- In grateful memory to Gary Brooker (1945-2022)
Procol Harum performing the "REUNION" concert with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and Greenwood Singers at the Jubilee Auditorium 29/30 May 1992
Line up:
Gary Brooker- voc, piano
Don Snow- org
Mark Brzezicki- dr
Geoff Whitehorn- guit
Dave Bronze- bass
David Hoyt - conductor
"Conquistador" originally was released on Procols first album (1967).
The orchestrated version, taken from the "Live with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra" LP (1972) was a hit single in many countries.
The 1992 REUNION concert in Edmonton celebrated the 20th anniversary of Procol's most successful album release.
The band performed Conquistador twice: this is part of the regular second set, the euphoric fourth (!) encore will be a separate upload (highly recommended). - เพลง
Absolutely fantastic!!! Gary Brooker with a tremendous vocal delivery. The orchestra nailed it. I can't say enough. This song touches me to the core.
A song that stands the test of time. Truly magnificent. Brings back floods of memories.
This is the song I need to hear tonight. God bless you.
One of my favorite songs with a story told. That standing ovation was something special. Gary Brooker, Procol Harum and the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra nailed it solid. God Bless.
All the musicians in this video were bang on !! 👍🏻🎵🎶🎸
Да, очень круто!👍
❤
You're very right.
It was my favorite group from the late 60's and beginning 70's.
I had all their records and have seen two times a concert of them.
Ofcourse they were not as famous as some other British groups, but real fans could appreciate them.
With "A whiter shade of pale" they made one of the best songs ever recordered and it will have good memories to many people and is my "all time" favorite song.
May they both rest in peace, Mr. Gary Brooker and Mr. Keith Reid and let us be thankful for all the beautiful songs they made for us.
Such an epic piece! Always loved it. Just great.
I was 12 when I first heard this. Love it since. Hauntingly beautiful! RIP Gary Brooker!
We're about the same age. I was 12 yrs old in 1967. I think 1st heard this song maybe December 1967.
What a fabulous matching of Gary's voice his band , Edmonton Band .It will never be matched !
What a trip that must have been for the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.
Thank God for these great recordings, Gary and the gang deserve all the immortality this brings. Generations will love this song far, far into the future. . . .
I have listened to ConQ a 100 + times. It is my Anthem. The guitar and organ solos are thrilling. Brooker is a treasurer. I am so thankful to a pal who introduced me to PH 2 years ago. I did the same for dozens of my friends. PH and this work will live forever. Selby Scottsdale AZ

Magnificent! They don't make 'em like this anymore and never will. This man had an amazing voice. R.I.P.
Absolutely amazing!
What an honour and privilege to have seen this today for the first time
I was there in person. This was incredible. I'd like to see more of this. Cheers! ✌️
Me also. Feb 14,2023. First time seeing this.....Goosebumps....
I think I was 11 or 12 years old when I heard this song for the first time. It's one of the songs that has stuck with me. I have always loved how Procol Harum uses symphonies in there productions. RIP Gary. ❤️😥
Wow, I feel.exactly the same. Age, this brings me back to, the feeling. I love the music, Gary Brooker. He loved to make great music. Absolutely.the best. God bless Gary Brooker. God Bless you.
I was 18 in 1972 when I first heard this. It might have been the year it was released. I also heard for the first time Nights In White Satin in summer of 1972. Both used orchestras for background
@@lawrencemay8671 If I recall correctly, "Conquistador" originally came out in 1967, and wasn't one of their greatest successes at that time. However, in 1971 or '72, they rerecorded it with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra (which really *made* the whole song, in my opinion), and the new version became a huge international hit. Either way, it was a truly epic song that deserved all the airplay it could get!
As for "Nights In White Satin," that was also a great track from this amazingly talented group.😉
@@lawrencemay8671 Procol and the Moodies were 2 of the GREATEST prog-rock bands of all-time, eh? I was 21 in 1972 and grew up with them! 💖💖🎵🎵🎹🎹
you can see it on their faces, they knew they nailed it, classic song
Gary booker is a king of rock and roll.
Love this man, Gary Brooker. I'm still mourning his death.
me too.
I love him too ❤
This song came out of nowhere, so unique, one of a kind, but was fully excepted as one of the great tunes of it's time
So true sir . . . . .and beginning of social awareness of how us in North American actually got here
Never get tired of this. Thanks to the Late Gary Brooker Family.
Magnificent!!! ❤
Man, his voice still sounded great! I always thought this was such an evocative song, it’s great to see people still enjoy it.
The internet does have its good moments to view this is one for me...
Excellent.....✌
These CLASSICAL BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECES OF MUSIC Our parents thought ROCK WAS DISGUSTING in those Days but look today as MUSIC HAS TRULY DIED CHILDREN AND YOUNG KIDS OF TODAY HAVE NO NO IMAGINATION THEY LIVE THEIR WORLD ON A DUMMY BOX ( THE COMPUTER ) as these people thought up these LYRICS ALL ON THEIR OWN!! What we have lost can NEVER TRULY BE REGAINED OR REPLACED! I GREW IN A WONDERFUL TIME OF THE ARTS IT WAS TRULY THE END OF THE OLD WORLD!!
Rest In Peace, Gary Brooker!
One if not the first 45rpms I bought from our local 5 and 10 cents store. 55 years later I still can't get enough.
Thank you so much for uploading this. He sounded magnificent even as he aged older. I miss him.

