I'm a tearful 67 year old man. This song is an anthem from my youth and I'm so saddenned by the passing of this legend. Gary, keep singing this magnificent song for the angels! RIP x

[@ulfingvar1]

He will, he will.

[@Josh_Jackson]

You guys do understand that it's a song about a girl that used cocaine for the 1st time and died right? I do love the song as it is definitely spiritual in its innocence in every way:)

I'm about a week away from turning 70. I have carried this song in my heart for decades. So beautiful.

[@Guitar_Fella]

What an amazing performance. The orchestra and choir adds another dimension to an already extraordinary musical composition. And Gary Brooker...perhaps the most underrated singer ever.

[@tedpetry2028]

Amen. RIP Gary. This song is haunting, yet allows our generation to feel what the war was about.

[@matthewblouin1048]

First I would like to say, you have a very appropriate name Biscuit. You are cute as a biscuit. Secondly, I love your reaction to probably the most beautiful song ever written and performing it with an orchestra and chorus only makes it better.

[@bigglesharrumpher4139]

RIP Gary Booker. A great voice is silenced, but his legend lives on. He was 60 when he played this concert.

[@JoeKentMagic]

" And So It Waaa-aaas ..." what an incredible note !!

Your a beautiful spirit too, thank you!!!

My favourite track of all time stunning performance, enjoyed your reation, God bless.

Sadly we lost this guy so recently it barely seems plausible. One of the most beautiful integrations of British prog rock and classical JS Bach style and musicianship ...total quality 💙.

[@johncheek2207]

The organ makes this song. They were a great group

[@realcoolbreeze]

Yours was a beautiful, heartfelt reaction. Brought tears to my eyes.Gary Brooker sang this 42 years before this version with this amazing orchestra. He was 21 when his band came out with this great song back in 1967 I believe. My all time favorite song. Your reaction was accurate and wonderful.😊👍❤️

[@grunthostheflatulent9649]

Gary Brooker M.B.E - Sold over 10,000,000 singles globally, one of only around 35 songs to have ever achieved this. This particular performance is Perfection...it cannot be topped, his voice which is called a Whisky tenor is amazingly powerful and this as you can see from the set list was near the end of the concert , so a good hour of singing already...

[@jeffyoung801]

❤You know there will never be music as there was in the 60s and 70s. i enjoy your reactions. The joy on your face is special. Thank you.

[@hannegem]

J.S.Bach plus Gary equals bliss.

[@berndschuster1547]

Thank you for the music all time from Germany! Gary Brooker on piano and singer was the man from Procol Harum and the song: "A whiter shade of pale" is forever . Gary Brooker died 19.Febr. 22. RIP Gary.

[@firemedic5100]

This masterpiece was good in 1967, as was Gary's voice. But this completed the masterpiece with this performance, and Gary's voice at 61 in this show, was better than at 22. Yes he is gone, but he will never be forgotten as long as this anthem is played.

[@cherripaynegraham4638]

GARY WILL NEVER DIE THROUGH HIS MUSIC. LOVE HIM. THIS PERFORMANCE IS ONE FOR THE AGES. REST IN PEACE. YOUR MUSIC LIVES ON.

[@patrickborin9814]

Love your comments. Gary Brooker, his passion, his voice are legendary.

[@ronaldcrawford9310]

His voice will live on in this song....and quite possibly this performance, through people of the younger generation remembering the greatest musical generation of our era....and WE (I'm 68) didn't even realize it until now.....and now, you recognize the era too! Thank you

[@KopKing88]

This Song defined what the 1960's was all about.It came out a couple of years before my birth but my uncle was a massive music fan and he loved this song and always talked about what this song meant to him, it was the song played at both his wedding in 1982 and at his funeral in 2006.The 1960s was a wonderful decade of music from the Beatles, the Stones, Motown, the Doors, etc etc etc but this song is the defining song of the decade in my opinion and sung so beautifully by Gary Brooker RIP

[@tobinhays652]

Unfortunately, I found about Gary Brooker's passing from stumbling upon your channel. This is one of my top ten favorite songs, and one of the best live performances I've ever seen (I wasn't there, I've just watched it at least 100 times on KZbin). Heaven must have been short of entertainment, as they have recently been collecting some of the finest musicians, actors, comedians that have walked the Earth. God bless, Gary. You did well.

I too am 67, I was a young boy in 1967 when this tine was first released, it became my most favourite song of all time, how delighted I was to find this live version from 2006, amazing 👏

This was the best version of this song.

Great song, excellent reaction absolutely gorgeous host

[@slimpickins9124]

Your reaction is very much appreciated by this 71 year old rocker that had the good fortune to be able to enjoy this groups music during their heyday. Watching this performance now I have become aware of how spoiled we were in the 60's & 70's as there were dozens of groups pumping out a plethora of wonderful soulful music. Thanks for your reaction.

60's and 70's music is 1 million times better than the crap today

@@johncheek2207 I'm a sure hard Procol Harum fan, but there is still great music being made. Check out bands like Nightwish, Epica, Ayreon, Unleash the Archers, and many more.

