@@shirinbajan214 Scary to think about myself to be that old geezer whatsoever. It went too fast.
There will never be an era like it again -we were very fortunate
One of the most beautiful songs ever written !!!! Uma das músicas mais bonitas já escritas !!!
What we see and hear is music history. One of the absolute best songs of all time. Those of us who belong to the older generation and were there from the beginning will never forget!
Amen Brother!
que de merveilleux souvenirs
I AM 65 AND STILL LOVE THIS SONG AS IF I JUST HEARED IT YESTERDAY, WOW GREATE 🎵 ❤❤❤
We lost Gary Brooker today. May he rest in peace.

WE LOST HIM TODAY, BUT NOT FOREVER!!!!! 🤘🏼😠🇧🇷
80th rip
That's so sad 😢
J'adore je vous aime depuis toujours ❤
RIP Gary. This is one of the greatest rock songs ever written.
Peter Frampton said the same thing
And that's the absolute truth 💙👍
Ouço está canção há décadas e ainda toca minha alma. Essa voz é inesquecível! RIP Gary! 🇧🇷💔😢
Keith Reid wrote the lyrics.
Top 10 ever
This song toyched my soul when i was 15 years old. I am 71 and it still touches my soul!!
Thank you Gary . Rest in Peace 🙏 ❤
68 here, Controvercial, and classic.....Jefferson Airplane, ELO, ELP, zepplin, Pink Floyd. How many others began in the 60's and 70's?

73 here Sr in high school when this was popular.❤
Мне 72 и со времён своей молодости балдею от этой вещи
Real artists, real music. I'm so glad I grew up in this era.
Heard this when I was in South Viet Nam as a Combat Infantryman '68, Good old days, better in the early 60's
It was the best of times
It was the worst of times
YEE, BUT THE MUSIC WAS SO SO GOOD. PEACE TO YOU ALL MY FRIEND'S. 🙏✌️😎🏴
Me too.
Anche io
I love Gary Brooker. I love Procol Harum.
Me also
Wonderful...
No one else sounded like them. Truly unique
SHOW.
TEMPOS GUE NAO VOLTA MAIS SO. DEUS
What a beautiful time of life to be a teen!
People were beautiful people back then!
ALL the great Musicians came from that era!
So Beautiful,,,,,,I wish I could go back in Time! Makes me cry!
Speak the Truth
It was an amazing time.
But what was your draft number?
In 68 we lost Bobby, Martin.
Massive riots. Chicago was chaos during the Democratic Convention.
We had the tet offensive, Russia crushed the Czech Spring,
Not the greatest time.
Es verdad ...pienso igual ..una época Hermosa y simple , básicos !❤ ahora de 70 años lo disfruto ......
One mustn't allow chaos to destroy their own journey...
The BEST music in world history! The 60s & 70s brought us the most diverse, amazing music by so many wonderful bands. I can’t even name one of today’s singers or bands that would even make the top 100 if they performed back then. It’s all autotuned, pitch-corrected blandness with a dozen half naked background dancers. Look at the Super Bowl halftime show last night (2/11/24). It was a horrendously bland performance. I could’ve been on that stage and received raving applause because people today don’t know anything other that mediocracy.
@@miguelservetus9534 My draft number was 32
I'm 70,still know every word,and miss the time when we dance in the Discos 😢😊
This song was before disco came around…thank god
I bought this record for my lovely cousin Jackie,who sadly passed away,we enjoyed listening to it together.❤
what a voice and melody, can't stop listening to this classic, pity we don't have bands like this anymore these days 💔 😢
great bands great songs, i miss those days. many people back then have passed away, where did the time go ?
We do. They play in bars and little clubs all across the USA. They play whatever is popular at the moment.

One of my all-time favorites. RIP Gary Brooker.
Yes, he caught the restlessness of the British youth in that time period and for better or worse they went on to shake the world-it is an enigma, why the English brought in such revolutionary changes, indeed R.I.P. Gary.
