If you were around in 1967 and after...this song was everywhere...everywhere.....and became the anthem of the sixties...I was lucky to be there...
I was 8 but I will always remember that time. A much much better time
One of the most beautiful songs ever made.
This song was magical for me in the sixties and still is. Sadly this wonderful man passed away from cancer in February at the age of 76 , but his music will live on forever. His name was Gary Brooker.
well said Arthur, this was Gary's magnum opus, he spent his life honing this and he performed it with such passion and precision you'd have to be in a coma not to be moved emotionally.
Rest in peace to the legendary Gary Brooker. My dad always loved this song and it was his favorite, when he found out Gary died earlier this year he was pretty upset. 3 days ago, he passed on from this life as well. I hope they’re both resting wherever they may be and in eternal peace
Fuck cancer.... fuck it right to death. It's the worst bullshit we have to deal with, our own bodies killing us. And why? Because we're too fucking perfect to function properly genetically. One minor malfunction and my I'm left alone raising two children being 22 years old... I did that well but no man being called home from a war zone should ever be called home because his wife died with the best healthcare in the world at her aid and no one even fucking spotted a sign before.
I have watched this so many times. I’m so happy new people are discovering it.
I am a great admirer of the Shadows, but this would get my vote, this version, must be the GOAT of popular music.
I thank God this is captured forever.
Bless you Gary
He is smiling down from Heaven at your reaction.
A performance for the Ages !
RIP, Gary
I'm sure Gary would be very happy to know how he, the band, the amazing orchestra and this song are enjoyed by new fans everyday thanks to TH-cam, it moves me every time I watch it
... RIP Gary.....
agreed
I didnt realize he had passed. What a remarkable voice,it will live on forever.
One of the best live performances ever ,I must have watched this a hundred times 🌹🌹
Ja som sebec, som to videl 1000 krát. Čím viac to počuvam, tým viac tam najden hudobné nástroje a vokáli. Niečo nádherné.
Best live performance I’ve ever seen.
I'm 58 Paul. This is the best I've ever heard.
@@simondalzell9673 for sure
Same here...
Where would our souls be without music?
One of the most moving songs from the 60's. It takes my breath away each and every time I hear it!! There will never be another Gary Brooker. Rest in Peace.
Still brings tears to our eyes 💔💔
I still have my old 45 record of this fabulous song. But, I must say Gary's voice improved with age and the audio of him playing with the orchestra is perfect!!!
@@fanofhalloween 👍👍
R.I.P..Gary..loverly man and genius too..
Simply one of the most beautiful pieces ever.
This song has become even more emotional now for us that grew up with such phenomenal music in the sixties since gary's passing.
He is magic for a new generation! He is still here!
This orchestra and the singer are so moving, but your sweet expressions, face hands are priceless. Thank
you for bringing this to us.
I was born in 1949 and there is no doubt that I grew up to the best music of all time. I wouldn't have given 2 bob for this song back in '67, but now it is on my all-time favourites playlist. Thank you Gary Brooker, RIP you star.
Happy to read that your ears developed well over time.
But I get it...your generation was spoiled ROTTEN with the greatest tunes.
👍🙏
Welcome to my childhood. Nothing better.
Such a great performance live ... Garry will be missed..... RIP GB⛵🙏🌷🌎
Gary Brooker's voice aged like wine. Way better than he was in the early 70's. My favorite WSoP performance.
The famous guitarist/singer/songwriter Peter Frampton once stated that 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' was the most perfect song composed and recorded. As an author and musician, I have to agree. From the lyrics to the composition to the gradual build-up and dramatic conclusion, this ticks all boxes and a hundred more. To write such a beautiful song the author concerned was definitely emotionally and intellectually invested.. Long Live Procal Harem!!!
Gary Brooker and Keith Reid wrote this magical and timeless song. They will be playing this in decades to come. Truly a unique and amazing experience.
It was a beautiful experience for me
I feel tremendously blessed that I've been able to listen to this beautiful song for the entire 55 years since it first debuted.
