Such a crime that this influential progressive group has been totally ignored by the R&R Hall Of Fame. Now that Gary Brooker is gone, it's too late for amends. One of the greatest rock bands ever.
EFF the stupid R&R Hall of Fame. Eff all the awards ceremonies where all the beautiful people gather. EFF all of them. Knowing how great Procol Harum is is enough for me. EFF everything else
I am probably the only 81-year-old Procol Harum fan who never smoked dope. (I was involved with developing a technology that is still used in every jet engine still flying in 2021. Drug testing was used even then.) But I was still was able to get "high" on their unbelievable musical talents.
R.I.P. Keith Reid who died so recently and of course R.I.P. Gary Brooker, who followed years later after the very beloved percussionist B.J.Wilson. I have been in mourning for Keith, but so appreciate all the lyrics that became Procol songs. My favourite rock band since I was about 12. Got to see them at 15 in the Mothers Club, Erdington, Birmingham. I went alone, lucky for me it was a friendly club and I didn’t try to buy booze. I sat at the front just amazed I was there. Brilliant band.
hoy, a mis 69 años, me emociono escuchando a uno de los más grandes grupos que nos dio el rock. un enorme talento, altísimo nivel musical e injustamente relegados. Ellos y The Moody Blues fueron el origen del rock sinfónico de los 70.
Procol Harum,fate parte della mia vita,per sempre nel mio cuore. Che bei ricordi. Indietro non si torna ma i ricordi non si cancellano, Dio vi benedica.
Maybe one day people might know how truly great this band was, but some bands don't reach the masses because the sheep people do not possess the originality gean
Piękna muzyka i super wykonanie. Byłem na koncercie Procol Harum w Sopocie w Operze Leśnej w Lipcu 2000 roku i ciągle nie mogę się nasłuchać ich muzyki, z Garym Brookerem spotkaliśmy się.przy piwie gdańskim przed koncertem. Bardzo fajny gość.
Años enteros de mi vida buscando este tema, no sabía que era de los magníficos Procol Harum. - I'd been looking for this theme for many years, I hadn't known it was performed by the magnificent Procol Harum guys!!!.... I'm so happy!!!!
I've been looking for this "French single" for years! Merci, merci, merci bien for posting. Once again, I agree completely with estivator; this posting is truly award-winning. Bless you.
Estaba yo de 10 años en esa fecha y obvio no pude ir , ¿podrias tu darme alguna informacion sobre ese concierto ?? o donde se puede obtener informacion ? , yo empeze a ir a conciertos hasta 1979 aqui en ciudad de Mexico , me tocó ver a WAR , CANNED HEAT , BLACK OAK ARKANSAS , JOHN MAYALL , JOHNY WINTER
As many others have said, I never heard this before.....and loved PH since 7th grade, when I first heard Whiter shade of pale. Loved Albinoni's version also. No drumming on that one though. But it all works.
I am an aged Procol Harum fan, and this is an excellent version,but Brian Auger and the Trinity, with Julie driscol were at a pop concert in the late sixties early seventies,(can't remember which one) and Brian Auger played this live, and I will never forget its intensity, I have searched for a long time to try and find this live performance (not the album version) but to no avail, if anyone has a copy, please put it up onUA-cam, it is fantastic. Nedsmith
I'm pretty sure this was made during rehearsals with Edmonton SO with Chris Copping on the Hammond and Dave Ball on guitar. Dave split with PH under acrimonious circumstances, and they used photos of Mick, as on the LP credits *but it's Dave's image on the front cover. Apparently Chris was working this up with the lads in the orchestra and the band decided to try it on for size and record it! Hopefully someone can chime in and add some facts to this. I am not 100% certain, but surely its wonderful.
Hi. You are partly right in that Chris Copping played this by himself at the start of the Edmonton Concert and it was recorded . In his words, he was exceptionally nervous and wasn't perfect but the orchestra was apparently way out (I think he blamed the conductor). You can read about it on the amazing beyondthepale website for the band.
Yeah, I stumbled across it many years ago using the original Napster file sharing service. Don't know where it comes from, not on any album I've seen. Might be a studio outtake. See if you can find their version of Blue Danube.
Me too! Born in 1954, I knew and loved them since their beginnings. Still today I Iove them. Their newest work called "Novum" is again very asthonishing. And this one? Great! I also did not know, that it exists. Fantastic!
Excellent - saw them play this and The Blue Danube at the Colston Hall in Bristol. As always, they leave much of the opposition still struggling up the last hill.....
I was one of the stage-crew for that Colston Hall gig. I did both the load-in and the get-out, and watched the PH play from just beside the FOH audio mix position. Fabulous show :-)
wonderful rendition...worthy of praise....not TOO over the top (imagine if Emerson Lake and Palmer got ahold of this...yikes..) Now if this WERE ONLY written by Thomas Albinoni...but it's not. "The Adagio in G minor for violin, strings, and organ continuo is a neo-Baroque composition popularly attributed to the 18th-century Venetian master Tomaso Albinoni, but actually composed by 20th-century musicologist and Albinoni biographer Remo Giazotto..." -Wikipedia. But who cares? nice piece here...
Keys an notes are in my opinion as original Albioni. But in modern harder instruments. This is composed for orhcestra violin/ or church-organ/violin. All of tunes seems shortright. Remarkable of Procol Harum!! What a fu... genious band!
I know he was a Venetian composer, but he did not write this adagio. "The Adagio in G minor for violin, strings, and organ continuo is a neo-Baroque composition popularly attributed to the 18th-century Venetian master Tomaso Albinoni, but actually composed by 20th-century musicologist and Albinoni biographer Remo Giazotto, purportedly based on the discovery of a manuscript fragment by Albinoni. There is a continuing scholarly debate about whether the alleged fragment was real, or a musical hoax perpetrated by Giazotto, but there is no doubt about Giazotto's authorship of the remainder of the work."
I was about to say something, but you about covered it. Thanks!I wish there was a little more info about this though, seems like maybe he just lost his woman to an extra-terrestrial sex worm, then his cat had died, and someone shot his dog....then his house burnt down, and he said...well, I think I have a piece to compose! The passion in this composition is so extraordinary!
Brooker si..ispirava alla musica dei....grandi e si sente...un gruppo troppo..avanti per molti rocchettari di ieri e di oggi...evviva i PH e il loro..mentore Brooker...

