Have got tickets to see them at The Royal Albert Hall London on June 3rd 2014 . Can't wait . absolutely love her voice & the music , so full of childhood memories.
The Seekers sought, and found. In doing so they have given the world a most wonderful and joyous experience, one that all of us should be thankful for. Well done The Seekers.
I got divorced a few years ago. When your wife divorces you at 66 you tend to feel abandoned. Here I am three years later and met a woman my age. She has been divorced for 17 years. Colors of my life hits hard and hits home. What a wonderful song to find and fill both of our hearts and heal the pain. Thank you Seekers
Judith is such a treasure! I have been in love with this lady since the 60s and she looks great in this video and my gosh her voice! Thnx for loading this.
@acclivity Ah, I think you found a speeded up version. If you look for your recording in HQ you'll find it's in C, as well as the live 1968 black and white (my favorite). That said... I love this song ! The blend of the harmonys, the timber of the male voices against Judith's is what makes the Seeker magic. And of course Judith herself, humble, beautiful inside and out.
Just been watching the 1967 version of this beautiful song, Judiths voice was incredible in it, just watched this live video & her voice (if it's possible) sounds even more incredible, Thank you Judith...
In 1967 she was still a girl, at her reunion she was a woman. The voice is deeper and, IMHO, better. Certainly her understanding of her art was greater. That she was able to share it well into her old age, despite accident and illness, was a kind of miracle. Thank you Lord.
@@goochywahwah You are quite welcome. I wish we in the USA had been more aware of her later on career, of the Seekers as well. FOUR outstanding musicians, it was. Amazing that they, men in their 80s(!) still have their middle-age voices. Carry on, gentlemen !
@kjaco56 Exactly right, and even stronger and richer then the 68 farewell version. What a beautiful lady. However someone needs to point out to the cameraman that there are other Seekers on stage. The blend of ALL these voices is what makes the Seekers magic........
@jade7249 I don't know whether you are aware that they did re-unite to perform with Andre Rieu in concerts in Australia in May 2011. Or do you mean since then?? I did seen them performing with Andre Rieu in the Rod Laver Arena in May 2011. They performed 4 songs. There are a few clips from these performances here on RUclips. I had hoped that Andre Rieu would release a DVD of one of those Australian concerts. He may still do.
judith ive been a musician for over 40 years and never have been touched the way this song touches my soul thank yu.. ill remember you -elvis version is very close..thank you judith a masterpiece of genious this song and her voice also... underated
My wife and I fell in love to the sounds of Judith Durham and the Seekers some 45 years ago. I can't listen to these songs without the memories bringing tears to my eyes.
Yipes, Judith Durham and Linda Ronstadt in the same sentence? The young Linda Ronstadt basically yelled her way through songs, and this is by Ronstadt's own admission. Judith Durham's voice seems effortless for her, even 25 years later. Pitch perfect clear and cuts right through, yet gentle and soothing at the same time. And if you've heard her speak, you'll know her beauty is both inside and out. A true treasure in the world of music.
About 4 years ago, William M wrote in these comments that he thought Durham is singing this song for her husband, who is in the audience. On the video of the 25th Anniversary Reunion Concert in Melbourne 1993, we briefly see someone, who I am almost sure is her husband, Ron Edgeworth. Just after the end of Morningtown Ride (about 26 min 40 sec into the show on the current RUclips video of this show), and before You’re My Spirit, we see the audience applauding. A blond woman is near the camera. The man I think is Edgeworth is the second man to her right. He turns to look at the camera as it moves down the aisle.
@acclivity1 The early version is actually in C. I personally don't think the one note difference in key changes the sound. Probably more likely the keyboard, electric bass and drums give it a smoother modern sound. I happen to think Judith's voice and pitch is stronger then ever in this version. My only complaint is that someone needed to tell the camera man that the band is The Seekers, with an S at the end.
I actually had a ticket for this tour in Manchester , and circumstances forced me to drop out at the last minute ...... simply just one of the biggest regrets of my life.
I think she was singing this for her husband and soul mate, who was in the audience and who would die just a few months later from a neuromuscular disease. The consumate professional, even in the face of tragedy.
A Jamieson Smile: "Black & Grey" are the colors for the comfort of a good night's sleep. Judith, understanding a child's first experience with sleep, recognizes she will be "without you". When the morning comes, after a good night's sleep, she awakens to the colors, "Red & Blue", the colors of someone she loves. With loving eyes & heart & the sound of a lover in love, Veritas, Peter (Jamieson)
It is interesting to note that they sing this a whole tone lower than they did 25 years earlier ... this is in the key of B, as opposed to Db for the earlier version. I have to admit it loses some brightness as a result.
This group is unbelievable. Close your eyes, sit back and listen to the 1968 farewell concert version and then listen to this version, performed 25 years later. I defy you to tell the difference.
"Highlights" are a very important part of a composition"s "rhythm & direction" (melody & contour). The "Melodic Highlight" (focus) on Judy by the Camera man was quite keen to show the true "energy of a "pop artist" of folk legend without distraction or "how many camera shots should each receive?". Leave that to the agent or vanity! With a smile in his heart, Jamieson (Peter).
The simplicity of the lyrics and the music is somehoe unequalled anywhere else. I can play these songs all day long and never get tired of singing along. This song is just so beautiful and so well sung and it will never be bettered.
I am not sure that the Seekers would have ever happened without Judith's amazing voice but it always seems to work best in concert with Bruce, Athol and Keith. Of course Tom Springfield's songs certainly helped launch them. Colours is an old favourite of mine
What a classic performance by the premier female singer in the world today. Sincillating sound from the whole group I must say.
WOW!! What a beautiful song co-written and sung magnificently by absolutely gorgeous Judith. Could not be any better !! Tim in Texas USA

