I bought A Salty Dog in the early seventies because I found it was a wonderful song, but this live version with choir and orchestra is even more than wonderful and Brooker's voice, after so many years, is still thrilling….incredible!
@@stoutblackcat This song and this performance is one for The Angels! I play Procol Harum in my car from time to time with coworkers on the way to lunch or training sessions or field trips and Brooker and company always inspire awe.
Gary Booker and Band/Orchestra! UNBELIEVABLE PERRFORMANCE! The absolute best I have ever heard! And I have heard so many........to sound this good 40 years later a performer extraordinaire.....Thank you all that were on that stage for the remarkable performance!
This arrangement of this song is SUPREME! R.I.P. Gary Brooker, you were a rare talent. Long reign Procol Harum, one of the great rock groups to emerge from England! Absolute travesty they aren't in the R&R Hall of Fame.
In Italia, era la sigla di chiusura di un programma televisivo per ragazzi intitolato "avventura"..... Quanti ricordi.... Ho un nodo alla gola...... Grazie mille....
I keep coming back to this video. It's just stunning how his singular voice can command the stage with all those instruments and the size of the audience and outside. It's just magnificent to me.
Questi sono fra i musicisti e i brani musicali di quel periodo che sono convinto rendano irripetibili quegli anni, ho avuto il privilegio di viverli da adolescente e credo sia stata una grande fortuna poter ascoltare da contemporaneo composizioni di questo livello . Riascoltare oggi che sono ormai settantenne questo pezzo che mi aveva incantato allora, mi ha fatto provare, amplificate le stesse emozioni e lo stesso stupore. Grazie per sempre.
@@giovannibiolcati6162 Francamente mi sfugge il senso del suo commento, l'informazione mi pare di scarsissimo interesse e comunque non aggiunge niente al valore musicale del brano. Quindi???
@@michelesbazzeguti1791 era solo un ricordo di gioventù, le chiedo umilmente scusa per avere suscitato in lei tanto disgusto da replicare al mio miserabile commento.
@@giovannibiolcati6162 Che paroloni, dal tono della risposta deduco che lei mi abbia catalogato come un vecchio rincoglionito; voglio solo chiarire che il suo commento mi è parso inopportuno perchè dà l'idea che il brano sia stato commissionato apposta dagli autori della trasmissione (che certo avevano ottimi gusti perchè la sigla di apertura era "She came in through the bathroom window" nella versione di Joe Cocker).
Una meraviglia di canzone. Mi trasporta in un'altra dimensione, con sensazioni intense, entra nella profondità della mia anima. La ascolto e riascolto, spessissimo.
This open air concert.. What can I say? It's magnificent, just magical. RIP Gary. So very sad. I'm 64 now and grew up in the sixties. Real music so it was. 🥰. Thank you!
I first heard this song when I was 15 years old, instantly liked it, and - now in my sixties - still think that this is one of the really great pieces of 20st century music. Thank you for this great performance. RIP Gary Brooker!
Finally, an old rocker who still cares about a quality performance. Can't tell you how many acts I've seen these days who go out to perform, I suppose, for a "pay day", and they absolutely suck in terms of vocals and instrumentation. I saw Gary Brooker do this and all the other big Procol Harum hits at the Grande Ballroom (Detroit) in 1968 and he's still got it. Kudos to him for respecting the music AND himself.
An absolute gem of a performance which made me quite emotional to say the least. Tears came.Rog. Pacific sunset records.Just heard we've lost lyricist Keith Reid today.
grandioso brano che rimarrà in eterno...bellissima questa versione con coro e orchestra... Gary riposa in pace e grazie per la musica che ci hai regalato...
The singers are singing Latin: Father, Son, Holy Ghost--repeated over and over again--not a Latin expert, but you can find this on the internet somewhere. I don't know what the final phrase of Latin is, however. And I totally agree with you. Gary Brooker is a class act and so well preserved. I saw Procol Harum live two years ago, and my brother and I were absolutely speachless at his abilities--we closed our eyes are were transported back in time. Procol Harum is not to be missed!
A Salty Dog The Latin Text These are the Latin words chanted on the Gary Brooker Ensemble's Within Our House recording of A Salty Dog. For an account of this text in performance click here or here Introduction and final verse non navis acta hieme portum posse capiet nisi dominum patrem filiumque et spiritum sanctum A ship driven by winter storms will not reach port unless it will take, as its master, Father Son and Holy Ghost Verse one si quidem gubernator veritate cursum tenebit ad caelum profecto navem itinere recto reget If indeed the helmsman will hold his course by the truth, then certainly he will steer the ship by a straight course toward heaven. Verse two ventus veritatis semper navem diriget ad portum The wind of truth will always lead the ship into harbour Coda animadvertis verba mea What you are hearing is my word trans.