I agree. It was a formidable band with one incomparable sonority, between classic musIc and rock.
with you
again just FUck the R&R Hall of Fame. They're eejits
Procol was on such a high level that Hall of Fame stuff was nonsense to them!
I am probably the only 81-year-old Procol Harum fan who never smoked dope. (I was involved with developing a technology that is still used in every jet engine still flying in 2021. Drug testing was used even then.) But I was still was able to get "high" on their unbelievable musical talents.
I don't smoke because I listen to PH, it's more the other way around..
keep on listening. ALL the BEST to You
it’s never too late to buy some edibles and see what all the fuss was about...
Thank You, dear friend!
Larry Sink, me too (60 years). No DRUGS, but would be missing this kind of BEAUTY OF MUSIC without drugs. So happy, that they did it.
R.I.P. Keith Reid who died so recently and of course R.I.P. Gary Brooker, who followed years later after the very beloved percussionist B.J.Wilson.

Awesome Procol Harum. I love their music and still listen to it . They deserved more recognition for their masterful performances. ❤❤❤
Unici. Non ci sono parole. ❤
Pure courage to play this as Rock band. Beautiful.
And to include the C-major prelude from Bach's _Well-Tempered Clavier Book 1_ in "Repent Walpurgis_ was genius.
Procol Harum!!!Fathers of Art Rock Forever!
hoy, a mis 69 años, me emociono escuchando a uno de los más grandes grupos que nos dio el rock. un enorme talento, altísimo nivel musical e injustamente relegados. Ellos y The Moody Blues fueron el origen del rock sinfónico de los 70.
Si Señor, tienes toda la razon, y me mociono al recordar cuando los vi en Mexico, (Auditorio Nacional). Thanks for the memories.
Gracias!
What a great band this was !
Procol Harum,fate parte della mia vita,per sempre nel mio cuore. Che bei ricordi. Indietro non si torna ma i ricordi non si cancellano, Dio vi benedica.
Fanno sicuramente parte dei ricordi di tutti quelli che guardavano Avventura alla tv dei ragazzi....fino alla sigla finale...
Bellissimo l'Adagio di Albinoni.Mitici i procolHarum
Un des meilleurs groupes de tous les temps!
Maybe one day people might know how truly great this band was, but some bands don't reach the masses because the sheep people do not possess the originality gean
It would be hard to possess the originality "gean". Most people have simple genes.
@@miyiazakimou my genes have rips at the knees!
@@SirCamsmorethanalot The arse has long ago fallen out of mine!!!
those who know great music will have to fight to keep the memory of this band alive. There are too many eejits alive now who are truly clueless
Last foreever as the basic new musik newsound as new classic with newse
SWEET MUSIC... amazing sound Classic Progressive FOREVER!!!