Love Whiter Shade of Pale. My all time favorite song 🇺🇸🙋🏼♀️
Потрясающая музыка , вечная, память и благодарность всем, кто написал музыку и слова, исполнителю, я часто слушаю и плачу от от прекрасных эмоций.
Sadly we had 2 decades of amazing bands..that period will never be repeated..
77 here, and one of the music highlights of my life. Fabulous voice.
RIP Gary Brooker. Thankyou for the beautiful music.
I`m turning 75 and this makes me feel young. We`d listen to this on our tubed am radios. Then hi-tech came along and we`d install reverbs in our cars. Going over bumps sounded like a thunderstorm.
Beautiful voice that got better and better as he gets older. RIP Sir Gary Brooker . Thank you for the music. ❤️
And Robin Trower kept the spark alive for many more decades
Still gives me chills after many decades … fabulous👍
I am so glad that this rare performance still exists, a live version with full ending, people will be viewing this in 100 years time.
It's a derivation of Bach and a perfect example of how music transcends time. I won't hear it in 100 years, but I am surely glad to have the chance now.
Так точно !!!
@@seanfinnerty1689 Very true
Where's the third verse?
Who's play organ
It is now October 2022. And this song still pulls you in its magic. Wonderful. Eternal.
Hmm 2/23 and I feel the same! Much Love!
Yes!!! One of the most amazing songs ever… that voice ❤❤❤❤
And in 2024 Lucy Thomas recorded and released her version of this song and killed it !! Such a beautiful singer, yet she performed this song and owns it now !!!

We are so fortunate to have a music time machine to take us back again to the great music of our youth!
Thanks to CZcams ❤
One of the most beautiful timeless songs I’ve heard or grew up with
Yet as the years have gone on I’ve grown old and weary but by lord this song stays young it just never grows old or tired
Amen.
The Melody is by Bach
Ah, the decades of my youth. So many great bands producing incredible music. I can only describe this song as ‘haunting’. I never tire of listening.
Inoubliable 😢
Oui comme vous je ressens la même force de la vie avec une ☝️ émotion ❤vibrante intacte quel bonheur 👌
The 60's 70's and 80's produced music inspired by true geniuses. This group is a just another great example. These guys are incredible.
MUSIC at it's BEST, not the crap we have for the past three decades.
So sad they are forgotten to day
You are very righ.
É por causa da repressão
Que música más bonita
RIP Gary. One of the greatest voices and songs ever
I will never get tired of this song. And the organ is so soulful. I just love this.
I think it's a JS Bach melody ...
Très belle mélodie que de souvenirs ❤
RIP Gary Brooker. Great so see this amazing live version of one of the greatest songs ever.
😯😢❤️
@@mirtaovejero1032 eew
This song is my personal dedication to Ukraine. GO DOWN SWINGING! WHO'S HOUSE IS THIS?! GOD IS GOOD.
I could not agree more. You will be missed Gary but your music will live on in the hearts of music lovers.

Always my favourite song, always will be.

Per me e' la piu' bella canzone di tutti i tempi.
I love Gary. What a powerful voice. I am so sad he's passed.
Did see his LIVE open concert in Scandinavia a few years ago with an orchestra as backing??? Awesome
Everyone applauds his songwriting genius but the way he sings this song in this clip is fantastic. And he sang it great for many decades after.
Sad to see him go but happy he stayed with us so long.
Just Divine this Hammond organ,love it
Great song...one of my favorites...being born in the early 50s...It means something to my generation....thanks
Recordar é viver, dancei muito essa música nos bailinhos de funde dr quintal, era D+, os amigos, as minas, as cubas, os haifais, etc, éramos felizes e sabíamos. Abs a todos q curtiram essa época é estão vivos, tenho 67 anos hoje.
RIP Gary Brooker - one of the all time great voices ❤️
Sad to think that the musical talent of Gary Brooker and drummer BJ Wilson are with us no more. They were part of an amazing group.
What happen to BJ Wilson?
@@kathyrizzi8754 drug overdose put him into a coma for several years and then he passed away much to soon.