I wasn't aware that he had passed away. How sad. I've always liked this song and Procol Harum. I've seen this video so many times, and it's difficult to wrap around the fact that he's gone. RIP brother.

[@Sober2003]

We just lost one of my favorite voices! Rip Gary! ❤️

[@VinE83656]

I am in my early 60s and I have always loved this song. I remember slow dancing to this song at high school dances. Beautiful song and Procol Harum were a wonderful band. I loved your reaction. Music is timeless and I love to see younger people appreciate music from my youth.

[@johnrussell4788]

I'm n old guy too and this is high in my five best songs of all time. I thought that your reaction was the best I've seen for the Denmark 2006 version.], you showed great understanding. Thank you dear young lady.

RIP Gary. I remember this song when it first came out (I was about 11 or so). This is a wonderful version.

[@thunderstruck5484]

Such a reflective song on a person’s life always gets me teary eyed thinking of family and friends that are waiting for me on the other side

[@timhmetal3499]

Loved your emotion and feeling, really says all anyone needs to know about who you are. Rasp is a perfect description. I would say he had a Kenny Roger's thing they both shared. Respect and love....

Really an epic concert. Lovely venue with a relatively small audience. Supremely professional and talented orchestra. Gary playing flawlessly and singing with passion. I can tell this vid was put together by skilled pros because I now feel a glimmer of a feeling that I actually attended the concert. 🙏🏻 to you Ms. Bisscute.

This is one of the best live performance I ever heard. Great and emotional 😄🥲

[@figura2000]

beautiful song, you almost cried, natural reaction are the best, with no words

[@KopKing88]

In my humble opinion this song is the song that reminds me of all the 1960,s brought, the greatest song of that decade. RIP Gary Brooker , your voice will live on through your musical recordings forever and this song will in particular be continued to be played so so many others in years to come will appreciate your talent

[@renejensen7799]

Great pick, surely i know this one, but never seen this live performance, it sounded great..

[@zurnie]

This live performance is truly a masterpiece. The strings and woodwinds are all on their own cadence and rhythm that comes together and ties off together when the piano and vocals start. And it only gets better from there. Awesome concert.

[@koserkm]

This version of this song is my favorite song of all time. I have lost so many close people this last year but Gary Booker was the legend I admired most. It just adds to a profound sadness I can't seem to shake. Like a guy said in a previous post. Hopefully you are singing in heaven. My wife just got there a few days before you Gary. Sing to my wife and make her happy because I'm pretty sure she will be able to find it there unlike here.

[@ericrlevi5540]

Great song, excellent reaction GORGEOUS HOSTESS

[@ekim0513]

Great reaction. You showed respect and appreciation in a heartfelt entertaining manner. This song and performance deserve that.

[@777colin1]

In a hundred years from now, people will watch this on KZbin and it will be just as loved then, as it is today as it was in 1967, when Procol Harum released this and it stayed at the top of the charts for 6 weeks. It is one of the most beautiful pieces of music and it is timeless. Thank you Gary Brooker and Keith Reid for giving us this magnificent musical piece. RIP Gary and thank you

[@lauraswain80]

One of my favourite voices! Your face when the oboe came in was exactly the same as mine!!❤ I know I'm late to this particular party but I'm so glad I found this reaction. Thank you!🤗

[@gsadventures678]

This song is a masterpiece and you're beautiful Bisscute!

[@pebblehilllane]

I'm 67 years old and have loved this song since it was first released. I was lucky enough to see them live a number of times over the decades. The last time was unexpected. My girlfriend of the time worked for a corporation with front row seats at a somewhat close venue. She told me she had tickets to see Jethro Tull for the next weekend. I didn't ask who would open for them and only found out once at the venue and halfway to our seats when I heard a couple telling their son who looked about 12 years old how he would love Procol Harum. As much as I love Tull I was more than twice as excited to have the chance to see Procol Harum again. That was in 1993 and Gary Brooker still sounded as good as he did when the song was first released, and still sounded fantastic in 2006. He was an incredibly talented man.

[@BisscuteReacts]

Amazing ❤

[@eddunn4121]

It’s a masterly composed song but Gary’s voice is sublime, unmatched

[@jeffreybooth5129]

What a lovely reaction thank you.As a Procol harum fan since the beginning and seeing them live 8 times I had a little tear in my eyes listening to your kind words following the tragic news about Gary's passing.One thing is sure God hasjust booked the top of the bill for his concert in heaven. They can't take away the music and I will be listening over and over till the end

[@terryengland1880]

Feeling emotional is what is been human is all about

[@jimmythetout109]

When you meld a truly classic song with a philharmonic orchestra .......you get pure magic , as with this tune .....and the Moody Blues " Nights in White Satin " ....Another absolute classic ..

[@2zxodcfm]

Thank God, music from Rock's golden era such as this gem was captured for our enjoyment and re-enjoyment as we see current youth discover our treasure they missed out on. Laying hardly out of sight to be uncovered so it can light up our world again just as it did initially. This is a fire which will never extinguish.

