Procol Harum - festival 1974: Homburg, Devil Came from Kansas, Salty Dog

[@avrib7935]

Still love seeing Procol online and miss them so so much. Liked this line up too. BJ Wilson was an outstanding percussionist, loved his drumming style, mostly he was the one I'd watch when seeing them live 💙💚

RIP Gary Brooker...the band was a legend

[@nidgehart]

Feel very proud to have played with the great Mick Grabham, the guitar player featured here, in a trio called Los Amigos, back in 98/2000. Alongside Rick Wills on bass-great times!

[@seldomseensavage3459]

The most underrated band of all time imho

[@P.DuncanMonk]

True . Band AND lyricist criminally underrated .

[@jrfranz13]

I say that all the time!@@P.DuncanMonk

[@jerryrichmond4707]

A phenomenal band. Classic!

[@johnkonrie9608]

The voice of Garry Brooker unbelievable

[@scorpion6535]

Rest in Peace Gary Brooker..missed your voice...

[@P.DuncanMonk]

And the great B.J. WILSON .

[@evangelinemitchell4519]

Should be a household name.

[@howardvalan7156]

I used to go see them all the time in the early 70’s with Robin Trower. They were always even better live than their songs sounded on the albums, much more powerful. I was thrilled years later when I finally got to see them with Matthew Fisher who had left before I had a chance to see him with the band. They had so many great songs.

[@P.DuncanMonk]

As a life long Procol Harem lover this video put me into a better time . Procol has always been my favorite band with my all time favorite vocalist and all time favorite drummer . Hearing and seeing this performance of A Salty Dog brought tears to my eyes . I really appreciate this upload . This music was pure .

[@RobertoPoncebk]

What a great drummer is B J Wilson, also a good friend of mine! DIG HIM, lads...

[@danieljulian4676]

That drummer plays like he means it. This tune's among their greatest!

[@elisabethbichler9634]

I was blessed growing up with the two best bands ever, Procol Harum and Led Zeppelin and, of course, two of the greatest singers of all time, Gary Brooker and Robert Plant.

[@ploddolp]

My God, what a wonderful, energetic and magical concert. Excellent form of musicians. And great scenery.

[@GazelyGaze]

and no Hammond organ in this set - it broke.

[@stephensuddens9146]

Thanks for the of the trips down memory lane. They were phenomenal live. Saw them many times from 71 to 77.

[@georgecav]

Homburg… something brilliant about the song

[@franabreu7594]

[@patricklemeur6360]

[@silas7129]

My heart breaks for him and his family.

[@leonardvernon7176]

[@ВладимирМышанов]

Gary Brooker - Великий музыкант ! Я до конца своих дней сохраню благодарную память о Procol Harum И Gary Brooker... (!) Покойся с миром, старина.

[@GazelyGaze]

A google translate: Gary Brooker - Great musician! I will keep the grateful memory of Procol Harum and Gary Brooker until the end of my days... (!) Rest in peace, old man.

[@vano758]

Офигенно!!! Впервые вижу эту съёмку..... Такой проникновенный Homburg -- аж плакать захотелось.....

[@ginoskokkinos9923]

Great artist Gary RIP

[@eduardoanibaldepose]

Gracias eternas Gary & Procol Harum!!!

[@johnmitchelljr]

One of a kind gone. Thank you.

[@jdmason6425]

They once played Fillmore East in 1969 as a 4~-piece & the band was brilliant! No Hammond B3 as Matt Fisher was out ill. It was Barrie on drums, Robin on guitar, Gary on concert grand and Dave Knights on bass. As that four, Rob & Barrie stole the show! (y)

[@demi388]

私はBJウィルソンがとても好きです。「歌うドラマー」と表現した人がいましたが、その通りです。正直、今までドラムに興味がありませんでしたが、こんなに楽しく聴ける楽器なんだと教えてくれたのはBJでした。「Homburg」の後で少し微笑むのがいいですね。なかなか見られない表情です。若くして神様のもとへ行ってしまったことも、彼の存在を特別なものにしています。歳をとられてからもステージに上がっている方が沢山いらっしゃいます。ゲイリー・ブルッカーもそうでした。けれどBJがおじいさんになった姿は見られないのです。そして、亡くなった理由を思うと胸が締め付けられます。天国で大好きな音楽を奏でていると信じます。また、プロコルハルムの映像が沢山の人に観て頂けることを願います。

[@larrypennisi7765]

This is incredible thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@abilim-mima]

I love this ❤

[@joaomartins828]

Amazing, all other instruments tried to fill up the missing hammond....

[@walklikeaman263]

Par Excellence!

[@Matthewbest]

The outro is "Simple Sister", which you can hear here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5Oviaasest6j9k

[@GazelyGaze]

Thanks, Matthew! I'll amend the description.

[@bau6078]

[@JackPonissi]

Fantastic footage,thanks for posting. I wonder if this is that 1974 gig where the Hammond failed: I see Chris Copping moving from tambourine to organ briefly on Kansas, but still can’t hear any organ. Incredible how gruesome the audience situation looks. I can’t imagine something like this happening today!

[@JackPonissi]

Just checked and it’s indeed the concert where the organ broke. procolharum.com/procol_ragnarock-index.htm?fbclid=IwAR0P9S7cjYTUDg2GgftUOBG5H0se76Kmr1IaI-u_yh9tCvx2zs1lK-xdOdE

[@GazelyGaze]

@@JackPonissi Yes it is indeed! You've provided the link that I found, and briefly mentioned in the description.

[@patrickward8144]

Fabulous guitar by Mick, using a Gibson, which THE guitar which gives PH their proper guitar sound, NOT Fender!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheBlueCream]

yep, fatter sound

[@avrillo]

I'll say that BJ Wilson was one of the very best drummers in the UK. He was mesmerising to watch too, which I did at every gig.

[@demi388]

当時はこれが普通だったんですか？焚き火をしてたり、ゴミが大変なことになっていて、残念です。音楽についてコメントしようと思ったんですが、びっくりしちゃって┅それはまた後日😂

[@GazelyGaze]

"Was this normal at the time? It's a shame that people were lighting bonfires and trash was causing a lot of trouble. I was going to comment about the music, but I was surprised. I'll talk about that later." - - well festivals were in their early days; people hadn't yet learnt much about the environment, and there was a huge explosion of youth 'doing their thing'. It was all new. But very little trouble! Everyone was well-behaved. This is in Norway, btw.

Is Barrie BJ Wilson? An amazing drummer I loved the first 3 lps. I just read that lyricist Keith Reid died.

[@francoisebeylie2923]

Yes ! BJ Wilson on drums.
