Procol Harum live

Saturday, March 19th, 2005 | Personal | No Comments

Went and saw Procol Harum live yesterday with my father and brother. Gary Brooker, one of the key figures in the band, is now 60 years old, but despite the years passing he still had a great grasp on the vocals, with but a few exceptions (he was out of key a couple of times, but nothing major). We got to hear two of the long-standing favourites of mine, namely Conquistadors and the ever loved A Whiter Shade of Pale, the latter of which brought the progressive rock band to the top of the charts back in 1967. Definitely a great experience to see the band behind some of the songs I’ve listened to live.
