    Gary Brooker's voice, 3-plus decades after this great song was first released, is as strong as, and has more depth and resonance than, the voice he had as a young man. This more mature voice, combined with the highly talented band, the fantastic orchestra, the awesome choir, and this unique setting, make this one of those rare and most memorable experiences of our lifetime! Truly incredible!!

    Whiter Shade of Pale was voted the best song in the past 50 years in England over all Beatles and Stones. John Lennon said he wished he had wrote this song. Procol Harum was the first rock group followed by the Moddy Blues to incorporate orchestras in their music. Robin Trower gained a reputation as a great guitarist even without his guitar being upfront in their music.

    This was a smash hit and is still loved and this is the best version ever. The Miller's Tale was written by Geoffrey Chaucer in the 14th century. It is a tale of lust and debauchery and betrayal. The lady in this song turns a whiter shade of pale because I presume, she has not been faithful and the man who thinks his eyes were wide open didn't see any of it so his eyes might as well have been closed. The woman says there is no reason. The man can not let it be. But, you don't have to be an English major and know how to read Middle English to love this song. It just adds another layer. Gary, rest in peace. What a talent!!! Thank you!!!!

    Hey folks, greetings from the UK 🇬🇧 Love seeing you react to this. Lead singer Gary Brooker formed this group in 1967 having had a brief carreer with another group he formed in 1962 called The Paramounts. By 1967 he’d been focussed on songwriting but was struggling to find artists to record his material so subsequently formed Procol Harum. This song was the first release from their FIRST ALBUM. It chopped the charts in numerous countries worldwide including their native UK 🇬🇧 and is one of the most commercially successful singled in history having sold 10 Million+ copies!! It was an anthem during 1967’s so called Summer Of Love.
    To date there are over 1,000 covers recorded by other artists!!
    Sadly, Gary passed away in February 2022 😢
    Incredible live performance this is though 😊 Much love t’yall from the UK 🇬🇧🇺🇸

    At the 8:04 mark you just finished saying that his voice could not be the same from 1967. I suggest you go find an original recording from that year. I knew that voice in 1967 from way too many hours under headphones listening to this song, to not hear the same voice from this recording in 2007. Sad at his passing, but loved his Style. And I find hope that someone as young as you seem to be, can find the "Old School" groove we all grew up with. As a point in time, Woodstock (you know about that, right?) happened 9 weeks after I graduated from High School. Peace and Love. Ringo taught all of us that line.

    "Epic" I think is the word you're searching for. If you like the fusion between Rock and Orchestral then check out Electric Light Orchestra, they're Epic on steroids.

    May I suggest an outdoor concert of epic grandeur; Celine Dion and Ginette Reno "Un peu plus haut" (A little higher)
