Gary Brooker

Gary went on his last cruise. May sixteen vestal virgins greet you skipping the light fandango!

Ok, not that song. Another one, I always liked this here better:



I only saw Procol Harum a few years ago - glad I did, this line-up here with Geoff Whitehorn (of If, Crawler and Roger Chapman) who's been with the band since the early 90ies.



I always dug this here, pretty lively for their usually more somber and melancholic style, that twin attack of a piano and an organ (played by separate players) really made them sound different.

I hadn't even heard about this yet.  Gary Brooker kept sounding great on vocals even as he aged.  Not an easy task for most.  He was a unique talent.  RIP...

Thank you for the alluring intro of that vid, Rob. Only in The Netherlands. :rolleyes:  :mrgreen:

That's Robin Trower, right?

Yes that's Trower.

Not sure if it was a Dutch broadcasting.

In the You Tube comments below the video someone said the performance is from a German Dusty Springfield special.  The DVD (which probably can no longer be found) was called "Dusty in Deutschland."

I'm too pleased with the recent CD purchases I have made the past few days to want to do anything dastardly to anyone.  As a prime example FedEx earlier today delivered the 5CD "Trouble No More" Allman Brothers box set.  I've just started listening to it, but this looks to be something outstanding.
