A SALTY DOG - Procol Harum

[@TheCrabshaw1]

Had the extreme pleasure of driving PH around to gigs in Detroit in the late sixties and would like to thank whoever put this fine video together with one of the most moving songs that The Harum ever produced. Stunning work. Gary will be proud of your work.

[@MörkaSkog]

This song give me shivers - over and over and over again...

[@1966mybestyear]

This has haunted me since 1968/69 when my brother brought home the album. I loved Gary Brooker's sad voice since White shade of pale. This is beautiful. None of my friends got it, they still might not, but hey, my taste is perhaps more varied than most of my peers!

[@snooklefritzen]

God, I miss that time....

[@tjmpiano]

A band decades ahead of its time...

[@PhilM5306]

I personally knew one of the members of the band (Dave Knights - bassist) and I have always regarded this as one very great piece of music, anthemic,atmospheric- superb

[@Troubleshooter125]

How often could you say that a rock song was truly "evocative" ... of a time or a place or a feeling ... to the degree "A Salty Dog" is? Procol Harum did something special here, and recognition of that achievement is well-earned. A great song, and excellent work on the video, raze. Thank you.

[@Miki-gm7ct]

A beautiful piece of video, complimenting a superb song!

[@tomhits]

Painting pictures with words and music.....giving chills.....

[@rockman627]

GREAT JOB matching the visuals to the music. I'm amazed at how well these scenes illustrated one of my favorite pieces of music.

[@intune11001]

Gary Brookers voice is one of a kind.

[@Suttieslea]

favourite all time song. Yes 1969 was THE year

[@berlinsassin]

RIP Gary Brooker, thank you for the music.

[@faustello62]

i mitici ....l'aevo quasi dimenticata....è ancora attualissima è da ancora brividiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

[@maucastillo]

Amazing song. Amazing lyrics and voice. Amazing strings and drums. Amazing piano.

[@TheRunner75]

Everybody knows "A Whiter Shade of Pale" but this song is criminally unknown and underrated for a band who had such a hit. A true masterpiece with a great melody and arrangements.

[@claudiomerotto653]

nonostante gli anni ascoltarla...è sempre una toccante emozione...!

[@BrunoSecondo78]

Brano indimenticabile, entrato nella storia !

[@magarmendiaa]

Ningun baterista ha tocado como B.J. Wilson. Magistral e inolvidable. Manolo desde Houston, Texas

[@atlantideales]

che bella canzone,indimenticabile ,colora d'arcobaleno i miei ricordi rinnovandoli con gioia ... ciao

[@jeangounin9142]

un monument de la pop music et un immense groupe de rock

[@67rml]

We did not hear this gem as much as we should have, in 1969. Commercial AM radio was still wearing out A Whiter Shade Of Pale, as was required by the masses. Procol Harum released 9 superb albums but most people imagine that Whiter Shade was their only song. Pity!!

[@ariacurva]

La più bella, per me! Nata su una tessitura musicale di Gary Brooker e Matthew Fisher, con liriche del bravissimo Keith Reid. Capolavoro!

[@peachmelba16]

This song reminds me of my brother Paul. It was one of his favorites. He couldn't wait to play it for me. It is haunting in melody and words. I always think of him when I hear this.

[@jporcel100]

I've always love this song. Great job mixing with the video.

[@Fernandocatan]

This is by far one of the greatest songs of Procol Harum. I listened to it when I was fire and rediscovered it at the age of 22. A great masterpiece which will always be with me. Ciao. Fer

[@Glamagal20091]

This is my favourite from Procol Harum, without a doubt (Grand Hotel falls second). What a production! (Especially the ending). 1969 produced a lot of brilliant music and remains my personal favourite year.

[@grinreaperdutchphil]

Beautiful. beautiful, beautiful....

[@SuperPh13]

quelle composition de ce merveilleux Brooker !!!!!......

[@PhillipJohnsonZENOPHILE]

A beautiful song with a story, even my mom liked this one.

[@catsreturn]

Thank you for the wonderful images of the East-German navy. It sure brings back memories. Thank you very much.

[@1408wj]

Bez wątpienia, masz rację. 69 był najlepszym rokiem dla muzyki wogóle. No może jeszcze 70/71. Niech mi ktoś powie czy są teraz tacy którzy tak skomponują i zagrają? Ja sądzę że nie ma.

[@scoosty]

Gary Brookers vocals and arrainging are forever classic. Love it! Thanks for posting it.

[@Giuseppetotonetw]

Bellissimo Brano stupendi i Procul Harum ... !!!

[@kalulu52]

The best Procol Harum song in my opinion. A masterpiece in composicion using with great success harmonic devices not very common in rock music. Surely a song composed on piano. Love it!

[@DUGJPG]

This has to be one of my most favorite songs, and one of my most favorite videos on youtube

[@AlfredoMarcel]

Greatest video of the song Thanks

[@snookie60100]

Powerful job done by you , man , around this beautiful Movie an my favourite actor , Anthony Hopkins - congratulations !

