Procol Harum A Salty Dog live in Denmark 2006

[@paullewis1295]

RIP Gary Brooker. Lost to cancer. So sad. Such a talent.

[@francomarini560]

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!

[@joachimpfitzner2741]

now he passed away :-(

[@francomarini560]

Yes....RIP, I'm so sorry about it! I'll listen A Salty Dog again later

[@stoutblackcat]

This performance is one for the ages.

[@5610winston]

@@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.

[@karenpowell2812]

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!

[@geoffaustin1304]

The finest version there will ever be of this esoteric song

[@michelesbazzeguti1791]

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.

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.

Me too. Incredible version of this haunting song.

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 performance literally brought a few tears to my eyes. What a pity that the average dufus doesn't even know who Gary Brooker is.

[@brigittek.7894]

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!

[@jymcaputo]

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.

[@Tityretupatulae]

He was phenomenal

[@renatefass9344]

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!

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.

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!

[@helenarcarvalho]

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.
