Interesting. I'm not suggesting I got it 'right,' because I knew she'd love any good voice. But I'd taken it that she smiled at the applause more than the voice. Which brings me to the thought; she's a singer, and as one, it must be an amazing thing to think you could become the sort of singer that has songs where, you could hit only one or two notes, and just that alone would load a whole whack of joy into the audience's minds.

They pronounced themselves as "Pro-Cole" "Hair-em". That song was released in 1967 and it was HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE back in my days. This version with the orchestra, however, blows the original studio version away hands down. What a classic. This is one of those songs that a band just can't follow up. They had other great tunes but nothing like Whiter Shade Of Pale

The TV network I used to work for produced the "In Concert" series that included, (among many others), Procol Harum. It's why a symphony as minor as Edmonton's could end up being a part of a live platinum album. His voice seems remarkably similar--and just as good--as it was back then.

My mother, who was an organist for our church choir back in the day, wasn't necessarily a rock fan, but if something had a good keyboard she usually liked it. The original version of this song was one of those. The organ really hit the right notes (pun intended) with her. this is a good version, but I miss the prominent organ some.

I think the latter. Wouldn't life be sooo much better if we could just enjoy good music and respect humanity. Greetings from Tasmania, Australia. mark

In 1974, shortly after finishing my tour of duty in the service (USN), I was staying with some friends in Arlington, VA. We took the trip across the Potomac to the Kennedy Center, where we had the immense privilege of seeing Procol Harum perform many of their songs, but especially this one and “Conquistador”, both of which were (and are) amazing! Of course, there (in DC), they also had a full orchestra and choir to accompany them, and it was such an awesome experience that I have since then chosen to abstain from any other major concerts, instinctively inuiting that nothing else would ever measure up to that magical memory. As a result, the recollection still pulses sweetly and powerfully in my heart to this day. Thank you for sharing this with us!

Seeing young people, as yourselves, enjoy it for the right reasons, helps an old guy connect with the song, some 55 years after the fact. Thank you.
