No voice enhancements, no instrument enhancements, this is live, this is stunning singing, this is stunning musicianship, this is real, this is brilliant and this is MUSIC at its best.

[@arturoromero951]

I’m pretty sure there were still some enhancements they made like microphones to get different parts of the orchestra so that the music doesn’t drown out any other parts, but this was a beautiful performance nonetheless.

[@lisawall3386]

@@arturoromero951 I'm sure there's a mixing board somewhere.

[@deadlyredly1]

Mate, couldn't agree more. If this was one word, that word would either be "beautiful" or "perfection"

[@deadlyredly1]

@@arturoromero951 Mixing is not "enhancement" though - it's purely making sure everything is heard at the right levels. There was no processing that enhanced the sound - that was the nature of the original post here.

[@ejb5034]

@@arturoromero951 By "enhancement" I believe the commenter meant no autotune and no synthesizers.

Gary Brooker was 61 years old when he did this performance. Outstanding - he's Brilliant!

[@ronaldcardinali2809]

Procol harum is the name of the band and the lead vocalist name is Gary Brooker, and this original song they recorded in 1967, and you must watch even that original video version too of the 67. Ronny

[@lorih4607]

Absolutely agree! Needs to watch/listen to the original! This song was also in one of the greatest movie sound tracks (IMO) The Big Chill. This tho is beyond beautiful!

Truth and wisdom!!you are so very right...white keys,black keys... Together create beautiful music that touches the soul and transends bounderies,color,and differences.music is the one thing that can reach everyone universally. Brings people together...can bring peace...can bring love.why can't we be more like a piano???!?

Leo, this song was 40 years old in this version, and may be better than the original with the choir and orchestra. It features the GREATEST musical segue’ in history. “ . . . And so it was . . . “

It‘s just plain awesome songwriting there, but this version is also killing it!

[@jandrury125]

Love this version!

[@davidsullivan4749]

I have to agree with you on that one of the great songs that has lasted two years that is so unappreciated

[@Cindrbell]

"... And so it was..." 😉💙

[@claudioortiz9007]

The thing I always found extraordinary about Gary Brooker is that he sounded like this when he was young. I always found that strange because his voice sounded like that of an older gentleman even at a young age. He finally now looks like his voice sounds.

[@Kim-hc5si]

Excellent! ❤️

[@scottallencarr]

Had to age into it.

This was playing when I found out my Husband had died. Still breaks my heart 30 yrs later. Beautiful song.

[@butterbeansc]

I completely understand. My ex husband was murdered in 2018 and when we took him off life support, Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” was playing.

[@mamaasaiz]

Procul Harum is latin for "beyond these things"... and Gary Brooker has a tremendous voice!

[@baranduyn]

Nobody will ever be able to count how many babies were conceived to this song since 1967, The band is called Procol Harum. The lead singer/pianist is Gary Booker. When this came through the radio speaker back in the day you locked up, said 'what was that?" and just loved it.

[@rrhondarrenee]

His name is Gary Brooker

I watch this performance at least once a week because it’s good for my soul.

[@erickjohnson2138]

His name is Gary Brooker. I have been listening to whiter shade of pale off and on since 1970. This is by far the best version. I believe his voice sounds warmer. Genius having an orchestra. That oboe was smashing.

[@claireboddey3273]

Hauntingly ethereal song. Never fails to make my hair stand on end.

I always SAID about this genius song...when you die..this is what u 👂 hear at the Golden gates🎻🎺🎶🎵🎼🎹🙏🙏🙏🙏👼👼👼

[@kimmycook2698]

Ah yes, a classic from my childhood. He still has the chops even after all this time.

[@ptournas]

I liked the song when it first came out, but didn't fully appreciate it until I heard this performance. I think the full orchestra might be how he heard it in his head when he wrote it. I'm just happy that he stayed around long enough for us to hear it and kept that powerful singing voice!

[@km4844]

This is epic. “Dude playing two pianos at once.” 😂 Grateful for this gift, 🎶

The song was inspired by Chaucer’s A Miller’s Tale.

[@greenearthtravel6331]

And now Keith Reid who wrote it

[@alexfletcher5192]

One accidental slip on the piano turned Bach's 'Air on the G String' into one of the evergreen classics of progressive rock (it even went top 5 in the US). Somehow forgotten as new acts came along to supplant them, Procol Harum's initial impact cleared the way for a whole groundswell of talented British musicians.

[@MaddyN999]

His voice has aged like fine wine. Love this version so much 🖤🖤🖤

[@loriwishman1866]

Procol Harem is the core group of musicians, pianist, organ, guitar, bass and drums. This is a timeless song. Loved it! Love your reaction. To appreciate music is to appreciate all genres. Thanks.

