Some people say that I have horrible taste for music because I listen to Procol Harum, The Alan Parsons Project and Barclay James Harvest... And I must answer: I am so happy that I have such a "horrible" taste for music which permits me to understand the greatness of these 3 groups!!
Those who say that condemn themselves to musical banality...no worries mate - you got it right! (12 years later comment! I'm sure by now they've become enlightened)
That’s why it is so important to NOT listen to what other people say. I too love all the bands you mentioned. To me they are part of the modern classical composers who’s music will be listened to many years from now like your Bachs and Beethoven.
I am a life long, full time performing and touring singer and guitarist. My life is music and has been for over 40 years. My top 5 list of favorite albums of all time, which are all from the late 60s, does not include a studio album by Procol Harem, even though they are one of my favorite bands. That being said, and this may be surprising, this *exact* performance from Beat Club 1971 of A Salty Dog, and especially this *exact* performance of Repent Walpurgis from this same broadcast, is literally in my Will to be played at my funeral. This version of Repent Walpurgis from this very broadcast is absolutely my favorite, and most personally moving and endearing pop music moment of all time. I've always loved both songs, and bands that I have been in over the decades have performed both songs often, but for some reason, this particular version of Repent Walpurgis, especially when Brooker goes into the Bach "Air on a G String" part in the middle of the song, has always brought me to tears. Every time. It just did again. Treasure this very particular moment in this wonderful band's history. Treasure Gary's incredible, unique voice. Treasure B.J. Wilson, the drummer that turned down Jimmy Page to join Led Zeppelin, the drummer that created the greatest, yet most simple drum riff intro to a rock song on the studio version of Joe Cocker's "With A Little Help From My Friends". Treasure Matthew Fisher's utterly genre defining tone, touch and melodicism on the B3. Even Keith Emerson tips his hat to Matthew. Fisher Was First. Even before The Nice. And perhaps allow yourself some time to read their story in an excellent biography of the band by Henry Scott-Irvine that I came across a few years ago, called The Ghosts Of A Whiter Shade of Pale. I couldn't put it down and read the entire book in a day and a half. Sorry for the long post. I've been wanting to put those sentiments about this performance into words for years. Shine On Brightly.
Great tribute to Bach. Procol's members were probably the first to realize that Bach was composing rock music before it existed. What a great and timeless group.
RIP Gary - I am in Stuttgart tonight where Procol Harum were booked to play - my wife and I came anyway - Procol Harum have been and will continue to be a massive part of my life
Damn, Didn't known this til I saw your comment. Thanks Gary and Procol, for filling my life with GREAT progrock and introducing me in their way to classical music.
@@annblacker6401 I was able to exchange greetings with Gary after a great show back in the 70s. it still makes me happy to this day. They will always remain my favorite band. They were one of a kind.
I stood next to Gary and his ampliflied piano in 1968 at Chicago's famous Aragon Ballroom. In that era many bands played small venues compared to later decades. One of the best nights of my life.
I remember seeing Genesis at the Aragon Ballroom in 1972, third on the bill to Styx and REO Speedwagon. Saw lots of great bands in that venue (general admission too): Queen, Sparks, Roxy…

