With just the 4 songs that got air time in The States, the Seekers were among my top 5 favorites in the 60s. I new nothing else about them until youtube. I can't describe my feelings, finding them again and actually seeing them as in the 60s, hearing how Judith left them, etc. Here they have gotten back together, in the 90s and are unbelievably good. They still perform some, as of 2011. They are now my alltime favorites. I consider them phenominal and the musical group of the 20th century.
Was not paying much attention to them in the ‘60s what with marrying and moving over seas in ‘60s, but ditto about grateful for You Tube for bringing them to my attention. That Sound has to be among the blest things produced by the ‘60s.
Probably the greatest "comeback" record of all time. Absolutely uncanny, beyond reason and expectation that they could pick up where they left off 30 years previous, but this time as more fully mature adults. Maybe their best record ever, and also a palpable product of true collaboration. Updated without departing a whit from the classic formula that brought joy to millions. Brilliant. Guess you can't tell how much I like it...
Judith Durham is a lady who has received more praise for her staggeringly beautiful voice and wonderful singing than any other individual on TH-cam and none of it is undeserving. I should like to take the opportunity to heap some praise on those three lads who make up the rest of The Seekers. They, too, are outstandingly good musicians and musical arrangers in their own right and are a perfect accompaniment for Judith. All in all what a fabulous group they are and no wonder Australia is so proud of them.
I agree with you Frank , interested in the first line is this true she has receive more praise than any other individual I would love to think this is true , lets hop so !
Every time I turn around on YT, I find another reason to conclude that, back in their heyday in the 60's, we just didn't get enough of the Seekers here in the States. We got "I'll Never Find Another You," "Morningtown Ride," "World of Our Own," and "Georgy Girl" - all spectacular, but that was it. Yet there were 7 songs, just in that 1967 concert in -Sydney- Melbourne, that reportedly drew a crowd of 200,000. This comeback came out in '97; why am I finding it only in 2020? So many, many thanks to those putting up more performances of this exceptional band! Please keep 'em coming! Fred
@@ziggystardust52 Yeah, I found that out later, after several more rounds of Seekers vids, and lost track of this instance of that error. I think I had seen "Sidney Myer Music Bowl" and mistakenly interpreted that as the "Myer Music Bowl" in Sydney. My bad!! Thanks for the comment, which allowed me to return and correct myself. Fred
When Judith Sings, she is in her element, this is where she is at peace with herself and at the happiest moments in her life, out side of her husband, Roger! I wish her much happiness and spiritual peace, since this is what she and the Seekers have given to us, thanks Judith!
These guys are amazing. I admit I have always struggled with "wholesomeness" but I cannot argue with Judith's voice and I have discovered they do have a nice, low-key, ironic sense of humour so, yes, I am still an admirer. My late mother so loved "The Carnival is Over" and I so love it too. It is nice to see them starting out again here. They clearly genuinely liked one another.
The unison singing sets you up for a strong wave of nostalgia when that unmatched "Seekers Harmony" kicks in. Genius song and arrangement. One of their best and 30 years later. I'm not one to gush, but they are amazing. I think I will listen again.
Brilliant song superbly delivered by four people with complete trust in one another , they know each other so well despite the 'gap years' ....this is exceptional, a fantastic Seekers record.
This is my favorite song from this album, and my second favorite song behind _I'll Never Find Another You_ Decidedly old fashioned sounding only without the 60's echo effect, but without sounding dated. A wonderful thing they reunited and made some new music. Obviously _Georgy Girl_ is the most recognizable song they did.
You’ll never hear harmonies like this ever again. As a kid I never wanted to hear this album again because it was thrashed on a trip up north of WA but this song has some of the best harmonies I’ve ever heard and a great producer in Charles Fisher who did a lot of albums with Savage Garden :)
Bravo on your response! Exactly my thoughts! TH-cam has opened up a whole new view of things I only knew through the AM radio in 1966. I just hope I can be as good at something as they are in music. The Seekers should be required learning material in every music school.
Har spilt Seekers med Judit Durham i 2 dager nå, og har blitt helt frelst av både musikken og teksten🙏 En Utrolig Fantastisk Fin Stemme❤️Det er år siden hun reiste heim..79 år gammel 😢
Yes, the best is yet to come. I turned 62 as well on June 21st the longest Day of the Year. Most Sunlight and The First Day of Summer for this boy of Summer.
how many of todays motley crew will look and sound like this angel at 68, this was the voice of the last 50 years and theres a very very excellant chance it will be for the next 50 no one born yet can hold a candle to her thats super praise for a SUPERSTAR performer, love you judith always.xxx
I'm so glad the fellows listened to Judith about getting paid better the 2nd time around, otherwise we wouldn't have this great music to listen too. So very glad.
It can't be, can it? She can't possibly be as perfectly perfect as she seems. God, I have such a crush on this amazing woman. Ga Ga - listen and learn.
I am thankful for the day I found you, Judith Durham and the Seekers. Remember it like yesterday. It was a 1969 LP of The Carnival is Over, long lost record I found in the collection of my transgender friend's family collection, when I drove her to family reunion after the surgery, to hold her courage. I had to play it on an old Torrens gramophone, just for the purpose of hearing the oldest record in collection, very rare here in ex-Yugoslavia. Just loved it. Love still lasts!
Love listening to Judith singing and watching her singing with the men from the seekers. Very enjoyable,thay are still my best to listen too. You can understand the words that sing
Imagine this song in the 60s, when they would have performed it at least a step higher in pitch. I think it would have been their biggest hit and The Seekers would have been completely over the top, for good, Beatles, Stones or what ever.
Calling me home. God is calling us all home, live your life here then come home my friends. He will throw the best party there is to celebrate your return to Him. Rev Jack
It's a bit of a shame that they didn't promote this album with a tour in the US. Incredible potential with several strong tracks...could have been massive. I think maybe at this point in time the Seekers were quite happy keeping things less complicated and staying close to home.
Their potential for success in America in the 1960s was huge. Had they attended the April 1967 Academy Award show they would immediately reach stardom status and a world of opportunities outside Britain would open up for them. But as a group ( and later even Judith as a sole artist) they always had management problems, playing in small venues and seeing most of the money go to the managers and recording companies. Much of this might have been different if they had moved to America about 1968. But they didnt, even after regrouping in the 1990s.
Their secret recipe --- LOVE & RESPECT for each other , great harmony , excellent production , entertaining , music that comes from the heart --Long Live The Seekers