@@NYWaters I’m sorry to hear this about BJ. 😪♥️thank you for answering my question, so sad!😭🌹
So do i
He also was the drummer for the rocky horror picture show soundtrack.
Tears flowing freely ... Touches my soul everytime ....RIP to Gary. You were an angel.
I was 20 years old in Spain, when I first heard White Shade of Pale in the radio. For me, that song in one of the best song´s at 60´s... The voice of Gary is extraordinary beautiful.
In 1967 I was 8 years only, but this song is the one of greatest rock songs who was ever written! Thank You Procol Harum! RIP Gary Brooker
@Rickard Borowicz….I also was 8 years old in 1967!! Awesome 😎 song!! R.I.P. Gary 💔🕊
@@donnarupert4926 +++ In 1967 I was 8 years old in Silesia! + Free Silesia! +++
I beat you I was 10. LOL One classic song, deep in our memories of life. Music will last forever in this life and more so in the next. PTL
I was 16!
I was 15 and in love 😍
One of the most incredible songs one will ever hear.
B・Jウィルソンを観た時、胸がドキドキしました。けれど若くして亡くなったと知り悲しかったです。歳を取られてからステージに上がっている方が沢山いらっしゃいますが、B・Jはどんなおじいさんになっていたのでしょう。それを見ることは叶いません。昔の映像でしか観られないので尚更、それが宝物に思えます。素敵な素敵なB・J、大好きです。
Ainda contemplo o teu lindo rosto e volto no tempo. Eu era apenas uma garota quando ouvi essa música pela primeira vez.
Hoje, com 73 anos de idade ainda a escuto, fecho os olhos e me transporto.
Obrigada Gary Brooker, você mora no meu coração.
Eles não sabiam que essa canção atravessaria tantas gerações! Um clássico!!!
Que saudades desta época maravilhosa,eu com 19 anos❣️
Muy acertadas sus palabras🙏🎶
Nessa época eles não poderiam supor que sua canção estaria em 2023...sendo admirada e encantando pessoas. Parabéns....🌷🌷🌷♥️
One of the most brilliant songs ever composed!!
@Knut Rosetten not really.
@Knut Rosetten here yt was comparison. Not much common really. Same tunes, no.
Всегда плачу, когда слушаю эту песню. Ностальгия
First heard this song when I was 14. I could make no sense at all of the words. The singer sounded like he was dying. But I loved the organ playing. I'm 71 and it is the favorite song of my life. How many songs have sold more than 10 million copies? Thank you Keith Reid, Gary Brooker, Matthew Fisher, session drummer Bill Eyden and producer Denny Cordell!
Muza ponadczasowa 👍coś pięknego uwielbiam ich słuchać 😢👏🎶👌
Beautiful 🤩 67yrs old love love the 60s-70s music
Getting emotional as I reminisce one of the best ever songs and feeling proud that I grew up up in those marvelous irreverent years❤
Non mi stanco di riascoltare questo gruppo straordinario....sono diventata fan che avevo 12 anni..,ora ne ho 67 e mi emozionano come allora....
A handsome young Gary Brooker. Maybe 23 years old here. Here we are 53 years later. Just an as absolute song for the ages….Bridges 3 generations.
And to this day no one can sing or remember the entire lyrics.
Que temaso , esa música está en mi adn , que bella estapa de mi vida .
Siempre esperaba con expectación esta canción para bailarla con mi chica favorita cuando tenía 17 años. Hoy tengo 69 y todavía tengo un recuerdo vivísimo.
Back to the 60s real life
@@AlfonsoSegundo791 j 'avais 6 ans
Com essa musica maravilhosa , eu volto a minha infância, eu tinha 9 anos , tempo bom , recordo a minha mãezinha, Deus amado que saudades !
❤❤❤
Robin Trower, a very young man here! What a band to be born from and move on to his solo career. Magical times. I saw him first on his solo tour when no one knew him, just came out with Bridge of Sighs and opened for Ten Years After. Think this must have been 1974?
