The Seekers - Morningtown Ride

[LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH]

God if they could bottle this and sell it, I'd be a' Seekersholic' in no time! Fantastic stuff. Judith Durham's voice is fantastic-she should be placed on the endangered species list IE A female vocalist who can ACTUALLY SING!

[skooterbud05]

Judith Durham is that one in a million that you just help but love just by looking at her and listening to her. She truly is a world treasure.

[PR54GB]

Happy memories from my childhood in the sixties, and just as brillaint now!

[applepie238]

thank you lord for sending this beautiful angel for us to share we will look after and love her forever.xxx

[MsMikuruBeam]

I think there's an angel on that stage. She sounds like one, she's dressed like one and she has a magical way of making me feel completely safe and happy.

[24428997]

reminds me of ed strewarts junior choice

[peter92305]

I shall always be grateful for the fact that i was a teenager in the 60,s. It wasn't all Beatles and Stones. The Beach Boys had their exciting California sounds and close harmony groups like the Seekers were a joy to listen to. To add to that, Elvis and the Everlies were still making great records. Is it any wonder we grew up full of optimism.

[Tashyboy15]

Such a great group, judiths vocals are still as good. Excellent !

[christiendamman]

Prachtig!

[etransform]

God, I love this song. Love this Group. I sang this song every day to my children when they were 3 - 5 to help them go to sleep.  Now of course, I sing this to their children who are now 3 - 5. So the cycle completes its circle. Pure, unspoilt, un-commercialized group. Thanks.

[tony13a]

I can't belive her voice has got even better with age, love her always.

[applepie238]

this is so beautiful and judith looks AMAZING XXX

[PaulDePace]

Wow...just an incredible voice....

[applepie238]

[PaulDePace]

Pure class...something we don't see much of these days...

[ndhan72]

Here's real talent for ya ....not like this Britney Spears crap.

[pegrueneis]

@ndhan72  sooooooooooo right !

[cutanea2]

Listening to this takes me back to when our daughter was about three years old, we bought her the single and she loved it. We played it so often you could see through it. Many thanks.

[ndhan72]

A note to "jmus".....people who cannot express themselves without the use of profanity are wankers.

[ndhan72]

The best musical act to emerge from Australia.

[ftmwithsafc]

[hydroman114]

[australis82]

This was the first concert I ever went to. I was ten years old at the time, and will never forget it.

[pbarber307]

I was only 4 when my dad got transferred to Australia for work. I remember my parents listening to this record all the time. Now I'm 45 and sing his song to my little 4 year old before bedtime....guitar and all!

[rdvqc]

I remember when this one first came out - not long after "World of Our Own".

Sounds as good as ever 20 odd years later.

[skooterbud05]

Judith Durham, THE PERFECT TEN !!!!!!!!!!!

[AnnaHennesy]

My Mammy used to sing this song to me when I was little and couldn't sleep<3

[box500london]

Classic and beautiful !!

[BOOBMIT]

[Spacierflame]

[Diveno1]

GREAT , MEMORIES OF STEWPOT WHEN THE WORLD WAS INNOCENT

[JHMarsden]

the very best ever

[bjhch]

Takes me back to my youth Iloved the Seekers

[steveh777ify]

Wonderful. Pure Age of Innocence Stuff. What a beautiful Lady, and a captivating voice that will resonate through the ages.

Judith Durham could be Lirazel in "The King of Elflands Daughter" by Lord Dunsany.

[tmarszol]

What a voice Judith Durham has, love her

[oldgymboy]

oh well,tears in my eyes now.thinking of my mum and dad and when i was a little boy.oh how i miss them

[BakkiBoo]

OMG Im crying I remember this so well ...was my favourite song at age 5!! OMG! I always felt this was my safe song to go to sleep to;...About going on a warm safe snug journey being rocked to sleep by the lulling 'rocking rolling riding' motion of the carriage of a magical train heading for 'Morningtown ...many miles away'!...

Such a lovely nurturing song that bring back these wonderful memories,..I have tears streaming down my face! lol

[acheface]

@BakkiBoo Snap! My dad used to sing this to us at bed time... Christ, I'm filling up thinking about it!

