BTW, I totally agree that Judith Durham was fantastic!! (and the Seekers harmonies were great as well!)

Thanks for reviving the memories!

Great video too. Brings back great memories. As a kid of 10 or 11 years old at the time I could only watch these New Musical Express Poll Winners Concerts from Wembley on TV. They are now great musical history records of the time. The poll winners would come on do their hits of the day completely live. The compare usually a radio disc jockey (Jimmy Saville, David Jacobs, Pete Murray or Brian Fordice to name but a few) would announce the next group and those on stage would unplug their guitars from the amps. the next group would then literally walk on and plug into the same equipment (Drums and Piano's were shared too) There would be a quick tune up and sound check and away they went with their hit numbers. All so simple by todays standards but great music making was heard and seen above the screaming din from the fans. Would todays bands but up with that? I have my doubts.

Anyway here's some more clips from those concerts for you and everybody shug.