My very first real girlfriend, and probably my only real one (the woman that is half a year older than I), listened to this - I was still 9, she was already 10, and then I lost her; my best friend, my soulmate, my wife... and I miss her - after over 50 years, I miss you every day, dear sweet patient real Angel...
I know this was posted 14 years ago. I just found it. One of my all-time favorite songs. I was in a rock band as an organist and insisted we have this on our playlist. I loved playing this song and just riffing in the middle of it. Such great memories.
Procol Harum. So much more than just the genius Whiter Shade of pale ,,,, so so many astounding tracks ,,, thank you for giving so much to all true music lovers ,,,, my fave just ,,,, A Salty Dog ,,,, but wow utterly spellbinding,,, G
Bj called me from california in 1972.I met the band inat Mannies in new york and gave BJ a letter I wrote previously for him.I thought it was a joke when my dad said a BJ wilson was on the phone.sHe was so sincere to thank me for the letter.And said Procul Harum made him what he was.Really missed....
Manchmal findet man einfach keine Worte mehr, um das zu beschreiben, was man tief in sich fühlt - es ist einfach das, was es ist - tief empfundene universale Liebe, die alles heilt und alles vereint. Diese Musik bringt mich dahin, wo ich es fühlen kann... Danke!
On a reunion tour in the 90's, in NYC, Gary Brooker said they had time for just one more song and asked the audience if they wanted Repent Walpurgis or A Whiter Shade Of Pale? The audience screamed for Repent and they played it. Then Gary said the promoter told him "you guys are great - play one more and I'll pay the union all the overtime" so they did A Whiter Shade. What a night.
I'd hurd this composition for the first time at a french TV show "Les enfants du rock", 44 years ago. On my opinion, it was the most beautiful of Procol Harum.
I still have my original first pressing of their debut album. The Beatles are reported to have played it many times while doing promo work in a southern England forest. It and the follow-up A Salty Dog are masterpieces. The band was never the same after Trower left. 1967 was a great year for music.
I used to hate "Conquistador", it was played about every 20 minutes on 'popular' radio in the 70's. . But I can finally listen to it with appreciation. I avoided hearing "Whiter Shade" so as not to have it ruined for me I would nominate Procol Harum as one of the greatest bands of the greatest era music has ever known.
Love it.played it at school of music from Bach s prélude.gréât hammond sound from Chris Copping..BJ hit hardly his drums .stunnîng. Gary is on a 1/2 grand Pleyel like mine thé sound with mics are at right places to gave such sound prêtty difficult .I never succeeded on my own one.great rendition..
What makes this band's sound truly unique is that the main "axis of power" lies often between the keyboards and drums. In many songs Brooker's piano and BJ Wilson's drumming seem to be in conversation, with Brooker first making a serious statement and Wilson trying to argue against it with all his might. Still, they are talking about the same thing throughout...
Dave Ball was a good find for Procol on the heals of Robin Trower resigning. His lead on the classic Conquistador I believe recorded the same year as this studio concert. Then Ball too quickly departed by years end and formed Bedlam with Cozy Powell.
The arrangement of the band members in a circle illustrates exactly what is heard in this song-- a perfect balance between all the instruments... The Hammond A100 and piano mesh perfectly, with guitar entering precisely when it should. Drums are awesome thoughout.. perfect.
I’m sitting here on my porch, on a 95° day with about 80% humidity, watching this on my iPhone, and listening to it through a Bluetooth speaker - and I have literal goosebumps! What a great band… Even though Chris Copping replaced Matthew Fisher, and David Bell replaced Robin Trower - still great!🤘
I was just going to post that I thought Dave Ball was the best guitarist Procol Harum had after Robin Trower, maybe despite Robin Trower. Then I saw that he himself had posted several time here. WOW! RIP Dave, such a great musician.

At my funeral, they can play "Repent Walpurgis" (Procol Harum can play if they'd like) and Funeral for a Friend (EJ, you, too, can play it if you'd like). After that, no one will have to say anything. Everyone will know everything about me and I will be able to go and rest in peace. Thank you Gary, Matthew, Robin and the rest for 4+ decades of soul-touching music! peace
GOD...do I love this song!!!😆😆😆 The power...the passion...Talk about pouring yourself into something!!!😂😂😂 This is life threefold!!!😂😂🥰 Now and forever, Crazy Gary 🤪🤪🤪
Very well said, Estivator. Today is the 23rd anniversary of B.J.'s passing. Even today, whenever I listen to B.J.'s work, I hear something new. I could not agree more on his talent and sensitivity, nor could I have phrased it more beautifully. And I must believe that we go on, surrounded by music, until we all hear one another play again.
My favorite video on youtube! BJ Wilson is the best and Gary is unbelievable what a talent and funny guy in concert. So underrated it's sad! this is prog rock at it's sophisticated peak!
Saw Procol Harum several times Loved them when Robin trower played with them. But they seem to always have it. Great songwriting with amazing lyrics. And the Hammond. One of the top ten ever
this needs comments more often than 1 year ago! .... this is simply amazing .... just the whole feel and musical expression of it is incredible .... it is so sad that this doesn't get 100 million views whilst some schlop modern pop nonsense gets that ! lol ... oh well even back in 1971 I wonder how many times this great thing got played on the air.

This Preludium piece of Bach by PH is why I started learning playing piano at the age of 60. Eleven years later I play it nearly every day, divine!
Het doet me altijd huilen. Super emotioneel gespeeld... Ook door BJ en hammond...
Great tribute to Bach. Procol's members were probably the first to realize that Bach was composing rock music before it existed.
What a great and timeless group.

Check out the original version from their first album with Robin Trower on lead guitar, also.
This is pure genius. As a huge metal fan. And a huge orchestra fan. I feel like I found home tonight

Loved prog. Rrock when I was a kid in the 70s but never listened to Procol Harum Now in my 60s I have gained an appreciation of thi band
Magnificent composition. I was under the impression I heard all of procol harum's songs. Came across this one today. Progressive rock at it's best.
Was the opening for Cincinnati's WEBN "Jelly Pudding" progressive rock format back in the 70s.
@@c.a.savage5689 Yes, it was! I listened every time it was on the air, lived in Cincinnati too. What superb memories.
The perfect musical progression, still fresh after 50 years....