[applepie238]

this must be most peoples alltime favourite seekers song,judith looks absolutly stunning and her voice WELL,we all know about that. xxx

[rorodb123]

When I was younger (10 or so years ago) my dad used to sing me this song before I went to sleep. He just reminded me about it today! Haha

[50Emerald]

What a *beautiful* performance by a terrific lead singer and group -- love 'em to pieces for all that they've given us -- and such memories they evoke...

[scroggihn]

do they every tour in scotland

[lardarsedmanc]

Christ, tears running down my face listening to this. What a memory of childhood

[RHODESIA111]

@lardarsedmanc - a treasured memory of hearing this playing on the R.B.C. (indeed - almost as on cue !!) as the overnight mail train - Salisbury - Umtali (Rhodesia) pulled out of the staion that evening all those many, many years ago - yes, what a truly treasured chilhood memory !!

[funnella]

absolute brilliant brings back so many memories of the what seems like yesterday i wish

[codyclubmember]

still fantastic, after all these years,,,,im still a fan,its great to see the seekers still performing..

[coffindodgers]

These are proper musicians that is the reson they are an enduring prescence on the world. They were not manufactured to make their handlers lots of money they sung because they enjoyed it and enjoyed sharing their gift with us. Many Many thanks to them for this

[freebird1974]

What ever happened to real talent? This is REAL talent not these asses from American Idol. This group sounds as good as they did back in the 60's

[jbarfuzzface]

Judith and the guys are scheduled to be together w/Andre Riu in early 2011 in Melbourne. Would give my eye teeth to see them.

[howzitgoin1970]

@jbarfuzzface Lord willing, I'll be there. A whole lot of us should meet up down there!

[simes2024]

The years 68 to 93 were kind to Judith.

When is '93 was this btw? I was in Melbourne in January/February but heard nothing of this.....

[codyclubmember]

they still have that X factor,wonderfull,even my gran son loves playing their music, bravoooooooooo yeah!!!!

[jbarfuzzface]

Pure heaven! Judith is an angel and the guys are magnificent as well. Brings back so many good memories of my youth. Australia's gift to the rest of the world.

[whiskymincher]

Simon Mayo just played this on Radio 2. Brings back memories.

[awnok]

Yep.

[Steve47324]

I havn't heard this for 13 years,

And i am 16...

[RHODESIA111]

meant to be like - typo !!!

[RHODESIA111]

My father worked on R.R. and he loved this song - I guess it influenced his son! becuase I do as well. This lady has such a lovely, distintive, angelic voice - not unlike the plastic wananbees turned out in the X factory production line today.

[HerrEllsworth]

Only a few groups pick up the pieces so well after so long. The Monkees were one and the Seekers certainly were one.

[realsinglebloke]

Judith Durham ... we're not worthy!

[Morglay]

Doesn't that woman ever age?She's still georgeous!

[aodchain]

Fantastic. What a wonderful voice.

[barneswriter]

Joan Baez!!! Read up on music history.

[tojour]

wow, voice is still nice

[lickeyhills]

@tojour NICE!!

[6669neil]

Fantastic I was priveledged to see Judith and the boys at the Albert Hall in the 90's,her voice is magical takes me back to the 60's I loved her then and do so even now.

[Werribeesteve]

They were a bit daggy even in their heyday, but they made such great music with no gimmicks and we all loved them. We Aussies are very proud of them. Sorry, but I can't help saying I think Judith Durham is still a bit of a spunk.

[rothwellss]

heard this song in 1968 whilst in juniour school great then better now thanks for the post

[Dillonodeeyx]

greatest group ? but greatest female singer of all time by a mile...her voice brings a tear to my eye.. every time i hear it.

[taddyd1]

@Dillonodeeyx

she is great but no match for her idols Baez and Collins.

[oldfugnug]

@taddyd1

Baez and Collins WHo????

Never heard of anyone called Baez. Did you mean Phill Collins????

[oldfart269]

@oldfugnug No, he meant Joan Baez and Judy Collins. If I remember correctly, Joan Baez sang with Big Brother and the Holding Company.

[MichaelSansone1948]

I listened to them in the 60's and still do most everyday. It's different than the crap that''s available now. Anyone who loves this group has to stand in line behind me.

[MichaelSansone1948]

Anyone who loves this group has to stand in line behind me. I listened to them in the 60's and still do most everyday. It's different than the crap that's available now.

