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...

We used to cover this Procol Harum song:

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

That's Robin Trower, right?

[Basvarken]

Yes that's Trower.

Not sure if it was a Dutch broadcasting.

With that amount of smut it must have been!

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."

The Dutchman paid you for this, Michael, you fool me not!

😂

"The show was broadcast on Monday 15 december 1969 (ARD 21.00) and was subsequently revamped to represent Germany(!) at the 1970 Montreux TV Festival"

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.
