ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT!!! First Time Reaction to Procol Harum - "A Whiter Shade of Pale"

The singer was the late great Gary Brooker. He passed in February, 2022. Majestic performance by all.

By the time this performance was recorded, vocalist and founder Gary Brooker was the last remaining original member of Procol Harem. Record in 2006 and released in 2009, this concert was a collaboration with the Danish National Orchestra and Choir, at Ledreborg Castle in Denmark. Brooker passed away in 2022

I have loved this song ever since it was first released. This lives in my heart, so perfect, so beautiful! I've been waiting for a whole year for this reaction by you Stacey! With your beautiful heart, what I was expecting you delivered! R.I.P. Gary Brooker...♥

[@erictownsend8870]

The singer is Gary Brooker - leader, musical composer, and pianist for Procol Harum, started as an R&B group. They put out this single in 1967 before they even had a first album and jump-started their fame. It has sold over 9 million copies worldwide (no orchestra). The music was inspired by Bach's Air on a G String and another Bach piece. Gary had no classical training but did arrange orchestral parts on some of their songs. They also rock. Another great ballad is "A Salty Dog." A great example of rocking out with Gary's piano, BJ's drums, David Knight's bass, Robin Trower's guitar and some orchestral flourishes is "Simple Sister." The songwriting was always Keith Reid lyrics and Gary Brooker music. Keith would fully write the lyrics, then send them by snail mail to Gary who would add the music. Loved your reaction! Matthew Fisher was the organist on this song and their first four albums, and received co-writing credit for this song, belatedly.

[@iancharles7596]

Nothing gives me greater pleasure than sitting at the piano 57 years later and playing ‘A Whiter Shade of Pale’ the song that inspired me to learn to play piano. One of the true classics of ALL time.

[@rolandratz1]

In my time in 1967, under the influence of a little more alcohol, pregnant with songs like "A Whiter Shade Of Pale", "I Hearted Through The Grapevine" and "Nights In White Satin", I tried to take my own life because of an unrequited love. Thank God I didn't succeed, how I would have missed out on the great music and outstanding people that followed (like you). Today I am 74 years old and an incorrigible, hopeless optimist and absolute music freak...!

Such a pleasure watching you experience what everyone who has ever heard this song for the first time has also experienced. When John Lennon heard this for the first time on a cassette player while in a limo in London, he instructed his driver to keep driving while he played it over and over all day long. Great reaction

[@mwmrm2826]

Gary Brooker had one of the greatest rock voices of all time! This song broke all kinds of records and remains one of the top selling singles of all time! Needless to say, Procol Harum was so sadly, very underrated! I'm almost 70 and still floored by this song, for more than 55 years!

[@jeromedeparis]

It was the worldwide hit of the summer of 1967.

What makes older rock/pop songs so beautiful is that they're heavily influenced by classical music since the musicians had that kind of educationmost of the times

I have two musical memories growing up in the 60s that stand above anything else. The first time I ever heard The Beatles in 1963...and the first time I heard this song in 1967. Thanks for your wonderful reaction. Somehow his voice was still amazing here in 2006. We lost him fairly recently (RIP).

[@rolandratz1]

Hi Stacey - what makes the song so unique, in addition to Gary Brooker's mature voice, is the use of the legendary "Hammond" organ. This is characterized by the rotating speakers built into the organ. This creates the full, tremolo sound. The band, or rather Gary, wrote the title when he was 17, the song is from 1967. I was able to experience the development of this outstanding song. In 1967 I was 16 years old and slowly got to know the music of the world. Many memories are still present to me today, such as this song. Gary Brooker died in 2022 - R.I.P.

[@RandalWooten]

Whiter Shade of Pale, Nights in White Satin, Sgt Pepper- and really other great music was released in 1967. The Summer of Love.

[@raywood8187]

I am a child of the 60's and this was released when I was only 7 years old. But even then I loved it and would not trade that time of growing up for any other. I have never heard this played before with a full orchestra and as many times as I have heard this song, it still bought tears to my eyes.

