Editorial Reviews

British rock legends Procol Harum are captured here at their finest, in concert at London’s Union Chapel. The band perform tracks from their latest album, The Well’s On Fire, alongside many of their classics including Pandora’s Box, Homburg, Conquistador, A Salty Dog, Quite Rightly So and the rarely-heard full-length version of the immortal A Whiter Shade Of Pale. It was the last night of a tour that had taken them from London through Europe, Japan and North America and back again to London, and the band celebrated with a truly magical performance.

Procol Harum are one of the select group of acts who had a No.1 hit with their first single. A Whiter Shade Of Pale continues to hold a fascination for all ages, and was recently voted into the all-time top ten of UK No.1’s in a poll to celebrate 50 years of the UK charts. Beyond this, the band has had a string of successful singles and albums on both sides of the Atlantic.

This Special Edition is the only place to get the CD companion to this remarkable performance from Procol Harum.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superlative DVD, February 25, 2006

This review is from: Procol Harum:Live at the Union Chapel (2 Pack) (DVD)

The only "rip-offs" are by the people (reviewers) extracting the audio by using software. No one is "forcing" anyone to repuchase the DVD. It is a bonus for new purchasers, or repurchasers. Since when were CDs made part of DVD packages? This DVD is dramatic and powerful, with an ideal mix of Procol Harum classics and new songs, rich in lyrical quality with unmatchable musicianship, in a venue in keeping with this great British band.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Performance and Recording, April 16, 2006

This review is from: Procol Harum:Live at the Union Chapel (2 Pack) (DVD)

This is one magnificent concert, wherein drummer Mark Brzezicki and guitarist Geoff Whitehorn, after more than 10 years with the group, (in my opinion) finally learned to do justice to Procol Harum's music. The musicianship throughout is outstanding, especially the interaction between Whitehorn and PH founding member, Hammond organist Matthew Fisher. The sound engineering is a revelation, and when played loud through a good sound system, this disk comes very close to matching the HUGE Dynamic Procol Harum Live sound from its Classic period, something that none of the studio albums or previous concert recordings has ever achieved.

The classic tunes sound fantastic - this is my favorite rendition of "Conquistador" anywhere - and the songs from The Well's On Fire, their 2003 CD, have been incredibly improved, so much more ALIVE!, than on that album. Standouts are "An Old English Dream," "The Question" and especially "The Signature", the exciting Fisher-composed instrumental.

Though the CD is a 60 minute excerpt of the entire concert, and I would have made a couple of substitutions, all the best tunes are there and its sound quality is excellent. I'm glad the CD has been made available because I'm planning on sending one to my local Classic Rock radio station and requesting some well-deserved airplay for "The Signature."

Listen to Gary Brooker mangle the words to several PH classics! Watch as he fumbles with sheet music while the band vamps behind him! Try in vain to read the slogans on the guitarist's shirts! Then rewatch the whole concert, and revel in a great performance - two sets around an encore - featuring a band, incredible as it may seem, in it's prime. This is one of the best editions of the band... Quite Rightly So, A Salty Dog, Whisky Train, As Strong as Samson all soar, and they even reinvent the weakest song on their recent cd, The Question, turning it into a lively r&b jam. And there is nothing in pop music like Brooker's grand piano and Fisher's majestic Hammond organ playing. Too bad they're not speaking anymore.
