Another composition of mine comepletely misconstrued. The angst portrayed in this song is not a symbol of "Good vs.Bad", but of the unbearable feeling of having live cockroaches running around inside of my shirt along with the struggle to remove them forever.
Thank you for this great post, patt0x, muchas gracias! What beautiful photographs to accompany this amazing music.
PH fans may be interested to know that Salvo Records have been remastering the entire Procol catalogue. The Salvo reissue of this album also includes a gorgeous live version of Luskus Delph, and two pieces recorded at the rehersal but not included in the original (Simple Sister and Shine on Brightly). The fan site Beyond the Pale has all the details.
You're welcome! I should have mentioned that the site Beyond the Pale is found at procolharum - usual punction mark - com (there are other similarly named sites I cannot vouch for)
Even before PH recorded with the Edmonton Symphony they performed with orchestra at the Stratford Shakespearean Festival in Ontario in July 1969. I went with my parents and PH perfomed this number. Brought the house down. I don't think anything before or since brought my father and me closer together (may he rest in peace).
I too had a life-changing experience when I first heard Procol Harums music.
Attented both og their concerts in Aalborg - once in 1973 and again in 2006.
Gary rules - and Matthew Fisher too. Such a shame that they can't agree on AWSOP and had to split again. Happy to see PH's portfolio is rising on YouTube - who the f.. is Britney Spears anywayu?
beautiful powerful event....changed my life as a lad...thank goodness someone with a heart and brain was at the console..to capture this....nuff said....see you again BJ.......
GAWD, I remember that well! PH's performance with the Edmonton Symphony and the de Camera Singers stands well above nearly everything before or since in R&R. AWESOME!
IMHO, the Edmonton Gig and the resultant album was the absolute zenith of PH's rising star.
The synergy of Band, Orchestra and choir was sublime.
If even a fragment of footage was ever uncovered of this concert, I would probably sell my children, after consultation with them of course, to own it.
Trouble is, they would do the same...but they wouldn't get as much:-)
Hello PH fans! Is there anybody among you who can translate the titel into german or at least to give me an interpretation of the meaning. thank you very much. greetings from zurich, switzerland!
Scorsese films "The Last Waltz" by the Band...they couldn't find some starving Canadian filmaker in Edmonton?...and I agree with Hurleyp and if anyone was there for this concert would DEFINATELY
Actually Robin had left a few months prior to this concert. The fretman here is Dave Ball, the very tall chap who only played with PH for about a year. Also new to the line-up was bass player Alan Cartwright, whose arrival allowed Chris Copping to "only" play organ (previously he had been on organ AND bass).
a little Bach perhaps? Beautiful!

This is the song that inspired Sylvester Stallone to be a writer.

Heya... curiously, the title is just the first word of each 5 segments of the original song... It doesn't mean anything at all :)
miguellevy 3 years ago
Although mullwharchar may be right about the title's origin, IMHO it's a very obvious variation of "In Hell Twas I," describing his state of mind.