His voice was eternal!!💖
One of the best concerts was Robin Trower in 74 and playing Bridge of Sighs... Man the talent in this band!.. RIP Gary and thank you..
I didn't get to see Trower until the late 1980's (saw him twice at the D'Anza in Riverside). Always loved his music, and he was equally fantastic live. Whenever I play his stuff, my son absolutely loves it.
This is the one of the most beautiful masterpieces,
I’m 75 years old…, and this song is still my number one ❤.🎼🎹🎸 Love it❤
Gary Brooker and I were born the same year. I was born in March he in May. Due to my ginger DNA having longevity. RIP Gary your music was/is great.
was born in March and was also a ginger. My DNA is also great.
I was 16 when this song came out, we were in Campbeltown Scotland on vacation, they were playing it from a ship in the harbour, you could hear it all over town. Still remember it, after 55 years . Great song.
Nice...i was 12 years young...
Wow. What a vivid memory. I”d like to have been there
Robin Trower is literally ROCKING!!
He is just quietly strumming along on this track. Of course he was not on the original recording and the guitar there was inaudible too. Or maybe you just mean (humorously) rocking from side to side? ! BJ is having too much of a thrash and the pitching is a bit dodgy. But a historic film to see
You are kidding right?
If you want to hear Trower rocking out with the band check out the album Broken Barricades
Classic old beautiful song. Good music never dies. Fortunately, I lived in that era.
❤UN CHEF-D’ŒUVRE ♥️👍😪🙏🏻🌹🖤LES PLUS BELLES ANNÉES 🌹♥️🕯️
His singing is so effortless… you can tell he is so talented and gifted. God bless him! Amen 🙏

No doubt one of the best.
Yes this song is wonderful for the fight to the Vietnam war
A forever masterpiece
Hi Caterina💐💐
Great song. It always takes me back. His voice is amazing.
Never gets old. Truly a timeless song.
Божественно! Одна из тех композиций, которым не грозит забвение...
One thing most people don’t know about Gary is that he was not only a great singer but at least to me was a very nice and generous person who helped me when I really needed it and he offered without me even asking!
I hope things are better for you, mate.
Love his voice it never changed
素晴らしいです…‼もう半世紀以上も前の曲なのでが、今聴いてもいい歌です…‼
この曲に（青い影）という邦題を考えてくれた方もすごいと思っています…‼
I was seventeen. To this day I still love this song. One the my all time favorites. But as time goes by, it means so much more to me. A lifetime has gone by.
I was 17 also. Senior year of high school. Oh the memories😊
@@virginiaknighten4687And Virginia, college English had me read ( The Miller's Tale is mentioned in this song ) part of Chaucer 'The Canterbury Tales .'
@@robertknowles2699 okay. That is a very interesting fact.
im 17 right now loving this song
@@sophiaswierczynski4583 you have great taste in music 🎶
The quintessential anthem of the psychedelic rock area. Rest in peace, Gary Brooker!
This is one of humanity’s best songs. What a gift of sound. The emotion sensors it touches. That synth. Jeez.
There were no synths in 1968, what you hear is a Hammond organ
💯
@@EmmaPeelman en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammond_organ
@@amnoneylath And what is your point in sending me this link, Ari?
Not just a Hammond, but running it through a Leslie.
One of my favorite songs. The percussion is awesome.
One of my favorite songs of the fabulous 60's. Best time to be a teen ❤
12 years at the time. Such a timeless and wonderful song.
Saw them in 1972, one of the greatest songs ever, and still playing it today. Sleep well Gary, and thank you for the music.
You were fortunate to have the opportunity to see them in person. Can you tell us where this was and anything you can about it?
@@dina113east It was at the Hammersmith Odeon around 1972, slightly vague on the year, that's age for you!
I am 66 years old and this song started my youth. I love it!. Rest in peace Garry ! 🌹
This is one of the songs that really affected me in my childhood and still does to this day. Thank You Procul Harum!
