the way Gary Brooker and his musicians led us back to our old times and rememberance ?!
We are so fortunate to be able to listen to this fabulous performance and interpretation of a classic song.
yes, right there in the north sea too.

Gary really gave his all to each song, he wanted this as his legacy and man did they achieve that. A great tribute for themselves and for all music.
One of the most beautiful compositions I’ve ever heard in my life.
Same here.
Masterpiece !!!!
Some voices lose their richness and flexibility, some lose their range from the top, some lose it from the bottom, but Gary Brooker's voice in this concert is, if anything, richer and more powerful throughout the range than it was fifty years earlier, as is his command of the piano. There are legends, but this man is a Titan!
now he's gone. he left the world so much and he gave so much
Well said mate
@@PhukIT1865 Understatement, but spot on. No words can express.
He had an incredible voice that never changed in all of those years. ‘Whiter Shade of Pale’ was one of my favorite songs when I was in Jr. High many many years ago. RIP
Every time I watch this video, I think that his voice has not changed. Thank you and God Bless.@@junbug1029
An already emotionally beautiful song takes on an ever deeper heartbreaking beauty after hearing of the passing of Gary Brooker. Rest in Peace, Sir. The tears are flowing deeply...
Where is he now? No mortal place at all.
😢
@@jbr84tx brilliant.
But "the tears were years of joy"
@@johnwyke-smith7402 now not so joyful with his passing
Their will never be another Gary Brooker, an outstanding musician and sadly gone forever but his music lives on!!
It blows my mind that music, like literature, can live forever.
Gary, one nice ,and lovingly passionate chap!!
RIP
Capolavoro assoluto...R.I.P. Gary
So true!
I travelled to London some years ago to visit their 50th Anniversary Konzert at Southbank.
Garry missed one step as he left the stage for the break.
The break took one hour.
He played around one hour with a wound dressing around his head, and an injured hand.
That's Rock & Roll!
I'm so glad that I heard him at least once in my life.
R.I.P.
I listen to David Draimond's cover of the Sound of Silence ~ and it gave me great hope for the future.
You'll see (or hear).
Gary has made his final port of call: A sand so white and seas so blue, no mortal place at all. RIP Gary and thank you for all of the music. Godspeed.
@Buddy Austin Thank you; his passing hit me hard. I have loved listening to his voice since "Whiter Shade of Pale" came out. "A Salty Dog" is an incredible composition, and the string arrangement is sublime.
Amen.
your comment brought me to tears, so beautiful.
@@dougpeters1625 As does Gary's voice and music. Peace to you.
Amen, Gary.
You've enriched our lives
Godspeed.
Rip gary brooker. What a brilliant often underated artist. Incredible vocal even in his later years. 😢
Absolutely lovely. He has an amazing voice even now. WOW Gary Brooker.
Just finished NAVY boot camp in SAN DIEGO, CA. and seen this proformance 1971, still sounds great
Sad News, Gary passed away. An amazing musician and vocalist. Listen to this live version of "Salty Dog". No one can touch it. I think his voice got stronger with age. Here,, he gives it everything he's got. Amazing. God speed Gary.
On the level of an avatar Gary 'invented' this style of music influencing everyone including Genesis and all of Prog.. Hard not to cry as I listen to this master.. but not tears of sadness.. simply perfect gratitude and joy.. Spot on Bill
What fantastic "PIPES" Gary Brooker had. The depth of his voice will last forever. Thank you for the music Bro.
He never lost his tremendous voice. Rest in peace, Sir
If anything he was much better than his younger self. Would have loved to be at that concert,
An amazing voice that aged like fine wine. The older he became, the better his voice got. What an unforgettable concert!
❤😢
I love "A Salty Dog", what a wonderful version, never sounded better. Great musician, RIP
There are no words to describe how amazing this is
The chorus was magnificent. It added the dramatic that is needed for this song And of course, there's Gary Brooker, what a voice, what a man.
