- In grateful memory to Gary Brooker (1945-2022)
Procol Harum performing the "REUNION" concert with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and Greenwood Singers at the Jubilee Auditorium 29/30 May 1992
Line up:
Gary Brooker- voc, piano
Don Snow- org
Mark Brzezicki- dr
Geoff Whitehorn- guit
Dave Bronze- bass
David Hoyt - conductor
"Conquistador" originally was released on Procols first album (1967).
The orchestrated version, taken from the "Live with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra" LP (1972) was a hit single in many countries.
The 1992 REUNION concert in Edmonton celebrated the 20th anniversary of Procol's most successful album release.
The band performed Conquistador twice: this is part of the regular second set, the euphoric fourth (!) encore will be a separate upload (highly recommended).
Absolutely fantastic!!! Gary Brooker with a tremendous vocal delivery. The orchestra nailed it. I can't say enough. This song touches me to the core.
For me one of the greatest songs ever written. This performance and the one live in Denmark ( much later) are just sublime.Still remeMber you Mrr Brooker and THANK YOU!!!!!!!
There will never be music anywhere close to as good as this ever again.
Magnificent! They don't make 'em like this anymore and never will. This man had an amazing voice. R.I.P.
What an honour and privilege to have seen this today for the first time
I was there in person. This was incredible. I'd like to see more of this. Cheers! ✌️
Me also. Feb 14,2023. First time seeing this.....Goosebumps....
Love this man, Gary Brooker. I'm still mourning his death.
me too.
I love him too ❤
What a fabulous matching of Gary's voice his band , Edmonton Band .It will never be matched !
This is the song I need to hear tonight. God bless you.
This song came out of nowhere, so unique, one of a kind, but was fully excepted as one of the great tunes of it's time
So true sir . . . . .and beginning of social awareness of how us in North American actually got here
Man, his voice still sounded great! I always thought this was such an evocative song, it’s great to see people still enjoy it.
What a trip that must have been for the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.
A song that stands the test of time. Truly magnificent. Brings back floods of memories.
I was 12 when I first heard this. Love it since. Hauntingly beautiful! RIP Gary Brooker!
We're about the same age. I was 12 yrs old in 1967. I think 1st heard this song maybe December 1967.
Rest In Peace, Gary Brooker!
you can see it on their faces, they knew they nailed it, classic song
What a great performance
The internet does have its good moments to view this is one for me...
Excellent.....✌
Such an epic piece! Always loved it. Just great.
I was working at the Jubilee Auditorium when they performed, and got the lucky straw and was able to stand in the back and watch. The energy was electrifying. An incredible performance.
One of my favorite songs with a story told. That standing ovation was something special. Gary Brooker, Procol Harum and the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra nailed it solid. God Bless.
All the musicians in this video were bang on !! 👍🏻🎵🎶🎸
Да, очень круто!👍
❤
You're very right.
It was my favorite group from the late 60's and beginning 70's.
I had all their records and have seen two times a concert of them.
Ofcourse they were not as famous as some other British groups, but real fans could appreciate them.
With "A whiter shade of pale" they made one of the best songs ever recordered and it will have good memories to many people and is my "all time" favorite song.
May they both rest in peace, Mr. Gary Brooker and Mr. Keith Reid and let us be thankful for all the beautiful songs they made for us.
Excellent Brooker and Whitehorn.Good,old days of true rock music.
I love this song brings me back to the early 70's
I Heard this fantastic jewel for the first time in 1972, I was 15
Thank you so much for uploading this. He sounded magnificent even as he aged older. I miss him.

These CLASSICAL BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECES OF MUSIC Our parents thought ROCK WAS DISGUSTING in those Days but look today as MUSIC HAS TRULY DIED CHILDREN AND YOUNG KIDS OF TODAY HAVE NO NO IMAGINATION THEY LIVE THEIR WORLD ON A DUMMY BOX ( THE COMPUTER ) as these people thought up these LYRICS ALL ON THEIR OWN!! What we have lost can NEVER TRULY BE REGAINED OR REPLACED! I GREW IN A WONDERFUL TIME OF THE ARTS IT WAS TRULY THE END OF THE OLD WORLD!!
