Anyone listening in 2024???
Yup - right now 😊
Here I am...
I listen to this masterpiece every month... Marvellous is also the performance by Annie Lennox. I go back to the sixties and I feel the vibes I've felt when I was young....
Here I am
Beautiful isn't it
Me a 67 year old man, 2:46 am. Can't sleep looking at my beautiful wife she’s been battling breast cancer. I broke down, tears came flooding to my eyes. You see this is our song. 43 years with my soulmate.
Sorry, man. You make tears come in my eyes. Loved that song when it came out. Danced a lot to it. I'm feel very sorry for you, man.
You two certainly have great taste in music. Stay strong Mark. I’m so sorry your wife is going through this battle.
Prayers and all thoughts good, to you and her, from this day forward, my friend.
Keep up Mark. Love to your wife and you. It's ok to cry. Denis from Québec city.
Hi Mark Guy..Wide awake and listening to music when I should be zzzz. Just came across your post...I had a double mascetomy c
Here I am in 2024, at 67 years old. This is and will always be one of those songs and bands that touch my heart like no other. Awesome doesn’t even come close….. superb , no. I have no words. Hope we have kinder, bluer skies soon in the USA. ✌️
This song has always been magic.
I’m a month shy of 78 and still love this!
Listening and loving this. Age 66. This is beautiful.
Ditto that from South Africa ❤
i hope so too.
I have been crying every time I listen to it, because I was in the Vietnam during this time of era. I survived in the middle of the conflict. I'm now 74 and in the back yard of my daughter house and got tears in my eyes again listening to it. I'm proud to serve the United States Air force for 20 years. This song was produced 1967

WHO’S LISTENING TO THIS MASTERPIECE IN NOVEMBER 2021? LET US KNOW.
I am. In the Hudson Valley, New York, US. It's beyond beautiful!
Me too from South Dorset, UK. Love the orchestral backing. Utterly Magnificent!
I am just listening to this song. Why?
Here from NW Tennessee just heard this on House
I'm listening to the best rock song ever in Vilnius, Lithuania
Rest in peace Gary Brooker. Your beautiful voice will never die.
I’m still listening in 2024,I’ll never get tired of this performance,beautiful!
Lord it so beautiful with a full orchestra. Thank you! I love this song. Who else is listening in 2023?
Me!
me
I will be listening in 2033, God willing.
I am... at 63 and have been since I was a little kid.
When i buy a new phone, I came here for testing.
I'm 21. A lot of people are commenting about how they grew up with this song, but I think it's important to know that young people, though we may not have the nostalgia, are still discovering great music like this from generations before us. Songs like this truly are timeless.
From a 74 year old thank you. There still is hope.
Welcome to proper music my young friend
well said
Hope never die as the times goes by. We must take it easy.🎈(from Jujuy,Argentina)
love,still miss and love him!
I’m soon to be 81 in 2024… still listening… don’t know for how long… but still loving it! ❤️
You have great taste.😊
i m 88
Happy birthday 🎈🎉 love your taste in music
Happy birthday! You will be a 100🎉and something in good health
Keep on keeping on.
Yes i am still listening to this epic song in 2024
I'm 60 and the creativity and pieces that we see. It is so beautiful. ❤❤ Wherever you are.
Nothing more beautiful
I'm kinda sad that I'm getting old now but Holy shit boys and girls we had the finest music in our youth. Would not trade that for anything.
You got that right! I'm 67 and that comment nails it!
Same here. I'm 72 and aging sucks, but I'm so glad I was there for all the great music of the 60's and 70's.
We sure did! I’m 71 and so many songs from the 50s, 60s or 70s always brings back memories from a moment in time.
I'm 70 years old myself. Scatological language aside, I couldn't agree more. By the way, I heard it through the grapevine that Mr. Brown has got a lovely daughter. Or it could be the Mrs. At my age, the hearing is about shot. I heard it over and over and over again, but the Beltone is in bits and pieces. I'll stop now (in the name of love).
I'm 67 and the sentiment is the same! From Rome, Italy
I just listened to this. I am 71 now and my Wife is 62. Took my tablet downstairs and hooked it up to my stereo system. Asked my wife for a dance. Took her a minute to get up. We went downstairs put our arms around each other and swayed to the music.
Thank you for sharing. I am 63 and this still moves me. We had amazing music. Peace and happiness.
what a beautiful thing. keep at it . just now you two are back on the floor
You little darlings You!!! Giggle!
