I have no words…as tears flow down my 70 year old face …
RIP Gary….
Tears indeed!
same age same feeling!
Who agree with me
that this show was eternal,
the way Gary Brooker and his musicians led us back to our old times and rememberance ?!
We are so fortunate to be able to listen to this fabulous performance and interpretation of a classic song.
yes, right there in the north sea too.

Gary really gave his all to each song, he wanted this as his legacy and man did they achieve that. A great tribute for themselves and for all music.
One of the most beautiful compositions I’ve ever heard in my life.
Same here.
Masterpiece !!!!
Some voices lose their richness and flexibility, some lose their range from the top, some lose it from the bottom, but Gary Brooker's voice in this concert is, if anything, richer and more powerful throughout the range than it was fifty years earlier, as is his command of the piano. There are legends, but this man is a Titan!
now he's gone. he left the world so much and he gave so much
Well said mate
@@PhukIT1865 Understatement, but spot on. No words can express.
He had an incredible voice that never changed in all of those years. ‘Whiter Shade of Pale’ was one of my favorite songs when I was in Jr. High many many years ago. RIP
Every time I watch this video, I think that his voice has not changed. Thank you and God Bless.@@junbug1029
An already emotionally beautiful song takes on an ever deeper heartbreaking beauty after hearing of the passing of Gary Brooker. Rest in Peace, Sir. The tears are flowing deeply...
Where is he now? No mortal place at all.
😢
@@jbr84tx brilliant.
But "the tears were years of joy"
@@johnwyke-smith7402 now not so joyful with his passing
Their will never be another Gary Brooker, an outstanding musician and sadly gone forever but his music lives on!!
It blows my mind that music, like literature, can live forever.
Gary, one nice ,and lovingly passionate chap!!
RIP
Capolavoro assoluto...R.I.P. Gary
So true!
I travelled to London some years ago to visit their 50th Anniversary Konzert at Southbank.
Garry missed one step as he left the stage for the break.
The break took one hour.
He played around one hour with a wound dressing around his head, and an injured hand.
That's Rock & Roll!
I'm so glad that I heard him at least once in my life.
R.I.P.
I listen to David Draimond's cover of the Sound of Silence ~ and it gave me great hope for the future.
You'll see (or hear).
Gary has made his final port of call: A sand so white and seas so blue, no mortal place at all. RIP Gary and thank you for all of the music. Godspeed.
@Buddy Austin Thank you; his passing hit me hard. I have loved listening to his voice since "Whiter Shade of Pale" came out. "A Salty Dog" is an incredible composition, and the string arrangement is sublime.
Amen.
your comment brought me to tears, so beautiful.
@@dougpeters1625 As does Gary's voice and music. Peace to you.
Amen, Gary.
You've enriched our lives
Godspeed.
Rip gary brooker. What a brilliant often underated artist. Incredible vocal even in his later years. 😢
Absolutely lovely. He has an amazing voice even now. WOW Gary Brooker.
Just finished NAVY boot camp in SAN DIEGO, CA. and seen this proformance 1971, still sounds great
Rest In Peace. Loved listening to you.
There are no words to describe how amazing this is
Sad News, Gary passed away. An amazing musician and vocalist. Listen to this live version of "Salty Dog". No one can touch it. I think his voice got stronger with age. Here,, he gives it everything he's got. Amazing. God speed Gary.
On the level of an avatar Gary 'invented' this style of music influencing everyone including Genesis and all of Prog.. Hard not to cry as I listen to this master.. but not tears of sadness.. simply perfect gratitude and joy.. Spot on Bill
What fantastic "PIPES" Gary Brooker had. The depth of his voice will last forever. Thank you for the music Bro.
An amazing voice that aged like fine wine. The older he became, the better his voice got. What an unforgettable concert!
