- 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) - เพลง
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.
Bob Reid - vc tem muitas lembranças de um tempo maravilhoso. Eu também!
Saudações da Amazônia Brasil!
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! 💜❤️👏🏼
Such an mature old soul voice... R I P Gary!
Agreed. it got even richer and fuller. This link version from Denmark kills me it's my favorite other than the original studio. th-cam.com/video/St6jyEFe5WM/w-d-xo.html
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🥂❗️
👊🔥
🪖
Here because of B.J. Wilson 🥁👏
What a beautiful and strong voice! The same voice from the begin until the end of his life...
R.i.P. Gary...
Such a great artist and musician, his voice does not change with age - thank you Gary Brooker and Procol Harum for the lovely brilliant music. RIP Gary.
Gary Playing the piano is amazing
I love this Song from 67,thank you Gary...for ever..
The greatest song of all times.Brings tears to my eyes
Proof of the value of a solid background in "classical" (Baroque here) music.
Definitely the greatest pop song ever. Pop music was so good back in the day
@@johne6081ciao John! 🙋♀️😍😘💘🌅
Beautiful rendition of this musical masterpiece.
RIP Gary. He and his music will never be forgotten
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.
So true !
Timeless
@@hughwalker5628ciao Hugh! 🙋♀️😍😘💘🌅
Beautiful. I Love Procol Harum.
A classic song that is timeless. It's always great to hear A Whiter Shade Of Pale. May B.J Wilson and Gary Brooker rest in peace. Cheers! ✌️
It's my wife's favourite song,We ordered it for our wedding ceremony. Yes it's a timeless classic song.
I saw them three times live in Germany. Nice reminisence
@@marcuskeulertz5852 I saw Procol Harum 4 times live with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. Cheers! ✌️
@@marcuskeulertz5852 I ordered it for my elder son's wedding reception, but my middle nephew cut in to dance with my wife.
And may Keith Reid rest in peace as well.
Yeah ,Gary Booker is one of those voices that are unmistakable and hopefully he will be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame so we always have recordings of his hits 😊❤😂😊❤😊❤😊
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! ♥️
Stupenda bellissima canzone dei grandissimi procol harum hanno fatto conoscere al mondo intero questa splendida canzone nel 1967 avevo 17 e io e i miei amici e amiche la sentivamo sempre la bellissima splendida voce del leader gary brooker il suo potente intenso e solenne dell organo tutto è stupendo eccezionale
Si' questo capolavoro rimarrà bella storia e noi abbiamo avuto il privilegio di "esserci"

Sometimes perfection comes along and life unwittingly gets in the way of
it's acceptance . This song and it's performance are magnificent.
I am an old man now, but this song won't ever age.
Rest in peace Gary.

Das waren noch Zeiten. Leider habe ich Gary damals verpasst, duch den eisernen Vorhang. Habe ihn mir aber im Rockpalast angesehen.
❤️🎶🎼🎵🤗
H: you just yourself another subscriber! Woohoo!
Welcome Cissy !!!!

Hello Hermann!
Hello Antonio, great to see you here !
Long Live Gary ... this amazing song..
by the way i also have a cover of the song a white shade of a pale acoustic version on my playlist..
maybe you will like it..
Skipped the light Fandango.......
That drummer is causing havoc.
The organ player has listened to Matthew Fisher, but plays a little different.
Don't forget he tried to ripoff Fisher !
best live performances were Chris Copping not Fisher
❤❤