[@Kuesel68]

One of the most reacted videos I think. Even though I have known this song for decades. This video was brought to me by all you reactors and I must say: THANK YOU!

Apart from the talent, it's about the deepness, the energy, the strength, the soul-piercing, the emotion that these singers from another time had, that a lot of current day singers lack.

[@fasterfasterdiecast]

The song, the performance, the voice, the band, the orchestra... the setting.An awesome example of a great song where the lyrics have no specific meaning - they are there to create a specific mood... but they mean everything while saying nothing. My imagination can picture "the ceiling flying away, the room humming harder, and skipping the light fandango'

[@karlsangree]

My first time seeing Procol Harum was in 1968 at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. They performed with Pink Floyd, The Troggs, and The Who in one of JFK's Summer Concert series. This one was called "The British Invasion". What a concert! I was only 15 at the time, and can remember taking a Reading Company (now SEPTA) train with a bunch of my friends. Good times.

[@windsorSJ]

I heard this when it was released back in '67. It was love at 1st listen and still gives me goosebumps.

[@MikeRileyAGS]

Gary Brooker is the pianist and lead singer. He was amazing! Sadly, he has passed. 😢

[@yoteca]

Talk about a perfect song. I remember reading that the meaning behind it is two lovers, who've lost the spark and are basically meeting to break up, both knowing it's over before anyone says anything. So incredibly told through the lyrics, you can almost feel the tension in the room and nervousness in them (turned a whiter shade of pale). The organ was intentionally used to give it that morbid, funeral like vibe. I really have no words to describe this song, so I'll just say that's art.

[@captainklutz3427]

I was fortunate enough to see them live once in the mid 1970's when they were promoting 'Something Magic' album . One of the best concerts I have ever attended.

[@airbrushaaron666]

IMO, one of the most beautiful songs ever written

[@suffolkaudiophile]

I met him once, in Germany when I was in Wuppertal for work, and we both checked into the same hotel, Procol Harum were playing in there... We both prop'd up the bar that night.. he was a lovely guy, and I felt privileged to have met him.

Another member of Procol Harum was a great guitar player named Robin Trower.......check out his album called "Bridge of Sighs"........i think youll really like it.

Gary Brooker (Piano, vocals) BJ Wilson (drums) and Robin Trower (guitar) was the iconic, core lineup of Procol Harem -- two albums SHINE ON BRIGHTLY and A SALTY DOG are classic early 70's Rock. Keith Reid was the lyricist......

[@BlueDragon53]

I first heard this when it was released in 1967 I was 14 and I have never forgotten it. It is part of the soundtrack of my life. It came out around as the same time as the Moody Blues Similar style of music equally as inspiring and groundbreaking. Great reaction Stacey!

it's incredible how Gary's voice got better and better as he got older . I remember seeing him doing a really stripped back version on a TV documentary , sitting in a little chapel I think sometime in the last 10 years or so - mostly just his voice - it was incredible . Sad that he's no longer with us , but what an amazing musical legacy he's left for us

[@SaintPhoenixx]

If you need any more context as to how influential Procol Harum were, when Gary Brooker (the lead singer) died in 2022, his funeral was attended by the two surviving Beatles, Tom Jones (who you should definitely delve into, what a voice), Elton John, Roger Taylor (from Queen) and Nick Mason, the drummer from Pink Floyd. He joined Eric Clatoon's band at one point. This was their only big hit (and the subsequent lawsuits over the song caused the band to split up) but they did have a few other great songs. Conquistador is a banger. Salty Dog is another great one. And Homburg.

[@sdholmess]

Procol Harum was one of the first rock concerts I ever saw when I was 15 years old in 1972. There was a brand new band that opened the show for them called the Eagles. My ticket to see these two great bands cost $4✌️😎

Also, lyrics: We skipped the light fandango Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor I was feeling kind of seasick But the crowd called out for more The room was humming harder As the ceiling flew away When we called out for another drink The waiter brought a tray And so it was that later As the miller told his tale That her face, at first just ghostly Turned a whiter shade of pale She said, "There is no reason And the truth is plain to see" But I wandered through my playing cards And would not let her be One of sixteen vestal virgins Who were leaving for the coast And although my eyes were open They might just as well have been closed And so it was that later As the miller told his tale That her face, at first just ghostly Turned a whiter shade of pale And so it was that later As the miller told his tale...

