    This is one of the greatest songs of the 60´s. Never gets old. I really like your channel Princess, you´re a genuine music lover.

    I miss the poem at the end of the studio version. I get chills when i hear him say "breathe deep, the gathering gloom. Watch lights fade from every room".

    Back in the day we had these things called slow sets. This was when the DJ in clubs played a selection of slow songs, and we got to dance (smooch!) up close and personal with the girls we fancied (and vice versa when it was "ladies choice"). Whiter Shade of Pale was a popular slow set song (along with songs like Jesamine, Je T'aime and Unchained Melody) which is one of the reasons so many oldsters like myself have such positive and strong associations with it. And of course it was a great song that resonated perfectly with the psychedelic, surrealistic zeitgeist of the time.

    This was a major hit song in 1967 by Pro-coal Hair-um. You have obviously reacted to a later version, but lead singer Gary Brooker still has a great voice all these years later.

    You also need to listen to Conquistador from the same concert. Spectacular. RIP Gary Brooker.

    Great reaction, thank you. I seen them live by accident while walking around Hollywood Ca.one Saturday night in the 70's.. I saw their name on the marquee of a small theater, I paid if I remember $4 or so to get in. I was maybe 50 feet way from the stage. Very small place only 200+ people very intimate setting they were fantastic!

    Step 1 - Orchestra prelude
    Step 2 - Gary Brooker and orchestra
    Step 3 - Gary Brooker + orchestra + band (Procol Harum) + choir
    “A WHITER SHADE OF PALE” was released by Procol Harum in 1967 and it was their first single
    ❤ RIP Gary Brooker 1945 - 2022
    *PROCOL HARUM is a latin expression that means "beyond these things”, but the legend tells that was a Burmese Blue cat, that belonged to a friend of the band and that he lived until 1972. The cat’s name was actually Procul Harun, but the cat’s name was misspelled.

    That performance was near 40 yrs after the song was released. And I do remember this one well. For it received a good bit of play time on the radio back then; mid 60's to early 70's.

    Procol Harum is my favourite Progressive Rock band... my favourite song is called "Shine on Brightly", and is best appreciated hearing the recorded version.

    This song has never lost its haunting quality. It was once the soundtrack of a dream I had where I was in a runaway automobile that wound up in a swimming pool. Water theme I guess.

    63 and have loved this song since forever. Please do some more collaborations with your Brother and the Cartier Family. Those videos are cool. Maybe do this one. (with help or by yourself) The Fat Electrician: "That Time America Blew Up a Whale with 1000 lbs of TNT". Yes it's real. Channel & video. (it's also hilarious)

    This was eloquent and beautifully presented. If you'd care to try a "compare and contrast," you might enjoy the rendition by Joe Cocker.

      Well, it is a spectacular setting and performance, with all those modern requisites of colour, high quality audio/ visual production etc that people go for today.
      However, I love to go back to some of the grainy old original b&w footage from the 60s, the one where they're dressed in hooded robes like ghostly monks - all adding to the spooky, sepulchral vibes - or in colour, wandering about gothic ruins in flower power gear (IIRC).
      Maybe because it was a time full of such hope and optimism, the music was extraordinary and ever changing, and the world lay open before us with its seemingly limitless possibilities...

    I choose Denmark 06. He's an old man his voice is still good but no where near where it was in 67 when they came out of no where with this and whet to #1 for weeks. Some ppl call it the best piece of total nonsense R&R ever done. But then what do u want went they ripoff Bach. Yet it is true that anything anyone does organ organ after him was just copying what he had done.
    Now go back find one form 67 and see why these guys were what the were.

    Hey, love you and love your channel.
    I could be wrong and I often am, but I don't think the red hair works for you. I am married and I have come to learn Uber the course of many years that women do like to experiment with things and I think that's excellent but by doing so I think the idea is you get to learn what works VS what doesn't work. Anyway, I'm not a hater so they don't misunderstand because I'm more of a lover in terms of viewing things that I appreciate not romantic definitions.
