The carnival is really over. Judith has just passed away and I watched this as a 64 year old and cried like a baby. Thankyou for the memories and a lifetime pure us iso memories. RIP Judith Durham AO

Judith Durham’s is the greatest, most stunningly beautiful voice in the history of recorded sound. One reviewer stated that hers was the best by a trillion miles, and I completely agree!.

Its just incredible how good she sounds so many years later no one like her ever

this womans voice is truly amazing the only voice that can make my hairs on me arms stand on end and my fav song in the world

Such a youthful, sweet, beautiful voice. Such a youthful looking beautiful lady 💗

Oh my god ,what a beautiful voice this woman has,aaaaaaamazing,bless her.

they are wonderful, Imagine it,s 2016 , 50 years after this recording, and they still have it . Life is full of magic, Thanks for The Seekers to have been through our lives.

The greatest Australian group of all time....I'm so proud of our Aussie Seekers, they are international treasures

Love listening to this song, it's so deeply touching and sad. The carnival is over. 😪

Heavenly music that will last forever. Seekers you have inspired a new generation of followers.

i lived in Singapore from 1965 to 1968 and remember this song being played at parties my parents had, and now i am there biggest fan, Judith voice is brilliant i went to Bournmouth in may to see them a night i will never forget

Judith's voice is celestial !!!

The most beautiful voice I have ever heard, remember this from my childhood and never forgot it, I have always been into heavy rock music, but always make time to listen to Judith.

The Carnival Is Over" Say goodbye my own true lover As we sing a lovers song How it breaks my heart to leave you Now the carnival is gone High above the dawn is waiting And my tears are falling rain For the carnival is over We may never meet again Like a drum, my heart was beating And your kiss was sweet as wine But the joys of love are fleeting For Pierrot and Columbine Now the harbour light is calling This will be our last goodbye Though the carnival is over I will love you till I die Like a drum, my heart was beating And your kiss was sweet as wine But the joys of love are fleeting For Pierrot and Columbine Now the harbour light is calling This will be our last goodbye Though the carnival is over I will love you till I die Though the carnival is over I will love you till I die..... NOTE: This song features the couplet "But the joys of love are fleeting/ For Pierrot and Columbine." Pierrot and Columbine were the names of two stock characters in the old Italian pantomime-like theatre known as del'arte Pierrot was a sad clown in love with the beautiful Columbine who breaks his heart by leaving him for Harlequin.

What an amazing voice. I first heard that in the sixties and was entranced by that voice. But she sounds even better now.

This is one of the greatest songs ever written. And as always sung beautifully and played brilliantly. I was 9 when this was released and loved it from first hearing it. 👍👍

What a voice. Still a joy to listen to.

Was für eine tolle und respektabele Persönlichzkeit ist diese kleine Frau mit einer unglaublich großen Stimme !!! Ich verneige mich vor ihr !!!!

THE SEEKERS💖👸🕺👬🌟🤩 Great!🎼🎵🎹🎸🎻🎤📀👍👏 From Hong Kong🙋‍♀️🌏💝🌺🥰

I saw them last week in Adelaide on their 50th anniversary tour but my wife needed to be back in the Philippines so sadly could not be with me. I've fixed it! Bought tickets for their last Aussie concert in Brisbane on December 4 and she'll be with me then. Judith's voice is as good or better now than in the 60's as incredible as that might be. Just wonderful!

Eternally beautiful voice of Judith. You are so missed.

I simply love Judith, looks so good and sings just as well as 1965, amazing group! Thnx for posting!

Let's get a million views for this special lady

It's Amazing Judith it's fantastic.

Just adore this...it was my Mums favourite

You are so missed. Your perfect voice can never be replaced!

great harmonies and what a sound from the 12 string guitar !! awesome !!

Judith's voice is pure and true timeless and ageless... if anything .. richer n golden. We used to sing this all the time back in College days... early 70s New Zealand 🇳🇿. One of the BEST BANDS outa Oz!! EVER! (Us Kiwis do not EVER concede anything at all to Australia and vice versa ~ but we stick up for each other in dire times lol) This band was COOL ❤💯❤

Just Beautiful!

My gosh! Is this Judith's real voice? It has never changed after all these years! Still as superb!

What a voice...Love it.

Gänsehaut pur....uff that's Folk!

Knocked the Rolling Stones off the the spot 0:07 - they were and are just fabulous singers and musicians!!! And of course adding to it all, they got Judith's splendid beauty and soothing, celestial voice!!!

