Denny. Henry here just to say hello. Still in touch with Sam Kelly who says 'Hi" ...This shows how brilliant Dave was. No more words just 'brilliant'. He was such a great fella and I still have the Resonance fm Radio Show we did on Mixcloud should you need a link ? RIP Dave
PH was one of the very best concert bands ever. Like hearing Beethoven through Marshalls. I saw them with axemen Robin Trower, Dave Ball twice and Mick Grabham. For several hours they threw back the curtain of the gods, with thunder and brimstone, and u were emotionally and physically spent when leaving their shows. Thank u, PH, for being such an important part of the musical fabric of my Baby Boom gen. Much appreciated.
Had the extreme pleasure of meeting these fine Musicians and driving them around in Detroit every time they played there. 1967 til 1969. Robin Trower days. went to at least 15 of their shows in that period. The music community has lost another one of the truly great performers and songwriters. Goodbye Old Friend. am sure I'll be joining you fairly soon. Day Hello to BJ for me.
Saw them live in 1974. PROCOL HARUM were a most modest band; they were on stage to play - not for lightshow bathing. They were an essence of true quality. They didn't sound like many others - they were originators. Not a hit machine, but creators of very outstanding material. Thank you so much for uploading this! Barrie J. Wilson was in my humble opinion one of the very few really creative drummers - he illustrated PROCOL HARUMs grand "poetic and musical paintings" to another dimension - no less. Rest in peace, boys - you gave me sooo much more than most of them others - you made me rich by owning your recordings!
No twirling sticks, no BS. BJ got down to business. He's a drummer who is underappreciated and underrated. He never needed a giant kit like Neal Peart.
Awesome! Thank you for posting! I saw them twice in the 70s with Robin Trower. One of my 3 top bands that never aged, together with Doors and Beatles. Procol got super lucky getting BJ Wilson, he was targeted by Led Zeppelin but didn't join. Twist of fate, because Procol would have never gone that far with the drummer BJ replaced early in the game. Brooker & Co remain timeless, they are the single most unique band in the history. There is simply no one like them.
YES ! Sublim concert, Magical, Magnificente, Epic... atmospher harmony. Gary Brooker is a Legend . Love Procol Harun Forever and Ever.👏 Rest in Peace Gary 🙏🏽🕊💜
Gary Brooker died at the age of 76. (R.I.P.) 02.19.2022 Cancer. A remarkable and unforgettable voice. I Love You, Gary. I Love Procol Harum. 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Dave Ball, incrible!!!!
This is what Brooker looked like when I first met him. Before the show in Asbury Park, right ON the ocean, in Convention Hall....he was outside on a huge outer balcony, just gazing at the Atlantic. Wish I could remember every word spoken, but even at 14 or 15 it affected me. That GAZE...... I asked him who he was and he told me 'Brooker'.
While I 16 and still a JR in HS, my parents finally gave the OK to go to my 1st show on 4/21/73. My and my buddies saw Procol Harum @ the Felt Forum, NYC. Due to overwhelming tix demand, there was a late show added the same night and being already my best Saturday night ever, we all decided to go to the late show as well. So my 1st two concerts would be this GREAT band!!
@@Nudiescorner Did you do 1st show or late show. Stupid me, we did both (the 2nd was my 1st scalped tix) & almost missed the bus back to Central NJ. I don't think my parents would have been happy if I spent the night in NYC Port Authority on my 1st time out!!. My concert journey may have been a tad delayed. Just made it to bus in time. Most exciting day/night of my life to dat point. NEVER FORGOT IT!!
I've seen PH 7 times , with just about every member that was ever in the band, and this concert was one of the best ever. BJ did an outstanding performance on power failure. RIP Gary, BJ, Dave, and Alan. heaven must be rocking out now.
One of my favorite bands from the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. Melodic, dynamic, and powerful. Killer vocals (RIP Gary Brooker) and great playing fom eveybody. This is the first I’ve heard of the guitar player who replaced Robin Trower. Robin’s great, but so was Dave! Great bass playing too, although he’s hardly shown in this clip. And the drumming is just spectacular. What a great band! And it’s great to hear Conquistador again-I hadn’t heard it in years.
Wow! What a performance! Takes me back to the unbelievably fertile period of live rock music from the late 60s to the mid-70s. Countless number of great bands and shows, but Procol Harum was like no other. Small group of friends and I followed them relentlessly and saw the band every time they came to the NY/NJ area. Fillmore East, Schaeffer Music Festival, Felt Forum, Academy of Music, Capitol Theatre…what memories! Gary Brooker, Matthew Fisher, Robin Trower, BJ Wilson, David Knights and those that followed always delivered. Incredible musicianship. Glad to have been among those who truly appreciated their excellence.
Procol Harum is much loved by many including me! I was 11 when first heard them, 1st single stayed 6wks at No 1 in 1967, I got to see them the following year. I wish I’d kept tickets of their gigs I went to but saw them at Mothers, Birmingham, then several times at Birminghams Town Hall and London too. ( RIP Gary, Keith + B.J. ). Robin + Matthew still going. I love this band and all who sailed in her so so much!
Wonderful to hear all of thsi live but especially for me (most) of 'In Held Twas In I'. If Procul didn't invent prog with 'Pale' then they certainly invented it with this suite (1968!) and it's a wonder they're not more celebrated and acknowledged as such. Incredible band.
I went on RUclips tonight just so I could hear all of "In Held Twas I" again. In my youth I played the album all the time. Incredible musicians and Gary's voice took me to another place. That he (and so many others from this group) are gone leaves a hole in my heart and soul.
AMAZING!! What footage. Such a breakthrough, exciting, creative yet underrated band. To see them in their heyday in such an authentic way is truly magical. Gary Brooker one of GOAT! R.I.P.
Like both ,friend ..but to hear this one, just the band ,push their instruments to the limit,makes it special to me.. Copping is on footpedalls on the last part,that Hammond is ready to explode. Orchestra? Who needs it..@@Chazthefurr
Man, Gary had the goods. Greatest band ever. B.J. so defined their sound. In those days, drummers were so integrated into the ensemble sound. Truly percussionists, not merely there to provide a backbeat. Keith Moon, Charlie Watts, Ringo, Carmine Appice, Bonzo, Bruford, Bob Henrit...many more.
1970 and I was 16. Loved Procul Harum, was off to Isle of Wight to see them and was ill. My mate saw them and even now delights in telling me he was at the front and fell asleep when they were on. Never got to see them.
Brilliant material and good to see Dave B in peak form. The 'in held' segment is great and unbroken whereas as the audience recordings of both nights have a tape flip at that point. thank you

