Questi sono fra i musicisti e i brani musicali di quel periodo che sono convinto rendano irripetibili quegli anni, ho avuto il privilegio di viverli da adolescente e credo sia stata una grande fortuna poter ascoltare da contemporaneo composizioni di questo livello . Riascoltare oggi che sono ormai settantenne questo pezzo che mi aveva incantato allora, mi ha fatto provare, amplificate le stesse emozioni e lo stesso stupore. Grazie per sempre.
@@giovannibiolcati6162 Francamente mi sfugge il senso del suo commento, l'informazione mi pare di scarsissimo interesse e comunque non aggiunge niente al valore musicale del brano. Quindi???
@@michelesbazzeguti1791 era solo un ricordo di gioventù, le chiedo umilmente scusa per avere suscitato in lei tanto disgusto da replicare al mio miserabile commento.
@@giovannibiolcati6162 Che paroloni, dal tono della risposta deduco che lei mi abbia catalogato come un vecchio rincoglionito; voglio solo chiarire che il suo commento mi è parso inopportuno perchè dà l'idea che il brano sia stato commissionato apposta dagli autori della trasmissione (che certo avevano ottimi gusti perchè la sigla di apertura era "She came in through the bathroom window" nella versione di Joe Cocker).
Queste melodie, purtroppo, non si fanno più. Sarà che i tempi sono cambiati, ma sono certo che questo brano, che per me è uno dei più belli del secolo scorso, continuerà ad essere ascoltato e apprezzato negli anni a venire: i brani odierni dopo un mese hanno già stancato e passano velocemente nel dimenticatoio.
I bought A Salty Dog in the early seventies because I found it was a wonderful song, but this live version with choir and orchestra is even more than wonderful and Brooker's voice, after so many years, is still thrilling….incredible!
@@stoutblackcat This song and this performance is one for The Angels! I play Procol Harum in my car from time to time with coworkers on the way to lunch or training sessions or field trips and Brooker and company always inspire awe.
Gary Booker and Band/Orchestra! UNBELIEVABLE PERRFORMANCE! The absolute best I have ever heard! And I have heard so many........to sound this good 40 years later a performer extraordinaire.....Thank you all that were on that stage for the remarkable performance!
This arrangement of this song is SUPREME! R.I.P. Gary Brooker, you were a rare talent. Long reign Procol Harum, one of the great rock groups to emerge from England! Absolute travesty they aren't in the R&R Hall of Fame.
Finally, an old rocker who still cares about a quality performance. Can't tell you how many acts I've seen these days who go out to perform, I suppose, for a "pay day", and they absolutely suck in terms of vocals and instrumentation. I saw Gary Brooker do this and all the other big Procol Harum hits at the Grande Ballroom (Detroit) in 1968 and he's still got it. Kudos to him for respecting the music AND himself.
Una meraviglia di canzone. Mi trasporta in un'altra dimensione, con sensazioni intense, entra nella profondità della mia anima. La ascolto e riascolto, spessissimo.
I keep coming back to this video. It's just stunning how his singular voice can command the stage with all those instruments and the size of the audience and outside. It's just magnificent to me.
In Italia, era la sigla di chiusura di un programma televisivo per ragazzi intitolato "avventura"..... Quanti ricordi.... Ho un nodo alla gola...... Grazie mille....
Masterpiece. Have loved this song as well since it was originally released...always dug deep into my heart & brought me to tears from it's beauty. Now, so many years later, my grandson is an Enlisted US Navy Sailor so it means that much more to me. 💙⚓🇱🇷😢
I first heard this song when I was 15 years old, instantly liked it, and - now in my sixties - still think that this is one of the really great pieces of 20st century music. Thank you for this great performance. RIP Gary Brooker!
grandioso brano che rimarrà in eterno...bellissima questa versione con coro e orchestra... Gary riposa in pace e grazie per la musica che ci hai regalato...
Sono nato quando e' nata questa canzone ed ho la fortuna di avere un fratello molto piu' vecchio di me che mi ha fatto crescere con musica di questo genere... Che infanzia stupenda ho avuto e che ricordi!
`I was 14 in '67 in a carpool headed to High School when PH playing WSOP came on the AM car radio. I didn't know it at the time but that moment changed my life and set me on a path to a life seduced, consumed and devoured by music. I had a desultory interest in various rock groups like the Animals, Kinks, Zombies and Yardbirds etc., the first British Invasion. But when I heard the rock solid Blue-eyed soul of Gary Brooker coupled with the PH blend of Baroque/Classical/proto-Metal (see Repent Walpurgis) musical coalescence along with Keith Reid's inscrutable, Delphic and enigmatic lyrics I recognized truly unique and inspired music originals unlike the crooning or dance music 'pop' musicians. Procol Harum is unquestionably the most sublime band in all of rock, for me.
This open air concert.. What can I say? It's magnificent, just magical. RIP Gary. So very sad. I'm 64 now and grew up in the sixties. Real music so it was. 🥰. Thank you!
An absolute gem of a performance which made me quite emotional to say the least. Tears came.Rog. Pacific sunset records.Just heard we've lost lyricist Keith Reid today.
The singers are singing Latin: Father, Son, Holy Ghost--repeated over and over again--not a Latin expert, but you can find this on the internet somewhere. I don't know what the final phrase of Latin is, however. And I totally agree with you. Gary Brooker is a class act and so well preserved. I saw Procol Harum live two years ago, and my brother and I were absolutely speachless at his abilities--we closed our eyes are were transported back in time. Procol Harum is not to be missed!

