Procol Harum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Procol Harum (/ˈproʊkəl ˈhɑːrəm/) are an English rock band formed in 1967. They contributed to the development of progressive rock, and by extension, symphonic rock. Their best-known recording is their 1967 hit single "A Whiter Shade of Pale", which is considered a classic of popular music and is one of the few singles to have sold over 10 million copies.[1] Although noted for its baroque and classical influence, Procol Harum's music also embraces the blues, R&B and soul.

In October 2012, the band was nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[2]

For anyone not familiar with the band, their two best known songs are Whiter Shade of Pale and Conquistador.

Here is a great live version of Whiter Shade of Pale from just several years ago:

Also, a member of the band from 1967-1971 was Robin Trower. Trower went on to form his own group. Here is, by far, in many people’s opinion, their best work:

Definitely one of the more creative acts from that era; I was blown away by their performance with the Edmonton Symphony. Nothing like it on the radio, ever.

The live version of “Conquistador” is in my top 20 all time favorite songs..

[cardinal4]

Well, you learn something new everyday. I never knew Robin Trower was in Procul Harem..

[ETL]

I didn’t either until some knowledgeable friends of mine mentioned it about a year ago while I was playing some Trower on my portable boombox.

[Squawk 8888]

I agree. Bringing in a full orchestra (Edmonton Symphony) was epic.

[djf]

My first rock concert.

Sometime in 69...

I was never a big PH fan but Conquistador is a GREAT song - especially live.

There’s an absolutely amazing live, outdoor version in Denmark with orchestra - sadly no longer available.

[newfreep]

“Salty Dog” from that Danish concert I mentioned before...

The version I have is from ‘73 and is with the Edmonton Philharmonic. It’s a real fun song to play on guitar, too, which is surprisingly a very similar chord progression to “You’ll be a woman soon”, by Neil Diamond..

[ADemocratNoMore]

In Held ‘Twas I - One of the all-time greatest progressive masterpieces. Epic !

[Fiji Hill]

I was never a big PH fan but Conquistador is a GREAT song

In the song, the conquistador is killed on a beach. Perhaps he was fighting French pirates at Havana in the 1570's or Dutch privateers at Acapulco in 1624.