Class, pure class.

brilliant brings tears to my eyes

Judith and guys, I will love you till I die!

I love her song especially "The Carnival is Over" love it n listening it over n over again, thx for sharing to us.

I can never tire of hearing this magnificent group. This performance is really every bit as good as their original studio recording.

sooo very beautiful

What a voice! Wonderful - it hasn´t changed the last fifty years! Thanks a lot! Best wishes from Germany, Werner

Looking forward to seeing them in Liverpool next month. What a fantastic sound

The original is brilliant, superb, but this is even more tremendous.

Absolutely amazing!

Sleep peacefully Judith such a lovely song

simply amazing

i got goose bumps hadn't heard this song in like forever

Oh glorious. They don't make them like this anymore

Dear Murray, I found you after 44 years. Our "Carnival" will never be over. I will love you forever! (X)

just utterly fantastic

Voice of an angel.

All the quartet still sound beautiful

The voices and music the same like before 36 years.

they will always be a faverit ,I love them

Definitely playing it tuned down a half-step which is VERY common among bands who have been performing years. Tons of top artists do it and no biggie - the voice just doesn't stay the same forever, we all know that. It still kicks ass though and is better than 99.99% of the crap on radio today.

This one circles Mornington ride and georgy girl..just some of the great songs from the fabulous seekers

heavenly version

Stunning woman

God bless

She has a great voice

Oh God. This is sublime in every way. Judith's voice brings goosebumps.

Fantastic range and quality in those 12 string guitars. Great video. Timeless

Great song still...

Fantastic range of material on The Seekers. Thanks so much Rich963

Judith on aina paras ..kiitos .

I think I probably heard Carnival for the first time (can't remember) when it was sung at the Olympics/Paralympics - I remember thinking even then the use of this sad, sad ballad was quite clever - the Games were their own Carnival that were over :-( I didnt know The Seekers used to close concerts with it back then.

Still a great singer..

Amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I agree, this is the best version of the song, Thanks for posting.

A wonderful record - thanks you guys

beautiful

Judith Durham... Ihr Gesicht ist älter geworden, ihre Stimme nicht. Immer noch überirdisch schön!!!!

Australia has myriads of treasures thay only Australians know about ,the seekers are up there with those treasures,they incorporate the feeling the knowing of what it means fair dinkum to be Australian.

Ps; Her voice is no change, her beautiful voice, love it.

wow! nuff said

très belle chanson

@Proculled: As far as I knoow, The group performed this song just one more time on TV, for the closing ceremony of the Paralympics in Sydney later in 2000. This was the best version though, IMHO.

Still got it!

You can't say that Judith's voice hadn't changed by 2000. It had got a lot better.

Wow!

Oh Judith you are incredible, how do you sound as good as you did back when?

My god, this is better than the original 35 years later!! Thanks for the upload!!

'The Carnival Is over ' was written by Tom Springfield Dusty's brother- he wrote alot of 'The Seekers great hits -my ALL TIME FAVOURITE GROUP Judith Durham is PHENOMENAL!!wonderful harmonies from the whole group-all that X Factor rubbish should learn from these people how to be proper singers

beutiful

Most of the bands you here after many years are a little bit disappointing when they sing live. This performance is the opposite, great, just great. My respect for them.......

Wow....

Very good version of 19 century's old Russian folk song "Iz-za ostrova na strezhen'"- "From behind the island to the stream".

Thanks rich1963 Et Al.🤗

I love Keith playing the 12 string

The intro song to my dad's funeral 😥

Thanks alot,have been waiting for å good version of this to show up.Their last tv performance of The Carnival?It was this song that made me fall in love with Judith and the boys songs all those years ago.

👍👍👍👍👍

💗💗💗💗💗🥰

Great version of this song. I love Judith's voice but I also enjoy hearing the voices of Athol, Bruce, and Kieth singing harmony in this version. I assume the keyboard player is somewhere in the building because I do hear a keyboard in there.

M, our carnival is just begining.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I don't know John Cena, but no that's the gorgeous and very talented Keith Potger.

As I say it could just be me, but if you're interested in a comparison, John Cena is a pro wrestler with the WWE. I thought there was a slight facial resemblance. John probably outweighs Keith by 100 lbs. Either way I still love the Seekers' music.

This reminds me of the russian song "Stenka rasin".

FAULTLESS

Oh that John Cena, he's also been in a few action movies. Yeah he's a big guy, but really they don't look anything like one another. Keith is really very handsome.
