I was 19 and in London visiting from Canada in Aug. '67 when I first heard this song. Some group in a Soho club was covering it. Didn't think too much of it until the next day I heard P.H.'s original version on the radio. Blew me away. Bought the single when I got home in Sept. It's been with me ever since. As a baby boomer, raised on rock throughout the 60's and 70's l thank my lucky stars that l grew up during this most memorable of music times. I'd love to be 19 again, but have to admit that l'm so glad l lived it. And after all these years this is the first time l've heard all 4 verses. Uploading it to my MP3. Wilf Malette

Let's be thankful for the ability to remember and feel pity for the generations before and after. Oh,and whether one was there and revelled in it, or had the misfortune of being born too late, the music is still with us and there are books. Like this one. THAT era, seen through the eyes of one that was there and did it all. Enjoy, if you will. www.smashwords.com/books/view/494589

This is from the famed "Redhill" Procol 30th anniversary concert, 1997. That is indeed Matthew Fisher on the organ...nobody has ever played the organ part on this song with the finesse he brings to it. Pure magic. And Brooker's singing is better here, 30 years later, than it is on the original recording.

I never knew there was a third and fourth verse 'till I saw this post. I'd only ever heard the studio cut, I knew the song was probably longer but I had no idea that it would've been as epic as this. My dad use to have this on an LP as a child growing up in the late 80's and throughout most of the 90's I use to listen to his vinyl collection. My father showed me what real music was like, and while the other kids round my age didn't get why I would like such old music, they just didn't understand

@@lindahh798 the hammond helps make the song timeless, but the 2 extra verses the radio & most vids screw listeners out of is what truly makes this a masterpiece. Why the need to dumb the song down like that is beyond me. I'm sure the apologists for the industry would say it's in the interests of time. I say BS. Why is it labels have been able to dumb songs down & out of their most pertinent lyrics, usually using "time" as an excuse?

Paris. The summer of 1967. I had a small apartment a couple of blocks from the Arc de Triomphe. On those hot summer nights, across the narrow street, an organ would play the haunting sounds of A Whiter Shade of Pale, I fell in love with the song then. And have been in love with it ever since. I have memories of that song weaving it's way through my life. Through relationships with women especially. I have danced to it in living rooms, on patios, in driveways, parking lots and in bedrooms.

I'm only 18, but I know the legend that grew out of my home city of Edmonton, of the first record to incorporate an orchestra with rock music. Although I was too young to see the concert that made history, the one concert that was so good Procol Harum had to perform it twice to satisfy the audience, my dad did see it. Says he remembers it like it was yesterday. He can even point out his exact cheers. It's crazy how rocking a world we live in and we almost never realize it. Like most, this is the first time I ever heard the full version. Heard ABOUT it, and read the lyrics, but never actually heard it. One of my favourite songs, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. It is really amazing.

Cool. Very different organ part to this version. nice. The organ line is so iconic to this piece of course that even a small change would be SO noticeable! Making this one totally remarkable.

what a great combination of talent. writing singing and playing. epic masterpiece. my moms band in the 70s played this as an instrumental. the keyboardist was just 14 years old with a hammond. he nailed it, as well as other hammond featured songs of the time, and it forever stays in my mind. whenever i hear a hammond …

I always knew there were 2 more verses but never heard them until know. Thank you from the "bottom of my heart." This was the first song that I felt in love with at 18 years old - it sounds just as good now as did so many many years ago, when I was in "my salad days." I bought a CD the other day, a British import full of all the goodies from my beloved band. And oh, what memories come back to me - such good, old tunes, now are my "car tunes". Dec 10, 2015

That must have blown you away - finally hearing the full version , with the ''lost shakespeare'' verses , after having loved the song for many years . Happy for you . The last verse is so utterly gorgeous . Don't you find it staggering that this , the only full version on you tube , to the best of my knowledge , has only 400K odd views , considering the figures on all the other , abbreviated ones ? seasaltislove on fb - the dot com is not ready yet - will have some news shortly on this matter - pinterest has started , instagram cometh . next few weeks .- best wishes .

I am 53 and I understand where you are coming from. When I listen to this and so many great songs of the past, its painfully nostalgic sometimes. I work with a group guys 10 to 15 yrs. younger than me. 1 views me as a curiosity. I do feel that this particular genre of music gives one a sense of substance, a sense of history. Songsters write for completely different reasons now. Its not anachronistic, although kids may think your're not with it. I don't care. I love music that lets you wander...

Thank Ye kindly for this wonderful post. As a child of the 60's.....I've heard this many times and didn't know it had four verses. I suppose back in my day all songs had some particular meaning. It's a dying art and that's a shame! Again, THANK YE KINDLY!

I was watching "Breaking the Waves" with Emily Watson and Stellan Skarsgård. This piece was one of the chapter headings and it has gone through my head ever since. The organ is so haunting, yet peaceful. I remember when the song came out, like Wilf Malette earlier, I was part of the same generation. And like Wilf, until now, I'd never heard all the verses. Thank you for uploading this.

A fav since being a small child and hearing this while riding in the backseat of my parents brown Malibu car with my sister on the way to Nassau Lake in the 518 of NYS to get a burger and ice cream from Jeans Hamburger stand on a summer night sometime in the early 70's. Rest peacefully Brooker. Love you always!!