I"m 60.5! Good Luke!
I am 75, and this song still makes me weep. I can picture the two of you dancing together, just beautiful!
Als ich 20 Jahre alt war, hörte ich diesen Song zum ersten mal und er verfolgte mich das ganze Leben. Heute bin ich 75 Jahre alt und liebe diesen Song immer noch.
Hello friend, how are you doing today
Since I was 17 years old and today at 52 I still enjoy this beautiful song and of course wonderful voice. greetings from Mexico 😊
Ich bin kaum etwas jünger als sie und mag ebenfalls dieses Lied, besonders die Musik und die wunderschöne Stimme von Gary Brooker + der von uns gegangen ist. RIP.
2024 71 years old .tears in my eyes.where did the time go
I am born 1953, the same year as you. I wish you the best for your future.
Love this song and group! I'm 76 and I listen at least 7-10 a month. My husband passed in 2020 and this was our song. He died from dementia, but he recognized this song as ours till the day he died. We were 18 and so in love,still miss and love him!
😥
May his sweet memories comfort you.
Sei grande! Tuo marito ha avuto la fortuna di avere una donna grande!
Wow a lifetime of love, how incredible ❤
I'm sorry for your loss but you still have your memories and that beautiful song that was your and his .
74 now and still love this song in 2024
Hi David, how are you doing today
I'm almost 72. An all-time great song. ❤❤
2024 I'm still listening to it, anyone else?
Of course ,the most beautiful version of this song .
Yessss
This was when music was an art. So glad that I'm from this time.
Me too❤
Yes! What a lovely song❤
I’m listening again in February 2024. It’s heartbreakingly beautiful.
AMEN BROTHER. I was born in May ‘55.
It's very good with the orchestra
Me too, was Born in 1956
Still amazing and haunting on 3/1/24. As it will always be.
@@mannya.6163 I was not born when the band released the song. And I didn’t hear until the Big Chill came out in the early 80s. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve listened since. I bought the soundtrack back then and I’ve probably listened thousands of times. This performance is just next level amazing to me. So haunting and beautiful.
How come you can listen to this song a million times and still get teary eyed and emotional. Memories flood in, tears flood out! Music “back in the day” was “BEST OF THE BEST”. It’s 2024, I’m not 67 and it’s a large pill to swallow. Where did our time go? Oh to be back in the day!
❤
@@lindapearcr3138 This song was timeless and "old" the day it first played on the air.
Has the same effect on me after all these years. Memories of my bachelor days.
It touches my heart and soul every time, I'm writing this tears streaming.
Because it's a masterpiece!
one of the best live perfomance in music history
Agreed…The Best Ever. Nothing compares.
Im 66 and still listening . one of the greatest song I have ever heard. love it so much
i just wanna let Mr. Brooker know that people in 2021 are still listening to this masterpiece.
it was a mystical song when it came out...and in some ways it still is.. beautiful stuff.
I'll listen ...it is one of my favorite song
Music composed by Gary - lyrics written by Keith Reid ...
Yes, of course!
😘
I am 95 and this still brings tears to my eyes
Let me know when you're 110 years old and this brings tears to your eyes! :)) I'll be waiting :)
Imperishable music, tears are all included! Be rich in your heart and enjoy every moment of happyness, with great love from Holland, Oebele ✌🏼❤
i am 225 and still listen to this
Same at 79
No offence. You will soon be free. Bless you. I am still waiting
I'm getting old.
This song never gets old.
Indeed...., and absolutely agree 😊
Me too
What a privilege these folks had to hear this in person. Stunning. Still listening in 2024!
Listening at age 71 in February 2024. One of my all time favorite. I have the original album. You never forget these words, it’s like yesterday!
❤
I had my first close dance with a guy with this song. Brings back many memories!!!
I cannot u still have this on Vinyl so do I , I listen to this recording often it is so Amazing with orchestra , There is no music today that can maatch the 60,s , 70,s , and part of eighty's , I sometimes I wish 18 again and in my college days !! ??
How I long for those days....71 now, where did the time go??
its not ending. rather a begining. amen brother
The year was 1967 when this was released. The year I met and married my beloved Mario. He passed away just 10 months ago after being ravaged by Alzheimer's disease. This was our song...always played on every anniversary 50 in total. I found a beautiful orchestral version of it and had it played at the end of his funeral mass. It always tugs at my heart strings! I play it now to remember all the happy times. Beautiful!
