What a shock !! Judith Durham ist gone ... forever, but her legacy is with us forever. She died on my 78th birthday. What a coincidence. Judith's life and music has been at my side all life long. I will miss her personality and her fantastic voice. God bless her and take her in his arms in heaven. I am so sad ......
But her voice and presence have not left us. You can still listen to that forever. Enjoy.
Good evening my friend
Judith died on her 79 birthday to
I was born in 1955 and I first seen her on the Ed Sullivan Show an had a big crush on her an even today to
I was there - that voice! Still as good as in thec 60s incredible. So emotional . And now she's gone...
discovering the seekers was one of the best discoveries of my life
They're the only ones who didn't fall for drugs ... and have kept the SPARK of GOD in their lives.
May they continue forever.........GOD BLESS YOU ALL...
I was force-fed the SEEKERS thank God. I was a young engineer on the mv Port Lyttelton on an 11month voyage from NZ to south America and the Caribbean about 1969. On board was an Aussie freezer engineer who played the Seekers every time he was drunk, which was often. Have loved the Seekers ever since
72 years and a brain haemorrhage later she still has a voice like that. That's what you call an inspiration.
She's incredible
I think the Lady has the greatest female voice in the World from someone of 88.
Absolutely..She certainly trusted the Lord..
Yes!
RIP Judith - your voice and music will live forever
This is one of the best sounding audiences I've ever heard.
My God. Her voice never lost its quality. Phenomenal.
By far the greatest female singer in the world.....Judith Durham, the voice of an angel. I absolutely adore her.
Doug, I agree wholeheartedly!
I had ticket for this but was unable to go due to illness . I will now never see them live . I am now 50 & grew up with the seekers being a record my parents had . I have always been enthralled & moved by their sound & now own most of their CDs . Watching these clips just shows that this beautiful music was made by beautiful people . I doubt we will ever see their like again. Such humility & good grace is such a rare commodity amongst the so called stars of today . God bless & thank you x
I am an old man now. But when I heard the support from their fans, I cried. I know I am not alone.
I too loved the seekers saw them4 times over the years best concerts I ever went to judith Durham outstanding best female singer ever ged
Likewise...I'm 73 now & STILL enjoy their songs just as much now as then...pure & timeless!
I am 38 years old, and I grew up listening to their songs with my parents back in the Philippines. I have been searching for them in youtube, since I do not recal their group name, but I do remember their songs, now I am glad to see them after all those looong years, still singing and bringing me back to those days....
@@gerardhogan7565 Where did you see them? I live in LA Ca. and the only time they played here, that I can find evidence of, was October 7, 1967 at the Santa Monica Civic Center. I don't think they toured in the USA much.
You’re right! I too am an oldie , and recall the moment in England when I saw The Seekers for the very first time - it must have been the mo’ when they leapt into the news of their success! in the mid 1960s on my Mum’s black and white rented TV ( aye those were the days, and they weren’t easy eh mate, I bet you’ll agree…) …and remember how much I liked them at first hearing…But then at a changing point in my career and about to work in another country, I lost track of their progress…but I digress, but before I switch off, it was only two days ago listening to Bruce of the Seekers in his clip on the composition of his great song « I am Australian » and hearing his words about his Father and how he had come to Australia, alone, as a boy of only fourteen…That, thought I, demands a great deal of respect…a great load of empathy and feeling, and deep respect. too. And saying that, I think I can say I know what I am talking about, where human suffering, depth of feeling, and loss of friends and family…ye very gods, those who can extend their hand to others as if to say, I am with you, pray don’t feel alone…we are together in our understanding…as others were with us, God bless ‘em, who have gone before us…
Long live Australia! The Seekers are truly the greatest!
Judith Durham must be close to 70 yrs old, her voice and ability shines through, how many of those today can say they will be as good.
This was filmed a month and a day before Judith's 71st Birthday. She was born just nine months before I was, her voice (unlike mine) has not deteriorated, ☺☺☺
(mine was never that good anyway).☺☺☺☺
just don't stop playing or singing regardless, whatever helps lose a moment and gain a memory is worth it. I bet you sound better than you think in a bathroom : )
aussiness74
I must sound better than I think I do - when I sing and play nowadays my neighbours smash my windows so they can hear better ☺☺☺
compliments of all kinds should be welcomed lol
Judith Durham what a voice!
