My favorite video on youtube! BJ Wilson is the best and Gary is unbelievable what a talent and funny guy in concert. So underrated it's sad! this is prog rock at it's sophisticated peak!
The piano solo is actually Ave Maria by Charles Gounod, it is true though that it is an improvisation on the melody of prelude no 1. I don't know why he called it Ave Maria though. It is IMO one of the most beautiful compositions ever. btw this is an awesome song, both Bach and Gounod would be proud
@badjaycl My thoughts exactly...you know, the only reason Bach didn't write compositions for piano, electric guitar or hammond organ was simply the fact that these instruments didn't exist yet in his lifetime...I am sure he would be inspired by the sound possibilities beyond expectations to expand that enormous musical creativity of him!
At my funeral, they can play "Repent Walpurgis" (Procol Harum can play if they'd like) and Funeral for a Friend (EJ, you, too, can play it if you'd like). After that, no one will have to say anything. Everyone will know everything about me and I will be able to go and rest in peace.
Thank you Gary, Matthew, Robin and the rest for 4+ decades of soul-touching music!
Dam... this song makes feel like..... gettin drunk one evening... alone, in my room, and cry a lot, take aout all that bullshit inside me... amazing performance...
ok... that's it! just finally decided 100% that "popular" music today plain sucks! There is no soul ... it's juts Big Money controlled filler and what it has in flash and control-freak MTV visuals it equally lacks in substance and expression. Oh well, there's still youtube to find gems like this! Love the Bach part!
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.
Mathew Fischer and Robin Trower were still in the band in'71 that's David Ball, it's a lovely rendition but if you had seen the former it was life changing religion
I still remember when I bought the LP soon after it was released. I was listening to this song again and again... nice, slow version. And great video and audio quality.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
just what is it about these guys that separates them from everyone else......no matter how many times I listen to them my emotions soar into the blue & back & usually wind up having a meeting....Harum's foot meeting my "arse"
Saw both Pink Floyd and PH in concert. Before flashpots and computers and light shows, they were equals in concert, song for song. A dream has always been seeing them jam together. And yes, they could both rock. Saw PH close a show with a smashing Good Golly Miss Molly, as if to say, Yeah we can do this too!
a whiter shade of pale was just a taste of what this band could do.......this is the ultimate composition.......ave maria.......and robin,gary,keith,mattthew,bjand david could play so much more than any other band that i can think of.........love u guys......more than u'll ever know.....bye the way.....got any nice.....mt holly.......1967......remeber SRC......love craig.....wasn't that trips road
Is Walpurgis from the album "Shine on Brightly"? It's is that same deep intricate style but one can't find anything from album these days.Yes, I think it really is, though with piano instead of harpsichord.
@Johneipi no, it's from their first self-titled album. a side story, i bought it at a garage sale without the sleeve and had no idea who they were, this was before the internet, etc. from Gary Brooker's voice i thought it was a black blues band. i even asked a plumber who was black that came to our house to do some work if he knew who they were and he had no idea :)) i still have that album and love all the songs on it.
I heard WSoP on a jukebox and began buying every LP released in the states. Limestreet Blues, the B side of the WSoP 45 never appeared on any albums until I bought CDs including collections of songs. They always had very good guitarists even Ball on the live w/ ESO album, but don't know which one is playing here. I think they pre-dated Robin Trower.
When I was 17 ,the classteacher said we should listen to Bach..but we were into early-Genesis or 70 ties rock...it was our generational-soundtrack...
Now...30 years later...Bach is everywhere into old ,into new , into MUSIC , into quitness and human-essence...clearly into The ESSENCE of things what LIFE is all about.
This song.... it's amazing! I heard it on the radio today, and was immediately entranced. Bares such a strong resemblance to Floyd, absolutely amazing.
@marcfedak yea that organ and a choir a differant direction for them then by the time they did dark side of the moon they were back into doing songs about outer space anti war songs and songs about eccentric people like on the first 2 albums then dark side was the biggest record
quiero tocar el piano y salir en un video decía el hijo de puta, el q la mueve es el teclas y el que hace todo, y el puto del piano que se chupe un choto!
I wish the youth of today could drift away from the bulls**t of today and see the beauty of the 60s and 70s and so forth. these days it is all the same. everything just to make money. most artists don't have the love for music. i wish these people would understand. i am 14 years old and lovee this music!
@Bentaboo Sometimes I have people llisten to music from the 60's, mostly featuring the Hammond organ. Many people know the sound from some of the current day songs, but they never knew it comes from an organ that's been around sinds the 1930's. Many don't know bands such as Procol Harum and BookerT and the MG's. A shame really.
But, sometimes... one guy at my work started collecting music featuring the Hammond like there's no tomorrow, after hearing "Time is Tight" from BookerT and the MG's :P
in the 70s gary brooker said procol harum didnt feel very self confident in the early years .yet look what they did. what we have today is loads of confidence and no talent
lol...234,000 views. Wow you sure are providing a service. People really love this 70's stuff. Do you see many young people listening? Once in awhile I get 22 yr olds playing the old classics. Even some singing Frank Sinatra. Kind of cool.
Starting at 4:20 you'll notice that Brooker is paraphrasing from Manuel de Falla's "Omaggio" (Homage to Heitor Villa-Lobos). Make the comparison - you'll see.
check out the version from union chapel. It has mathew fisher on organ who wrote it...Amazing performance of the song, not that this one is bad. Chris Copping was excellent on Hammond when he was with procol, as you can see on this great video.
Not a band in the world that can touch the greatness of Procol Harum.
When I was a ten year old kid (1977ish) I was peddling around on my paper route and stopped at an abandoned house to look around. Outside I found a paper bag with some trash in it and an 8-track tape that said Procol Harum on it. I took that tape home and plugged it into my stereo... it was then that I discovered what music was... I was 10 years old. I used to let it play over and over all night long with the green panel light lighting up the room. This song is a masterpiece.
I've listened Starless from King Crimson, A Saucerful of Secrets from Pink Floyd or Magma and the other bands. This bands are the best ever, but there is not my favourite song in those bands.
My favorite song is this one. That's so beautiful. Not so many people know this band, and it really is sad !
On a reunion tour in the 90's, in NYC, Gary Brooker said they had time for just one more song and asked the audience if they wanted Repent Walpurgis or A Whiter Shade Of Pale? The audience screamed for Repent and they played it. Then Gary said the promoter told him "you guys are great - play one more and I'll pay the union all the overtime" so they did A Whiter Shade. What a night.
when i was a little kid i named my pet guinea pig walpurgis after this song. everyone thought it was the coolest name. they didn't know the origin of the name. but i did! i loved this song. still do!
piano solo that starts at about 3:03 through 5:25 is actually Prelude No. 1 in C major from Book I of the Well-Tempered Clavier, composed by Johann Sebastian Bach in the year 1722. One of the most sublime pieces of music ever written, it's inclusion in this Procol Harum performance is ingenious and certainly welcome !
Well, the other numbers had words, going in to remove the mic for the last number would have benn a little odd, right?
Good version, by the way, it's very interesting to see the way that copping did "chords"Nice to hear the full prelude, too, just for a change, but i'm not very impressed by the guitarrist, liked thrower and whitehorn better
I'm with Marynightshade the Hammond has a beautiful 'dirty sound' with all the resonances making it somehow fatter than todays instruments only the Moog comes close.
My favorite song of all time. The emotions this piece brings out are incredible. Brilliant combination of rock and classical music. It always seems they simply can't put enough into this song...or pull enough out. I've played along many times on drums and it seems to call for more than anyone can give. It rolls, it climbs, it falls, it continues. A true masterpiece with no equal.
My favorite video on youtube! BJ Wilson is the best and Gary is unbelievable what a talent and funny guy in concert. So underrated it's sad! this is prog rock at it's sophisticated peak!