[@tallestbeauty]

1969 the year that changed the course of life.

[@MrHelena25]

I must say that of all "home-made" videos of this kind, this is very musical and well done. Thank you, great job with pictures and sound. Really enjoyable!

[@bittersweetsaraX]

Thank you for introducing me to this masterpiece only a few months ago Linda

[@voodoocan4]

My favorite by these guys..massively under rated.

[@yankeephil1]

Salty Dog is about the old sailship days when they navigated by the stars and had no radio to call someone for advice or help, Space is empty for the most part whereas the sea is full of surprises and distances are measured in miles not lightyears, something the human mind can actually comprehend,,,and fear.

[@frontosa15]

i was one year old, this is a great song.

[@MaryAClark1]

One of my favorite songs. They were great in concert circa 1970 NY Flushing Meadow.

[@BrunoSecondo78]

Verissimo BelMauro, ciao grazie infinite.

[@mikevandervegt]

song is great, when i saw this vid i looked up the movie and it was near perfect.

[@fawlty07]

An all time great. Still takes my breath away

[@3conor]

The best song on a super album. I remember listening to it in Viet Nam in 1969.

[@punditpete]

oh this is magical,truly magical,superb !

[@elioivaldopassaro]

questa è musica!!!!! E' una lirica moderna originalissima.

[@skyrunnertrail]

[@Fernandocatan]

This is and will always be my favourite song!!

[@peterzang]

Genius band...a bit lost in Time and NICE JOB on the video dude

[@kingskid4real]

agreed ... saw them do this at Toad's Place in New Haven in the '80s, amazing ... the only downside was the loud drunk yelling for "Whiskey Train" the whole show, he didn't get his wish

[@joe44850]

[@vitornoel13]

belissima musica! galo doido!

[@7Samadhi777]

Lyrics All hands on deck, we've run a float, I heard the Captain cry. Explore the ship, replace the cook, Let no one leave alive. Across the straits, around the horn, How far can sailors fly? A twisted path, our tortured course, And no one left alive. We sailed for parts unknown to man, Where ships come home to die. No lofty peak, nor fortress bold, Could match our captain's eye. Upon the seventh seasick day, We made our port of call. A sand so white, and sea so blue, No mortal place at all. We fired the guns, and burned the mast, And rowed from ship to shore. The captain cried, we sailors wept, Our tears were tears of joy! Now many moons and many Junes, Have passed since we made land. A Salty Dog, the seaman's log, Your witness, my own hand. Songwriters: Gary Brooker / Keith Reid

[@BrunoSecondo78]

Senza esagerazione di sorta , oserei dire che questo brano davvero "unico" è entrato nella storia ...

[@brunobarbieri9324]

direi proprio di si ! buona serata bruno secondosettantotto

[@BrunoSecondo78]

Bruno Barbieri ciao e grazie professore, ma toglimi una curiosità Bruno, che materia insegnavi ?

[@brunobarbieri9324]

matematica applicata al movimento hiohihih

[@BrunoSecondo78]

Bruno Barbieri porca miseria (perdonami l'esclamazione), una materia bella tosta, ma fondamentale !

[@brunobarbieri9324]

bruno secondosettantotto diciamo più movimento che matematica la matematica ci serviva x tenere i punti! ahahahaha Scienze motorie e sportive in tre parole di attualità SMS

[@watchingtelly]

And if you're familiar with Grand Hotel, you must know A Rum Tale - one of my fave Procul Harum songs. I still think Quite Rightly So is one of the best songs ever written, and Shine on Brightly is one of the few perfect albums in this world. As is Pandelerium by the Legendary Shack Shakers, and Toxicity by System of a Down.

[@BrunoSecondo78]

Grazie infinite Gabriele ,ciaoooo

[@caesarmtnmama]

Amazingly you only hear "A Salty Dog" one time...1969 WAS the year that was.....

[@snookie60100]

totally aggreeing with you The runner75

[@BrunoSecondo78]

INDIMENTICABILE !!!

Mitico brano degli anni '70, mi ricordo che era la sigla di una trasmissione televisiva di cui purtroppo non ricordo il nome,che forse si chiamava "ai confini della realtà"...Se qualcuno si ricorda me lo confermi.Grazie

@Glamagal20091 So for me 1969 was the best year in music production.

[@clarinetplayer56]

this song is almost sad sounding.

[@peterzang]

Genius band...a bit lost in Time

[@omnomchomsky]

I'm not contesting the trials of sailors from a previous age and the perils they face. To travel into space, and I don't mean lower Earth orbit but to some destination past the moon. That's a trip where the odds of getting back home are very much next to nothing. There are things in space that are truly unfathomable. Whoever first makes it to the next star is anything but a sissy.I bet they won't make it to the next star and back and I bet they'll know it.

[@JoggynSmyler]

Really one of the best songs of All time! tell everyone! enjoy "Joggyn Smyler" music & Videos