Who can but feel elated by this magnificent Australian band whose work will live on long after they are gone from this earth leaving a legacy of pure unadulterated musical joy the likes of which comes but rarely in the passing generations of mankind.
The Seekers are living proof - that Angels walk the Earth !! Please guys, never let the Carnival be over !
I am an American that grew up in the deep south. But as a teenage in the 60s I discovered The Seekers and fell in love with their style of music and especially the beauty and voice of Judith. My love and admiration for them and their music and music ability has not changed. I hope they continue to sing as long as they can.
Each time and year I visit this site, I realize how beautiful and more appreciated Judith and The Seekers are. Their music brings back memories of a time so long ago when life was simple. Judith is still so beautiful and her voice immortal. Last year I finally had my dream come true and met my idol; Judith and The Seekers. I wish them all well. They have made this world so much more wonderful with their beautiful and timeless music. I love them. God bless Judith and The Seekers and keep them healthy and safe. THE CARNIVAL IS NEVER OVER.

First time I have seen bthis footage tho
I have heard Judith speak of it in their 2019 interview. We will never find another you. But you are in our hearts so very deeply that something of you will continyouin this global pandemic, sea level rise., Violent and outrageously beautiful planet. Dreaming on
These are singers who sound fantastic years past and today. Thank you.
I first heard Judith and the Seekers when I was in Vietnam in 1966. Since that time I have consider them the most fantastic group that I have ever heard. I have to say thank you to my Aussie friends for allowing me to share their treasure with me. God bless them where ever they are now.
Was there this night!! Loved it, as did my wife. This concert was our 43 years of marriage gift to ourselves!!
Just pure magic. Magnificent performance by the greatest pop/folk group the world has ever witnessed. Go in peace you four stalwarts. You have achieved more than most of us dream about.
Just came across this video,the seekers were and are still fantastic.Just pure music and Judith a voice like an angel.
truly amazing. i first heard them in 1966. to hear them again now is like a gift from god. they were and still are, a part of my youth that was good and decent. my generation may be the first that can enjoy our music when we are old, as good as it was when we were young.
We were married in the 60s, and brought up our children singing these wonderful songs. Today they sound just the same Fantastic Group.
An amazing journey that began on a Cruise ship to England in the mid 60's.
I go to quite a few concerts and this one was one of the very best and most moving. I was at this performance myself, though not so near the front. Thanks for sharing. 'Colours of my life' is just wonderful.
My wife and I were there at the Royal Albert Hall for this performance. Don't tell my wife but I'm in love with Judith Durham - always have been
We all are....
The seekers symbolze and sing about everything that is good and pure in life.
I've loved Judith Durham and the Seekers since I was a young boy in 1965 and seen many, many live concerts of the Seekers, Judith as a solo artist and with the hottest band in Town . I'm always in awe at the sheer professional sound, musicality and massive talent. There will never, never be anyone that comes remotely close to this quality music and sound, absolutely fantastic! 😃😃😃
True
Isn't she amazing! How could so much beauty, voice and talent be packed in such a tiny package? Bravo, Judith! Angel, unaware.
The Seekers are the first thing I think of when I remember my childhood. Thank you so much for music that touches the heart.
This is one awesome group !!! They absolutely defy the old myth that a group can't last than more than a few years and yes, Judith is the heart and soul of this group
I'm an Englishman and you've got me in tears here! Love Australia :-)
Judith and The Seekers make other groups original songs better. She is just amazing and one of a kind. This was a fantastic concert.
I truly love this group from the moment I first heard them on the radio in 1961 !
Simply beautiful. Thank you from England.
An artist the caliber of Judith Durham, comes along only once in a lifetime.
you can never tire of hearing her wonderful voice long live the seekers
Oh how I wish I had gone to see them in Manchester but no one would come with me! Take note so called pop stars of today.This is class. Rockin' rollin' ridin'.. my fave song when I was 4. I'm now nearly 50 and remember like it was yesterday.
They are still marvelous, still sound great. A 70 year old fan from the Kansas U.S.A.