Pamela Colombi Sorry for your loss :(
blessed you both, life as is own ways, but love is stronger than anything ..
I was born in 1967...
I hope the music gave you some comfort in the midst of your sadness.
Same here. Just last week this was the version to be the last song from 3 to be played at my father's funeral. He loved it and sang it really well himself. Love you dad more than words can describe. 😓
RIP Gary, thank you for this wonderful song.
This song is like wine, the older, the better!!! Fantastic Song! 😍💙♥️
"What a beautiful song" --1967
"What a beautiful song" --2019
"What a beautiful song"--3050
Exactly
This is what eternity sounds like. Take this masterpiece into your soul. Allow it to remind you what forever will be.
Saludos estás en lo cierto
Yes a beautiful song in 3050, but will mankind exist so long ?
In the year 2525.. Zagar and Evans
If you are listening to this song. Let me tell you. You have an excellent taste of music. You can consider yourself a friend of mine. Blessings from LA 🙏🙏🙏
Greetings from UK Ramiro.....I listen to this song a lot.....it’s simply perfect ...those people in that crowd that day witnessed perfection
Greetings Ramiro from the west coast of Ireland. Music doesn't get any better than this.
@@billymerriman2620 thanks blessings from LA 🙏🙏🙏
I played this song so many times from trying to learn the drums. And still, the song never gets old.
I am listening and my heart is breaking! This is too much! I was 14 when I listened to this for the first time in my life!
I could never sleep until I heard it at 2am, on Radio Luxembourg. no wonder I never went to school until the next day. But I did and always fell asleep.
He’s older but this is their best version of this song, love it
Almost 64 and still listening.. and loving it
Born in 1957 about to turn 67 even in the early acid days didn't make sense of the lyrics and now as an older man still don't make sense of the lyrics yet this song is part of my soul. Every time it comes up on my playlist, I think there must be 1 million people that feel like me
Born in 1957 as well. I’m one of those million people that feel like you!
❤ yes!!!
Finally got it.listen very careful.
It weaves through.but is very clear.the story.
I would think there are billions of us ❤❤❤❤
@@RLS424 Always seemed pretty obvious to me!
I have been a professional performer and studio recordist for over 40 years and whoever was responsible for this mix deserves, in my opinion, an award for such an outstanding master. Clamp on some top quality cans and you can hear every instrument. Just superb - and so was the brilliant meld of orchestra, choir, and pop. I am so glad I have livged through this musical time.
I agree. With my headphones or iPods it just sounds utterly stunning!
I use headphones every night and listen to good quality music like this. I grew up in the 60's
@@southparklimo me too. Graduated in 68. I saw a neon sign that read “No Music...No Life.” I wish I had it.!
@@southparklimo At the moment “Hard Day’s Night” is on TV. I can remember going to the picture show and being beside myself. So in love with those boys!
@@virginiaknighten4687 Oh yeah, most girls were. All of those Beatles and Rolling Stones concerts were the beginning of Rock and Roll and many bands eveolved after that, And I bought many of those albums
i first heard this song in 1967, it only gets better with age!!!
What a precious memory. Rest in Peace Gary Brooker and thank you for such memories.
Dear Lord we were lucky to have some of the best musicians on the planet in our lifetime. Still listening after all these years..
Amen Amen!
Yes, amen...
Amen !
True!!!
Yes true for me in Australia as well. I am now 73 and still listening but comes with tears now. Good tears!
2021 and still here !!! Who's with me ?
Yup same here. Love this version. Happy New Year.
1-4 -21 right with ya.
You will never walk alone Tim Terry. Vocal, harmony, organ solo, drum rolls, orchestra man what better song do you need than this.
One of the best songs. 1/14/21
Yep, Toddy from Perth Western Australia is listening....
yes...April 2024 ...beau tiful... 88 here ...still stunning
76 and still loving all the music I grew up with.. We most definitely had the best music ever. And this is just a sample of what I consider one of the best songs of my generation.
What a superb rendition. Rest in sweet peace Gary Brooker..
I am in tears after reading all these comments! We are not that different and why can’t we have peace on earth! Thank you so much Mr. Brooker! RIP!🙏🙏🙏❤️
Je to tím, že dnešní většina mládeže je zmatená. Možná záleží na generacích, které zažily skutečnou přirozenou lásku, která má spoustu podob, aby v současné mladé generaci tu skutečnou lásku k bližnímu a skutečný soucit a respekt, to vše postavené na intuici obnovily/probudily.