The chorus was magnificent. It added the dramatic that is needed for this song And of course, there's Gary Brooker, what a voice, what a man.
my wonderful youth has just died . RIP Gary ..... see you 🎹✌️🎤
Rest in Peace Gary Brooker. Thank you for the gift of your music ❤
Yes!! 💯💜
Ci incontreremo su quella cala sabbiosa,parola di lupo grigio.f.to Akela
Close your eyes and you’re on this ship ! What a voice ! Such a loss. I loved this song since I left the Army in late sixties. Best of times. Fair winds and following seas Gary
While "A Whiter Shade of Pale" is for the mainstream "A Salty Dog" is for the gourmet...
Yeah, me too.
Always loved it
The dynamics are unmatched
I love "A Salty Dog", what a wonderful version, never sounded better. Great musician, RIP
We must have listened and watched this 1000s of times, each time our eyes water and hearts are lifted. A truly cerebal and uplifting experience. 😌
I used to listen to Procol Harum while in college (1972-1976). A Salty Dog is an incredible piece of music. And seeing it performed here with choir and orchestra is a good as it gets. Rest In Peace, Gary Brooker.
Brings tears to your eyes. How can he maintain that voice? What a gift to music
I just found this epic concert. Gives me goosebumps!
ur so right....
@@mitchgilbert8369 Me too!
Man, you're right. Brought tears to my eyes immediately.
Probably avoided smoking, drinking, using drugs, and hard living!?
Astonishing, simply one of the best music clips I have ever seen or heard. Hauntingly beautiful. RIP Gary.
In 1969 we shared a stage with them at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago. The debut of this song happened there. It was breathtaking. It still is. Bravo
Thanks for sharing that memory. Pretty cool.
Epic performance. One of my favorite songs of all time. This song soars.
God ... his voice is still so strong and brilliant!
very very good
He still has his fastball
maybe no nicotine or other drugs?
Yes man! Is it! Greatings from Italy :)
Man ! This Cat Still Goin Strong.
Adding the choir makes a feature of the string part .Genius.
How is it possible his voice is even better 35 years later? The slightly rougher, grizzled quality just adds a lot to this song. I bought this album when it came out. This was my favorite track.
I love this song too. Gary’s voice is amazing. It has improved over the years. He has improved with age. ❤️🌹❤️
This is a sterling performance! Chorus and orchestra are awesone!
A Salty Dog.....Gary's Voice is one of the Best in Rock History.......what a Feeling......what a Power.......this is the best Version I've ever heard :)
Then you’d appreciate this. I sat mere feet from him at B.B. King’s and his voice resonated through me and all over the venue. Impressive does not begin to describe the experience.
@@CWA61
an outstanding vocal delivery here by Mr. Brooker. That is my opinion, and I would love to hear what a vocal expert would think. To me it's world-class.
Peter Kroll I second that!
At 67, I regret that I never saw Gary and the band in concert. This goes beyond Edmonton. 💙
Unici...!!!!
Tutte le volte che la sento...
Mi strappa il cuore
R.I.P, Gary. Your beautiful work will last in the world through the endless time...Your witness my own hand..
I just heard Gary left us a few days ago. May this talented, soulful man rest in peace. His singing with Procol Harum was as good as it gets in my opinion. Perfect expression, always with a sort of sadness, which to me was beautiful.
Una versione fantastica. Gary Brooker aveva una voce più bella di quando era giovane. Ci mancherà
Sometimes words are not enough. This is one of the greatest concerts ever. Gary and the rest of the guys were brilliant. The choir and orchestra brilliant. Wish I could have been there.
Amen. I am blessed to have discovered this gem of a concert.I have been a Procol Harum listener and this is a concert I wish I could have experienced live.
I TOTALLY AGREE! MY FAVORITE ROCK BAND OF ALL TIME!
It is so connected. Time connected this. All the musicians know how to make this fly. They are grown up with Procol Harum.

