- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- This stereo version was created by group member Keith Potger in 1969 by adding instrumentation & harmonies to a demo the group had recorded 6 years earlier. It was released on LP at the time, but to date remains unreleased on CD.
The video is from 'The Seekers At Home' DVD. Best of the 60s in stereo: • The Seekers - I'll Nev...

My appreciation for your beautiful music for so many years! ❤️ and my condolences for the loss of
Judith. A kind and wonderful person and artist RIP 🙏🏽🌹
A fan of this amazing group. I never tire of listening to them!
I prefer Woody's original version.but it is a good rendition
If you remember the Seekers you are like me; as old as dirt. They have a unique sound!
@@andrewleitch5661 with all verses. There's a version in Yiddish.
I'm a big Beatles fan. I really like the Seekers. There healthy & wholesome to listen to. Keep it coming.
A lifelong Seekers fan, keep them coming.
So am I
I heard that!
Big fan too! 🤗 62 years OLD 🦕 This great song is beautiful by Guthrie, Seeger & Springsteen (at the capitol) plus many others. But these folks were really something special! I never heard them sing this before, but I love it's upbeat tempo & cool video 🥰 They remind me of PP&M and Mama's & Papas. Ah, her voice!
Like them or not, you gotta respect the 🎶 from the 60's & the intent behind it -- nothing like it 🙏✌️👣
good‼︎ I love The Seekers ^ ^
from Japan,18years old
Omedetou ❤️
Hi again rich963! Once again, I commend and congratulate you for keeping the music of the incredible Seekers alive for my generation and future generations! 😁💖👍👍👍 I was born in 1950, so I grew up in the main era of Judith, Athol, Bruce, and Keith. But in the 60's during my teen years, I mostly embraced the music of The Moody Blues, Beatles, Bee Gees; and rock and roll and pop. However, now in my early 70's I have finally grown up and fully embraced The Seekers. No offense to big fans of The Beatles (whom I also love), but for me The Seekers are the Greatest Band who ever lived! I am so happy that all of them are still living, and I hope they all outlive me. I am now making up for decades of lost time by listening to this beautiful group each and every day for the rest of my life! God bless you and The Seekers, good sir! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 P.S. IMHO this is the BEST cover ever made of this iconic song, and I will send this link far and wide to all my family and friends, and strongly recommend they subscibe to your channel! 😁💖😁💖
Sadly, by the time you made this post, Judith had passed away. RIP JD.
Lovely song.. all of them. The Seekers, through their songs made the globe, "this land (was made) for you and me."
Judith has such a beautiful voice
Her voice - right there among the very, very best of the pop-rock era.
Not included on this track though!
The sound is superb, beautifully match with the fantastic video clip, well done! thank you very much.
What a beauty, I've been to that winery and to see the Seekers there' in South Australia...it's timeless.
Beautiful voices. Thanks for posting
Reading Judith´s biography we learn that the guy driving the tractor was at the time her English boyfriend.
Rich, thanks for posting this real gem! Keith did a good job with this so many years ago. Love these 4 more than anything! (And you for sharing it!)
Love The Seekers, my kind of Musik ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you SO MUCH for uploading this . One of the absolute BEST musical groups ever . I remember singing along at the top of my voice as a child and being so thrilled when I saw them on the telly. Their voices blended beautifully together and each one was amazing. They sounded even better Live and that's a rarity. I'm hoping to go into seniors' homes to do karaoke sing a longs and I think that the Seekers' music would get everyone joining in . I have to practise much much more before I do however as I don't want to "murder" these beautiful songs.
we used to sing this song in grade school, loved it. now, grade schools can't afford music class, and teach harmful garbage. progress? i think not.
Love their music
Amazing it sounds so much different
Pigtails! As if she couldn't be more adorable.
No group in the world comes close to the exquisite seekers.
Someone should write an Aussie equivalent. Maybe me. I sm Aussie and Canuck,!
@@kirstenhaldrup5219 The Seekers Are Australian 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me hubiera gustado vivir en esa época en California
Wonderful Judith, wonderful The Seekers
*Even though this is sung by Australians, the Australian scenery shown at the start looks uncannily like California's two central valleys - the Sacramento and San Joaquin. Same sunburnt scenery, same palm trees, same rolling hills, same crops.* 🌴☀🌴☀🌴
No ,it is very Australian scenery.
Don't try and steal our Aussie Seekers!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes. And plenty of eucalyptus trees in California too.
Love the video! Thank you for posting this gem.
Love the Seekers!
Dear Judith Durham in Heaven forever and ever RIP with angels and Jesus Christ
Canzone e video super, che bello ascoltare e guardare questa meraviglia! Grazie per la condivisione
I like this version.
im seventy one never heard this before like it a lot
Wonderful
The Seekers with Judith Durham are the best. 🙏🙏🇨🇦from Canada.
I know the video is probably from 1969, but the music was clearly pre-Judith. You can't hear her voice in the harmony, and if she had been in the group, she certainly would have sung a verse.
When this was recorded in 1963, Judith had only recently joined the group so many of the songs were ones which she or the Boys had performed previously...
D, this land, the world is ours, if we can afford to travel. My land, India is yours, what is mine is yours and there are a whole lot of beautiful places in India, that will take a lifetime to explore. I'd like to explore some of these beautiful places, with you. Not to mention the English countryside.........
Thanks to you Rich i shall be in hot water. Household chores will have to wait while I peruse your graciously shared catalogue of The Seekers
Me, too! This music is a kind of magic! And, no, it doesn't bother me that they're from Australia!