Whiter shade of Pale first came out in 1967, another song from that year was Nights in White Satin and they sang it again in 1996, Moody Blues,
This song was the greatest of all time! R.I.P Gary Brooker!
the sixties , when singers just needed a mike to perform. Rip Mr.Brooker and thx for this gem.
Gary is that magical bottle of wine that got better with age. He was good in 1968. and went to great with this one. The orchestra was great as well. Oh and don't worry about you emotions. Many of us have our eyes sweating when listening to this.
A masterpiece, I don't have another word to say. Thank you for this, Gary.
Yes, it does bring tears to the eyes. Sadly, with Gary passing, that voice passes with him. Try to see the 60s video of this. One of the great moments of that era when this song was released.
Brooker, Bach, Reid and Fisher...Perfection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for acknowledging Matthew Fisher. Even after the lawsuit giving him songwriting credits, he is often overlooked.
Let it out...Rock n Roll is medicine
When this tune first came out, it stunned everyone beyond belief - it was 1967, right at the beginning of hard rock, and this type of pop/rock what totally unknown. 55 years later, I remember exactly who this band was when hearing this great song.
My first slow dance summer 1967 thank you for this Beautiful memory!❤✌
Your soul is so bright and as beautiful as you! Blinding!! O my!❤
This song was a Hodge podge of lyrics loosely tied together by the kind of lifestyle a band in the 60s experienced rolling through sex, drugs, and rock n roll - and became an unofficial anthem to life in the mid to late 60s. It was freewheeling and melancholy at the same time. Art and music were everywhere, and because of the Vietnam War - a feeling of inevitable doom when the party was over permeated through the just-of-age young people of the era. The lyrics and music bring back that kaleidoscopic sense of time and place making it a worthy anthem of a past that is still vibrant in the minds of those of us who lived through it. This performance by Gary Brooker was close to the last time he performed this song and with the biggest live orchestral performance yet by a man who knew his time on this planet was limited. As you can see and hear - he put his heart and soul into this performance. It is almost impossible to imagine that A Whiter Shade of Pale will NEVER be sung or performed like this ever again. And I can empathize with your heartfelt response. To those who loved the party, I wish everyone loved the trip, their own adventure, their own journey to face oblivion with the same intensity of life the musicians of that time period have done.
So beautifully explained and expressed
Well said!!
The song is about someone about to learn some unpleasant reality. So, yeah it would have resonated. About a life that had been good and easy, about too get tough.
Since the first time I heard this song as a kid I fell in love with it. Sadly Gary Brooker lost his battle with cancer not long ago. RIP brother you will always be remembered.
I think the most beautiful, haunting rendition of this song.... ever.... Not only was Gary Brooker a uniquely talented musician/singer, everyone who knew him had nothing but praise for him personally. He was truly a great man..... We are all the better for his creative gifts.
RIP Gary Booker we miss you already.
Your tears gave me tears. So nice to see young people appreciate my generations music. ✌️
I was a teen when this song came out. It always struck me as sad but, listening to the lyrics I don't know why. This particular video is a great reminder of how much great music was made in the 60's and 70's. Keep up the good work.
Just remember he was 61 in this performance.
I was ten years old in 1967 when this fantastic song first was released. So I guess I must have had a quite advanced taste for music at so young age. Because this is not just any song, it´s a masterpiece. And I loved it from the first time I heard it. My big brother bought the vinyl single and sometimes if I were lucky I was allowed to listen to it in his room. But this version is not just a fantastic performance, it´s pure magic. The violins, the quire and I really think Gary Brooker sings even better here. Despite of the fact that it had been 39 years since it was new. It ought to be a human right for every person to be allowed to hear this marvellous song. Says a semi-old man from the north of Sweden.
I too was 10 years old when this song came out. To this day, it’s still in my top two songs. It is indeed a magical masterpiece. ❤️❤️❤️
And I was also 10 when this song came out! And with Kathleen, this is one of my absolute favorite songs of all time. I love Mr. Brooker's voice. Another great song he sings is Limelight, by Alan Parsons Project. Such emotion in his singing.