Rip Gary! O mundo foi presenteado com essa música icônica e essa voz maravilhosa, inconfundível, inesquecível! 😢💔🇧🇷
That organ is haunting. I can describe it no other way. Everything about this song is, literally, classic. It should be heard by generation after generation. I hope this song never dies.
Haunting is the perfect word for the entire song, not just the organ, although it does basically carry the song. I've become obsessed with it.
A great band effort, but the Hammond organ of Matthew Fisher does make the song. Too bad he had to go to court to win the royalties he so richly deserved!
The vocals are scary good. The organ is great. The drum fills compliment the organ beautifully. RIP Mr. Brooker
@@cjgoulet 1966 eu tinha 12 anos ja escutava esta musica o dia todo nos radios. Hoje c 67 anos escuto ela na internet o dia todo com eles etambem c mt outros artistad ê só saudade e nada mais.
@@manoelsouza381 Nostalgic yes. I'm just about as old as you and can remember studying at night and hearing these songs, pretty much all so much better than today's. I used to drum in the 70s and 80s. These old songs are truly great as I sit and relearn fills in my mid 60s. Buenos dias.
Uma icônica canção, parece flutuar na nostalgia, saudade infinita...😲💥✨
This song forever changed how I listen to and appreciate music, thank you Procol Harum!!
Definitivamente essa música é uma das mais importantes do repertório mundial do século XX...
Não sei o que ela trás, mas há algo diferente nela, que nos reporta a outras esferas, como se ela nos transportasse pra algum espaço fora do planeta!!!
Um negócio diferente, dá vontade de não parar de ouvir, por cem vezes seguidas... Não sei explicar....mas ADORO!!!!
Concordo plenamente,tem algo de transcendental!
I'm 73 and still enjoying listening to this song.
Sim essa canção tem algo nela diferente não sei o que é eu tinha 1 ano em 1968 msis não sei o porque gosto muinto dessa canção linda muinto bonita sem duvida um obra prima .
The very best memory from 67
Essa música me traz muitas recordações fazia décadas que não ouvia essa linda canção tô muito feliz tenho 68 anos
This is a Procol Harum historical masterpiece . M . Fischer wearing a druid robe playing the organ was perfect as was his playing .
Should've figured it was a band member and not Emperor Palpatine.
There are just some songs that are perfect. This is one of them. RIP Gary.
R.I.P. Gary Brooker. My favorite song of all times. A masterpiece that even earned the praise of John Lennon - once noted as saying he wished he'd written it.
@Knut Rosetten Yea, but the original lyrics sucked
This is my all-time favorite song, 1967 the beginning of an Era of the best songs , that have never faded away they are still favorites today.
Yes, in my opinion, 1967 was the year that produced the best songs ever. 1968 and 1969 were a close second.
Theres something so good and pure to me about the way music sounded in the later 60s and early 70s its sounds just the right way music should to me and this song encapsulates that perfectly.
Always loved this song, the melody, the rhythm, the soul. So much soul …. Back in the day … there was no fancy mixing and pitch adjustments…. Pure talent , musicianship and genuine live vocal performances …. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Sheri💐💐
Simply beautiful music
Another singer/performer from my youth now gone. They're all leaving. Brilliant song. Never tire of hearing it.
懐かしかネ😂ワシが17歳の時この曲を聴いて心臓がドキドキした❤ワシはビートルズ「15歳」来日後また最高の時間をありがとうございますと思いました
This Song Touched
So Many HEARTS
WHAT GREAT MEMORIES 💕
Great song sums up the sixties. Fabulous era to grow up in so much great music. RIP Gary Brooker
Thanks Gary Brooker, Matthew Fisher and Keith Reid for this masterpiece.
I remember my daughter..4 years old then in 1984,she submerged my tapes in water including Whiter shade of Pale..!Yet,the memory lingers! Then in 1997,I became a songwriter..God is Great!
what does god have to do with it?
I am 70 years old and the song has stood it's time. Love Gary Booker and the entire band.
Gary Brooker's soulfull voice and Matthew "monk" Fisher's Hammond organ still gives me goosebumps. Since it's release in the summer of love (1967) one of my alltime favourites.