This beautiful song and Judith's voice bring tears of joy to my eyes.
Have got tickets to see them at The Royal Albert Hall London on June 3rd 2014 . Can't wait . absolutely love her voice & the music , so full of childhood memories.
Saw them live in 1966, was smitten then, and still am today.
Forty years on and they still sound superb......Judith is probably the best female
singer of our time and this is their best song.
The Seekers sought, and found. In doing so they have given the world a most wonderful and joyous experience, one that all of us should be thankful for. Well done The Seekers.

Nice story Peter , all the best to the two of you mate .....
Judith is such a treasure! I have been in love with this lady since the 60s and she looks great in this video and my gosh her voice! Thnx for loading this.
Huge respect for how incredibly preserved her voice is after 25 years!
Absolutely ..... she brought the memories flooding back , what a voice.

Oh what an awesome trip down memory lane Judith had a fantasic angelic voice wonder where they all are now ?
Perfection, just brilliant, so simple and yet so powerful!

I agree with everything you've said John, Thank you for that..

Wow! I think she looked best here :) Awesome, awesome voice! Thanks, Judith!

Different key than the original, but incredible nonetheless.
This is absolutely Great. Judith's voice is just as beautiful as in the 60s. You guys are the Bomb!

Me too , Ed .... me too!
I've suddenly become a huge fan of The Seekers and Judith's voice. Reminds me of a young Linda Ronstadt. Even many years later.
This is the best version, of the best song ,sung by the best female singer of all time.Brilliant!
Judith has such clarity in the vocals , even now ........ and i've never heard anyone else who sings like her.
what a beautiful woman - and with the voice of an angel.
They are Legends !!
Timeless and perfect.
ONE OF THE PUREST VOICES I HAVE EVER HEARD AND SHE HELPED WRITE THIS SONG TO!!
so pure harmony....so beautiful people...I love them:)
what a voice! wow

LibraryUser61 Yes,I believe it's her husband Ron and her sister Beverly to his right
My all time favourite Seekers song

Goosebumps! Thanks for posting.
What a wonderful tune that touches your soul, this music will live forever 😍❤️
Is there anyone out there that wouldn't kill to have someone sing this song to them?
@drrjim I was comparing with this version in Db

I actually had a ticket for this tour in Manchester , and circumstances forced me to drop out at the last minute ...... simply just one of the biggest regrets of my life.
I see Judith singing a song, and then magic happens. Colors of My Life. Those connctions.

Colours is an old favourite of mine
Judith was the icing on the cake .... when people look back and think of the Seekers, they think of Judith Durham!
Just as fabulous as 1966.....x
Who are those two wallys ?
