Gary Brooker the front man of Procol Harum has only just recently passed away. RIP Gary another great loss.

[knutsto]

Listen also to Salty dog from a consert in Denmark in 2006. Forty years later Gary's voice is even better.

[LORELLism]

GARY BROOKER! CHECK OUT HIS CONCERT in DENMARK! I LOVE HIM!❤

[royboy]

This song and GRAND HOTEL are my top faves of theirs, done so well. GH will blow you away !!

[alanFconrad]

One of my all time favorite Gary Brooker

[Rickhorse]

As far as the meaning of the song - People have tried to interpret the lyrics for 50 years. As with a lot of good poetry, it can seen in different ways. The most common view is that it is written from the point of view of a sailor (or pirate) who has died at sea....telling the story of how they perished. (A salty dog is an old english term for "an old seaman".) So yes, you got the tone correctly...definitely sad. (If you watch the live version from my previous comment, you'll be amazed at how amazing Brooker's voice still was...almost 40 years after the original recording.)

My fave Procol Harum song. '69. I was in high school. Imagine hearing this over 50 years blows my mind. Poetry.

[Treeborer]

Nice to see In the Court of the Crimson King album cover displayed in the background. One of the GOAT prog rock albums. 🙂🙂

[RayRay-otxd]

RIP Gary Booker....that voice!!! In heaven to sing to the angels!

[alanconrad]

great Wilsons drums sound amazing ....(not to mention Gary's voice lol)

[davidbentley]

The lot of a sailors life at that time wasn't an easy one...Ty guys for this

[larryfroot]

The live version of this, Homburg and A Whiter Shade of Pale in Denmark in 2006 are jaw-droppingly gorgeous.

[Airshift]

This and Conquistador from the live in Edmonton are breathtaking. There’s a full symphony and choir. Whaling Stories is also on there and it makes you feel you are on that ship hunting Whales.

[kluanghtam]

You guys should hear the 1971 Live with Edmonton Symphony Orchestra version of the song. It was the best version for me. It has a tad faster tempo, livelier acoustics and grander outro..

[lucianocatarin]

Hey Boys and girls, this Is a masterpiece , and the great, great voice of the emotional

[kevinlakeman]

Gary Brooker's voice is truly a brilliant, golden instrument all its own. He does subtle and epic equally well.

[CorradoMartone]

Complimenti. Gli unici che ascoltano il brano e poi ne discutono senza inutili, irritanti pause. Well done. 👍👍👍🥰🥰

[f.w.]

Such a sad, gorgeous song! Keith Reid the lyricist was brilliant and in this song he wasn't just talking about sailing ships! Another great Procol Harum song (among many) is Homburg. r.i.p Gary Brooker, your voice will be missed. Keep up the great channel you two!

[kathyedleman]

Try "Conquistador " live from Edmonton. That version is the one we heard on the radio :)

[willeforsberg]

P Harum is one of my favorite bands and Grand Hotel the best record they made!!!