Rest in Peace Gary Brooker. Thank you for the gift of your music ❤
Yes!! 💯💜
Ci incontreremo su quella cala sabbiosa,parola di lupo grigio.f.to Akela
I used to listen to Procol Harum while in college (1972-1976). A Salty Dog is an incredible piece of music. And seeing it performed here with choir and orchestra is a good as it gets. Rest In Peace, Gary Brooker.
Close your eyes and you’re on this ship ! What a voice ! Such a loss. I loved this song since I left the Army in late sixties. Best of times. Fair winds and following seas Gary
Brings tears to your eyes. How can he maintain that voice? What a gift to music
I just found this epic concert. Gives me goosebumps!
ur so right....
@@mitchgilbert8369 Me too!
Man, you're right. Brought tears to my eyes immediately.
Probably avoided smoking, drinking, using drugs, and hard living!?
We must have listened and watched this 1000s of times, each time our eyes water and hearts are lifted. A truly cerebal and uplifting experience. 😌
Sad to hear today that the legend Gary Brooker has passed away he was such a talent and we will never hear the likes of him again. RIP and thank you for the music you’ve left behind.

While "A Whiter Shade of Pale" is for the mainstream "A Salty Dog" is for the gourmet...
Yeah, me too.
Always loved it
The dynamics are unmatched
Saved me ...
agree, my #1
my wonderful youth has just died . RIP Gary ..... see you 🎹✌️🎤
This is simply awe inspiring.. Gary Brooker passed away on 2/19/22. Rest In Peace Gary. Thanks to the Creator for blessing us with your voice.
he actually passed on the 19th, it was just made public on the 22nd, pure Godgiven talent; RIP Sir.......
@@j.c.a2872 will edit, thanks.
How can they not be in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame? 😫😫😫 RIP Gary, you're Hall Of Fame to the world. 🌎 🤟🤟💜💜
They're in everyone's Hall Of Fame. That's what truly matters. Gary Brooker is a legendary voice who shall never be forgotten.
most Americans regard the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame as a farce, joke. as a friend of mine who is in it said “the only reason anybody wants to get in it is because when they announce you as a rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Famer to a promoter your fee ($)goes up.”
Think of all the shitty acts who can’t sing write play or perform at the highest level and realize that that’s your competition. These guys write one of the greatest songs ever plus albums filled with excellent music and they are passed over for the likes of a band like Kiss or Metal crap and ‘softie pop’.. There is no legitimacy to the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame. Make your own up in your own mind and listen to it over and over and over again. That’s what true fans do. The rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame will go out of business at some point.
How the fuck could that be, that shows you what the r&r hall of fame is really worth or should i say worthless
@@potterwalker4823 It can't come soon enough
Astonishing, simply one of the best music clips I have ever seen or heard. Hauntingly beautiful. RIP Gary.
A Salty Dog.....Gary's Voice is one of the Best in Rock History.......what a Feeling......what a Power.......this is the best Version I've ever heard :)
Then you’d appreciate this. I sat mere feet from him at B.B. King’s and his voice resonated through me and all over the venue. Impressive does not begin to describe the experience.
@@CWA61
an outstanding vocal delivery here by Mr. Brooker. That is my opinion, and I would love to hear what a vocal expert would think. To me it's world-class.
Peter Kroll I second that!
At 67, I regret that I never saw Gary and the band in concert. This goes beyond Edmonton. 💙
Unici...!!!!
Tutte le volte che la sento...
Mi strappa il cuore
Just Amazing. We were the luckiest generation
i’m 17 wish i was born back when music was like this. you are truly very lucky :)
Indeed, we were.
R.I.P, Gary. Your beautiful work will last in the world through the endless time...Your witness my own hand..
What a loss! I've been listening to Procol Harum for over 50 years. One of the greatest bands of all time. RIP Gary Brooker.
