 The Seekers : Live at the Talk of the Town - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Athol Guy delights the audience with his account of their roots, and the group runs through their early sound, re-creating themselves as they were circa 1962-1963, even emulating their early Dixieland jazz sound.
Woodley, Guy, and Potger even show off their extraordinary singing on "Rattler," a number that's nearly worth the price of the record by itself.
A true obscurity, Live at the Talk of the Town seems to have been more common in America as a stamped promo copy than as a commercial release, but it apparently did well across the rest of the world, and is still extremely rewarding almost 40 years later.

 I was nearly arrested trying to get to a Seekers concert
So being a bit of a "young folkie" I was slightly apprehensive going to their concerts: would we see and hear the original format or would it be similar to the 1968 farewell concerts (which used orchestras as backing bands).
Athol Guy plays bass, Judith occasionally still belts out a now hardly dangerous tambourine (but sadly not the piano), while Keith Potger plays 6and12-string guitars and a banjo and Bruce Woodley plays a number of 6-string guitars and a mandolin.
