Why are people so bloody critical: 'needs Robin'; 'needs...a better guitar player'; 'needs BJ' etc.? It's bloody well played. Geoff Whitehorn is a world-class guitarist and he and Gary Brooker clearly have a great deal of respect for each other. It doesn't need the original players, because great songs deserve to be heard played in different ways. I personally prefer Mark Brzezicki's drumming but that doesn't stop me appreciating Geoff Dunn (?sp). Critics, try and do better yourselves.
I actually got to see them do this at the Santa Monica Civic in 1970...but with BJ Wilson and Robin Trower...it was a life changing experience...I can tell you that...
Great Guitar by Geoff Whitehorn. These two Guys talking about a better Guitar Player ;or Robin - have no idea what they are talking about. Sometimes its better to look for informations about this fantastic guitar player. That,s it
In a way it's a sort of shock to see these passionate and talented young men have become middle-aged (tho what else?), but still it's very nice to see them rocking on unabated. Why can't any of the current-generation alt bands play decent lead guitar?
He is taking one for the team playing this song but that being said.....Ok fine. Nothing against the man but, shouldn't the guitarist in Procol Harum - the guitarist who is on the stage PLAYING ACROSS FROM GARY be a little bit more than just good???? I admit to being hyper critical when it comes to things Procol but I'm looking for more. The riffs anyone can have, but the soul? well.... The soul is so hard to find.
ok, there are different opinions. I'm a Paler from the beginning. I know Trower very well and I was following his footsteps over the Bridge of Sighs. But Hell, I have seen Whitehorn half a dozen times playing with Procol and sorry - I can hear a soul playing, when the Whitehorn-Guitar is singing. Read my last report on procolharum-com and add /005/basel_ah-_pix.htm
Easy to see why Trower struck out on his own after A> discovering the Fender strat, B> discovering Hendrix,and C> writing his own guitar oriented songs. We are all the better for it (nothing against Procol).

Great performance. Needs B.J. Wilson, though. This guy's merely great. B.J's playing on this song was beyond belief.
