The song has aged so well, considering it was written in 1967!

[@lionelraoul]

Psychadelic lyrics will do that.

[@romulusbuta9318]

Yeah.....more like in the 1600-es was written.......by some "random" person ....J.S.B. ........? DOES ANYBODY KNOWS WHO HE WAS ........? 😆😆😃

This stunning version of this timeless song chokes me up everytime, once again showing the incredible emotional and s I ritual power of music, mankind's greatest and most evocative art form.

[@spacefanatic]

The studio version of this song which came out in the 60's was great but this live version is stupendous as the orchestra and choir give it more depth. Gary Brooker's voice aged like a fine wine. R.I.P. Gary.

[@treetopjones737]

Reminds of how ( at least years ago ) you would hear a muzak version of it some public place. I think that died out and these days a restaurant for example has a music channel subscription to play original music recordings.

[@michaelparks6120]

Oh, sorry to hear he died.....best to his wife and kids.

[@jayrhodes3766]

Reminds me of Sir Tom Jones and Bobby Caldwell

Everyone that has reacted to this song/video, has the same reaction, they're overwhelmed by it. The Danish orchestra, Procol Harum, and Gary Brooker have combined to make a masterpiece

[@bazkeen]

R.I.P. Gary Brooker 😢 His voice was like fine wine. Just got better with age When this came out in 1967 there was another song that came out the same year that was like a book end to this song. Nights In White Satin by the Moody Blues. Would suggest you do the 1997 live in the NEC in the UK version

[@fabiobisson2496]

I agree with you. In 1967 when the song was released I was 13 and I'm still listening it because is a masterpiece. The Gary's voice has more tone now than back in the sixties. R.I.P. Gary

[@rickpopham5400]

I never thought of that! You're absolutely right.

[@Rangerfan11]

Yes! When I think of this song I also think of nights in white satin! Perfect!

[@steve-qe1sv]

From first hearing this song while walking on a beach road on a hand held transistor radio in 1967 to a full orchestra with high tech headphones. Nothing has changed, still one of the greatest songs in my lifetime.

ABSOLUTELY. The best band of all time in my opinion.

🇨🇦 Procol Harum was an English rock band, consisting of 2 guitarists, a drummer, an organist and Gary on the piano ! This was written and released in 1967 ! (You should watch the original video when you get a chance) This outdoor concert from 2006, was hosted by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra and Procol Harum was their invited guests ! The Orchestra has over 70 Choir members and over 100 Musicians ! 🇨🇦

Procol Harum is the name of the Band. Gary Brooker is the singer (he passed last year). This song was a hit in 1967 and this is an amazing version with the full orchestra. BTW I saw Procol Harum live in 1971 in Honolulu, Hawaii. Robin Trower was the guitar player.

I bet that was an experience to witness - some of the very best British talent on that stage !! 👍🏽

Fantastic intro by the Danish orchestra, playing the melody in the minor key, the usual extraordinary and powerful delivery of Gary, bull's eye comments of an absolutely stunning woman by the name of Emma on a song that just pierces my heart, again and again, to a release of tears - but " our tears were tears of joy" - ("A Salty Dog" by PH).

[@michaeldezego340]

Gary Brooker’s voice aged soooo well. I would suggest listening to the studio version from 1967 so you can hear his young voice. Also the song Conquistador live with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra from I think 1973 or thereabouts.

[@bookhouseboy280]

Recorded in 1971 and released in '72. It also has definitive versions of two of Procol's best, Whaling Stories and In Held Twas in I.

The original guitarist with Procol Harum ( after recording the original version ) was Robin Trower who played a prominent part in their first several LPs -- then went on to become a power trio bearing his name , with great success in the USA , filling large arenas . He's still playing in 2024 . Saw Procol Harum live in 1967 at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit .

My older brother had this 45 record when I was 14 in 1967 and I still enjoy this song today.

[@kavinsky2]

I grew up listening to this song often in the 90's, on a collection CD my mom had of the songs from her teens in the 60's and 70's. It's beautiful in it's orginal studio version and as amazing here live, sung by the same man, almost 4 decades later. The Danish National Orchestra is a fantastic one aswell. Next year is the 100 year anniversary for The Danish National Orchestra, so might be worth checking out their scheduale for the year (2025) to see if you can get a chance to join in on the celebrations. 😊

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

Gary Brooker had one of the most unique voices in popular music. To me it sounded dry, British and intensely soulful all at the same time. Listen to "Grand Hotel" for an example and listen to the studio version instead of the live version.