And he is so 'down to earth'. Quite some years ago (2002), a morning after a performance Gary Brooker stepped down in his morning dress and socks, and played 'A WhiterSshade of Pale' for breakfast and the other guests, at the tiny harmonium placed in the small 'Rock Hotel' Brundby at Samsø , Denmark. One of the other guests surprised guests were Bill Whyman. This is just a small, cozy little hotel . Not a 5-star hotel, bath and toilets at the hallway. They make small intimateconcerts, not earning big money. Very often guests and 'stars' meet in the corridors.
RIP Gary. Thank you for a lifetime of your great music. Will miss you lots. 💐 💔 😢
Sad to hear today that the legend Gary Brooker has passed away he was such a talent and we will never hear the likes of him again. RIP and thank you for the music you’ve left behind.
5:05
His voice and spirit will be always with us. Thank you Gary for all your great work and the legacy you left here, We will not forget you. Enjoy the other side
I don't why this song always gets me choked up. So beautiful. Brooker's voice has aged like wine....richer now than ever.
4:12.
@@spikespa5208 chills. Every single time.
It's 48 years ago, I heard this song, and still I get goosebumps to hear that song again!!! Procol Harum set feelings free in us young people and expressed in an unknown manner, what we felt, what we thought, what we wanted to live, a new live getting ahead from the ruins. This song goes so deep!!! Thank you all this people in the 60's and 70's!!
How can they not be in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame? 😫😫😫 RIP Gary, you're Hall Of Fame to the world. 🌎 🤟🤟💜💜
They're in everyone's Hall Of Fame. That's what truly matters. Gary Brooker is a legendary voice who shall never be forgotten.
most Americans regard the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame as a farce, joke. as a friend of mine who is in it said “the only reason anybody wants to get in it is because when they announce you as a rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Famer to a promoter your fee ($)goes up.”
Think of all the shitty acts who can’t sing write play or perform at the highest level and realize that that’s your competition. These guys write one of the greatest songs ever plus albums filled with excellent music and they are passed over for the likes of a band like Kiss or Metal crap and ‘softie pop’.. There is no legitimacy to the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame. Make your own up in your own mind and listen to it over and over and over again. That’s what true fans do. The rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame will go out of business at some point.
How the fuck could that be, that shows you what the r&r hall of fame is really worth or should i say worthless
@@potterwalker4823 It can't come soon enough
Great artists are leaving, but their music will always go on. RIP Gary.
Such a sad loss to lose such incredible unique artistic talent. A privilege to watch and listen to this performance.
Always my favorite Procol Harum song !
Yes! His soul is still touching many!
My brother (59) and I (64) listened to it and couldn't stop tears from flowing.
Me and my brother ,61 -56 . The same
What a voice amazing. I love this guy he's everything that represents talent.
RIP Mr Brooker. You will be missed sir.
What a tremendous joy it must have been for Procul Harum to perform their beautiful, symphonical mus ic with this orchestra and choir. It gives me goosebumps all over at least. “We sailed for parts unknown to men, where ships come home to die” is definitely the most beautiful line in the lyrics of popmusic. The whole ship’s crew perished but reached “no mortal place at all”, after seven seasick days they made their port of call together and cried tears of joy.
if a song lasts 50 years... it means it's something special.
You're special, Gary. A Titan
this is progressive rock
amazing emotion)voice
sad but so beautiful
The best harmonic arrangement with a huge voice and a melt of chorus and instruments so emotional, amazing. Nadia Calefato
For me, undoubtably the diamond in Procol Harum's songbook, especially with this great arrangement. Thanks for posting !
Just Amazing. We were the luckiest generation
i’m 17 wish i was born back when music was like this. you are truly very lucky :)
Indeed, we were.
So emotional! One of the best performances Ive witnessed!
Thankyou!
Its great!
Strangely enough, for three weeks I have intensively discovered Procol Harum music richness, and wondered how I could not have heard it before, apart from Whiter Shade of Pale. This concert in a whole is brilliant, with epic versions of their great songs. The second verse of An Old English Dream :
"Once we had a country
And thought it so fair
If you look through the mirror
You can still find it there
But now our great country
Is broken and torn
And all of its promise
And liberties worn"
echoes so deeply today in our post Covid countries, with liberties worn.
