Procol harum, a band that had their own sound. They could do it all with consistently. So many classic albums from beginning to end, the mark of a great band.
i just saw them july 15 2014 birchmere in va. geoff whitehrn was palying guitar any way i couldn`t believe how good gary brookers voice still is- i sat at a table with some good port wine and cried and was in heaven since this is my favorite band still!
How many of you geezers remember The Paramounts? They had a hit single with Poison Ivy. It was Brooker, Trower, Copping and Wilsons first band back in 1964.
The only rock people I had heard of in 1964 were Elvis Presley and the Beatles. I subsequently read that the Paramounts were the forerunners of Procol Harum, but I had the idea that the Paramounts’s modest success was limited to England. Was that not the case?
Searched long and hard for this song, but couldn't remember the name, only the melody of the lead guitarist. How do you ask a person who plays this song by trying to imitate the guitar solo at the beginning? I got a very puzzled look from my husband, but hey, they were a group before his time. He's 5 years younger than me and I'm 70. Ha!......So, I asked Jesus if He could help me find it, and within 5 minutes, there it was. (Matthew 7:7). Ask, seek, and you will find. Amen! Anyway....loved that lead guitar intro!... Best music 🎶 and time period ever! ♡
Excellent...! And addressing the comments made by some, guitarist Geoff Whitehorn is alive, well, and still playing, having also served as the longest running guitarist with Procol Harum. Been a fan since '67; Procol Harum, Shine on Brightly, Salty Dog, etc.,
Don Bastian a, These guys sure know how to rock. Gary has a better voice than when he was young. Geoff is excellent. Matthew Fisher is there as well. I love these guys. ❤️
I saw Procol Harum in 1974 at the Fox Theater. Golden Earring, who at the time had a hit called “Radar Love” opened the show, and it was clear that most of the audience had come to see this opening group, which I found annoying. To express my displeasure (only for my own benefit, alas), I even retreated to the lobby for a short while during Golden Earring’s set. Golden Earring’s drummer played a flamboyant solo which he concluded by jumping over his drumset- or at least that’s the way I remember it, but because that now seems to me virtually impossible, I’m suspicious of that memory. In any case, B. J. Wilson’s drum solo was much more musical and nuanced, and involved transitioning between meters. B. J. Wilson was always one of my very favorite rock drummers. I love how he interpolates shuffle sixteenths into the interstices of “A Salty Dog”.
+Sergio Kodemo No Trower, alas. Geoff Whitehorn has served Harum as guitarist since '91. They/re all rather long in the tooth now: Trower's 71, Brooker's 70, and Whitehorn's the youngster at 64. Amazing how time flies.
Robert Wright Yes, Mr.Whitehorn does an excellent job in his own style and not just trying to imitate Robin. Yep, time flies; I was a teen when I first listened to the band. Now I'm 63 and we both had to witness so many great musicians who have passed away.
Nossa. Meu coração está muito entristecido com essa notícia. Essa voz marcou minha vida. R.I.P. (19.02.2022) Gary Brooker. I Love You. I Love Procol Harum. Forever😭😭😭
Love procol harum, have most all their albums, sadly they will probably be ignored when new nominations are canadates for the rock hall. This is a joke!
sorry this is just lacking.. well DUH... a makeshift band that is just going through the motions... blah. Love you Gary you were the best and I miss you RIP
Cool to see, and Procol's one of my favorite bands. I've never cared for this song though. So dreary and lethargic. Repeats the same damn chord progression too much.

I was at this amazing gig thankfully. Love love loved this beautiful band ❤
Уникальная песня на все времена.А какой кайф слушать эту красоту в таком исполнении...Браво!!!
This is hard rock just as it should be.
I always watch my language when I post, but this is a 'ball crusher.'
Nice to see Matthew Fisher so animated, and enjoying himself.

I saw Procal Harem in the early 70s and they still sound as good... When you go it you got it.
spell their name right ya F

Great video! I'm surprised there aren't more ratings for it.

Don Bastian Likewise Don. All of those are such epics. I always considered them one of the most overlooked and underrated of all rock bands.
Don Bastian a, These guys sure know how to rock. Gary has a better voice than when he was young. Geoff is excellent. Matthew Fisher is there as well. I love these guys. ❤️
Right on! 🎶 ❤️
Great song! Great power!
ゲイリー･ブルッカーの再度、ファンになってから、プロコル･ハルムを狂ったように聴きまくっています❗この前来日したキングクリムゾンをさておいて……私には時間がない。なぜP.H.を聴かなかった事を後悔しています。K.C.は、聴く暇が、ありません。
What a band! Great post thank you.
True, this is Geoff Whitehorn, but I did not know he is no longer with us. So sad. Great guitarrist. He sure had fun playing this song!
Geoff is ALIVE & WELL and 71 years old...
So glad to hear that! Plus that he is still playing with Procol Harum! I just have to see them live soon, hopefully!
RIP Gary, the band was not the same since Trower left but you were the best
I swear to God that guitar player has all the cliché facial expressions down and I am so sick of them all
They played this in Snoqualmie last month Just rocked the house!
my favourite
Danke nochmal fürs Senden ❤❤❤❤❤❤Danke
I like the shout out to "Cool Jerk." Geoff Whitehorn does a real nice job here-and he is still alive and well. BJ Wilson, unfortunately not.

C.H.O.M f.m in Montreal wore their original copy out ! Thanks.
Going to see them in October, hope they play this song! So excited!
Did they??? If so....awesome!
@MrStigAndersen I read the reviews. Must have been a fabulous show in Copenhagen. Wish there was a video of that posted somewhere.'
Kent
Неимоверная песня!
Next to "Whiskey Train" this is Harum's best rocker.
Very cool, Guy
shout to AL the organ player were with him in Taylor mich later early 90s
Sadly no BJ Wilson nor Robin Trower, but this song still sounds great!

Robin was long gone when this song came out.
@@markperegoy2008 Robin Trower played guitar on this track; he left right after the album was released
Fantastic!
Awesome thx
ゲイリーブルッカーは当然ですが、ホワイトホーンのギターは迫力満点です❗
Nossa. Meu coração está muito entristecido com essa notícia. Essa voz marcou minha vida. R.I.P. (19.02.2022) Gary Brooker. I Love You. I Love Procol Harum. Forever😭😭😭
Geoff is alive and well!!!
Who remembers this song from Washington Hall @ OU?
Hey, Whitehorn made a very good job, mostly inspired by the creator, Robin Trower.
Same energy as the original.
Love procol harum, have most all their albums, sadly they will probably be ignored when new nominations are canadates for the rock hall. This is a joke!
Grüße aus. NORDHAUSEN ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂❤
Is it on, Tommy?
Hey dont forget Mr. Robin Trower
ça c'est le morceau qui tabasse le plus de Procol Harom
Whats the song about?
+DesertDigger1 Jenny McCarthy
.. most of their lyrics are Twisted
Have you every really listened to the words in this song? It's quite disturbing.
Not the same without BJ.