Back in the 60’s we would go to the Green Gate pub, Bethnal Green, London. So crowded we spilled on to the pavement. When they played this all the kids would sing at the top of their voices. Great atmosphere.

[@talltulip]

The original record, released in 1967, opens with some of the most iconic opening notes in rock music. People who were around in the 60s are instantly transported back in time the moment they here that first note played on the Hammond organ.

[@randomninja]

Love this song! It's both unique and chilling, in the best way!

[@richardturk7162]

Back when artists were actual artists and could play and sing. No auto tune on the voice or any studio enhancements all live and done perfectly. This song came out in 1967 and I remember it well. Saw them live twice in the late 70s. RIP Gary Brooker what a singer and pianist.

Procol Harum Recorded 1967 Singer Gary Brooker Written by Keith Reid Whiter Shade of Pale We tripped the light Fandango Turned cartwheels cross the floor I was feeling kind of seasick But the crowd called out for more The room was humming hotter As the ceiling blew away When we called for a drink The waiter brought a tray And so it was Then later The Miller told his tail And her face at first just ghostly Turned a whiter shade of pale

[@lxhobson]

DANG! That performance was absolutely perfect -- Just hauntingly beautiful. His voice hasn't lost any of it's range or power over the years. He hit those notes just like he did 25 years ago! I'm chillin' right along with you, Mr. Video.

Hard to believe this video has been on KZbin for 10 years. I've been enjoying it all that time and wondered why there wasn't more excitement about it. I guess it just took some discovery time.

[@garfield122010]

This song was a hit in 1967, Gary Brookers voice is excellent ❤️

[@jackieclapper2792]

Gary Brooker is the singer. He was 61 at this concert and his voice is stronger than it was in 1967. Sadly he died this past February 2022 of cancer. He was 77 and performed til the end. Go to UTube and see him young he was soo.hot even older. The band he sang with is Procol Harum, meaning beyond these things. RIP Dear man we love you. I was born the same year as him. They are from England. They toured worldwide.

[@sherryheim5504]

This is one of the most beautiful songs of a all time, I love Gary Brooker's voice on this song Thank you. Singing, playing, eyes closed...think Ray Charles or Stevie Wonder, they learned to play, write and sing with no sight at all, Jeff Healey played guitar and wrote music while blind since 6 months old. Music creates miracles.

[@Sobolady89]

The singer is Gary Brooker and this song came out in 1967. His voice has aged like a fine wine. He also performed with the Alan Parson's Project. 2 very under-rated bands.

[@kthor]

OMG……OMG…..I have tears flowing from both the music & you……you crack me up! “Does he ever open his eyes….or how does he see or know what keys to play?!’ Gary Brooker was one of three writers on this so has been playing the black & white keys for awhile! It was #5 for several weeks in 1967…..& was an anthem for that “summer of love”!!!

I always loved this song...thank you for doing some more music...I like all you do!!!

Great old song, remember when it came out. Excellent shirt Leo! 🤗💓

[@ejb5034]

The singer is Gary Brooker the last remaining member of the original band Procol Harum. He passed away earlier this year. And this is not "white music", this is REAL music. It's a beautiful thing when music crosses the "barrier" between people of different colors, belief systems, languages etc. and elicits the same reactions in all who hear it regardless of where you're from. In those moments we are all just simply brothers and sisters.

Adore Gary Brooker, his voice has never changed & is incredible! He's the songwriter & founder, lead singer of Procol Harum. Just brilliant!!

[@solitarybee3714]

I think the guys gathered right around the vocalist, who's name is Gary Brooker, are members of his original group which was called Procol Harum. They don't have on the fancy clothes that the actual orchestra members have on. It looks like all those folks wearing red might be graduating during this ceremony? Not sure, but this is a special performance, which turned out quite magnificently, I think! Procol Harum was a successful group of a few guys from several decades ago, maybe the '70s? Gary Brooker is the lead singer of that group. Glad you enjoyed it, so did I. ~I love your channel & your reactions~

I had just added this to a playlist of music I remember of my mom's favorites growing up. Good shit Procol lol

[@terrijacoby791]

Saw Procol Harem at the Golders Green Hippodrome in 1974, a BBC In Concert radio broadcast. The first live gig I went to, a 16 year old. I wasn't particularly into the band before that but they put on great show. Love this version.

57th greatest song of all time. And this performance takes it to another level. 👏 I just realized I've been listening to this song my entire life. 56 years. 😆
