[609edcornell]

Get the DVD at Amazon- it is beautiful. Also the Union Chapel live session is out on Blu-Ray- wonderful with Matthew Fisher!!!!!

[AlbericoMelo57]

Fabuloso!

[yakhiba]

One of the greatest bands ever!! ...and one of the most beautiful songs...if I had to choose one from their repertoire. As other PH's songs it touches my soul to tears.

[yepheth]

i wonder why that russian aria...Hotel Lubianka?

[963852art]

PH are easy in the category of "Top Quality Prog".

[TheBoxfitter]

Breathtakingly wonderful. Gary sounds as good as ever.

[erosmarazzi]

capolavoro!!!!!!!!!!!

[mikaelhas]

I was at the concert with my dear sister - it was a fantastic experience with the beautiful baroque garden, the sunshine, the music.

[jazzforrum]

W latach siedemdziesiątych miałem nagrane piosenki Procol Harum na magnetofonie szpulowym. Słuchałem ich na okrągło. To był dla nas, żyjących w komunistycznym kraju, powiew wolności. Byłem na koncercie tego zespołu. koncert odbył się we Wrocławiu.

In the seventies I had a song recorded on tape Procol Harum spindle. I listened to them over and over. It was for us, living in a communist country, a breath of freedom. I was at a concert of this band. The concert was held in Wroclaw.

[SFCBenny57]

One of my favorite songs of all time! I love the high class and respectability degenerating into complete debauchery just like a Republican fundraiser!

[sjpw62]

this is so awesome. and the audience needs to be replaced.  They have no energy at all ha ha

[thrasher218]

@sjpw62 they're too busy enjoying the music to scream through it

[kjallesoft]

Oh boy , that violin, that touch !

[peltovsk]

Głos nie do zdarcia , super impreza......

[jimmyheadkeeper]

Music is a piece of heaven on earth as is love. Music like this and love never die when all else goes away.

[HailBee]

Merci !!

[BigMalk1]

Happy Birthday Geoff Whitehorn

[MrHaywoodJabuzzoff]

Absolutely stunning. One of my favorite voices of all time. But that crowd of octogenerians! I guess it's just an American thing, but I would have been the only one high-five-ing the trees.

[robvan57]

still sends shivers down my spine. each and every time again!

[NobleJoyous]

Terrific on many levels, but the original recording of this goes back a few decades. This once again begs the question, "What the *&^% happened to popular music?"

[postalfnj]

I like the video on Conquistador the best

[epixxphoto]

Grand Music!

[duckdaotsu]

tonite I am grateful that I lived long enough to see this.

[quazikowski]

???Czy ktoś mógłby mi pomó.chodzi mi o taki utwór Brokera w teledysku z tańczącym Indianinem.Nie pamiętam tytułu???Jeśli ktoś kojarzy.Proszę o info.To było w latach 80/90 przełom.Z góry dzięki.

[JesusKrispies]

The big orchestral break in the middle is the soundtrack to the end of the universe.

[patreid100]

As far as I can remember the lovely and superb Julie Eskaer was the violinist in question. She was also very close to adding to her family at the time ! Top lady.

[technocrash09]

@patreid100 I was wondering about that! She has that "New Mommy" glow about her :)

[TheRealRockomondo]

Wow ! Leaves me speechless....

[Vicomovie]

Waanzinnig goed!

[Hornycus]

@Vicomovie ech wel

[MrRsbox]

Wunderbar, grossartig!!!

[assureur92]

Sans aucun doute le meilleur album du groupe!

[JMarshallBeckham0952]

I have always enjoyed Gary Brooker's storytelling songs such as "Grand Hotel", and "A Salty Dog"...

[MARCFICH56]

encore !!!

[datchanin]

Love Procol Harum? Try to check out this danish group on youtube: moi Caprice - Postcard Margins The song is kind of simular to Procol Harums Grand Hotel.

Just WONDERFULL.....

[58mariamar]

adoro



[romeo17043]

All the videos from this concert are great. I don't know which one I like the best. It may be a toss-up between this and A Salty Dog.

[albertoexp]

who is the violinist?



[robvan57]

can't stop playing this vid! best procol ever.

[JMarshallBeckham0952]

@robvan57 I agree with you here-GREAT VIDEO!!!

[TheBitterSweetgr]

Those serenades,sarabandes and peach flambees will never reach Greece....what a pity....we're full of shit like Iron maiden and Deep Purple....EVERY YEAR....but this....NEVER

[JMarshallBeckham0952]

What a beautiful live version of "Grand Hotel"! Does this song touch your soul like it does mind? Listen to the music, and study the beautiful day and its surrounding as you listen to the music!  This song reminds me that I still haven't found something missing in my life?

[Davidindigitaland]

Extraordinary performance, what a pucka mix!!! Wish I'd been there to groove n' move and heckle!

[technocrash09]

@Davidindigitaland What gets me is this audience. "Audience by rent-a-corpse"???

Jeeeeezuz people, that's Gary-freakin-Brooker up there!! Look alive, fer Pete's sake!

*I am like you with the groovin'-movin' and hecklin' part!* I would have been playin air piano, air guitar and singin like I was in the shower!

peace

[technocrash09]

I am a die-hard Procol fan and would have given my LIFE to have been here (I DID see them in '93 in Philadelphia and will never forget that night as long as I live! They were without an orchestra and still did A Salty Dog flawlessly---they did NOT do Grand Hotel).

[130551996]

The restaurant at the end of the universe!

[MrGribenson]

Very close to the original sound, maybe just a little too polished, and we miss BJ.

Well done DR.

[wrobdzej]

Fantastic sound...and music...it goes back at least 43 years back...Whiter shade of pale...Anybody hears it?

[bv90andy]

The restaurant at the end of the universe :)

[oldbump]

Well...what can I say ?

[alfredosalinas1977]

Gran canciòn del año 73, espectacular vista desde el castillo de Ledreborg en Dinamarca

[teuc09]

Still love this song from 1973.

[rezeski]

@teuc09 : This is one of the greatest songs ever. And this performance is out of this world.

[horacioantoniob]

Impresionante!!! la mejor banda de todos los tiempos, los músicos cambiaron pero el sonido es siempre increíble, perfecto!!!

[betokkikke]

What a beautiful cadenza is sung in Keith Reid's verse "it's serenade and sarabande..." !!! Wonderful music, lovely and so deep feelings heart-beating yo my soul through the whole piece! ¡¡¡Gracias, Procol coros y orquesta son lo máximo!!!

[geraldmixer]

Wow! This was one of my favorite bands as a teenager. I looked forward to their next record with eager anticipation. I saw them live on several occasions. It's wonderful to see this performance. They are in some ways better than ever. This is inspirational. Thanks for posting.

[thebluemeanie88]

Violin solo was one of the most gorgeous things I've ever heard

[technocrash09]

@thebluemeanie88 I wonder who she is? And I wonder about her instrument (vintage Strad possibly?)

[cappetelli]

Wonderful song, Amazing voice, in other words: awesome!

[mundi67]

Amazing!

[mundi67]

Amazing!