In 1969 we shared a stage with them at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago. The debut of this song happened there. It was breathtaking. It still is. Bravo
Thanks for sharing that memory. Pretty cool.
Sometimes words are not enough. This is one of the greatest concerts ever. Gary and the rest of the guys were brilliant. The choir and orchestra brilliant. Wish I could have been there.
Amen. I am blessed to have discovered this gem of a concert.I have been a Procol Harum listener and this is a concert I wish I could have experienced live.
I TOTALLY AGREE! MY FAVORITE ROCK BAND OF ALL TIME!
It is so connected. Time connected this. All the musicians know how to make this fly. They are grown up with Procol Harum.

And he is so 'down to earth'. Quite some years ago (2002), a morning after a performance Gary Brooker stepped down in his morning dress and socks, and played 'A WhiterSshade of Pale' for breakfast and the other guests, at the tiny harmonium placed in the small 'Rock Hotel' Brundby at Samsø , Denmark. One of the other guests surprised guests were Bill Whyman. This is just a small, cozy little hotel . Not a 5-star hotel, bath and toilets at the hallway. They make small intimateconcerts, not earning big money. Very often guests and 'stars' meet in the corridors.
It's 48 years ago, I heard this song, and still I get goosebumps to hear that song again!!! Procol Harum set feelings free in us young people and expressed in an unknown manner, what we felt, what we thought, what we wanted to live, a new live getting ahead from the ruins. This song goes so deep!!! Thank you all this people in the 60's and 70's!!
RIP Gary. Thank you for a lifetime of your great music. Will miss you lots. 💐 💔 😢
Honestly I have no special relationship to seafaring - and thoug this song fascinated me from the first hearing somedays in the seventies on, and it still squeezes out the tears from my eyes.
I just heard Gary left us a few days ago. May this talented, soulful man rest in peace. His singing with Procol Harum was as good as it gets in my opinion. Perfect expression, always with a sort of sadness, which to me was beautiful.
His voice and spirit will be always with us. Thank you Gary for all your great work and the legacy you left here, We will not forget you. Enjoy the other side
if a song lasts 50 years... it means it's something special.
You're special, Gary. A Titan
this is progressive rock
amazing emotion)voice
sad but so beautiful
The best harmonic arrangement with a huge voice and a melt of chorus and instruments so emotional, amazing. Nadia Calefato
How is it possible his voice is even better 35 years later? The slightly rougher, grizzled quality just adds a lot to this song. I bought this album when it came out. This was my favorite track.
I love this song too. Gary’s voice is amazing. It has improved over the years. He has improved with age. ❤️🌹❤️
This is a sterling performance! Chorus and orchestra are awesone!
Epic performance. One of my favorite songs of all time. This song soars.
What a tremendous joy it must have been for Procul Harum to perform their beautiful, symphonical mus ic with this orchestra and choir. It gives me goosebumps all over at least. “We sailed for parts unknown to men, where ships come home to die” is definitely the most beautiful line in the lyrics of popmusic. The whole ship’s crew perished but reached “no mortal place at all”, after seven seasick days they made their port of call together and cried tears of joy.
The greatest song ever performed and goodness what an arrangement … just perfect … RIP buddy … you are so missed
God ... his voice is still so strong and brilliant!
very very good
He still has his fastball
maybe no nicotine or other drugs?
Yes man! Is it! Greatings from Italy :)
Man ! This Cat Still Goin Strong.
Thanks and RIP Gary (= Procol Harum), one of the most fantastic and extra galactic of the 60's, 70's, etc.... I'm extremely lucky to have the opportunity, since the 60's, of ear and enjoy yr musics.
I don't why this song always gets me choked up. So beautiful. Brooker's voice has aged like wine....richer now than ever.
4:12.
@@spikespa5208 chills. Every single time.
My brother (59) and I (64) listened to it and couldn't stop tears from flowing.