You cannot begin to grasp HOW RARE this is. Probably the only fully surviving copy of this anywhere in the world. One of only three Shows featuring Dave Ball from this time frame INA France and Studio Hamburg being the other two copyright holders with surviving period masters.

I don't mind saying I cried a little Gary Broker, another GIANT brought down by the great equalizer and his evil minion cancer. There won't be another like him.
I wish that there was a PH video that concentrated on BJ..he was front center for a reason..never saw anything like him before,never will again..the 6 times I saw the band,I couldn't take my ears/ eyes off his drumming..never did what you expected,layed back sometimes when you thought there might be a roll,then surprised you with absolutely beautiful fills where you didn't expect,and always played the drums as a musical instrument.The Best...
Agree that Barrie J Wilson was a very gifted drummer. He for me later became the centre of PH, the one to watch for me, along with Gary and Keith, they were great backstage too. Glad to see fans looking for autographs. I saw them on my 16th birthday at the Mothers Club in Erdington, Bham U.K. And in Bham and London more than 10 times. Great musicians and band.
@ 4:30 Look at Chris. He is watching Gary. Poor Chris is READY for the next section but it sounds like Gary does not cue it! Alan definitely continues on and it actually sounds like Gary is still continuing the previous section WHILE he starts singing the next section. I'm not criticizing, we're human, mistakes happen. I love PH.
Thanks for posting! I've seen countless performers ( seeing Buddy Guy, John Hiatt and Sonny Landreth together this July), but I have never seen a band quite like Procol Harum! So appreciate B.J. and Gary Brooker. RIP.
Merci ! J'apprécie vraiment Procol Harum. De tous les guitaristes qui ont joué au sein du groupe, c'est cet homme mince de haute taille que je préfère (ensuite, c'est Mick Grabham) ; le jeu de guitare de Dave Ball sert magnifiquement et en finesse la musique du groupe, et j'aime bien les expressions de son visage pendant les soli.Tous les musiciens du groupe sont égaux en qualité d'interprétation et la voix de Gary Brooker sert les textes, notamment ceux de Keith Reid, à merveille.
Sure brings back memories. I was in a refugee camp in Capua, Italy when their song, Whiter shade of Pale became a hit. Also, the jukebox in the cantina always played "American Woman" by Guess Who.
But what dark keys in Chris's release. And they drill a hole in the stomach, I love the sound. And how BJ whisks away at his pots. Overall, a memorable concert, you can see that the band has solidified after the success of the album "Edmonton".
One of the greatest band in the history of Rock Music

I agree with you

Saw them in Montreal then and i still have their precious autographs + Mathew Fisher fantabulous they were
B J Wilson was one of the best of his genre to play drums Phil Collins came after
My father was listening to PH. So it's reminding me my childhood. 1972 was a magical year! ✨🌟
Ah, yes, the late, great Barrie Wilson, one of the most underappreciated drummers in rock history!
Originally he was supposed to be Led Zeppelin's drummer, but preferred to stay with Procul Harum.