I'm a 75 yr old fan from Wisconsin USA...I'll never stop listening until I no longer can...Cheers!
Hello Mary I'm a bit younger from Wollongong NSW Australia and have watched and listened to these guys for many years and the 1 line of all their songs that I have always kept in my heart for those around me.. I Will Love You Till I Die..
Cheers
I was born in 1963, but thanks to my mum and dad who are no longer with us, I grew up with this wonderful music, Thank you Judith, thank you mum and dad. Judith you sill have the voice of an angel.
Thank you so, so very much for sharing this with us! Simply AWESOME! Wonderfully Brilliant! Thanks LOADSSSSS! Love The Seekers!
My wife, Sue and I were lucky enough to be in the Albert Hall for the Seekers last ever concert on their 50th Anniversary tour. Words can't express the joy we felt to realise that they were as good as ever. What a fabulous evening of great music. Thank you!!!!
+Dave Orange Thank you. Yes, it was a wonderful evening.
lucky you

I love all kinds of music Thanks for
I would have cried if I had been there. I remember their songs early on and I liked them. I am in the US and they toured mostly in the UK so I guess they weren’t promoted as much here. I lost my Mother in 2015 and had a hard time of grief. There was a song I loved but I never could find it. I thought I knew who recorded it but they didn’t. I googled a line of the lyrics and lo and behold it was a Seekers song! On the Other Side. And that’s when Judith and the boys became my favorite group of a lifetime. I ordered as many cds as I could and their music helped me when my heart was broken from losing Mama, Judith rose to my favorite female singer beating out Barbra Streisand! My only regret is that I did not fall in love with the Seekers in the 60’s. The Carnival is Over is my favorite of their song. God bless you, Seekers! 🙏🏻
@@vikkibyington3066 Just curious, did you ever like Karen Carpenter as a singer?
I always heard on the radio when I was a kid and now I think I'm a new fan. Thank you. Beautiful.
Feb 2020,still listening to the best voice of all time,Judith and the boys still evoke memories of the days of innocence,God bless
I hope that Judith and the "boys" will now go into a gentle and peaceful retirement and enjoy the life they have left, as we have enjoyed THEM for the past 60 years! God BLESS the SEEKERS FOREVER!!
I believe that they have all received Australia’s highest honours, their equivalent of damehood and knighthood. So deserved!
P.S. Still I’m live with Judith!
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recording. The stage door footage is particularly poignant at this very sad time. A beautiful memorial to an outstanding singer.
How wonderful , after all these years , 50 and still going despite odds etc . May God bless their souls for bringing so much joy to the world.
Judith looks so surprised to see and hear the audiences' standing ovation. Her humility and grace shines through, and I hope that the Seekers all recognised how very treasured they were and are for their music we all loved. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Was there with my husband who died last Sunday, had already arranged to play The Carnival is over as the exit song
I'm sorry to hear about your husband Shelagh
And that is what a REAL star looks like. I have loved you throughout my childhood and on into my retirement years x
So have I
I learned many of the Seekers songs, as a young boy in my Primary School Choir, back in the mid 60's, when The Seekers were topping the charts, and I've never forgotten them. I so wished I could have gone to one of these UK concerts, but I had other commitments. It's so good to see this video.
Judith Durham sounds just about as good as she always has.
How very happy I was to find this here! Thank you to the Seekers for all their beautiful music through the years. You are treasured!
Fabulous. I was lucky enough to be there that night. So pleased we managed to get tickets, it was a very special night. Judith is such a classy lady and one of the great voices of out time.
What a concert! The end was so cool when the crowd was singing to them as they left. Amazing doesn't come closed to describing the Seekers after 50 years.
You amaze me Judith!!
The Seekers and Judith Durham are forever immortal. "I'll Never Find Another You" brings years to my eyes each time I here it as it tells exactly what I feel for my wife. We've been married 25 and I love her a thousand times over each day than I did the day before. Thank you Seekers for 60+ years of wonderful music.