Those chores would pile up - Rich has posted a LOT!
Very good,!! Lovr the Seekers
this land was our land
Tremendous series
Enchanting!
Very odd pairing here with this video and song. Very famous American folk song (by Woody Guthrie), sung by an very popular Australian singing group, in a setting that is clearly not in the U.S.A. In any case the Seekers did a great job with Woody Guthrie's song!
Thanks - the upload was mainly for this rare stereo version of the song. Rather than just attach a still photo to it, I thought I'd use this footage (there's none available of The Seekers touring the US) ;-)
Interestingly, I also uploaded another song from this LP at the same time ('Children Go Where I Send You') and this one has had more than 6x the number of views!
I have commented on this earlier but, I wish people would sing ALL the verses. It gives you a different perspective. Americans are probably scared of the backlash, but there’s no reason for an Australian group to leave out the more controversial verses.
@@ziggystardust52 Some foreign groups like to stay out of US politics.
@@rich963 Maybe people are afraid the other one might be religious?
I feel sorry for that poor guy who drove the tractor. They just walked off the job and left him to do all the work.
Every time I hear this song I think of the morning announcements in elementary school.
Singing about the US in South Australia
But recorded in London.
Wow. No words.
Thank you !😃
August 2022 ❤️
Strange video. Grape fight!
But where's Judith? She's obviously in the picture -- but on the recording? Her voice is too distinctive not to miss.
Yes, maybe I should change the picture - RUclips generated it automatically.
@@G6JPG By 'picture' I meant the thumbnail which RUclips generated from the video - no, Judith isn't in the recording.
@@rich963 Thanks. (If I forget to post a "thanks", assume it was me that did the "like".)
MUITO BOM
Athol Guy went on to develop his own winery in the Macedonian ranges later in life. I wonder if this skit inspired him. He seemed to be on a grape high in this video.
Surely you mean the Macedon Ranges? Autocorrect is a pain.
@@ziggystardust52 OK, I stand corrected. So glad you are still watching the Seekers! This was a fun video.
@@kathrynepaine2883, my only gripe is that this version, like the Peter Paul & Mary version, leaves out the verses that completely change the focus of the song.
We used to sing this in elementary school....do they still?
Dixie land too. Politically incorrect nowadays. 😂😂😂
Show !!!
amen and amen
By God they were good, dear God take unto your, care the soul of Judith Durham
Bagi gue the seekers itu betul betul penyanyi yang oke
Where is this place in australia too
Barossa winery, Victoria, Australia.
@@rich963 thanks rich you are a good friend too
Ar they throwing grapes at each other?🍇🍇
Good afternoon my friend rich963 can you please download Judith Durham Danny Boy (With introduction To Song) here too
This land is the Governments land
While are you singing a cover song here too
I love the Seekers
Good afternoon my friend rich963 Can you download Bonnie Tyler song Total Eclipse of the Heart (Turn Around) too
😊
Why would they sing about the USA and not do it for Australia but they never return to Canada and USA after they made it big too
They later _did_ do it for Australia - I'm sure they did Waltzing Matilda, but they also created - one of them wrote it - I Am Australian, which is definitely "doing it" for Oz - it's a classic.
Pity they left out the usual verses that completely change the meaning most people get from this and the PP&M version.
Woodie wrote 2 additional verses. They don't get sung a lot.
@@marksheiman1538, that’s what I was talking about. PP&M sanitized it to appeal to the populace.
Can't hear Judith's voice on this. Did she sing it?
I don't think so, she was with them but not featured.
This song was _not_ written by Woodie Guthrie - get it right. He just changed the words to the song "When the World's on Fire" which was written and performed by the conservative Christian "Carter Family". Guthrie copied it without accreditation.
.
He only used part of the melody. May as well say John Denver didn’t write ‘Annie’s Song’, or Tom Springfield ‘The Carnival is Over’, and countless other songs based on older songs. You’re just pissed because Guthrie’s original words are anti-capitalist. Get off your high horse.
Many of his melodies were from other songs.
This song should of been this land is your land about Australia not the USA at all here
The song was not written for The Seekers. Woody Guthrie wrote it for himself.
Ok kids no running 🏃♀️
If i was a singer here an living in the netherlands i would never sing a song was not related to my country at all too
@@G6JPG good morning my friend g6jpg that's not the only song they wanted for the national athem they wanted to be I am Australia as the national athem Bruce Woodley said no to it
@@larryvermeer6170 I was just replying to your comment that you wouldn't sing a song not related to your country; that's your choice of course, but I see no reason not to sing a song they like just because it's about another country.
@@G6JPG good morning my friend g6jpg thanks for your reply but i would myself i would sing a song by my own country not another country too. Am from Canada no Canadian singer or group ever did a song of Canada like the Seekers did for australia too
good morning my friend rich963 this has nothing about australia at all this song is about the United States of America
are they in AMERICA or are they in Down Under??? They are not from AMERICA
They are Australian, and the video (though not linked to the song) is in Australia. The _song_ is about America, but no reason not to do it if they want to.
Couldn't hear Judith, not as good as their norm.
She's not in it; recorded not long after she joined.
Peter paul and mary did this song
Woodie wrote it. Sang it .actually it's God blessed America for me
The guys were so lucky they met Judith Durham and Tom Springfield (who wrote many of their hits) because without them - they suck.
LOL yup.. pretty much!
If this is a white man song about Australia then....
It isn't; "California to New York island" should make it fairly clear where it's about 🙂