Kéž všechny bytosti myslí srdcem.

Free mason's legacy ...

This group were Freemasons and totally dedicated to God. I think it’s what connects us all, young and old.
Listening to this in January 2024- this beautiful piece of music has been with me throughout my life. I love it more than I ever did😍😍😍😍
Think all us boomers will have a lump in our throat listening to this , so many great memories of our teenage years
Listening right now.
I understand. I was a baby when it was first recorded. I fell in love with it the first time I heard it. But that wasn’t until I got into music as a teenager.
@@garyevans5533my senior year of high school 😢
me too❤
Still listening in 2024.
I'm sorry to hear of his passing in 2022.
Have to come back regularly and appreciate this masterful performance. One of the greatest songs ever … timeless!
2024. Can't believe he's gone 2 years this Feb 19.
Love you Gary and this beautiful song. Always will.
Rest well, you genius. 🌹
Hey Liz, know what you mean, 'she said there is no reason' but we have to go on. Garry.....
I am so grateful to have been born mid 50's cause the best music was written and performed in the 50's, 60's. and 70's....a bit of the 80's!!
So true.
Totally agree 💪🍾🥂🚀
Seems like only yesterday but a life time ago - gone in the blink of an eye
Me too!
I was born in 69 and still love the music from those decades plus the 90’s and early 2000’s it’s now I’m kinda not impressed with at all!!
I sure am listening and crying , reminds me of my wedding, 1967 😢lovely memories .
My husband is RIP.
One of the most, if not the most, iconic and moving legacy performances ever filmed and recorded. I was in the music business for a long time and I’ve seen a lot of amazing performances. This is on another level.
Yep. I can say so more. I have listened to a lot of live music in my life. This has to be the best ever recorded, out of all genres. I only wish I had been there.
The comments on this are so deeply touching I know I am among friends I haven’t met.
That's Profound~!!
You are right, David! Greetings from good old Germany!
Greetings from South Africa, friend.
I guess it was Lennon that got the question if there was any song that inspired him. And he answered A whiter Shade of Pale.
Greetings from Thailand
Yes you are greetings from the great state of Texas.
A man of my age 73 shouldn’t be crying as I am right! Life has went by at such a fast pace! I missed some of the excitement but I have enjoyed so much great music! This one is right up there with the top.
R.I.P. Gary. Your song will never die
🥺
Good for you you have a great ear for music Almost the same age you and I getting there anyways !! Lol
This song will register in our consciousness, transcending, time, and physical body!
If I can cry over the oldies at age 73 so can you. Go to town and give it hell.
Dear one….I’m 72….I saw them at Fiddler’s Green in Denver….probably in 1983……so much more intense in person…grabs your heart and gut….even if you don’t take the time to understand the lyric’s story…..but , it’s a very interesting story.❤️🙏
How can Gary not start crying hearing his own song being played so beautifully all these years later
i am listening May 2024
June here
Cris listening June 2024
Me too ♥️♥️
How is it possible for Gary Brooker's voice to be this good at this age? This is a perfect song. So good.
That's what I always wondered of! Until his last few months, he performed this song as exactly as it was performed in 1967! genius!!
He looks old for his age, but he is only 61 here. Many musicians are still perfoming well at that age. Actors even better. Liam Neeson was older than Gary here when he was doing Taken 3 and a lot of other action movies. Sometimes age is really just a number.
❤
He's a example of a Rolls Royce or fine wine!
good vocalist when get older get rasp and bit darker voice , which add the "experience" listening their music
ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME! WHO IS STILL LISTENING TO THE GOOD STUFF IN 2023? 💜👍😊
This is one of the most beautiful songs and Gary Brooker has an incredible voice. The Hammond B3 will never be replaced by any other sound. I listen to this at least once a week. LOVE IT SO MUCH.
Robbie I couldn't agree with you more. Definitely the greatest song ever made followed by knights in white satin by the moody blues.
James from Texas!
I’m with you...My hands-down all time favorite.
Intemporal song ❤❤❤
Going through my cosmic library of timeless urban hymns!!. What a performance, this was!! May 2024🏴
83 years old and love hearing these classic songs. Nothing like this today.
Hello friend, how are you doing today
Listening to it in 2023 and it's as sweet as it ever was. Rest in peace Gary Brooker. So many legends have passed on without anyone to replace them.