Сколько не смотрю....столько и восторгаюсь!!!!!
Truly a magnificent masterpiece.Probably their best piece from a stunningly creative band that was always overshadowed by one generation defining hit.
I've always loved their music - listened under star filled sky camping as a 20 Yr old near St.Ives 40+ yrs ago. Never forget :)
😭
Stunning music from a stunning band. Rest in peace Gary. I pray for you every day. Ireland calling ☘️
Grandiose and celestial music by P H will always touch my heart
Who else- before or since- made music like this???? NO ONE:)
E pensare che da ragazzi e´ stato uno dei primi brani che avevamo imparato a suonare....che spasso....che bei ricordi...

Time for one last song and they had not already played Whiter Shade of Pale? They must have been toying with the audience.
I was there, Great show!!
Caught this tour at Toad's in New Haven. Tim Renwick was on guitar and Matthew was there, B. J. was sorely missed. They were so good.
Unbelievably great; peerless in their time ( up to the passing of the late, great Gary Brooker...)!
I'd hurd this composition for the first time at a french TV show "Les enfants du rock", 44 years ago. On my opinion, it was the most beautiful of Procol Harum.
Procol Harum, een band van uitzonderlijke klasse. Dit is ook weer zo'n nummer waar je eindeloos lang naar kan luisteren.
I still have my original first pressing of their debut album. The Beatles are reported to have played it many times while doing promo work in a southern England forest. It and the follow-up A Salty Dog are masterpieces. The band was never the same after Trower left. 1967 was a great year for music.
Your absolutely correct. On a factory reel to reel playing 7.5ips "A Satly Dog" is sonic heaven.
this is one of this bands you can buy every record without hearing before
Thank you great man. God Washington with you on tre earth. Now you are playng for him with all your guys. Ciao GARY
У Прокол Харам много отличных вещей, но это шедевр на века. Гэри Брукер- титан, спи спокойно, мы тебя никогда не забудем!!!

My all time fave Harum tune
Seeing B.J.live was magical I saw PH 17 times from 1968 and just this year 2012 not the same without him
it's not Procol Harum anymore to me but Gary Brooker's band!
Phenomenal ! - just pure Procul Harum, no one like them!
Grande indimenticabile Gary
One of my favourite Procol tracks - so much atmosphere and, of course, the definitive Hammond!
Un assoluto capolavoro...sublime "Fortuna"
Absolutely awesome.

Simply the best!!!! One of my favorite songs!!!!
Beautiful.... just absolutely beautiful and very stirring!
Heavenly! Thank's a million.
But how people can dislike this song , I really can't understand .
I can understand why they all disliked it, they all are deaf
because compared to the version with Robin Trower and Wilson on organ it sucks
@@PhukIT1865 Wilson is the drummer. Never the organist.

My first progrock exposure I loved them BJ Wilson is an inspiration me being a drummer
One of my main influences when I was a drummer in the late 60's
Seems like these fellows knew what they were doing.
this is the most infernal tune that i've ever heard
Go back to Jersey.
this song is beaufyfull.
Procol Harum is such a great band! Take in the late great B.J. Wilson's tour de force!
WOW. Simply incredible.
Amen
Their best composition. Absolutely.
Yes

Truly a GREAT band. Was and will always be as long as they don't stray too far away from their original slant towards the classical.
this should be hailed as one of the best compositions of prog rock, the fact this was released in 1967 is astonishing.
1967!! Timeless.
The poignant story of my life’s in this song😭
@@leighgoldstein3119Prog began in 1967 with Procol Harum and the Moody Blues
It is by JS Bach and is v good.
Music experts say it's more influenced by Bach's music, and their contributions should be recognized . . .
You are very right when you talk about B.J. Wilson. I share your opinion. He was the God of drummers.
Very well said, Estivator. Today is the 23rd anniversary of B.J.'s passing. Even today, whenever I listen to B.J.'s work, I hear something new.

Wonderful to see the great B J Wilson on drumzz. R.I.P, B J we fans of Procol know who our ETERNAL HARUM drummer is.
Woah... Just simply; Woah.
I love you procol harum.

This blew my mind... Especially starting from 5:25. Amazing...
Great song from their Procol Harum in 1967. Love this live clip, been listening to it since being posted here more than 8 years ago. Thanks.
Saw Procol Harum several times Loved them when Robin trower played with them. But they seem to always have it. Great songwriting with amazing lyrics. And the Hammond.
