Live at the Talk of the Town is the first live album by the Australian group The Seekers. The album was released in July 1968.
Reception
Bruce Eder from AllMusic wrote, "Live at the Talk of the Town is an extraordinary album, as well as the group's final effort together as a continuing organisation, recorded during an engagement at the renowned London restaurant/theater just a week before the quartet was dissolved. It features the group in uncommonly loose-limbed form, having lots of fun with the audience, quite obviously enjoying the performance they're giving, and throwing themselves into it head first; after four years of whirlwind international success, perhaps they knew it would be their last hurrah and their only live recording." adding "[it] is still extremely rewarding almost 40 years later".[1]