And today's music mostly sucks. None like this masterpiece.
They are legends because they can not be replaced
4:05 Me a 64 years young lady love this song. My generation is blessed to had artists that have reached down in their souls to perform from their hearts.
Geweldig
One of the best from the '60s. Never gets old and orchestral arrangement is thrilling.
Hi Erick, how are you doing today
Any one will continue listening in 2025 ?
Yes I will forever
Of course.
Naw 🎉🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢😮😮
If I am still alive in 2025 and healthy, I will continue listening this beautiful song.
Yes, if we are still alive. I hope it will be so, because I am not so young. Born in the 50 ies.😍
I'm 65 almost 66 and I play this song more than a few times a year. It breaks my heart and makes me cry. I never tire of it.
I am at the same age.
This song was the last song that I fell in love right after hearing it. My beloved song started with Supper Bird, I was just started to learn Eng, from this you should have known that I was from non English back ground. The music ( super bird) caught me, plus I could understand most of the lyrics, I like it so much so I went to buy the translated songs book to learn more about this song. I have couples more songs in my memory, but to make it shorter I have to go straight to this song. I move to Australia in 1995 when I heard this song , the instrument version, for the first time. It was the sound of Organ that struck me, then I searched for the song and listened to the regular song with the lyrics. I learn more English from this song😂😂😂. I love it until now, never get bore listening to.
My father died last christmas after a horrible time of sufferring Alzheimer. One of the songs during the cremation was this one on my request. It was fantastic and quiet a relief. Listening again; tears comin' to my eyes. Bye dad.
I'm so sorry, it's a hard loss.
😢❤
Sorry for your loss. It’s a kick in the teeth. I thought I was ready, but even knowing how it would end I was incredibly ill prepared. Dementia, Alzheimer’s…what ever form it takes steals whatever time you thought you would have with your father. Now I worry if it comes for me.
I’m so sorry my friend for your loss and I know your Dad isn’t gone he’s still with you every day and my mom just passed a couple of years ago with similar issues my father as well and I have to believe that they are with God and that they are not suffering anymore 😢😢😢sending prayers for you and your family and the peace that surpasses all understanding 👍🙏😇❤️
I recently told my son I wanted this song played at my funeral. Sorry for your loss.
Me I am 80 my husband I passed 5 months ago this was his music and the classics I missed enjoy enjoy your every day I just have memories thanks ❤
68 years old and watch it many times each year and I fixing to watch again
93 million views.
Even with the Beatles and the Stones this is possibly the greatest song of the 60’s.
What a voice…RIP Gary Brooker 😢
Nearly 95 million. Magnificent
Best song of all time
Without a doubt, Unchained Melody dropped a lot more panties,,,
ruclips.net/video/GMkmQlfOJDk/видео.html or the 18th century
95 million now
I swear this is one of the best live performances of any song ever recorded.
Totally agree with you.
Have a listen to reflections of my life by dean ford produced by Joe tansin.
Totally stripped back bring tears to me n I'm 54 years old.
ano, je to vzácný prostor potkání se s krásou
Yes very powerful
It is...definitely is
I agree! From Brazil.
Just stunning, beautiful orchestration and powerful vocal from Gary Brooker. Made me quite emotional.
I'll be 61 in a couple of months. It's STILL one of my favourite tunes.
Good luck to all who appreciate this fantastic song
One of the greatest live performances I’ve ever heard.
Yes. This is something special.
One of the best live performances... he was wonderful ❤️
Brings me to tears as he voice sounded just as wonderful as the earliest music videos. So moving: the lyrics, music & Gary's voice. ❤😢 RIP
without a doubt
Always liked this song, but as I age it held much more meaning to me. No sure why,why, It makes me think of all of my family and friends who have passed . To me it is one of the greatest songs of all time. RIP Mr. Brooker...
Not ashamed to admit this version caused me to shed a few tears. Absoulutely magnificent.
Da bin ich absolut bei Dir !!! Einfach wunderschön!!!
I get goosebumps watching it, it is so touching and bring back good times.
This performance could break toughest heart,its beyond words, beautiful.
Always be the best,Bach would so love it.
This is right up there with Levon’s performance during _The Last Waltz_
39 having a mid life fork in the road moment thinking I’d get lost in some nostalgia and put my phone down for a few hours. These songs bring me back to childhood sunny weekend mornings.
73 yrs for me and this definitely makes me go back….
