PROCOL HARUM - Simple Sister - PURPLE ROCKS VINTAGE

[uspscsx]

There's a much better, live version of this on YouTube.  It's identified as "live in TV '71". Can't imagine why it wasn't posted as "Simple Sister", but anyway, give it a watch/listen. It's quite excellent!

[cathoderoy]

Wow, you taped the original audio version from a scratched up record so people would look at your clothes?? How lame....

[bassandguitarguy]

This has always been my favorite from this LP

Have all the Vinyl. Never got to see them live.

ps - It's lyricist Keit Reid's 62nd today -10-19-08 Sunday!

[aloneagin]

i sold blood to hear these guys

[unclenk]

Saw them at the Felt Forum in the 70's with the orchestra - this and Whiskey Train are supreme - I won't forget that concert anytime soon

[guitarcynic]

It's been nearly 40-years - I don't think you'll ever forget!!!

As well you shouldn't!!!

Glad to hear you saw them in the 70s.

[JingleDingle]

unclenk...the concert may have been unforgettable, but one thing you did actually forget: they've indeed played with an orchestra many times, and they'd played at the Felt Forum a number of times, but never there with an orchestra.

Anyway, Procol Harum WERE an orchestra (and still are...and they still sound incredible).

[backthisway]

yep - you can spot Trowers vib immediately. Great sound.

[piosta18]

Rock'n'roll rocks on!

[SwampDog1957]

Yes this does stir a lot of memories for nostalgic geezers such as I. Love it!

[bud4207]

BRING BACK THE GOOD OLE DAYS OF ROCK N ROLL!it was so much better then.

[tonkamine]

That is the unmistakable sound and style of Robin Trower on guitar!! Wow...

[thirtysevenfred]

Yes I'm gonna see RT in Florida and I'm so happy!!!

This song is so awesome - something you'll never hear on those shitbox classic rock stations!

How about the driving piano?

[tonkamine]

Thats really great--do you happen to have Song For A Dreamer?

[buffalo611]

That's funny that you ask, one of the first video's I tried to upload was Song For A Dreamer. That was before I realized that anything over six minutes wouldn't work. I Love that song.

[tonkamine]

Oh man, could you upload it in two parts? I'd love to hear that song.

[nix4tube]

Great track, but you can get it on CD without the crackles... and the remastered edition is very good.

[cheezpuffdaddy]

That was flat out BANGING from beginning to the end! Thanks!!