Now the final whiter shade of pale came on your face, RIP with our deepest respect, Mr Brooker.
God Bless you Procol Harum and thankyou to the people of Denmark for their usual and wonderful embrace of this group,one of Britains finest....The choir is simply incredible...
This is simply awe inspiring.. Gary Brooker passed away on 2/19/22. Rest In Peace Gary. Thanks to the Creator for blessing us with your voice.
he actually passed on the 19th, it was just made public on the 22nd, pure Godgiven talent; RIP Sir.......
@@j.c.a2872 will edit, thanks.
How did Gary Brooker touched upon greatness I have no idea. But he did and we should all be eternally grateful to him. For now, I will simply enjoy his music as I did for the past 50 years.
Gary,s voice blends so well with the orchestra. Lovely!
In my lifetime I have never experienced a more brilliant musician. No words.
A spellbinding unique performance. R.I.P. Mr. Brooker.
This is, by far, my favorite arrangement of this song. Amazing how strong Gary's voice is! And the Danish National Concert Orchestra was just spectacular.
Goodbye Commander. Thank you for the music, it never dies.
The Edmonton Symphony version was fabulous but this one had me in tears. Can't find the right words to say how great this is.
Exactly how I feel now having seen it for the first time. Always have loved this song and he sings just as well as he always did.
Brought me to tears.
This live version of A Salty Dog is incredibly stunning! I'm so sorry about the death of Gary Brooker, but ' our tears are tears of joy for the great emotions he has given us over the years! RIP
THE CROWD IS STUNNED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have invaded and pervaded my youth with your voice and your songs, and today my youth is gone with you. Rest in peace, Great Gary. Your absence is disruptive ....
With immense gratitude and perennial affection. Gianfranco
this is so beautiful I can hardly bear it.
Only a handful of songs do that, but this one tops the list. You nailed it.
God bless him. RIP. A gut wrenching song of soul.
What a sensational concert, and how good to see an appreciative audience, and no morons with mobile phones in the air!!
Thats because the Iphone was introduced in 2007 :) Mobilephones that days were Nokia's and old samsungs..
Oh no, such a sad day.. I had the opportunity to see you live in March 2020, but Covid canceled all.. And then.. Can't stop tears looking this. Rip Gary
This is my favorite. From Russia with love, guys.
RIP We will miss you here. God bless and condolences to Gary's family. I am grateful we have his music left with us.
An absolute masterpiece; wonderfully played. THIS is how rock and classical should blend.
Only just heard he has passed, not a word in the media. RIP Sir.
RIP ✌ 🙏 GARY BROOKER 2- 26 -22 🌹
YOU ARE GLORIOUS !
I pay my respect to this POP GIANT, the one who repeatedly gave me the goosebumps with his unbelievable and beautiful compositions. Rest in peace Gary Brooker. ✝️
Missing him tonight - his music lives on. This song captures a spirit -like many of his masterpieces. Glad I was here to experience it.
RIP Gary Brooker. Thanks for all the great music. 🎶☮️✌️😍
Gary....non sarai mai morto nei cuori di chi ha potuto godere della tua musica! Sei eterno come l'Hammond in A whiter shade of Pale!
Simply the best version for this absolute masterpiece of a song. PH is one of the most underrated progressive rock bands of all time. The choir made it more brilliant than it already was!
and symphony orchestra made this even bigger! i love Proge!
Oh I rank them way above the Beagles I mean Beatle's. 😂🙄🌞🌴🐊Hello from Orlando, Florida
Often a great rock song is made even better when its chords are fully fleshed out by an orchestar. Procol's works are perfectly suited for this, see also Whiter Shade of Pale from this same concert. Also The Who's Tommy done together with the London Symphony Orchastra and some guest voalists. Spotty at points, but breathtaking most of the time... Rod Steward did the Pinball Wizard...
R.i.P Gary....Thanks to what you brought to the world with your beautiful somgs.