Still listening in Oct. 2022. Such a beautiful rendition!!! Didn't think it was possible to improve this song! He sounds incredible! Brings me to tears!!!
Me too your grace!
Same here!!!💕💕💕💕
It is absolutely stunning!
Same here
Me as well.
What a performance, what a song, and what a voice.....R.I.P Gary Brooker ❤
The man could sure sing .no tech tricks like today's rubbish .On tour singers dont sing live they use backing tracks .FAKE CAUSE IT IS ...
Greatest song ever rip Gary play this song weekly ❤😢
@@gregghawkins4397 😁
Theorgan makes a great difference, Beautiful.
Me i never get tired of these beautiful music, my husband and I enjoyed listening, my husband recently passed, I'am listening now to this beautiful song!
I’m 57 listening April 2024 while traveling in Spain. I knew the song growing up but for some reason it’s really resonating with me these days. So soulful, sad lyrics, great instrumental composition and melodic voice. Peace everyone. Live big, love even bigger.
No vocal correction software. No fake instruments or sounds. Just talent.
Actually, I think there is a vocal correction software on his voice here. At 2:56, it doesnt sound natural - you can hear the autotune/correction in action when he sings "pale".
I thought it was fully live too until I listened a little closer.
Fabulous
my next cover : check it out !
I guess you could call that old organ sort of fake? as in electronic. Amazing they still have it :-) to make that original sound. But an amazing performance indeed.
agree, from indonesia....favo...bali
I was 16 years old the first time I heard this masterpiece. Tonight I`m celebrating my 71th birthday and found this version. I´m in heaven, what an outstanding version.......
Happy Birthday to you.
I'm 64 and I feel you.
@@junesanders463 Thank You June. I don´t like being an oldie. In my brain I`m still an hippie with long hair floating in the wind. Peace & Love
Happy birthday !
@@mariahurley6 Hi, thanks a lot!
Hang in there my brother
Saw in covert once. They are amazing. Im 63. Been listening to them 2024❤
How awesome the orchestra! It does add a lot to this classic song! It gives me chills.
1967 , I was 29 and my oldest daughter was just born, when I heard for the first time this song. I said to my dear wife "Love this is one for eternity". I wish I could say it to her again in 2021, but she passed away in 2017. I thank God we were 55 years together.
Really is music stayed for eternity,I heard this song for the first time was 15 years old and love was fulminant
My son was born in June 1967, and this will always be his song. A wonderful memory.
she knows
I am sooo sorry for you loosing your dear wife!! It s a pity and I hope that you have overcome your deep sorror. Sorry, I am German and my Englisch isn' t perfect. You know what I mean. I cant say how deep it is in my feelings that you have lost somebody special. Es tut mir so leid. Greetings from North of Germany
God bless you!! I too lost my sweet daughter ❤ in 2017 December 23 2017. Unfortunately she got lost in big Pharma..
28th September 1983. I danced with the love of my life to this song, just the two of us, 5am, as a night club closed in Mallorca. We were both young and after a year together, we went our own ways for 25 years. Early 2008, and recently divorced, I heard this on the radio so sent her a message through social media. She was recently divorced. We've been together ever since. The power of a single song can last a lifetime.
Congratulations to you both. Beautiful story.
Doing actions as well
Oh my God, congrats. to you, both. And I hope you two live together forever with only happiness~
THIS IS AWESOME!! CONGRATS!
Such a story is so beautiful. 😍
Yes, Nancy from Texas. Just received 173 45’s from my older brother and this was the FIRST song I played. He sent me this!!
Thank you U TUBE can't tell how much meant to me and family was played at my dad's funeral to see with full orchestrated music meant so much. Millions thanks.
As we get older ( I am 73), a little piece of each of us dies with the passing of those who have shaped who we are and what we turned out to be. Gary Brooker is one of my 'shapers', and I am eternally grateful for his shaping. I saw Procol Harum at the Eastbourne Festibal in1973/4, along with Yehudi Menuhin and Victoria de los Angeles, and I will always treasure all of those memories. Thank you, my friend, for what your music has done for all of us - you have made our lives sing.
Great story. I was only 13 yrs old back in 1968, when this was a hit. I loved it and still do. I lived by radio just to hear this song... there in the Hills of West Virginia, USA. Gary will be missed, One of the Best
Im 64 and LOVED IT WHEN IT CAME OU!!!

