57 years ago (I was little more than a child) I bought the single of this incredible song, obviously without realizing that it would become a fundamental milestone in the story of popular music. Without my stern father finding out I put the small record on and … tears of emotion. And even today it’s the same. RIP Gary and Keith, you’ve been the soundtrack of my life
You are indeed a very smart man to foresee the future of this song. It has been imbedded into millions of like minded people as an anthem for a very long lifetime of love and happiness of times past.
EVER, EVER....We were two young people listening to this music in loop. My "first love " for few months in Galveston, Texas. i found her 50 years later, embeleavable ....waiting her aircraft at the Paris's airport 20 yards away front me... .it was my most beautiful day and the most intense moment of my life, Ever ever .....she left without talking to me but but send me a hidden kiss so warm and forgot her scarf hooked front of me. I ran as far as i can to grab it . i breathed it ! Everything came on me. It was the same fragance when i met her.... i will give a lot to get her back just for one hour with her..... but i knew i will die soon. ! Thank you to this woman who made me a man and lover. ByBy, your French lover for Ever, Ever.
Good to see Matthew Fisher finally got a songwriting credit for this song. Better late than never! And it’s good to see both he and Robin Trower came back and recorded with Procol Harum in the later years. Nice that everyone remained friends .
I've got the DVD of the whole concert at the Union Chapel. Well worth getting if you're a Procol fan. A great performance in an atmospheric building that compliments the music.
Love to hear that second verse, and I love Gary's voice. And I get it. The guys on the guitars have played this song a millions times before, so for whatever reason they felt 'comfortable' in speaking so causally to one another on stage. But. But unfortunately it was to me...to me, very distracting, discourteous and disrespectful both - no, more so for one: to the audience (who didn't come to be distracted by this - if I were in attendance there it certainly would have been); and to Gary (who appears to be taking the song and performance seriously - and although he might not at all have seen it that way as I do...yet I think he would nevertheless understand and respect my point here as well), and I see it as disrespectful to the organist. If it were a bouncy 'happy go lucky' pop song perhaps it would fit in better - or appear to be less distracting and disrespectful. But, this song is not type of song, and there is a mood, there is a memory, there is a serious nature of this beautiful song that for me, leaves no room to be up there on stage merely playing your instruments. No, I mean no condemnation to these two men. But yes from my perspective (and it is merely mine), I have no issue or regret putting forth my reproving of them in this instance. Otherwise. If I had, had my eyes closed during this performance (something like Gary and Matthew Fisher had done to some extent), I would have been more than delighted with it. The best version I have heard of this song is of course the original back in 1967; but then equally so (if not a bit more so) is the version of the song from Procol Harum, in the Denmark 2006 Live concert with Gary knocking it out of the park.
It was a long day. Gary got his MBE and the lads were probably wondering when we were going for our curry together. The best of the show was the first half - Quite Rightly So and Weisselklenzenacht were outstanding. But I agree that the Ledreborg AWSOP was marvellous - imagine Gary singing that 10m selling song at least as well as his original studio performance back in the Spring of 1967. That orchestral version should be released as a tribute to Gary - it would also sell well and show the world what a genius he was.
