermeer6170]

i never heard of tom paxton what music did he do country or rock or folk

[@kayedavis1032]

@@larryvermeer6170 look him up on You Tube and spend sometime going through his music. Depending on your age, you may be surprised at how many of his songs you know, as many have been covered by other individuals and groups. He is a sensitive and insightful writer and is still making appearances around the US. I saw him again this summer (2022) at the Woody Guthrie Festival in Okema, Oklahoma. He performed “The Last Thing…” again there. So I was a happy camper! Brilliant, and a very nice guy as well.

@@kayedavis1032 i don't understand who you are talking about here i was born in the 1950's

[@kayedavis1032]

@@larryvermeer6170 You said you had never heard of Tom Paxton. I merely suggested that you look him up on YT and listen to some of his recordings so you could get to know him a bit. This song is one of his, so if you like it, you will probably like others written by him. Wikipedia has a great deal of interesting information about him including a long list of others who have recorded his songs. If you started listening to music in the 60s (especially folk music), you may recognize some of the titles he wrote. It's worth a few minutes to learn about Paxton. He received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009 and is still going strong today.

Call me crazy, but I personally prefer Bruce’s voice to Judith’s. Yes, while Judith has a beautiful ringing Soprano, I’ve always loved how Bruce’s mellow Baritone just sounds calming.

[@johnhenrick2298]

First time I've seen Judith just standing still. I was wondering if she wasn't well. And a pity the lighting put her in the background. Still a great performance, though.

[@lindsayolh]

Bruce was the lead on this one and the lighting reflected that.

[@krechenklein4453]

Athol to the far right probably had the least recognition here. Each to their own, for some songs.

When you are singing lead and Judith Durham is standing by you, you have made a terrible musical Faux pas!
