The Seekers Farewell The Golden Jubilee Australian Tour 2013 CD and DVD

In 2012 legendary Australian group the Seekers celebrated 50 years when they started singing together in Melbourne in an coffee shop which in an few years would achieve great success overseas as they would become the first Australian group to achieve chart success internationally which would last until 1968 when they broke up and fast forward to 2013 would do the Golden Jubilee Farewell tour of Australia and New Zealand and UK in 2014 which was an great success. It was filmed and recorded capturing this special moment for posterity and it is out now on CD and DVD which they performed their classic hits from the 60's as well as songs that was part of their stage act as well as their version of Silver Thread and Golden Needles and also on the DVD has tributes from people like Cliff Richard, Olivia Newton John and the Wiggles as well as clips on the stage of them in the 60's as well as the videos of them doing In My Life and Silver Threads and Golden Needles. It's BRILLIANT, FANTASTIC and SUPERB with FANTASTIC and great songs which has stood the test of time which sound great as ever as well as the excitement on stage entertaining the crowds to sing along to the songs which you will never tire of and the enjoyment of being there as I actually went to the show with my friend Anita @ the Convention Centre in Brisbane Wednesday December 4th 2013 which was FANTASTIC and BRILLIANT. The Seekers are not performing together now but they have left an great legacy of music which will live on and great to see interest in the group as last week there was an TV documentary about them on the ABC which was FANTASTIC. I Hope the CD and DVD go to number 1 as they should truly deserve it. It's an Must for Seekers fans and I give it 5 stars as it's in the shops now so do yourselves an favour and BUY IT which you will love it and be able to keep forever.