[lickeyhills]

I fell in love with her in 1963, and still am.

[jeppesen99]

Another great 60s group

[iowa61]

The Seekers. Reunited and performing together again this October in Australia...

[jekiwe]

thanks for the information Steve but I really don't understand PAL format from any other so I guess I won't be purchasing the DVD but I'd love to see the whole thing because I love the group very much...thank you

[jekiwe]

is this concert available on DVD?

[steppen10]

@jekiwez: There is a DVD of this concert but it was made in PAL format....Most US DVD players play only NTSB format...There are some US portable DVD players that play all formats such as the one I purchased and the concert DVD I purchased came all they way from Australia...

Steve

[westlag]

Judith is like a fine wine get's better with age

[SCinh04]

I used to listen to this song before going to school. It gave me such a lift.

[oldcomputers69]

not heard this in years, had me in tears.

[gazer55]

I Have Yet To Hear A female singer with such a Supierier Voice .Your Voice and Songs Still bring me so much joy Judith x

[phil31047]

What a great clip,Takes me back. Don't they do kids songs anymore ?perhaps the youngsters need puff the magic dragon to save them from growing up to fast.Judith just as beautiful as ever.

[cpnstav]

great Group he was brilliant on that banjo too

[woodster1965]

love searching Youtube for the old 60s/70s tunes...this is an absolute gem!! 

[KnightVow]

God must have smiled when he gave a voice to Judith Durham.

[Lisnageeragh]

@KnightVow a little off her prime , but still great to hear

[oldfart269]

@Lisnageeragh Maybe a little off her prime, but find me another 67 year old lady that can sing like she does!

[rotcafarg]

@tunesmith09  {{{gag}}}

[oldfart269]

@KnightVow He did, and He smiles every time she sings.

[bajangirl01]

@joehampshire I AGREE! I LOVE THEM!

[freetobeme03]

Can I have that dress for my wedding?? SO princess-esque!

[mustaphaguitar]

Hard to believe that beautiful voice could ever be better, yet there's a maturity now that communicates something spiritual.

[TyneGibbs12]

I thought she passed away a few years ago :'(

ah well

[gillmoss2000]

Perfection in every way!

[marylebone454]

i had a crush on her as a youth..........kin ell I am 54 now and she still turns me on..............happy memories of yesteryear

[wlmasters]

This takes me back

[steveJ1957]

This is Magical ...................  :-)

[fwad23]

I'm a 57 year old burly ex farm boy and this tune still brings tears to me eyes - the magic of Judith!!

[EmmaEmma888]

my sons bedtime lullaby :)

[acp2662]

Great voice Judith has, I remember this song as a child of 3 or 4 years and never hear again till about two years ago. I now use it as my ring tone.

[gerrygke]

Love the hair as well.  Congrats to you Jane. It's a lot of work, but really worth it. I love her voice and interpretation. Superb performance.

[misterdakman]

super - would love to be riding a train with The Seekers.

[janemccallum]

Nice to see Judith has kept her hair long, not seen too often in someone her age today, I still have my hair long, although I am not as old as her x

[YCTANGHKGGG]

Still a refreshing voice,

just like the feeling after the bath, so comfortable & happy !

[trossachs2003]

Did this ever get put on DVD?

[steveJ1957]

@trossachs2003 YES !!!

[rockgor]

Great song! Great group. Judith Durham

gave the group its distinctive sound just

like Glen Yarbrough did for the Limeliters.

Whatever happened to the young folks who

loved folk music and wanted a world of love

and peace and scented candles?

Guess we just all got old.

Tx 4 the post.

[scroggihn]

thats what i call music great stuff

[rwb010109]

WOW!! RWB

[lwkschoy]

I really want to clap and sing with them...

[laffs]

wow this sounds even better than the original what a voice band and sound

[arizonaghost1]

thank god for all this great music....wish they would sing some of it in our churches

[1963MIKE45]

i was very young when my mom sang this to me she died in 2006 and when i here this now it brings so many memories thank you the seekers one of the best talanted groups ever

[VealParmigiana]

Great song. Vintage Judith Durham.

[iowa61]

You know. You could make that case. At the very least they are one of the top tier groups of the pop music era. No credible argument to oppose that...

[iowa61]

What a JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!
