It's always wonderful to see Procol with Barrie on the drumzz. He was and always will be the eternal Procol drummer.This version of the band with Mick Grabham on guitar was also a very wonderful combination. I saw the Harum 22 times in the 60 's and 70's,and I can say without any hesitation,ANY BAND that had to follow the Harums amazing set (with Brooker,Trower,Fisher,and BJ) were in trouble,because their sound was like an electric symphony played by the GODS themselves.

Awesome!!

Thanks for posting!

Deagle---Amen! I saw P.H. in San Antone in 1970 the poor bastards that had to follow them were, if I am not mistaken, 10 Years After. I didn't even wait to listen to them. I went backstage and talked with Gary and Keith.

*sigh* Mick Ronson had his jaw on the floor when he heard Procol Harum just as everyone else in Britain and the rest of the developed world did. Fix up.

@mrkenray Go nibble on some dung chunklets, shit-lips.

It is a joy to listen to Wilson's sweeping drum fills. Hard to find such subtlety in music today.

@mrkenray

I believe there is a photo of Mr Kenray in the latest Webster's Dictionary under the word 'opinionated'.

listened to the whole thing, and I can't find anything of redeeming musical quality in this...screaming hippies playing unmelodic disjointed mathrock, and the guitar solos are just amateurish - look at contemporaries Mick Ronson, Steve Hunter, Dick Wagner...this is just crap. Might have been awesome to stoned hippies at the time, but review from here says it's junk.

Fucking hell! Two great guitar solos in one song and a brilliant melody. They just don't make music like this anymore.

[oliaiguambfigues76]

Fantastic! One of the best songs by one of the best rock bands:)

MrStigAndersen. Thank you. Poor sound quality here. At first I thought Brooker may have been referring to Carlsberg beer. What threw me off was his suggestion of a location. I understand that Carlsberg is made in Copenhagen. As well, I suppose, the addition of the word 'cheese' to this very cool song never sat well with me-the word just seems to hang there. Don't ask me why. Lactose intolerance perhaps.