I too was shaped by this wonderful music. I know how you feel...patricia
@@usmc-veteran7316 Semper Fi, Marine. I'm a few years younger than you but the music of Gary Brooker and Procol Harum still warms my heart. May he rest in peace.
It’s late August 2023 and I am listening to this masterpiece, I don’t know why but tears fill my eyes each time hear it ❤❤❤
I share the same feelings!
YEP, welcome to the beauty.
Indah, syahdu dan ada rasa sedih yg berat
Of course they are, that’s the beauty of the song.
I feel the same. This is a masterpiece. I play this for my friends after they play dubstep and rap but they always tell me thank you for this after hearing it.
I'm 53 but grew up listening to the 60s this song is without doubt my favourite song of all time,this version just takes it to another level absolutely mesmerising and beautiful with the orchestra,I listen to it nearly every day,,this will be my final song the day I'm laid to rest,just wished they had released this beautiful version ❤
My favorite rendition of this! I bought it online many years before RUclips. On a mp3 player. Then years later I accidentally found my biological Father and we got to know each other. Found out this was also HIS favorite too. 🥰 that’s genetics! I only had nine years and nine months with him from another state but I played this for him over the phone many times when he was stuck in the nursing home. I miss him so much and am bawling my eyes out every time I play this video. But it is a wonderful memory with my Father. 💔❤️🩹
He was a pure genius, such a moving singer and a truly innovative composer in rock music! RIP Gary Brooker!
This song brings back so many happy memories of a time period, which will never come back. Rip Gary
My word! He still had the pipes in that video! Wished I could have been there.
Outstanding Mr Brooker!
Cancer is such a bitch. Took him way to soon….
You know when you didn’t grow up in an in an era and then you kind of get it.
It isn't very often that I am moved to tears at the news of the death of a complete stranger. The news of Gary Brooker's passing was definitely the exception. For 50 years I've loved that voice....and all of the music of Procal Harem. Such an incredible musician. It's sadly very unlikely that we will ever hear the likes of Gary and Procol Harum's music ever again. Truly original in every respect. RIP Mr Brooker.
great song, but you did know that it was based on Bach's Air ? He even admitted to that
Still listening to this song in 2023 ! Thank you so much for this musical Masterpiece !🌺💖🌼
I'm 78, still listening. Great music never gets old.
There’s something surreal about this performance. Between the circus tent stage, idyllic scenery, the string instruments, heavenly vocals of the chorus; and of course, Gary singing from the depths of his soul!
Actually the tent looks like a King on an outing to defend his people
I'm 63 and I feel blessed to have lived in a time when music was art and when people didn't stop living for fear of dying.
I'm 56 and you are absolute right ! ❤
I’m 63 too my friend. Share your sentiments exactly.
Very good! My job took me to 82 different countries, 1/2 of which tourists were not a priority. Also, I'm old enough to really appreciate that fact that I lived during a time..."when people didn't stop living for fear of dying"☆
.
It’s still art, believe.
Lucky we all got beyond 27 x
It’s very difficult to find the words to describe this superlatives performance of the classic song. The original version is great, but this version with orchestra and choir, and the added classical segment, is just off the scale. This is the kind of great music that spans generations and genres. This is a once in a lifetime experience. A brilliant masterpiece!
Such an awesome comment…the song is from my Senior year in High School…What a beautiful memory.
Once in a lifetime is perfect. Truly a world class performance!
I first heard this song when I was 17, I'm about to turn 66. Peace.
I agree
A stroke of genius
When I say it reminds me of my wedding , my husband and I danced to it regularly on our honeymoon , and whenever we heard it thereafter until he passed in 2022, I have asked my family when I pass I would like it at mine .
Perfect 6 minutes of escapeism during the 2020 lockdown. Just the tonic.
That music is sublimely outstanding. A dream. Cheers
Kenny Rogers died a month ago. Must've been Covid.
a time from society that will never happen again
well said
Alan Black ; ANYTIME is right with me for this....an absolutely riveting version bolstered by the power of a choir....SO GOOD.
Nothing compares today, this is pure magic.
Yes indeed ...Gary, the performance of the orchestra and the entire concert
@@Man_at_work3775 yes it was awesome
Not true, we have martin garrix, we have david guetta, etc. maybe not the same style of music but much better imo
His voice is as clear as it was when this was first recorded! Amazing to say the least. Love it!
@You have to live it How can you compare this to David Guetta? Are you ok?