On a reunion tour in the 90's, in NYC, Gary Brooker said they had time for just one more song and asked the audience if they wanted Repent Walpurgis or A Whiter Shade Of Pale? The audience screamed for Repent and they played it. Then Gary said the promoter told him "you guys are great - play one more and I'll pay the union all the overtime" so they did A Whiter Shade. What a night.

For those not familiar with classical music, the
piano solo that starts at about 3:03 through 5:25 is actually Prelude No. 1 in C major from Book I of the Well-Tempered Clavier, composed by Johann Sebastian Bach in the year 1722. One of the most sublime pieces of music ever written, it's inclusion in this Procol Harum performance is ingenious and certainly welcome !

Well, the other numbers had words, going in to remove the mic for the last number would have benn a little odd, right?
Good version, by the way, it's very interesting to see the way that copping did "chords"Nice to hear the full prelude, too, just for a change, but i'm not very impressed by the guitarrist, liked thrower and whitehorn better

Love the mournful Hammond there-I dunno if I'd heard this one. Got "Broken Barricades" and "Salty Dog" on vinyl.

I'm with Marynightshade the Hammond has a beautiful 'dirty sound' with all the resonances making it somehow fatter than todays instruments only the Moog comes close.

My favorite song of all time. The emotions this piece brings out are incredible. Brilliant combination of rock and classical music. It always seems they simply can't put enough into this song...or pull enough out. I've played along many times on drums and it seems to call for more than anyone can give. It rolls, it climbs, it falls, it continues. A true masterpiece with no equal.