You and I are the same age. Still wonderful all these years later.
I was also 10 when this song came out and I have loved it ever since.
Gary Brooker didn't just sing it, he wrote the original music. :-)
One beautiful piece of music enjoyed by such a beautiful young lady.
RIP Gary And thank you 🙏
Sadly Gary Brooker the singer here and lead singer of Procol Harum died very recently! This band and especially this song played a big part in my life when i was young in the 1970s
It's okay to cry. I cried too and I have heard this many times over the last fifty years.
You should compare his voice to his original studio recording of this song in 1967. There was no orchestra just the band Procol Harum. You can tell how beautifully his voice has maintained all those 40 years later. Maybe even better. This version is so beautiful. You described it perfect...a masterpiece. I cry every time I see a reactor do this song. RIP Gary. Thank you for reacting to this.
This was released in 1967 and was magical when it came out.
I am so glad you enjoyed the music and I appreciate your very human reaction so thank you.
This era of music was when artists were actual artists that had talent.
No auto tune or digital enhancements.
I saw them in 1970 or 71 and it was an amazing show.
A classic performance of a classic song by the finest band ever in my opinion well supported by a wonderful orchestra and choir. It doesn't get better than this and I'm so glad you appreciated it
You have great taste. Gary Brooker was a wonderful musician, who understood music theory but was never a slave to it. Oh, and a nice bloke, too.
This is one of those iconic forever songs. ❤️
A timeless classic that brings back so many wonderful memories of my youth!
I've always loved this song. I'm glad you loved it too.
One of the most beautiful songs of all time
Since you loved this, time to find the 50 year old rendition of this when PH played with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra in 1972.
I grew up in the 60s surrounded by so much amazing music through 3 decades and this is undoubtedly one of my favourites.
Young lady your reaction happened millions of times over the years ! Great to see It happen again !
Love your reaction mam.
Thank you for feeling what I felt the first time I heard it .
Beautiful reaction, thank you ❣️🤩🌹
I love this song and your reaction was so beautiful! You touched me. Here's to your next one. 🙏💜😊
I feel like people are starved for truth and beauty - a glimpse into what's possible, calling into question what is. Peace to you
I am so glad that they put this wonderful concert together on video . It is all around so well done and should be viewed many times in the future of mankind . If they want to send a music video out to the far reaches of space , this should be the one.
Procol Harum released this song in spring 1967. I was 21 and leaving England for France, boarding a ferry in Dover for the cross channel trip to Calais. Shortly after we left Dover, I was standing at the stern of the boat watching the white cliffs fade in the distance against the blue of the channel waters. Music was playing on the ship's loudspeaker system. Suddenly, the organ refrain of A Whiter Shade of Pale began. For four joyous minutes I was transported to a timeless nirvana - the music, the sea, the fresh air, the sun. I have a body memory of that experience. Whenever I hear the organ, I am back on that ferry. I close my eyes and I smile.
What a great memory to have. You described it so eloquently, that I felt like I was experiencing it myself.
@@leannmiller7153 Thank you!
This song is so special. I sure you will appreciate it. Thank you. You aren't alone with the tears.
Hello. First, you are beautiful. Second, this song always gets me in the feels, too. Music is meant to move us. I have seen this performance at least two dozen times with various reactors having a similar experience.
Thank you 😊
My dear, dear sweet woman. To ba able to experience Whiter Shade through your ears and eyes is a magical thing.This took me back perhaps 50 years to the first time I listened to this album on a good stereo with headphones. From beginning to end it pierced my brain. I believe that is what happened to you during this video. Thanks to people like you, younger audiences are finally hearing these classics and, so I believe, they are understanding the powerful lyrics in the same way their parents and perhaps grandparents did. Bless you.
superb reaction
From my generation everyone knows this song & most people love it. I've got to say this is the best performance I've ever heard performed.