Fantastic stuff ! I'm 54 + I remember my Mum singing some of these songs to me when I was a kid in the 60's. I'd forgotten half of them even existed ! Really wish I'd been @ this concert. Tears in my eyes listening. 4 brilliant singers. Wonder if anyone will still be listening to X-Factor "stars" in 50 yrs time? Somehow I think not !!!
This was fantastic! I’m a 1956 baby and catching up. Particularly love that J. Durham paused to acknowledge the fans at the stage door. Thank you for this!
Judith ❤️ it's amazing what I read & hear and see in this woman , that infectious smile .
and all that love she has .
One of my fond memories was the year of ( 1965 ) talk about creating memories, one of the best years of my life .
I've read & heard about HEAVEN but I can't really fathom all of it & grasp it but I believe but can you imagine when you pass , she is right there with that great smile and holding out her hand to guide you , I know it sounds crazy but you just don't know .
Her legacy she left behind still lives , she was a beautiful person inside an out , she still teaches how to be a beautiful human beings , what a rose 🌹
One of the biggest blessings of my life ❤️ & yours too .
E
I grew up listening to them in the sixties to see them at it still sigh its like going home to that time. Georgygirl was awesome
Such a talented Australian quartet Judith the voice of an Angel takes me back to the sixtys oh such wonderful care free days of my youth I loved her loved her voice never be another Judith her perfect pitch clarity so wonderful thank you for all the joys of listening to an Angel with a great backing group of course too .
It brought me tears .... To see this Super Group, The Seekers with Judith ! This is the ultimate testimony that pure talents and great singers and great songs that spans decades.... And still sounds like in the 60's ...Judith and The Seekers you all are the gems ! The Seekers ! My favorite group ! What an epic performance ! Wow !!
Thanks for sharing this with us. Grew up listening to Judith's voice on the old songs. Love it.
The title says it all. 50th anniversary . I can say with 100% certainty that NONE of the so called singers/musicians of today will NOT make anywhere near that time in the industry. The Seekers music is still being played today, in cities all over the world. Ive been to a lot of international concerts in my time, this is one that got away from my bucket list. I'm thankful for the vinyl I have along with the updated stero CD remixes. Credit to #wolstenholme100 for this fantastic upload. 5* Thank You from my family and I , here in Dublin , Ireland
Derek McCormack I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Judith was wonderful!
+Derek McCormack .....
Adele...... certainly
+flychomperfly I guess we'll agree to disagree. I'm male in my 50's and I'm sorry to say that the only two artists I've heard of in your reply are Adele, and Will-I-am.( I would not listen to them for love nor money) ...but that's just my opinion and personal preference. Maybe you are a lot younger than I , and that being the fact? Maybe that's why I've not heard of many the said artists whom you've mentioned. Personal preference, age, where one lives...radio playlists, type of radio stations....the list goes on. Living here in Ireland, we would not have heard of many many singers, groups on other continents, but that can be said for many other issues. I think something that we can agree on is , that whatever music you have a likeness to, it can bring on many many emotions. Thank You for taking time to pass on your opinion, I wish you health, peace and happiness for 2016 and beyond.
+Lloyd Jordan Probably so. I just question weather artists of today have longevity in them. There is so much more money in today's music as apposed to the 50's 60's 70's, because of this, I'm of the opinion that you can be in the business a lot less, yet earn a lot more, but decade on decade, that can be self explanatory. Wish you a happy new year.
+Lloyd Jordan Oh please spare me
I have no words to describe that woman's wonderful voice.
How can such a powerful voice come out of such a tiny lady? Amazing!
Judith has a beautiful voice. I didn't know she had health issues. You sure can't tell it. She is just an Angel. Her voice is amazing and so unique. God Bless them all. And I thank them for sharing their music with us for so many years.
In this video she had just a few months before spent many weeks in the hospital undergoing therapy while recovering from a stroke. It was a very close call.
@@jbidd8647 From what I read, she had her stroke in May of 2013. The concert in the video above was more than a year later (June 2nd, 2014).
Judith and the guys are as good as they were all those years ago ! A wonderfully happy band with their own unique sound ! So sadly missed .