Excellent Brooker and Whitehorn.Good,old days of true rock music.
I love this song brings me back to the early 70's
I was working at the Jubilee Auditorium when they performed, and got the lucky straw and was able to stand in the back and watch. The energy was electrifying. An incredible performance.
I never get tired of the Classic. We had some great music back in the late 60s and 70s. We miss you Gary.
Miss You,GB&PH very much ❤!
A fabulous song by Procol Harum. A full orchestra! Just great! The guitar sole in the middle of that orchestration was amazing!
Sometimes a classic is born out of an original - I grew up on this version and didn’t even know until 3 years ago there was an original without the orchestra.
The orchestra adds so much to this and turned the song into an instant classic hit. I don’t know who scored it, but they NAILED it.
Yes I agree the orchestra added a lot to the song. RIP Gary.
FANTASTIC
Now that's what is called jammin'. Thanks for posting, I always wanted to see the orchestra behind the song.
Great Music !
My favorite by you guys, but of course there were many 💕💕 RIP Gary!
I was super lucky to be a kid when this stuff came out. So, i did the proper thing and bought the stereo of my dreams made in 1978 to play this music on.
Would have LOVED to have been there for the original recording so many years ago. Saw P.C. about 15 years ago at Ontario place. Not the same without an orchastra, but still damn good. But, this is the next best thing to being there.
The best version of this
Back again, 14 April 2024. Thanks again.
R.I.P Gary Brooker ㅠㅠ
I was there when this was recorded. 1972, I think, at the Jubilee Auditorium in Edmonton, AB. We were on the balcony, and the sound was incredible, Seats plush & comfy. A friend had just moved to England to play music. He was stunned that nothing was happening in London, and PC was recording with the ESO. I also knew some of the members of the symphony! Great night!
I bet that show was pretty epic😊 I'm guessing you saw the original who and Lynyrd Skynyrd?
My brother attended the original ESO concert in Edmonton in 1972 with Procul Harum. Best concert he attended. The Jubilee is a very nice theatre.
Wow. Beautiful.
Never gets old
Brooker is an immortal!
More please! (same message basically as the audience in Edmonton on the night)
Wow that was good that was powerful thank you
Wow! What can be said? Masterfully written and performed by one and all.

The singer is Gary Brooker, who passed away from cancer, on February 19, at age 76. I was at this concert. It was great. Cheers! ✌️

I've always loved this song. RIP Gary B..
Me too, but I didn’t know what the name of it was
Superb
Thanks for that memory
tenia 17 años, añps 72, en chile, recorriamos la region del bio bio, con un tocacintas escuchando una y otra vez esta musica reveladora, esperanzadora, sin saber una gota de ingles, pero percibiendo un buen sentimiento en ella, ahora gracias al traductor se , que el conquistador revela de cuerpo entero la tragedia y el frenesi de ir a tierras extrañas y avanzar estoico por la vida, luchando y triunfando contra todo lo que trate de detenerte de tu cometido noble.
Omg that was so good.
That organ is badass!
Gary Booker RIP
WHAAAT? 😮 I did not know Gary had passed away. If it wasn't for TH-cam I wouldn;t know hardly ANY news anymore because regular news always talks about the same worn-out people that the USA never looks beyond. A very great singing voice had Gary.😔
Gary..RIP.grande...
A loss to the music World.
Haven't seen this video yet. Simply outstanding.
evolution of a song
Gives Standing O new meaning
Awesome!!! There was a marching band version (or some sort of instrumental version) of this song I can't find anywhere!!
Wow! That was a wonderful experience!
Perfect
Yes it is... 100% Perfect
goosebumps
Bought this album when it first came out, I think I paid $2.98 for it. Bought it at the original Kohl's store before it turned in to a national chain, would play this over and over on my Panasonic stereo as loud as I could, I'm 68 now, what an amazing album, still have it in my collection

❤❤❤❤❤Danke für die Performance ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂
Procul Harem was one of a Handfull ( one hand) of British Musical Ensembles populated by the finest Musicians ever to require concentration of thought to participate and create literary value in actual high brow story. Their tales were not for head banging idiots. I was able to borrow the French
Pressing of the first Lp in ? 1966. When one noticed the “ WORDS KEITH REID” on each Cover and how respectfully they always acknowledged this Lyricist. It was something
they alone choose to do.
This man was a genius capable of elevating an art form of story. When Ringo Starr asked which
song was most definitive of his Bands Generation he stated instantly (A Whiter Shade of Pale) insinuating nothing the Beatles had created was comparable. Gary Brooker participant in the honoring of almost every Musician awarded or passed was so highly respected by his peers he was the unequalled Statesman until his passing. One could write so much about these fellows Mathew Fisher , Robin Trower. A Salty Dog who else could have pulled that one off. God Bless them standing and in Heaven.
Procol Harem have always been a prog or protoprog band. A whiter shade of pale must have been the first prog song, single. And conquistador is absolutely prog rock .
💖💖💖❤️💐

The lead trumpet player is great.
The best of the best
