I appreciate this, however it is a shame we will never see or hear this flawless man and his group perform again. Best to the Brooker family, I am so sorry for your loss.
Being old, I've seen every northeast U.S. concert they've done since the days of the Fillmore East, Central Park and their 1977 (original) final show at the Capitol Theatre. The best band ever! Whitehorn is great, Pegg is their best bass player and though we all miss B.J. (best rock drummer ever) this guy came along nicely after an initially rough start. About The Commander, he's a genius with the best voice ever. Last saw them in NYC 4 years ago and it was fantastic! Long live Procol!
What a great show !!! Having seen Procol Harum several times in NYC in the early seventies I never thought they could be that good again. I m so happy to be proven wrong. Each band member really brings it ( though I miss BJ Wilson to this day).
REST IN PEACE, GARY! GIVE MY VERY BEST REGARDS TO B.J.! SOONER OR LATER I´LL GREET YOU BOTH IN HEAVEN. THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR DECADES OF SO ELEGANT ROCK MUSIC!
cada vez que encuentro un video de conciertos de Procul Harum a lo largo de los años me emociono muchísimo. Tengo 69 años. Un enorme abrazo desde Argentina.
Nossa. Meu coração está muito entristecido com essa notícia. Essa voz marcou minha vida. R.I.P. (19.02.2022) Gary Brooker. I Love You. I Love Procol Harum. Forever😭😭😭
Wow this is amazing! Confusion Reigns! Gary in great form his wonderful voice along with the organ players interjections most notably accepted in my ears

Wow!!! Great video!! Thanks so much. The great, irreplaceable Matthew Fisher who brings the full sound and expertise that no one else could bring, a great concert, and another verse of Whiter Shade of Pale that I've never heard. What more could one ask? Nothing. Perfect!
Matthew always sounds different from most organists, as he doesn't use the Hammond B-3, but a Hammond M-102, which has a much different sound. Also, I think Geoff Whitehorn has become the greatest PH guitarist, as he adds tasteful guitar parts that other PH guitarists sat out on, but he never overplays. He's courageous in his use of the guitar on keyboard-dominated songs.
SO, you actually think that Geoff W having listened to the REAL Procol Harum, strumming along here & there 30-plus years later, makes him a better guitarist for the band Procol Harum, than Robin Trower creating the music with the ACTUAL BAND???!!?!??

This line-up sounds fantastic, when I heard the guitarist come in I thought it was the LP for a second, the bass and drums are tops (no one's ever going to be another BJ, but Mark was great here) I'm sorry I don't know this bassist? Matthew Fisher can always be recognised immediately, he's a magical organist! Thanks for posting Paul W!
охренеть недешёвое небось удовольствие..... какой кайф побывать на прокол харуме! две трети присутствующих там, наверное, даже не вполне осознают, насколько великий Артист старается для них...
The drummer is no B.J. Wilson and that's evident on "Nothing But the Truth." He's a good, adequate drummer but, it goes to show the difference between a good performance drummer and a creatively insane and inventive genius on the skins. That's what BJ Wilson was -- just listen to the original recording and you will hear it. "Nothing But the Truth," was a percussive masterpiece on the lp "Exotic Birds and Fruit." On "Grand Hotel" the drummer inserts rolls in inappropriate places. It's a classical piece, not a military march. Just sounds like too many rolls. He does redeem himself on "Salty Dog." This live version of "Grand Hotel" sounds way too strained. Lead guitarist (Geoff Whitehorn) still sounds out of place compared to Mick Grabham's solo on the original that soared with brilliance. Whitehorn has since come a long way since 2001. On the new lp "Novum" he is quite excellent.
Be fair to Mark John. BJ didn't always hit the right spots in live perfomance. Agree his Grand Hotel album was faultless in the studio. Hard for all the succeedig musicians to faithfully reproduce the master recordings. Glad you mentioned Novum which allows the current band to lay down their master versions (brilliantly)

RIP Gary! Your music lives on ! Thanks for a half of century of excitement!
The most elegant rock band ever. Totally different from others. Procolholics of all the world, unite!
It's so true,I saw them with an orchestra in Wuppertal,Germany.
Agree.English gentlemen. The epitome 😭
.. and Harum Heads too!
プロコル・ハルムを再び聴くようになって、なぜロックが好きなのかを考える直しました。ゲイリーが教えてくれました!!音楽を楽しむことを……。素晴らしい人間。
I appreciate this, however it is a shame we will never see or hear this flawless man and his group perform again. Best to the Brooker family, I am so sorry for your loss.
It IS sad to know there won't be any new music from them. Their last album "Novum" was a triumph.
Salty Dog is one of my favourite songs.
RestInParadise Gary Brooker ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ I can listen to his voice all day, every day!