Queste melodie, purtroppo, non si fanno più. Sarà che i tempi sono cambiati, ma sono certo che questo brano, che per me è uno dei più belli del secolo scorso, continuerà ad essere ascoltato e apprezzato negli anni a venire: i brani odierni dopo un mese hanno già stancato e passano velocemente nel dimenticatoio.
I have got to see a performance from them in my lifetime. I watch this every week and feel it in my heart every time. It is #1 on my list! Have to see them with an orchestra once in my life. Come to Louisiana ( New Orleans) at least. I have to see you perform this song.
2022-01-03: Tonight I told someone at a Bible study that this could be for my funeral. They responded mentioning “Into the West” from Lord of the Rings. Just listened to it. Not a bad pairing.
RIP Gary Brooker. I asked my son today (he is 34) did he know a whiter shade of pale, he said no. I have failed him.... He grew up with his mum, not me....
RIP Gary Brooker. Lost to cancer. So sad. Such a talent.
I bought A Salty Dog in the early seventies because I found it was a wonderful song, but this live version with choir and orchestra is even more than wonderful and Brooker's voice, after so many years, is still thrilling….incredible!
now he passed away :-(
Yes....RIP, I'm so sorry about it! I'll listen A Salty Dog again later
This performance is one for the ages.

It's 2024 and I still keep coming back! Fantastic rendition of this great song!
A singular voice, he'll never be duplicated.✌
I'ts the emotion in his key playing.
And now another rock legend is gone. We still have the great performances. RIP Gary Brooker.
This performance literally brought a few tears to my eyes. What a pity that the average dufus doesn't even know who Gary Brooker is.
In Italia, era la sigla di chiusura di un programma televisivo per ragazzi intitolato "avventura"..... Quanti ricordi.... Ho un nodo alla gola...... Grazie mille....
avevo 8/9 anni all'epoca,guardavo la trasmissione per le due sigle.Idem per il Groppo in gola
Guardavo avventura sino alla fine per sentire questo capolavoro..
Ricordo il programma. Bellissima canzone
Si... andava in onda il sabato... nel tardo pomeriggio... era un'appuntamento fisso... e chi se lo dimentica❤❤❤
Ho conosciuto il cameraman che faceva lo zoom della sigla di Avventura. Un visionario
I keep coming back to this video. It's just stunning how his singular voice can command the stage with all those instruments and the size of the audience and outside. It's just magnificent to me.
True
I find the same myself ,its a sheer work of art and poetry in musical brilliance. @@kulturfabrik-tonstudio
The finest version there will ever be of this esoteric song

Yeah bby
An undeniable masterpiece.
I'm drawn to this every week - like a drug . . . I'm Salty-Dog-dependent . . . never been so hooked on anything before . . .
Many moons and many Junes have passed since you made this comment, but yeah it's a great fucking song.
One of the classic masterpieces in time of perfection what a great performance 🙏🙏🙏
Una meraviglia di canzone. Mi trasporta in un'altra dimensione, con sensazioni intense, entra nella profondità della mia anima. La ascolto e riascolto, spessissimo.
E la sua voce pazzesca la rende ancora più emozionante ed immortale
What a great masterpiece. RIP poet, artist, genius
48 years later and still sounds great!
This version and Gary Brooker´s voice sound better than ever before.
I've known this song since I was 11 years old- and it still hits the spot
Hearing Gary's version of this -the chorus singing Latin and the orchestra... Its like seeing Jesus walking on the water in the storm...Magnificent!
This open air concert.. What can I say? It's magnificent, just magical. RIP Gary.
So very sad. I'm 64 now and grew up in the sixties. Real music so it was. 🥰. Thank you!
Marvellous! - Gary Brooker sounding as good as ever! A classic!
he's not lost a note.....amazing, Not many old rockers are still doing today what they did 50 years ago
Tears in my eyes. Greatness all the way!
I first heard this song when I was 15 years old, instantly liked it, and - now in my sixties - still think that this is one of the really great pieces of 20st century music. Thank you for this great performance. RIP Gary Brooker!
same here Roberta, I still think this is one of the greatest pieces ever.
D'accord! Il y en a tant au 20ième siècle!
One of the greatest songs ever. Thank you.
it gets better every time i hear it, a beautiful version sends shivers down my spine.
Brooker's voice is full and hearty. A great singer.
That frickin' voice, it kills me every time, just out of this world...
this performance needs to be always here for people to experience!!!!
A Salty Dog, Homburg, A Whiter Shade Of Pale MASTERPIECES!!!
Finally, an old rocker who still cares about a quality performance. Can't tell you how many acts I've seen these days who go out to perform, I suppose, for a "pay day", and they absolutely suck in terms of vocals and instrumentation.

