Procol Harum-Piggy Pig Pig

From the Australian TV Special, 1970.

Sourced from RU Tube.

This special is where the great video from Dead Man's Dream came from.
Somehow I have never seen this one on You Tube before. Nobody is really "playing" an instrument, but catch the organist!

Slightly different version from the LP.

Hope somebody will eventually post their performances from Midnight Special and In Concert from 73 and 74.

Keith Reid is "playing the organ" on the lip synch video. Of course on record Chris Copping played both bass and organ.

I do think this is an alternate version, though the changes are minor.

Keith can play keyboards did so as a kid then backed off

Thank you for the info. I wonder if you are in contact with Larry P; a well known Procol collector and afficionado. If you are, please say hello.

It is the earlier version produced by Matthew Fisher

@kpbroot Sounds differant from the record they could have recorded it live then mimiced it in the video

I saw them back Howlin' Wolf and play pure blues around '67 or so at Meadowbrook, outside of Detroit.

"back in the day" lip synced and staged performances like this were more often than not an original performance by the band. The band would record a live version in a controlled studio and then "act it out" or li sync to that new version for the film or TV show. Trower's solo is not the one from the album that's for sure.

GODAMM they still rock!