Gary Brooker always poured his soul into his music.

The long version of Whiter Shade is always fantastic to hear.
It was our wedding song.
My peruvian wife felt in love with this beautiful song.
Even our 10 year old son loves it.

Cantor e compositor de verdade e uma ótima banda ,descanse em Paz amigo Gari Brooker ✨
A creative insane and inventive GENIUS on the skins :B J WILSON I agree (and miss him)
B J Wilson, the octopus in the bathtub
Not B J Wilson here. Mark Brzezicki formerly of Big Country.

Whiter Shade of Pale with extra verses!! Great song!! Gary's voice sounds great.
Thx!
Please could everybody mention its favourite song below?
Wow!!! Great video!! Thanks so much. The great, irreplaceable Matthew Fisher who brings the full sound and expertise that no one else could bring, a great concert, and another verse of Whiter Shade of Pale that I've never heard. What more could one ask? Nothing. Perfect!
I wasn't expecting much going in but this is excellent.
P H has a distinct sound that has always touched me . GREAT! Kenny from the BURG as n Pgh.
This is a great show, Procul Harum is so underrated. Thanks for posting this gem!!
Best Rock Band Ever
They're high brow , way over the taste level of average contemporary music
PH still sounded perfect in 2001 with Matthew Fisher on keyboards. Gary's voice looks like Joe Cocker.
Yep, I hear a little Joe Cocker in there too, his voice ages like leather!
Great Find. Thank you RIP MR BROOKER
Thank you for posting this,great to see procol being appreciated in Russia,how you found this I don't know but I'm so glad you did
Grandi come sempre. I love You 🌸🌼🥀
Procol harum rocks the kremlin!! With Matthew fisher, no less!

A young, slim Matt Pegg plays the bass, as he does today
Matt Pegg is on bass guitar
@@paulw2996 son of Dave Pegg of Fairport Convention
Agreed, especially concerning B.J. - the best, cleverest drummer of all times and styles...
@@DM1956x Clever is such a good word to describe BJ.
The great Gary Brooker...
His voice is still brilliant and pristine for his age. It's like a good wine.
have a look at the audience this fantastic perforemance totally over their heads
This sounds beautiful 😻.
You've got to wonder how much of PH music made it through the iron curtain in their heyday.
Fab Watching 2nd January 2021.❤️💜🌌☀️🌹
Wow.
PH sound cool live!
Это здорово!!!
MATTHEW FISHER GARY BROOKER ok!!!
Fantastic Live band.
Matthew Fisher is in the band! Too bad for all the subsequent ugliness. This, at least, is really good.
Ricordo ancora il mio passo giovane con il 45 giri di salty dove indimenticabile
Salty dog.... capolavoro
Rembrandt.....barock conquistadores......with one missing..b.j.wilson
TWO missing; B.J. Wilson AND Robin Trower!
Legendary all time great British band. It’s borrowing JS Bach descending bass line of the Air G that gives Whiter Shade of Pale immortality!
"My eunuch friend has been and gone..."
My first thought was ‘that looks like Paul Manafort in the thumbnail photo, sitting at that table.’ 😳
Great! I assume this was broadcast in Russia? Shame it's not a little better quality.
You can only do so much with vacuum tubes.
Великая группа выступает, в великом месте !!!
охренеть недешёвое небось удовольствие..... какой кайф побывать на прокол харуме! две трети присутствующих там, наверное, даже не вполне осознают, насколько великий Артист старается для них...
ломящиеся столы выглядят пошловато! Музыка Прокол Харум не подзастольная!
Gary sie'mpre te recordare'
Fue es y sera el grande
Absolutely best Procul Harem post ever. God bless Russia.
Not unless you learn to spell the band's name!
And Matthew.....
Whiskey Train rocks
Kagadus prokolumharumba
Gary Brooker used to be so handsome when he was young but always looked older than his age, pity, while Matthew Fisher kept his looks.
Fisher has always looked like a nerd and still does.
Такая группа, перед жрущими и пьющими жлобами !

Grand Hotel consist of a Viennese waltz waltz.
@@Chazthefurr it's an elegant piece in my opinion.
@@Chazthefurr it combines a waltz and Rock Music.
No BJ No Procol
Концерт в столовой?
Why tables there? Disgusting
Those Russian drinkers needed to put their drinks somewhere 😂😂😂😂😂
38:31
thank you
💙
Никак и Вован присутствует !
not the same without Robin Trower damn
45:38 more like what this crowd was looking for
that guitar player plays one cliche after another ad nauseum
sorry can't even listen to the ending
Эта аудитория (посмотрите на столики) не заслуживает этой музыки.
Бедолага, кто его заставил петь хуже, чем он может....в Москву не надо приезжать....весь шарм слетает моментально.
You are illy !!!!!