He was phenomenal
This song always sends a chill up my spine, always brings a tear to my eye.
WOW as hard as it is to believe, this surpasses the original recording back in '69, loved the album cover depicting a ciggie - Players Navy Cut x
Capolavoro! Poesia pura!
Musical perfection. Inspired and inspiring
An absolute gem of a performance which made me quite emotional to say the least. Tears came.Rog. Pacific sunset records.Just heard we've lost lyricist Keith Reid today.
One of my all-time favorite songs since it came out way back when....I want this to be played on my funeral, one day.....
grandioso brano che rimarrà in eterno...bellissima questa versione con coro e orchestra... Gary riposa in pace e grazie per la musica che ci hai regalato...
Questa è la perfezione musicale.. Ho i brividi! 🌷
What a timeless and extraordinary song.and an amazing performance.thanks for posting
A forgotten masterpiece - wonderful.
I never forgot.
@@mahatmacoat6516 Never forgotten, it should be used in a movie. It tells a great story itself !!
tanks Walter for bring this unbelievable sound to us...
You and me, too Susan - I have to listen to every word of this every week, you're not alone . . .
Just perfect . (and I was there!)
Bump ... for a spectacular tour de force performance :)
Probably one of the greatest sea related songs ever written.
Goosebumps!
Fantatisch, super!
R.I.P. Gary Brooker...I'll never forget you.
True classic ! Outstanding !
Gary have a good journey. Thank you for your wonderful song and voice💔😥

Congratulations! You found it. There's really nothing better on RUclips.
Nog altijd geweldig gezongen...................mooi begeleidende koorzang en orkest.

This is modern classica l music...goes right to your soul
Atemberaubend gut!
Die mit Abstand beste Version dieses starken songs!
Nach all den Jahren bekomme ich jetzt gerade wieder Gänsehaut. Danke dafür...
RIP Keith Reid
Brooker - Reid, what a great writing duo !
a masterpiece!
Indimenticabile per noi bimbi degli anni anni 60: A come avventura
A me metteva un ansia tremenda !!
Nata nell’84. Una delle mie band preferite di sempre, nessuno dei miei coetanei ha idea di chi siano
Brividi. Lacrime. Per quello che c'era e non c'è più, eppure sempre ci sarà, in qualche modo. La canzone (canzone?) più bella di sempre
This performance needs to be in a museum so it can be heard until the end of time.
what a great voice....and what a wonderfull combination...contemporary opera....{{
I wish I were there...
!!Que voz tiene todavia"!! impresionante!!
Rest in Peace Gary Brooker
I have got to see a performance from them in my lifetime. I watch this every week and feel it in my heart every time. It is #1 on my list! Have to see them with an orchestra once in my life. Come to Louisiana ( New Orleans) at least. I have to see you perform this song.
Good music like this will outlive all of us Herbie
Marvellous ....
Just perfect.
Superb!
このコンサートは完璧でした!😮誰も近づくことは出来ません😮😅
Da Brivido.❤❤
20 Navy Cut,a box of matches,a few fish and Gary.What more could a seafarer need?
Fabulous

Wonderful!
Spectacular! Gary Brooker´s voice remains strong and touching. Does anybody know what is sung by the choir on the intro. Breathtaking. Thanks.
I don't know what they sang but it appears they borrowed it from the movie (The Omen) lol
Cudowny koncert, dzięki Gary..❤❤❤
Non so se godere, piangere o morire…..capolavoro unico!
Men what an incredible beautiful song ! It is a masterpiece !
this performance takes me to another plane entirely. Incredibly moving. WOW!

Pazzesco,doloroso, ma stupendo❤

Gary Brooker in the legend!!!
