Please, rescue more videos from Procol Harum. They are disappearing everything!

[@franabreu7594]

I Love You Procol Harum. I love Gary Brooker!. Thanks Tiana!

[@darrellminx5459]

This album means more in my life than any other. Real musicians and the lyrics of Keith Reid . That music stands the test of time. I have spent my life deciphering these words Thank you.

[@JamesDolen-dn6wz]

This song accomplishes Gary's vision of the band with the piano, Hammond organ and electric blues guitar all supporting each other. A lot of critics didn't like Keith's lyrics. To me it's about a man going mad.

[@thewordofgord]

Priceless,wow! Never seen any quality video this early! Know all the songs as I bought the first album around xmas 67. Pretty sure Reid's influence lyrically woud be Dylan of the Blonde On Blonde era. Saw this line up at the Toronto Pop Festival summer '69 and with the fine sound system they sounded great. Thanks so much for this Tiana!

How awesome is this?… embryonic Procol Harum… I can’t believe how good the quality is on this, given the technology of the time. Certainly the band is performing at peak level here… Just wish there was more Robin Trower!🎸❤️☮️

[@darrellminx5459]

This audience didn't know what they were in for. History being made.

[@darrellminx5459]

This Album mede the Beatles rethink sgt. Peppers. 1966 this was out defing classic rock.way before any one. Robin Trower laying down the law. Other guitar players re thinking they're Mo. mathew Fisher inventing a new class of organ. Just wailing on it. The notes go right to the gut. Only band where the lyricist was a full member of the band.

Long version of WSoP with an extra verse, which is pretty rare.

wailing, I may add.

[@larrypennisi7765]

WHAT A JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thankS!

[@muncher64]

I saw them in Central Park (NYC), I think it was in '69, and it was a thrilling performance. Thx for posting this.

[@Oh_I_Will]

You think….IOW….you didn’t see PH

[@chuckm4540]

Cool to see Trower jamming on a Les Paul.

[@darrellminx5459]

He used a greatch as well. Got that sound by slaving a small amplifier into a Marshall.

[@ploddolp]

The band is just maturing. It makes up for it with youthful energy and freshness. But it's not the best sound yet. Nevertheless, you can feel the artistic soul of the formation. Of course, poor BJ - he's thrashing those drums dressed in that idiotic cape.

[@ploddolp]

Only the audience stiffened, as if they were listening to a mandatory concert to celebrate.... something there.

[@karimebutte4852]

Cuanta belleza...

[@oldmcmetal3688]

It`s one of these magic moments where one thinks "Why wasn`t I there?". In my case a simple answer. I`m not french and at that time 7 years old! Excellent performance! But the audience? What did they expect. The british answer to Charles Aznavour?

[@dancetothebop]

No Charles at all, I was there and can tell you the audience was hip and everybody was stoned and appreciative, the sound of the video doesn't do justice to the audio quality in this great theater, amazing performance, mind blowing concert

[@manco828]

I don't know how one even begins to categorize these songs. Pop, psychedelic, baroque, R&B, classical?

[@jff119]

It’s music …

[@bernardmeyre]

Yes, this is great

[@johnheldman8798]

Not too shabby

[@ploddolp]

Good old Procol in its legendary lineup. Only those nightmarish costumes.... it's impossible to look at. Fortunately, listen as much as possible.