この客席の中の一人でした

時代的には元はカラーですよね
ホンバーグ,,,あれ邦題なんていうのかな？ ホンバーグでいいのかな とシンプル・シスターも当日演奏しています
ブロークン・バリケードもやったように思うけど記憶があいまいです
本編ラストがソルティ・ドッグで蒼い影はアンコールでした
テレビで撮ってる都合で一旦引っ込んでからアンコールはすぐに 10秒ぐらいで出てきました
で この日のテン・イヤーズ・アフターの録画はあるのか
残念ながらプロコル・ハルム終了の時点で機材は速やかに撤収されていました
探しても無駄です
で まぁとにかく50年間待ちに待った番組をアップロードしてくださってホントに感謝､感謝であります
でもこのメンバーの内ゲイリー・ブルッカーとBJウィルソンはもう居ないんだよね 他のメンバーはよく分からないけど
この動画も驚いたけど、現場で見た人がコメントしてるのもまた驚きました。詳細な情報ありがとうございます。
"Homburg"というのは、フェルトで出来たホンブルグ・ハット(帽子)のことだそうです。

Agree that Barrie J Wilson was a very gifted drummer. He for me later became the centre of PH, the one to watch for me, along with Gary and Keith, they were great backstage too. Glad to see fans looking for autographs. I saw them on my 16th birthday at the Mothers Club in Erdington, Bham U.K. And in Bham and London more than 10 times. Great musicians and band.
Yes, a unique voice -- but don't underrate Gary Brooker as a keyboard man. One of the best.
Yes there is no underrating Gary that's for sure...
I absolutely love this. Fortunate to having caught PH twice in '72. Love hearing Dave wail on the Grand Hotel stuff. RIP Dave, Barrie, and Alan.
RIP Gary
Sadly, Chris Copping is now the only one in this line-up still with us
@ 4:30 Look at Chris. He is watching Gary. Poor Chris is READY for the next section but it sounds like Gary does not cue it! Alan definitely continues on and it actually sounds like Gary is still continuing the previous section WHILE he starts singing the next section. I'm not criticizing, we're human, mistakes happen. I love PH.
I saw your brother in 76 great musican Dave ball rip bj Wilson .Gary broker now also r i p .yeah one of the greatest band ever❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Magnificent, epic....Procol.
Thanks for posting! I've seen countless performers ( seeing Buddy Guy, John Hiatt and Sonny Landreth together this July), but I have never seen a band quite like Procol Harum! So appreciate B.J. and Gary Brooker. RIP.
Just fantastic. This gig showed Procol at their best. This performance is how I will remember them. TY for posting this incredible concert.
What a band, and the Sound...great
Thanks for posting this! so wonderful to see.
貴重な映像！！！しかも、ステレオ録音。
若い世代に見せたい。
いいえ、どいたしまして
Uau, Apostolos, this is becoming the new best youtube channel of preciosities!.... Loving it, thank you so much! Greetings from Portugal
Dave Ball!!!!!!! What a fab guitarist, and a well-deserved successor to Robbie, imho!
Merci ! J'apprécie vraiment Procol Harum. De tous les guitaristes qui ont joué au sein du groupe, c'est cet homme mince de haute taille que je préfère (ensuite, c'est Mick Grabham) ; le jeu de guitare de Dave Ball sert magnifiquement et en finesse la musique du groupe, et j'aime bien les expressions de son visage pendant les soli.Tous les musiciens du groupe sont égaux en qualité d'interprétation et la voix de Gary Brooker sert les textes, notamment ceux de Keith Reid, à merveille.
A million times, YES! much appreciated for the GOLD. Thank you.
Great concert!!
The high lights of the Procol era. So powerful, so great, many thanks. And BJ, WOW.
Thank you so so much for sharing this treasure. Means so much to be able to see this as well as hear it. Incredible memories.
Thanks for posting...but it's put me in a state of procul harum.
...........sublime.........
Grand Finale... shivers every time I listen to it!
More like tears, mostly of joy.
PROCOL HARUM espectacular 😉🔟!!!!!
What a gem! Thank you!
Sure brings back memories. I was in a refugee camp in Capua, Italy when their song, Whiter shade of Pale became a hit. Also, the jukebox in the cantina always played "American Woman" by Guess Who.
Great to hear them include some tracks from the excellent Shine on Brightly album
Extraordinary Chris Copping then on organ playing
Keith Reid was present too at their Montreal show then i still have his autograph
But what dark keys in Chris's release. And they drill a hole in the stomach, I love the sound. And how BJ whisks away at his pots. Overall, a memorable concert, you can see that the band has solidified after the success of the album "Edmonton".
Thanks for this archive document
