In grateful memory to Gary Brooker (1945 - 2022) Procol Harum and Sinfonie-Orchester Wuppertal und die Kantorei Barmen-Gemarke conducted by David Firman Line up: Gary Brooker - voc, piano Geoff Whitehorn - guitar Matt Pegg - bass, voc Josh Phillips - organ Geoff Dunn - drums Originally released on Procol’s second album SHINE ON BRIGHTLY (1968), “In Held ’Twas In I“ saw it’s orchestrated coming out on the highly successful LIVE WITH THE EDMONTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA album (1972). I was in doubt to share this recording, because of poor filming and shaky pictures (esp. in the first part), but the orchestral performance of the work is hard to find on YT, so here it is in full length.