Still listening in 2023
Started listening in the 70's. Thankful for the day I found you.

I think the Seekers are the greatest. For sure a world apart from the noise they call
music today.

I can see why you got the venue wrong. It was at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne. It was about 10% of Melbourne’s population at the time.
@@ziggystardust52 Yeah, I found that out later, after several more rounds of Seekers vids, and lost track of this instance of that error.

@@ffggddss, always here to help 😄.
Rest in peace Judith, you'll sing with the angels forever.❤
such an upbeat and happy and satisfying song - The Seekers are certainly in a world of their own
Such an effortless singer, and always with a smile. Absolutely wonderful,
There will NEVER be another you Ms. Durham.

Outstanding voices apart from one another, but together unsurpassed in my estimation.
Wow what a great singer, with a great voice, we will surely miss the great music of the seekers, but luckily they left us with a lot of great music
They are better than any of todays music keep it coming
Really great stuff. Very enjoyable. I'm listening to many of Judith Durham's songs on youtube and it is fantastic.

Love this group and always will.
Such a beautiful woman and voice.
We'll never find another you Judith. ❤
Excellent song; superb vocals by Judith.
This music is the best of the best, At the their last performance in Melbourne I actually ran out of tears!
Judith: Voice of an Angel.
Thanks.

8 August 2022..This world just lost one of its finest songstress.
They rocked the 1960s the seekers were fantastic then and now
The Seekers are amazingly talented. The musicians and of course Judith Durham. She also plays the piano beautifully.
Judith has been called home. RIP.

Best group of all time love you forever xxxx
voice of an angel
Great to hear a new song from a group of the 60's.
How could it ever get any better than this?
The more I hear of the Seekers the more I really like. Thanks for sharing.
How can you be in a bad mood after listening to this song?
It's not possible !!!
Great song , brilliant group!
The message of the Seekers to me as I approach my 62nd birthday is that the best is yet to come.
Yes, the best is yet to come. I turned 62 as well on June 21st the longest Day of the Year. Most Sunlight and The First Day of Summer for this boy of Summer.
What an upbeat happy song. Co-written by Judith.
Lee Anne P. I don't like this song because the music ain't good at all but good comment
Love the song and the group.
@@rileyann7817 Perhaps you'd prefer listening to Cardi B or Ariana Grande?
I've never heard The Seekers sing this before. I LOVE it!
My favorite Aussies! Thank you ;-)
Very good music! Big hug to all!
Timeless excellence!
Judith: class, beauty, talent.
What beautiful music!!!!!
Great song. For some reason, incredibly, the opening melody makes it sound as if its existed for ever.
lively, catchy, entirely delightful & infectious ear candy.
Do we have anything that compares to the Seekers today??
Thank You SEEKERS!
Judith: Get well soon.
Thanks for posting.

They sound wonderful as ever and refreshingly new. And Judith is still cute as ever after all these decades.
God this is excellent!
RIP beautiful Judith
A lovely happy song by The Seekers.
Still a fantastic group
I'm so glad the fellows listened to Judith about getting paid better the 2nd time around, otherwise we wouldn't have this great music to listen too. So very glad.
I would have loved traveling on a train with them and enjoy listening to their great songs they wrote.
Soo good. And so sad I never knew how good they were. In my part of the world we didn't her about the comeback until long after it happened.
It can't be, can it? She can't possibly be as perfectly perfect as she seems. God, I have such a crush on this amazing woman. Ga Ga - listen and learn.

That voices is un-touched by time