Me and my brother ,61 -56 . The same
God Bless you Procol Harum and thankyou to the people of Denmark for their usual and wonderful embrace of this group,one of Britains finest....The choir is simply incredible...
Great artists are leaving, but their music will always go on. RIP Gary.
Strangely enough, for three weeks I have intensively discovered Procol Harum music richness, and wondered how I could not have heard it before, apart from Whiter Shade of Pale. This concert in a whole is brilliant, with epic versions of their great songs. The second verse of An Old English Dream :
"Once we had a country
And thought it so fair
If you look through the mirror
You can still find it there
But now our great country
Is broken and torn
And all of its promise
And liberties worn"
echoes so deeply today in our post Covid countries, with liberties worn.
Now the final whiter shade of pale came on your face, RIP with our deepest respect, Mr Brooker.
Such a sad loss to lose such incredible unique artistic talent. A privilege to watch and listen to this performance.
RIP ✌ 🙏 GARY BROOKER 2- 26 -22 🌹
YOU ARE GLORIOUS !
You have invaded and pervaded my youth with your voice and your songs, and today my youth is gone with you. Rest in peace, Great Gary. Your absence is disruptive ....
With immense gratitude and perennial affection. Gianfranco
What a voice amazing. I love this guy he's everything that represents talent.
God embraces you for what you have given to the world.
How did Gary Brooker touched upon greatness I have no idea. But he did and we should all be eternally grateful to him. For now, I will simply enjoy his music as I did for the past 50 years.
My 53rd anniversary today. Listening to my favorite R&R of the last 60 years. This is in my top 10 and will always remain so. RIP Gary❤
In my lifetime I have never experienced a more brilliant musician. No words.
R.i.P Gary....Thanks to what you brought to the world with your beautiful somgs.
This live version of A Salty Dog is incredibly stunning! I'm so sorry about the death of Gary Brooker, but ' our tears are tears of joy for the great emotions he has given us over the years! RIP
This is, by far, my favorite arrangement of this song. Amazing how strong Gary's voice is! And the Danish National Concert Orchestra was just spectacular.
The best songs have the capacity to transport you to another place. I see a ship sailing through the treacherous waters around Cape Horn when I listen to "Salty Dog." I never tire of this wonderful piece of music.
Gary,s voice blends so well with the orchestra. Lovely!
I've always found A Salty Dog a very magical song, very moving. Glad to see I am not the only one. Thank you all. Love and peace.
He had such an exceptionally beautiful melancolic voice... ❤️
I pay my respect to this POP GIANT, the one who repeatedly gave me the goosebumps with his unbelievable and beautiful compositions. Rest in peace Gary Brooker. ✝️
Adding the choir makes a feature of the string part .Genius.
Wow!! As if the original version wasn't stellar enough!! It must be absolute heaven to be Gary Brooker at a moment like this....with the divine choir & orchestra backing him up. It just doesn't get any better!!! He still has one of the most recognizable voices in Pop Music. So fine!!!! ~King Bear
Yes it's so perfect.
Magnificence!
Amen. I adore him!
absolutely! :)
Love Gary Brooker
He ages like a fine wine
A spellbinding unique performance. R.I.P. Mr. Brooker.
RIP We will miss you here. God bless and condolences to Gary's family. I am grateful we have his music left with us.
Always my favorite Procol Harum song !
Rest In Peace. Loved listening to you.
Una versione fantastica. Gary Brooker aveva una voce più bella di quando era giovane. Ci mancherà
Missing him tonight - his music lives on. This song captures a spirit -like many of his masterpieces. Glad I was here to experience it.
Simply the best version for this absolute masterpiece of a song. PH is one of the most underrated progressive rock bands of all time. The choir made it more brilliant than it already was!
and symphony orchestra made this even bigger! i love Proge!
