  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ส.ค. 2022
  • In grateful memory to Gary Brooker (1945 - 2022)
    Gary Brooker and the Munich Chamber Opera Orchestra
    conducted by Eberhard Schoener at the Circus Krone building in Munich.
    Recorded from a six hours live transmission on German TV on
    12 Nov. 1980
    Line up:
    Gary Brooker - voc, piano
    Paul Vincent - guitar
    John Gibblin - bass
    Hermann Weindorf - organ
    B.J. Wilson - drums
    Morris Pert - perc
    A WHITHER SHADE OF PALE originally was released as Procol Harum's first single in 1967.
    Eberhard Schoener (who had toured with Procol Harum, his Munich Chamber Opera Orchestra and the Toelzer Boys Choir in Germany, Austria and Switzerland 1972) invited Gary for his first CLASSICAL ROCK NIGHT in Munich. The mammooth concert was transmitted on TV in 16 countries, full length, six hours. Other guests were Mike Batt, Esther Ofarim, Andy Mackay, Mel Collins, Jon Anderson, Darryl Way.
    Gary's musical portions of this concert were not performed in one block. When he reappeared on stage late in the evening to sing AWSOP, he suddenly wore a suit.
    This caused some hilarity in the audience.
    There has never been a retransmission of this event and private VHS recorders at that time were rare! So this may be the only surviving tape
    of that very night !!
    (thank you Fritz for providing this ultra rare material)

    When this beautiful song was first released in '67 it stayed no 1 for 6 weeks in the summer of 67. Credit goes to Brooker,Reid and Fisher. BJ wasn't on the original buthe was a dream drummer, a joy to hear and watch. RIP Gary nd BJ .

    I worked night crew at a local supermarket in 1967. The radio played about 8 songs repeated all night. "A Whiter Shade of Pale" was one of them. I loved it in 1967 and love it to this day. A timeless classic. Such an underrated group that far excels many of the performers in the R&R Hall of Fame.

    He has performed that song thousands of times and his voice has never changed one bit right up to the time he passed. He also sang it exactly the same as the first recording. A fantastic man and his piano. RIP Gary Brooker. You are not forgotten! 💜❤️👏🏼

      the latter versions were better
      ESPECIALLY the musical festival’s in Denmark
      That was the ultimate performance
      in his latter years…
      What a performer together with his piano🥂❗️

      And RIP BJ. A phenomenally talented drummer who never had the attention he deserved. John Bonham only became Led Zeppelin's drummer because BJ Wilson turned it down to stay with Procol Harum. Died much too young.

      1 hr ago. Oh for sure! In fact I just sent an email to the Rock and Roll Hall of fame to express that very thing and told them to please highly reconsider and nominate them! I feel they should have been in years ago! Sadly, now with Gary Brookers passing, none of the original group is left, but fans would be ecstatic if they finally received that honor! So fingers crossed! ♥️
