I'm 73 now. I was 17 when I first saw one of the best Bands of lifetime. Listening to the oldest recordings of Harum make be want to cry with joy. Can I relive the 60's in Heaven ? I pray so.

[@gpm6449]

I'm only 60 but I totally agree ! PH is a terrible band, especially with this line up !

[@genmanager8577]

My favorite band for 50 years. This concert is exceptional. They look like they are having a GREAT time.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Thanks for sharing this. Another great performance by a legendary band. May B.J Wilson and Gary Brooker rest in peace. Cheers! ✌️

So great to catch full concert this by accident today. Thanks for posting it. I do love the spirit(s) of Gary, BJ and Mick but all the musicians here are loved. This was a great line up. How I wish I’d been there too. Missing these musicians so much, BJ, Keith, Gary, Mick, Chris, Al C, and also my sisters long ago work friend Dave!!

[@vano758]

[@Chazthefurr]

SEEN THIS BEFORE, BUT NOT THIS QUALITY. THANKS HERMANN!

[@gmedeiros5748]

PH really in good form here but that drum technique really stands apart . That’s crazy tapping .

[@bertusduiverman4743]

The sound is superb! Listening with an Arctic 7P+. Thanks for this wonderful post.

[@franabreu7594]

Excelent! Perfect. Thanks.

[@ericvanhavelte1611]

Thanks Hermann. So fantastic. Good quality. BJ so great.

[@toastertwo1602]

It's so much fun to see Gary doing Jerry Lee Lewis stuff! Especially such unpopular song as "Break Up". Seems like he was a real fan.

[@P.DuncanMonk]

@katyalacrua6793 B.J.Wilson....the octopus in a bathtub. There was no one else like him R.I.P..

[@user-wx7ry7pu6r]

I saw them do the exotic birds and fruit album in Charleston Illinois in the early 70s and the back up was Peter Frampton. I fell in love with that album as soon as I heard nothing but the truth.

[@sadmanuk1]

Greatest era of procol. Possibly not the best technically, but just utterley amazing

[@hansjakobstrai9348]

Very nice ,..

[@marineboy305]

2:44 who is the guitarist? I guess Mick Grabham. The sound is quite distinctive. Impressive.

[@francoisebeylie2923]

Mick Grabham, yes, as you can read in the description below the video.