Oh I rank them way above the Beagles I mean Beatle's. 😂🙄🌞🌴🐊Hello from Orlando, Florida
Often a great rock song is made even better when its chords are fully fleshed out by an orchestar. Procol's works are perfectly suited for this, see also Whiter Shade of Pale from this same concert. Also The Who's Tommy done together with the London Symphony Orchastra and some guest voalists. Spotty at points, but breathtaking most of the time... Rod Steward did the Pinball Wizard...
The Edmonton Symphony version was fabulous but this one had me in tears. Can't find the right words to say how great this is.
Exactly how I feel now having seen it for the first time. Always have loved this song and he sings just as well as he always did.
Brought me to tears.
RIP Gary Brooker. Thanks for all the great music. 🎶☮️✌️😍
Went to Monte Carlo to see them, fulfilled a lifetime ambition, only 1 word to describe it, STUPENDOUS!! When they did Whiter Shade of Pale, you could hear a pin drop, I saw so many people weep with joy, what a concert!! Worth the 1200 mile round trip, and I'd do it again tomorrow, in a heartbeat. Awesome.
What a voice. What a band. What an orchestra.... what and event. Look down on us as you wish, ye gods, and despair: on our best days we outdo you all.
RIP Gary, followed your work since 60’s and never got bored. You and your music will live forever! Thanks for everything!
An absolute masterpiece; wonderfully played. THIS is how rock and classical should blend.
For me, undoubtably the diamond in Procol Harum's songbook, especially with this great arrangement. Thanks for posting !
So emotional! One of the best performances Ive witnessed!
Thankyou!
Its great!
Gary....non sarai mai morto nei cuori di chi ha potuto godere della tua musica! Sei eterno come l'Hammond in A whiter shade of Pale!
Goodbye Commander. Thank you for the music, it never dies.
This is an incredible version of one of the most beautiful songs ever....and Gary Brooker's voice is still awesome!
Yes! His soul is still touching many!
Salty dog..Loved the seagull on guitar! The choir.. The orchestra .. And the passionate folksy voice .. Great !!!
Lives on here on Cape Fear North Carolina USA
We 'll never be grateful enough to all those amazing musicians (Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, Pink Floyd etc...) for the happiness they gave to our wold
Out of this world.
THE BEST OF THE BEST ! I WAS A YOUNG MAN, WHEN THIS CAME ALONG !now at 70 ,still thinks its tops !.
Sadly some of our favourites of yesteryear lose their singing ability with age. Gary Brooker just seems to get better. What a stunning performance by him and everyone on stage. Fantastic!!
I just listened to this after hearing a live 1971 version. The vocals were almost identical. Gary Brooker rocks!
His voice sounds the same!!! He's so great, I can't believe it!!!!
Living through that period & always searching new, exciting & meaningful music, I considered Procol Harum one of the great bands of that time.
This is a brilliant gem masterpiece, and even better with age. RIP my brother. See you in Heaven. Incredible voice and great composition.
Masterpiece...
Quando si è sensibilmente predisposti e si incontra l'ispirazione alla giusta ora, può nascere un Capolavoro come questo...
Degno spartiacque tra la musica degli anni' 60 e tutto quello che è accaduto almeno fino ad oggi...
(Chi non ha Sognato con "A come Avventura "?!...)
Grazie Gary, Grazie Procol Harum...
this is so beautiful I can hardly bear it.
Only a handful of songs do that, but this one tops the list. You nailed it.
We all have to recover fom this masterpiece Gary Brooker thank you very much !!
Oh no, such a sad day.. I had the opportunity to see you live in March 2020, but Covid canceled all.. And then.. Can't stop tears looking this. Rip Gary
Possibly one of the most suggestive songs ever written - and I think it describes the journey of our soul...
How cute
What a combination. Fabulous band combined with an orchestra and an incredible and unique song. We were indeed really lucky to live through the prog rock era. Music like this is no longer produced or even welcome.
RIP Mr Brooker. You will be missed sir.
