Love Procol Harem since I was 14 years old. I still enjoy listening to them at the age of 68!
I live near the city of Edmonton, Alberta, in Canada. This song used to be played A LOT by the local rock stations. And when I say it was played a lot, I mean I heard it so often I went to Wikipedia to find out what the deal with this song was. That was how I learned this song was recorded with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra! The city I was born in helped make one of Procul Harum's most popular songs, and I didn't even know, it blew my mind.
Sadly, this ended either a decade or half a decade ago. Now I NEVER hear Conquistador on the radio, and I assume it's because the radio stations were all bought out and have their playlists dictated by someone from Toronto or NYC. It sucks, please bring this song back to local radio.
I was at vintage record store a couple of years ago when I saw a whippersnapper who was about 20 holding an A Salty Dog album. I said to him "buy it; you can thank me later." He did. I was proud to give him advice on good music.
Such a sad but kick-ass song! Procol Harum was phenomenal! 😎💜
Well said
I agree. I saw Procol Harum 4 times live with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. Cheers! ✌️
Another classic song from one of the best British bands Procol Harum,RIP Gary and Keith your music is your legacy
What a great underappreciated song! Not to mention a great band
It's such a treat to hear this song from yesteryear!!! Takes me back to when I was a kid...though I hope for...! 🤙💯
As much as I loved this song from the live album back in 1972, I'm thinking it's even more meaningful to me now, more than 50 years later. Great vocals and instrumentation. I would urge anyone to watch this entire episode from London. It was magnificent.
THANK YOU MIDNIGHT SPECIAL!!!
PROCOL HARUM RULE!!!!
Oh, marvelous!😊
I had this on 45 originally. I played it and the flip side, 'Salty Dog' so much the 45 gave up the ghost so I bought th LP. It's great to hear this again.
Sorry to see you go Gary.
And again Chris's wonderful Hammonds.
I always loved this song when it played on the radio back in 1973 and 1974 during the summer while we were out on our boat in the San Juan Islands here in Washington State.
memories like that almost have a flavor for me, hence 'flavor memories' ~indescribable
One for me is ~'72 hearing 'Saturday in the Park' at the pool, bright sunny day
@rosskstar
Oh yes.
Another Classic song that meant it was summertime.
Those were good times my friend.
You definitely don't feel that when you hear Regular radio play these days.
I only listen to the classic rock radio channel here in seattle. (KZOK)
@@TheErik249 It's a very beneficial sensation, like a memory gummy for the soul. A PEZ dispenser we always carry.
Life is a gift.
Great Band love the organ peace and love
Great performance, I once again say I was born too late, better music and really skilled musicians
BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Hammond B3 was the greatest!!!
What a voice, what a band!
Fabulous Song,
Makes me feel as if I’m floating high up in the clouds …. ⛅️ soaring ….
The drumming there was phenomenal 😎☝️
"you reek of purity" So good!
Wow! Right out of my AM memories!
Good music is good 🎵😊!
Studying for finals at UConn sophomore year. Played throughout the dorm.
Good luck!
I actually like this song better than whiter shade of pale
You got that right...this was an awesome song!
Don’t tell any one!
Who filmed this? BJ Wilson was drumming his heart out and there wasn't one single shot of him.
It came from an old Tv Show that had great music. I agree with you the director of this performance missed the mark by a thousand miles. When this show first appeared I don't think they had a real budget to work with. Probably only had 2 tv cameras. Very limited. It did get better when Burt Sugarman started producing it a few years latter. At least we did get very good audio for a show the executives thought would be a failure. Started on NBC in the 70' s
@@larryfried7742 I remember The Midnight Special quite well (I'm 59). That and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert were must see TV back in the day. It's just they've got this dynamic drummer in BJ Wilson really doing his thing and not one camera on him?
Yes the drummer has to die or almost die(BRich-Dominican Republic solo, Bonham, Moon, Peart) to get any notoriety !
I'm suspicious of whether the drums were live or not. In the opening wide shot, you can clearly see that the drummer is not playing what you are hearing. I suspect that the drummer is miming/playing as quietly as possible. We've seen a number of MS performers where some or all of the instruments are playbacks with only lead vocals being live.
This show was so far ahead of its time with regards to audio mixing for broadcast. Burt Sugarmann had an incredible crew. You should listen to his interview with Bob Lefzets
Wonderful. one of my all time preffered song.
Great song and band
Nunca había visto este video, es genial. Esta es una de las muy buenas canciones de Procol Harum, con el característico sonido del órgano Hammond, aunque me gusta más la versión sinfónica que tocaron en vivo en Alberta, Canada. y que quedó registrado en el álbum "Procol Harum Live: In Concert with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra".
En la Filbo Bogota, esta semana estaba en la venta su Lp. Caratula con la orquestacion ubicada y dispuesta a ejecutar. Stand venta de libros y Lp usados.
Fantastic !
Whew super talent
❤
I read that the original recording was done on one take with the full orchestra!
Has kind of a Jethro Tull vibe imo
Very awesome!
This is so underrated by those who havent heard it
Timeless classic.
Nice burst
Somehow the drummer reminds me of Keith Moon😮
Por favor que regalazo, esta melodia me llena de paralismos culturales, sociologicos, hermeneuticos .etc. comparado con Italo Calvino y las sociedades invisibles. O el caballeto de la marmadura y exagerando con oh Charitas de Cat Stevens. Viva la academia dichosos 60s y 70s. Desde Delh Holanda.
I loved this back in the early 70s, but the musicianship and recording quality here are quite poor. You'll do much better to listen to the version 30 years later. Incredible! th-cam.com/video/t-zti_qAHsA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=C92hFG0kb4AtTH6V
He's pronunciation of Conquistador is wrong. It's Con KEEST ador. Not Con QUIST ador.
Yes, we're all aware of that. The Brits often pronounce words incorrectly (most of them say "tay-co" instead of "tah-co"). They do it, we Yanks do it, that's just the way it is.
you waited an awful long time to tell them.
It is true that language usage and pronunciation differ according to region. For instance, where I come from, we usually say, "His pronunciation," not "He's pronunciation."
