Procol Harum - A Salty Dog Live @ Haarlem 2007

[BeachBoysGuy1]

This song always gives me chills !

[lovedandhis]

@BeachBoysGuy1 me too, its haunting

[kronlof2]

Only 30 days till I get to hear segals in the Snoqualmie Casino! FAROUT!

[pitstopbarney]

all hands on deck, we've run afloat!' I heard the captain cry

'explore the ship, replace the cook: let no one leave alive!'

Across the straits, around the horn: how far can sailors fly?

A twisted path, our tortured course, and no one left alive

[pitstopbarney]

We fired the gun, and burnt the mast, and rowed from ship to shore

The captain cried, we sailors wept: our tears were tears of joy

Now many moons and many junes have passed since we made land

A salty dog, this seaman's log: your witness my own hand

[KevindyII]

rurbert, I agree with you 110%! Nice to know I'm not alone in this world!

[rallyur]

*beginning does...

[rallyur]

any one know what brooker says at beggining of this wonderful song? something about before we go, seagulls? dose it make any sense.

[tonto48pronto]

@rallyur Nothing profound. He simply says - "Before we go, we'd like to play this for all our friends and for any seagulls that are listening."

[rallyur]

i see the capt. at the helm of a ship! true magic! sally thank you for sticking up for me. nothing better then that**

[cagliostrone1989]

sailor mutiny

[rurbert]

This and Whaling Stories are such masterpieces. Their early stuff was so artistic.

[lcasse]

[electrochubb]

Gary did better than the guitarist...ouch he screwed it up.

[adieuropa]

nice to see and hear that best song ever !!!

[starless1969]

a legend of rock!

[snufpark]

This song still paints a vivid picture. Gary hits a few "clunkers", and the dramatic pauses suggest he almost forgets the lyrics, but overall, a nice performance--and good sound quality. Looks like they haven't abandoned the old fold back speakers in favor of ear phones. It keeps it real.

35 years ago PH was my favorite band. They still sound good.