THE BEST OF THE BEST ! I WAS A YOUNG MAN, WHEN THIS CAME ALONG !now at 70 ,still thinks its tops !.
Absolutely gigantic..This is music folks. Can't cover it up with any bs...The dude is almost 70 and he still has it. You hear that voice and if you are a Boomer, you know exactly who it is. As good today as he was at the Filmore East back in the day.
Thank you!
I saw then at The Electric Factory in Philadelphia back in the day.
Well Said Sir!
thank you sir
I think he has grown even better , I watched to whole concert .. Youngsters watch and learn this how a live performance is done...
Sadly some of our favourites of yesteryear lose their singing ability with age. Gary Brooker just seems to get better. What a stunning performance by him and everyone on stage. Fantastic!!
I just listened to this after hearing a live 1971 version. The vocals were almost identical. Gary Brooker rocks!
His voice sounds the same!!! He's so great, I can't believe it!!!!
God embraces you for what you have given to the world.
RIP. YOUR BEAUTIFUL TALENT LIVES ON. THANK YOU. SO SORRY.
Salty dog..Loved the seagull on guitar! The choir.. The orchestra .. And the passionate folksy voice .. Great !!!
Lives on here on Cape Fear North Carolina USA
Gary Brooker's vocals really are superb here.
We all have to recover fom this masterpiece Gary Brooker thank you very much !!
Masterpiece...
Quando si è sensibilmente predisposti e si incontra l'ispirazione alla giusta ora, può nascere un Capolavoro come questo...
Degno spartiacque tra la musica degli anni' 60 e tutto quello che è accaduto almeno fino ad oggi...
(Chi non ha Sognato con "A come Avventura "?!...)
Grazie Gary, Grazie Procol Harum...
Wow!! As if the original version wasn't stellar enough!! It must be absolute heaven to be Gary Brooker at a moment like this....with the divine choir & orchestra backing him up. It just doesn't get any better!!! He still has one of the most recognizable voices in Pop Music. So fine!!!! ~King Bear
Yes it's so perfect.
Magnificence!
Amen. I adore him!
absolutely! :)
Love Gary Brooker
He ages like a fine wine
I've always found A Salty Dog a very magical song, very moving. Glad to see I am not the only one. Thank you all. Love and peace.
Mit dem Orchester und dem Chor kommt das Lied noch besser zur Geltung - eine wirklich gute Idee.
Rest In Peace Gary. You were an inspiration to me.
The best songs have the capacity to transport you to another place. I see a ship sailing through the treacherous waters around Cape Horn when I listen to "Salty Dog." I never tire of this wonderful piece of music.
Went to Monte Carlo to see them, fulfilled a lifetime ambition, only 1 word to describe it, STUPENDOUS!! When they did Whiter Shade of Pale, you could hear a pin drop, I saw so many people weep with joy, what a concert!! Worth the 1200 mile round trip, and I'd do it again tomorrow, in a heartbeat. Awesome.
He had such an exceptionally beautiful melancolic voice... ❤️
One of the most beautiful songs of all time .
Procol harum
Thank you so much for all the beautiful music .
Spectacular
Cheers
Wow, this is really wonderful! Never understood why Procol hasn't been inducted for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame until now.
Yes!
They have not, a travesty, the Rock and roll is a piece of shit, they have kept Out some of the greatest musicians ¡😎¡
They're already in in my book. I saw them with Dad at Westbury Theatre in February and wow! Gary is amazing. That voice is so powerful. But it's the music and his well it's played too. The unique chemistry they have. Wonderful.
because the retards who run that ridiculous venue are bloody eejits that's why
@@PhukIT1865 they let in all kinds of shiftless idiots.
Love it! Gary Brooker's voice is still wonderful and the Danish National Orchestra back Procol Harum beautifully. Derived from a J.S. Bach creation. The entire Salty Dog album is one I have been listening to since 1970.
One of my first albums at 11 years old thanks to my big brother. Thanks Dennis
There are still beautiful souls in the world!