One of my favorite band and music to life with me
Años enteros de mi vida buscando este tema, no sabía que era de los magníficos Procol Harum. - I'd been looking for this theme for many years, I hadn't known it was performed by the magnificent Procol Harum guys!!!.... I'm so happy!!!!
The one and only band that was apart from all other rock bands
Beautiful! These Guys Know Their 🎶. Thank You. God Bless.
Thank you for the wonderful music you gave to us. It never dies!
I've been looking for this "French single" for years! Merci, merci, merci bien for posting. Once again, I agree completely with estivator; this posting is truly award-winning. Bless you.
I have this single in my Procol collection...with Gary Brookers signature.
You must be blessed. Congratulation.
the river of ater is in my shoes
Esta melodia la tocaron cuando vinieron a México en el Auditorio Nacional.1975.
Estaba yo de 10 años en esa fecha y obvio no pude ir , ¿podrias tu darme alguna informacion sobre ese concierto ?? o donde se puede obtener informacion ? , yo empeze a ir a conciertos hasta 1979 aqui en ciudad de Mexico , me tocó ver a WAR , CANNED HEAT , BLACK OAK ARKANSAS , JOHN MAYALL , JOHNY WINTER
Fan since I was 8 years old and never heard this. Amazing. Love PH
The Doors and a Dutch band called Ekseption played this piece of Albinoni.
ce groupe des 60' reste un des meilleurs pour sa musicalité...il ne reste que Gary Brooker et Matthew Fisher ...qui donnent encore des concerts!
Maintenant Gary Brooker aussi n'est plus là depuis 2022, sauf par sa musique.
Amazing! And BJ Wilson the master of playing 3/4 time on drums.
This and it's flip side were performed by the version of the band pictured,@the time of "Exotic Birds And Fruit" and the "Ninth" album..
As many others have said, I never heard this before.....and loved PH since 7th grade, when I first heard Whiter shade of pale. Loved Albinoni's version also. No drumming on that one though. But it all works.
PROCOL HARUM É MARAVILHOSO DE QUALQUER JEITO.,ADORO O SOM DELES
На века музыка!!!! Best......super, foreva
You deserve some sort of prize for posting this. Just stunning work by my favorite band.
So true. This rendition sends chills down my spine.
I am an aged Procol Harum fan, and this is an excellent version,but Brian Auger and the Trinity, with Julie driscol were at a pop concert in the late sixties early seventies,(can't remember which one) and Brian Auger played this live, and I will never forget its intensity, I have searched for a long time to try and find this live performance (not the album version) but to no avail, if anyone has a copy, please put it up onUA-cam, it is fantastic.

Ohh, heard this one in Copenhagen in the 70'es, all of them committed musicians, so beautiful - I have searched for it ever since, thank you Nicvac:-)
Ned, so have I - with neg response in the PH fb-group, but perhaps at Beyond the Pale?
Chills? Yes!
Listen how the band is carefully transforming this classical piece of music in their way of making music...
Just picked up on this track, absolutely stunning
I love that Keith Reid is peeking out of the middle of the photo!
He was just another one of the guys :)
One of the Most fantastisk croup who came Out of the sixties

Procol Harum, onnavolgbaar mooi!!. Wat is dit bijzondere muziek en heerlijk om naar te luisteren.
Prog & classical, I like music with intensity, I had forgot that Procol Harum did this
Simply brilliant!
Procol fan since 67 and i did not know of this. THANKS !
very rare
Yeah, I stumbled across it many years ago using the original Napster file sharing service. Don't know where it comes from, not on any album I've seen. Might be a studio outtake. See if you can find their version of Blue Danube.
Neither did I...

fan since 1970, same
Bellissima come " fortuna ". BRAVISSIMI !!!!!!!
Powerful and respectful version. Imagine if Reid had been tempted to set lyrics to it. We might have had another wsop.
Gary Brooker vient de nous quitter et j'en ai beaucoup de peine. Sûrement le meilleur de tous.

But who cares? nice piece here...
Likely the best and most moving version of this that I've heard except Doors.
Here is a Swedish very somber version by Monica Zetterlund and Monica Dominique. ua-cam.com/video/omZa1Nhfojw/v-deo.html

Acho que sempre soube que a minha essência é algo como o que experimento nesta música...
Bello.
Great Banda músicos atrevidos Grand hotel was Grand Album.
Thank you!
Albinoni would be pleased. Then Albinoni would probably have liked Repent Walpurgis too.
Cynthia Savage Albinoni would like all their songs
Albinoni did not write this song, Remo Giazotto did.
I know he was a Venetian composer, but he did not write this adagio.
"The Adagio in G minor for violin, strings, and organ continuo is a neo-Baroque composition popularly attributed to the 18th-century Venetian master Tomaso Albinoni, but actually composed by 20th-century musicologist and Albinoni biographer Remo Giazotto, purportedly based on the discovery of a manuscript fragment by Albinoni.

The passion in this composition is so extraordinary!
Gary Moore and Don Airey also covered this. Although in a more straight 4/4 manner.
It's not Albinoni, it was composed by Italian musicologist Remo Giazotto after WWII.
R. I. P. Gary Brooker 🙏🏻🕯️
When did this EP come out for sale? Great daring thing to do for a rockband! I love it...
ali asreco,
this was released as a single in france in 1976(chrysalis records,dark green label).
grandissima esecuzione
Piękna muzyka młodości
Wow 😮.
Amazing!!!!
It was composed by Remo Giazotto. Purportedky based on Tomaso Albinonis fragments. We don't know.

Bueno, ou bueno..🤗