I have got to see a performance from them in my lifetime. I watch this every week and feel it in my heart every time. It is #1 on my list! Have to see them with an orchestra once in my life. Come to Louisiana ( New Orleans) at least. I have to see you perform this song.
mi unisco al coro degli amici qui presenti: abbiamo vissuto il periodo più bello della storia dell'Uomo, con una creatività esplosiva in tutte le Arti, e questa cosa del grandissimo Gary Brooker, purtroppo scomparso, ce lo ricorda.
So different to most other contemporaneous music. Weird thoughtful musing songs with unusual imagery, like Durer's images, and unusual, gripping music music. Maybe they felt most fans assum
This performance needs to be in a museum so it can be heard until the end of time.

True
I find the same myself ,its a sheer work of art and poetry in musical brilliance. @@kulturfabrik-tonstudio
And now another rock legend is gone. We still have the great performances. RIP Gary Brooker.
The finest version there will ever be of this esoteric song
A singular voice, he'll never be duplicated.✌
I'ts the emotion in his key playing.
In Italia, era la sigla di chiusura di un programma televisivo per ragazzi intitolato "avventura"..... Quanti ricordi.... Ho un nodo alla gola...... Grazie mille....
avevo 8/9 anni all'epoca,guardavo la trasmissione per le due sigle.Idem per il Groppo in gola
Guardavo avventura sino alla fine per sentire questo capolavoro..
Ricordo il programma. Bellissima canzone
Si... andava in onda il sabato... nel tardo pomeriggio... era un'appuntamento fisso... e chi se lo dimentica❤❤❤
Ho conosciuto il cameraman che faceva lo zoom della sigla di Avventura. Un visionario
It's 2024 and I still keep coming back! Fantastic rendition of this great song!
Masterpiece. Have loved this song as well since it was originally released...always dug deep into my heart & brought me to tears from it's beauty. Now, so many years later, my grandson is an Enlisted US Navy Sailor so it means that much more to me. 💙⚓🇱🇷😢
Me too. Incredible version of this haunting song.
Listening now. Much love!!!
Hearing Gary's version of this -the chorus singing Latin and the orchestra... Its like seeing Jesus walking on the water in the storm...Magnificent!
I'm drawn to this every week - like a drug . . . I'm Salty-Dog-dependent . . . never been so hooked on anything before . . .
Many moons and many Junes have passed since you made this comment, but yeah it's a great fucking song.
One of the classic masterpieces in time of perfection what a great performance 🙏🙏🙏
What a great masterpiece. RIP poet, artist, genius
I first heard this song when I was 15 years old, instantly liked it, and - now in my sixties - still think that this is one of the really great pieces of 20st century music. Thank you for this great performance. RIP Gary Brooker!
same here Roberta, I still think this is one of the greatest pieces ever.
D'accord! Il y en a tant au 20ième siècle!
grandioso brano che rimarrà in eterno...bellissima questa versione con coro e orchestra... Gary riposa in pace e grazie per la musica che ci hai regalato...
48 years later and still sounds great!
This version and Gary Brooker´s voice sound better than ever before.
Sono nato quando e' nata questa canzone ed ho la fortuna di avere un fratello molto piu' vecchio di me che mi ha fatto crescere con musica di questo genere...

I've known this song since I was 11 years old- and it still hits the spot

this performance needs to be always here for people to experience!!!!
This performance literally brought a few tears to my eyes. What a pity that the average dufus doesn't even know who Gary Brooker is.
This song always sends a chill up my spine, always brings a tear to my eye.
it gets better every time i hear it, a beautiful version sends shivers down my spine.
An undeniable masterpiece.
Marvellous! - Gary Brooker sounding as good as ever! A classic!
he's not lost a note.....amazing, Not many old rockers are still doing today what they did 50 years ago
Brooker's voice is full and hearty. A great singer.
Tears in my eyes. Greatness all the way!
One of the greatest songs ever. Thank you.
One of my all-time favorite songs since it came out way back when....I want this to be played on my funeral, one day.....
Questa è la perfezione musicale.. Ho i brividi! 🌷
WOW as hard as it is to believe, this surpasses the original recording back in '69, loved the album cover depicting a ciggie - Players Navy Cut x
That frickin' voice, it kills me every time, just out of this world...
An absolute gem of a performance which made me quite emotional to say the least. Tears came.Rog. Pacific sunset records.Just heard we've lost lyricist Keith Reid today.
Probably one of the greatest sea related songs ever written.
Da Brivido.❤❤
Che artista straordinario!!!
You and me, too Susan - I have to listen to every word of this every week, you're not alone . . .

Ha mantenuto la voce la magia di sempre❤
Spectacular! Gary Brooker´s voice remains strong and touching. Does anybody know what is sung by the choir on the intro. Breathtaking. Thanks.
I don't know what they sang but it appears they borrowed it from the movie (The Omen) lol
thankyou gary i discovered you 57 years ago and still listening my favourite song
The Danes are so respecful of Godliness in their midst.
Indimenticabile per noi bimbi degli anni anni 60: A come avventura

I can't believe how beautiful that was
Superb!
Effortless vocal range ... just incredible!
Wonderful!

Brano stupendo arrangiamento meraviglioso interpretato magistralmente!
Now, why wasn't this as big as 'Whiter Shade'? What a stunning rendition, I swear his voice got better as he got older.
I wish I were there...
