    The studio version of this song which came out in the 60's was great but this live version is stupendous as the orchestra and choir give it more depth. Gary Brooker's voice aged like a fine wine. R.I.P. Gary.

      Reminds of how ( at least years ago ) you would hear a muzak version of it some public place. I think that died out and these days a restaurant for example has a music channel subscription to play original music recordings.

    R.I.P. Gary Brooker 😢 His voice was like fine wine. Just got better with age
    When this came out in 1967 there was another song that came out the same year that was like a book end to this song. Nights In White Satin by the Moody Blues. Would suggest you do the 1997 live in the NEC in the UK version

    🇨🇦 Procol Harum was an English rock band, consisting of 2 guitarists, a drummer, an organist and Gary on the piano ! This was written and released in 1967 ! (You should watch the original video when you get a chance)
    This outdoor concert from 2006, was hosted by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra and Procol Harum was their invited guests ! The Orchestra has over 70 Choir members and over 100 Musicians ! 🇨🇦

It's beautiful in it's orginal studio version and as amazing here live, sung by the same man, almost 4 decades later. The Danish National Orchestra is a fantastic one aswell.
    Next year is the 100 year anniversary for The Danish National Orchestra, so might be worth checking out their scheduale for the year (2025) to see if you can get a chance to join in on the celebrations. 😊