That is the idea of music. It is to try and make us feel something. This song made you, and many other people, very emotional. That is a beautiful gift to be able to open yourself up and just show yoyr emotion in the moment. A beautiful reaction to an amazing song. R.I.P. Gary.
You go girl!! Cry it out! This performance gets me every time 😊
What a perfect and beautiful reaction. Been one of my favorite songs for many decades.
Saw Procol Harem in Berkeley in 1974…still one of my favorite shows. Gary was really funny too
Beautiful choice babydoll! Glad for the technology to share this for those of us who couldn’t be there! Thank you! Classic rendition!
This song was released orginally in 1967 with Gary Brooker and his band. But, this version with the orcestra truns it into a masterpiece.
Another level of "Rock&Roll"! Those Brits got Soul! Young lady, you know your music.
This song and this version is reason number one why music can be beyond transcendant and touch the very essense of our souls. This song is truly from another musical dimension. Superb. Magical. Transcendant.
This song brings on so many emotions, I was 12 years old when this song came out and knew then I just heard greatness.
Feel the emotion. Feel it touch your soul. Be moved. The power of music. Pure magic.
I listened to this song when it was first released and this version truly brings tears to one’s eyes. Everything came together perfectly and Gary’s emotional singing knocks it out of the park.
It was the late 70s when I first heard this song on the radio. It was late at night, cruising home from a night out. Alone in my '71 New Yorker doing about 20 over the speed limit. There was a light amount of ground fog. The kind that covers the ditches but the road is above it, like driving across the top of a cloud. One of those moments in my life that music took over.
Thank you for enjoying this masterpiece all the way through with us. You are so genuine.
RIP Gary. I am glad I am in that generation that followed your magic. Be well wherever you are.
Done when we were fighting the Viet Nam war. We saw violent things But there was a Whiter shade of pale. A brighter shade that death didn't show.
This was the grand march for my graduation. Always be special for me.
Man...
A God given talent that lasted right to the very end. ❤🙌🙏 RIP Sir.
sweet reaction, gary, would hve been pleased, he write vis bck in v 60s,
My neighbor was a friend of his asked him what the song was all about. The answer he got really stunned him: I have no idea! I wrote it while I ate cereal. Such a masterpeace.
He was being a wee bit disingenuous. There’s a bunch of Canterbury Tales references bookending it, for example. But yeah, it’s a bit like asking what an abstract painting is “about”.
Love your reaction...1 of the best songs ever💜💜💜💜
I used to slow dance to this song, in 7th and 8th grade Catholic School from the fall of 66 - 68. Everytime I hear this song the tears begin to fall. It reminds me of my late wife now.
I remember when this song came out. It moved me then as it does now. It will take you to church.
When the Beatles first heard this in a London night club, they all thought it must have been Stevie Winwood.
Incredibly sweet reaction. I could not take my eyes off her beautiful face 🥰😘❤️ Her enjoyment made mine that match better.
I'm 71 well be 71 in January and I remember him when his hair was dark like mine now we're both wide-headed he's gone now God love him the 70 60s and 70 and 80s music were awesome God we had some good music some good music and I just love him so much rest in peace
If I was trying to make contact with aliens, this video would go on the the ship for sure.
The song does touch your heart... takes me back to a nicer and kinder time... so glad you enjoyed a piece from my time... it's ok to cry... makes me cry too... sometimes...
I remember this song in my youth and man did we have great music in the 60s and 70s. The groups had to play instruments ,and write songs to be notice in those days or you weren’t noticed.
In 2006 this old Aussie was 48 & I would have loved to be in the crowd at this concert. I've been singing along with Whiter shade of pale since the late 60's... Just love it.
Only one of a hundred exquisite songs by dear Gary Brooker, MBE, RIP. 😢😢
Grew up with this group!! Back then. many great songs. Memories are a great thing too!! Glad u enjoyed!!
My darling, this is one of the most beautiful video's I have ever seen and heard. The official video will soon be seen by over 100M viewers. Most of us reacted the way you did when we first saw this.
I really believe that you enjoyed this as much as they were trying to express it!