“I was trying to conjure a mood as much as tell a straightforward, girl-leaves-boy story. With the ceiling flying away and room humming harder, I wanted to paint an image of a scene. I wasn't trying to be mysterious with those images, I was trying to be evocative. I suppose it seems like a decadent scene I'm describing. But I was too young to have experienced any decadence, then. I might have been smoking when I conceived it, but not when I wrote. It was influenced by books, not drugs.” Keith Reid

[@randallshuck2976]

I first became aware of Procol Harum in the early 70s while living in England I actually saw a live performance before I left in 74. Not sure when this one was recorded but Gary Brooker was just as good as when I first heard him. R.I.P. Gary he shuffled off the stage in 2022.

The iconic songs "A Whiter Shade of Pale" and "Nights in White Satin" were arguably the most celebrated of the Baby Boomer era. They rivalled the Beatles' greatest hits, with "Here Comes the Sun" being a notable exception in terms of their enduring quality.

"A Salty Dog" is in the same vein as this. Saw them in '68 & again in the early 90's.

[@mikemiller3069]

Since it came out, with just the Hammond B-3 organ (no orchestra), it has always been one of my favorite songs. But the addition of the Danish National Orchestra and Choir, it took it to a whole new level. I've watched probably a dozen or more reactions to this version and it gets me every time.

I love the song, but the entire orchestral portion at the beginning is Bach's (and Wilhelmj's) "Air on a G String", which IS beautiful. It has inspired several other pop songs, too. Imagine that, musicians borrow from the best of other musicians (as he freely admitted), because good music is good music - even if the original is over 200 years old!

Hi Stacey, again what a wonderful reaction - I love your style! 💖 Procol Harum created in the late 60s a unique niche in crossing Rock Music with Baroque elements... they didn't use a lot of orchestras in their original recordings, but their keyboard work often did sound like a church organ. They had quite a string of excellent songs, 'A whiter Shade of Pale' though was their signature stamp. Here are a few more of their finest...: 'Homburg', 'Shine on Brightly', 'Quite rightly so' and 'The Milk of Human Kindness'. Enjoy!!! 🌈

[@blockstyletutoring6613]

Gary Brooker passed in 2022. This song was released as a single, but some versions of their first album "Procol Harum" (a great album on its own) sometimes adds this song to the track list. Personally, I prefer the single version. This version is a bit too orchestral and it changes the texture of the song. Try out "Conquistador" from their first album.

[@kenrathbun9383]

LOVE "Conquistador", but I honestly don't feel that song reached its full potential until they recorded it live with the Edmonton orchestra. I love the horns they threw in; they make it sound like a bullfight.

[@Leviathan0999]

I agree with ​@kenrathbun9383 , and I'll add that the version from this very concert is quite magnificent.

[@pablovandyck]

Conquistador is kind of prog rock indulgent. I would prefer "A Salty Dog" or "Repent Walpurgis" as a follow-up song for this band.

[@marciosevero1925]

I always say that never a drunken night playing cards with friends has been told so poetically. 😅

[@RykDavid]

Good saying!

[@classiclife7204]

Maybe the best song of the 1960s, and yes I'm aware of the Beatles. Musically, inspired by - without copying - Bach's Air on a G String and also "When a Man Loves a Woman" by Percy Sledge. Lyrically? The songwriter Keith Reid was trying to convey metaphorical images of a relationship. He said he was too young to know about drugs (the song has been accused of being about an acid-trip). Gary Brooker was an amazing singer, and a rare, rare case of delivering a live performance well into old age that is as rewarding as when he recorded it decades earlier. He died a couple years ago. The studio version, by the way, sounds like yellowing old photographs, if you know what I mean. That organ (no orchestration in the original) just SOUNDS like the Sixties. It's worth hearing too. It'll make you nostalgic for a time you never lived in.
