@jeremy1000100 Well yes, that thought did occur to me! Although all our place names sound crap compared with those in Canada and America! Though I can't imagine Edmonton being used in any song!
-
My comment was entirely tongue in cheek, as anyone who has ever been to Edmonton in North London would realise
-
@bze2nlz4 OK, thanks for explaining this!
-
@manygate10 I changed the video description soon after 'jeremy's' comment, as it originally said only 'Edmonton'. His question was a valid one...and it was all settled over a year ago, but thanks.

@jeremy1000100 Re-read the opening comment! Unless you were having a pop at this orchestra...

This has to be one of the best rock-classical collaborations in modern music history. I wish I could have been there.

the sound quality of this recording is almost as remarkable as the performance. That goes beyond the incredible lyrical content of the poetry. A masterpiece.
Whenever an "oldies" radio station plays Procol Harum, 99% of the time it is Whiter Shade of Pale. That's a nice song, but Conquistador is much better.

@bze2nlz4 That concert was recorded at The Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium. Edmonton, Alberta took it's name from Fort Edmonton (a fur trading outpost) which, in turn, was given it's name from the English hometown of it's first Factor. This recording definitely put Edmonton, the ESO and the Jube on the map, and is still an oft-played, favourite of local "oldies" radio stations.