I Fell head over heels in love with this ladies voice back in the day & I still love it today. What a wonderful artiste this sweet lady is. So Sad to hear she's had it rough with her health. She will always be singing Royalty in my eyes. Long may she continue in good health
What a wonderful voice with a fab personality
Such class and selflessness Judith Durham displays here by lingering to the very last and smiling to her fans one more time before ducking into the confines of her limo for a well deserved rest.
Everyone is cognizant of the fact this is probably the last tour of this type The Seekers will be doing and probably the last tour of any type really.
Everyone savors the moments all the more accordingly.
So wonderful and touching to see this genuine sharing of mutual warmth preserved on tape.
So glad I was there.I agree this is probably the last tour the Seekers will do especially to England.Judith looked quite frail.I think they enjoyed the concert as much as the audience.A fabulous evening for all and I thank them.
I am SO lucky to have been alive during their time!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, Jesus, for such wonderful timing!!!!!!
+softclay4thought Jeez there still on stage signing and you sound like you've already thrown them in their coffins give them a break.
Marion faithful
It just doesn't get any better this this group.My undying loyalty to Mama Cass was overcome. by Judith's amazing talent, even through the 50 years interrupted with a stroke a year before this reunion.
The best voice the world has ever had and likely to have, long may she and them live
In an interview the Seekers were asked about the way fans shouted and screamed at the mere sight of The Beatles, but were much more "well behaved" in relation to the Seekers. This video proves that the Seekers also attained such kind of reception at last, since by the end of this memorable event the entire audience was on their feet screaming like 1960s teens.
Thank God that after all the sorrows she went through it all came around full circle, and she can still sing beautifully for all of her fans, with all the members of her original group.
What a joy that they're performing after 50 years!! What beauty!:)
Moments 50 years apart and she has the world's most perfect voice at both of them. Like Nils said I am so lucky to be alive during their time.
I have loved The Seekers since i was a kid, i always felt an affinity with Judith for some reason, i think it's because she is pure of heart & soul, i saw her on stage twice back in 2003 during her "Diamond" tour to celebrate her 60 birthday and her voice is truly timeless. I also had the incredible honour of meeting her after the show at the Dome theater in Brighton and it was a very magical experience for me and she was without doubt a truly beautiful soul with a lovely vibe and so down to earth & warm to all her fans too.........precious memories i will never forget
I can't believe i'm the first one to give a like to this wonderful video,
this historic moment of The Seekers! And that last scene with Judith is heavenly. Very, very thanxs for that.
Judith Durham should go down in history for her very talented voice
They are all great and Judith is a treasure.
Derek, I was lucky to see them in Belfast for the 50th anniversary tour and it was magical. The experience will live with me forever. Judith's voice is still crystal clear - like a bell.
Timeless talent and class. They will be sorely missed on the concert scene and as recording artists as well. However they have over 110 recordings that will keep them in the front of their public’s minds forever.
Her voice kept getting stronger and younger as she kept singing. Amazing.
They were the greatest and the way Judith bounced back after all she had been through is fantastic. Grew up in the 1960s listening to them.
After 50s of great music is still stands for the Seekers and Judith's voice still as powerful
Totally blessed to have seen the Bournemouth concert of this tour, I was totally blown by their talent and Judith’s amazing voice. Well worth the fifty year wait!
i was aboard the Fair Sky With my uncle bob It was heavenly music it has never been repeated
Seekers were fortunate to have great songs & great musical ability. Difficult to find a better folk/pop group in any era.
Easily one of the greatest groups of all time and Judith simply oozes class.
Judith Durham,one of the best female voices ever.
Saw them in concert in the sixties. Still have one of their albums. What a classic group, my all-time favorite.
God bless each and everyone of them 🙏🏼
I love Judith; I love The Seekers! They are all just wonderful.
Great music and great personalities are the Seekers. It's an honor for me to have lived when Judith and company sang such beautiful music.
oh my, they still sound the same... Judith's voice is still perfection even in her 70's.... thank you for posting this...
Love how she smiled with her eyes
Brilliant and unforgettable. We were there on 3 June to see their last show. Thanks for posting this video, it brings back so many happy memories of a fabulous night in London!!!
The years have been good to you guy's, thank you for the music and songs. You have left something for generations to come, what have we left ???
this is GREAT! Judith and the Seekers are timeless, i'm spellbound