A fabulous song by Procol Harum. A full orchestra! Just great! The guitar sole in the middle of that orchestration was amazing!
Sometimes a classic is born out of an original - I grew up on this version and didn’t even know until 3 years ago there was an original without the orchestra.
The orchestra adds so much to this and turned the song into an instant classic hit. I don’t know who scored it, but they NAILED it.
Yes I agree the orchestra added a lot to the song. RIP Gary.
The upbeat tempo of the orchestra and the horns really made a huge improvement to this song from the original slow, quiet version. The Spanish-sounding horns really blow this song away.
Never gets old. Thanks to all. Great job. We miss you Gary.
Gary booker is a king of rock and roll.
A stellar performance.
My favorite by you guys, but of course there were many 💕💕 RIP Gary!
Never get tired of hearing this song, since the day it first hit the radio to now
The lead trumpet player is great.
Watched as a kid on PBS. So F'n powerful. Trower ripped into his solo with rage and purpose. Blew my young mind, and still does 60 years later.
Would have LOVED to have been there for the original recording so many years ago. Saw P.C. about 15 years ago at Ontario place. Not the same without an orchastra, but still damn good. But, this is the next best thing to being there.
I'm 60 now and this Tune. Now a Classic still captivates me. One of my all time favorites
Ditto!
I was at this concert. Both nights. It was awesome! Thanks for sharing this. Amazing that you have this performance. May Gary Brooker rest in peace. Cheers! ✌️
Stay tuned! There will be more…
Me too. It was great 😊 😊. Second balcony first row near the middle.
@@libnomore1522 Me, it was first balcony, centre, for the first night. For the second night, I was on the main floor on the right side, and I still had a decent view of the stage. Great concert.
When and where was concert?
@@mikegike7273 Read the description information. It's there.
History a. Maze to unwind
The Live version is so much full than the studio version, for sure... I always wanted to hear the studio version, and just did.. It is not like this.... Thank you, Procol Harum -Beyond All Things- for this beautiful music---ALL of IT !!!!
astounding
I never get tired of the Classic. We had some great music back in the late 60s and 70s. We miss you Gary.
Wow! What can be said? Masterfully written and performed by one and all.
Absolutely amazing!
Now that's what is called jammin'. Thanks for posting, I always wanted to see the orchestra behind the song.
So good.
BEBÊ LINDO! MARAVILHA DE MELODIA E VOZ. 🌹🌹🇧🇷🔰💚💛💙🤍👄👄
I love this. I've been a fan since the beginning. RIP Gary Brooker.
Absolutely breathing taking

Speechless...
Wow. Beautiful.
BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL!!!
R.I.P ONVERGETELIJK JAAR 2O22 ❤🇳🇱🙏
I remember to this day seeing this song on Top of the Pop's and being a schoolboy being mesmerized..... Gary Brooker an the whole band were magnificent. It's funny how some songs take you back to a place and people who are no longer there.....my god I miss them all..!!!!!!
Great Music !
I was there... brilliant band, fantastic musicians... these guy's like Queen ( who I also saw live many time's )knocked it out the park .It was a privilege to sit and watch and listen to these maestro's perform a complete privilege a bit like being invited into their lives and the actual recording studio... never... never will we see their likes again.... pure gods of rock n roll... thank you for your songs... I miss you more every year.
cette musique écrite par GARY, fantastique !!
WHAAAT? 😮 I did not know Gary had passed away. If it wasn't for UA-cam I wouldn;t know hardly ANY news anymore because regular news always talks about the same worn-out people that the USA never looks beyond. A very great singing voice had Gary.😔
Haven't seen this video yet. Simply outstanding.
Thank you for sharing gems with us! 🤘
Epic! Thanks for sharing this.
Mamma mia ….bestial …genial.