[@deankaraman2086]

If you like orchestras you'll love Tommy Shaw's "Sing For the Day" concert where he joins with the Contemporary Youth Orchestra. Amazing things those kids can do.......songs like You're Fooling Yourself and Blue collar Man as well as Girls with Guns....yes it's kids but you will be amazed at their talent.

[@VIDSTORAGE]

I never have seen them live but I knew this song from many years back ..I had their 1st album and another album called Home .I listened to them a lot . .Easy to find on You Tube also....Gary was a great front man ...

[@glennprine8328]

Vidstorage, You must get their second and third albums. "Shine On Brightly" and "A Salty Dog". You will love them the way you love "A Whiter Shade Of Pale." ❤️

It's amazing to see a older man deliver.. showing how it's supposed to be done love it...

[@eldubose63]

I was fascinated by your expressions as you watched this performance. This is one of the most beautiful concerts of Procal Harum and I've watched it over and over again. The Danish National Orchestra are magnificent. You will probably like "Salty Dog and "An Old English Dream as well. Thank you for your depth of insight and feelings.

[@lonnielongino798]

We recently (within the last year) lost Procol Harems lead singer Gary Brooker. He toured up until his death & never lost any of his voice, if anything it got more distinctive with age. RIP to an amazing voice. One of the best of his generation.

[@free..to..air..]

If there is an anthem for the decade that was the super swinging sixties...this is it.....so..so..evocative of that wonderfully psychedelic time ......I know..because I was there...and lived through it

The Singer Gary Brooker is an English man, the creator of the Song back in 1967 with the Band Procol Harum . He passed away in Feb 2022 at the age 77. A great song, also Homburg is another song he wrote. A great singer and song writter

[@RandallMorris222]

Great reaction, Bisscute! Gary Booker's voice, at least in this piece, IS very calming. (And "Rasp" is a perfectly good musical term.)

[@imacmanx8562]

One of the great voices in music. He obviously kept up with his vocal training, since he sounds as good in this performance as he did in 1967. John Lenon said it was one of the greatest songs written, and listened to it when he was riding in his Bentley. RIP Gary.

[@smythharris2635]

12th May 1967 was the release date; I heard it for the first time on a small Bush transistor radio in the local cricket pavilion, we were getting changed to play a match, we all sang along with the chorus. Radio Caroline was the station.

[@maxmarkus6202]

[@rodhoad1858]

I have just subscribed to your channel after your beautiful reaction to this amazing performance. I look forward to younger people seeing some of their wonderful responses when they see some great music from years ago and your reaction was one the best. I think this live performance is just about the finest I have ever heard from any artist or group, is is truly flawless and the setting is also beautiful. There is a group you have not yet reacted to who I believe you will love called Pentatonix, they are quite simply amazing. Please look up their rendition of Hallelujah which has over 500 million listens. Once you have heard this I am sure you will be delighted with the rest of their music. Rod.

[@Dee-JayW]

An anthem of my youth, 😢of great days gone by growing up in 60s and 70s. this stunning song is elevated to perfection with Gary Bookers performance, voice, orchestral arrangement. ❤❤ i love the horns coming in near the end. And of course the Hammond Organ

[@martensjd]

40 years after the song was a hit, the band still sounded good. I heard this on AM radio in the early '70s (maybe before), and bought the album in the mid '70s. I like seeing people like you, much younger than the original audience (I was a bit younger than the original audience, but not that much younger) enjoying the music of my youth. Please keep making good videos Bisscute, and thanks.

[@davidlindsay7472]

I can't help but to cry knowing gary is gone. As a young man stationed in the UK I remember dancing at the Airmans Club or the American Club in Norwich to this legendary song. RIP Gary

[@TomGorham]

I am very happy to hear this song again. Today would be my mother's 94th birthday. I dedicate it to her. They both give me such beautiful memories.

[@jamesdrynan]

This performance of the song that was originally recorded and released in May, 1967 is as close to perfect as you can get. Brooker's voice, like fine wine, aged beautifully. Three cheers for the audio engineers! It's a daunting task to do a live mix of a vocal, full orchestra, sixteen voice choir, guitars, drums, piano and B3 organ. They nailed it! As a musician, I applaud the choices made by the arranger. The introduction places the melody in the minor key, instantly setting a nostalgic tone. Highlighting the oboe accentuates that mood. Preceding the vocal entry, the arranger chooses a Tierce de Picardie, that is, changing the melody from the minor back to the major C. A common way to end a composition in 17th century music, here it is done to great effect. For all the fans, this version raised goosebumps, created lumps in the throat and flowing tears. Hallelujah!

[@peterkovaselicoliveira3923]

Excellent reaction and tribute! rest in peace Gary Broker, on the spiritual plane.

[@joshb23]

What a pleasure experiencing this through your eyes and ears - it's the closest thing to being able to hear it for the first time after all these years. You are a beautiful soul and I appreciate your open-hearted reaction, and I just subscribed :) Keep up the great work!
