The original version in 1967 had 4 verses. Because the song was much longer than usual at over 4 minutes, two verses were left out. Keith Reid said: "No problem, it works just like that." But with verses 3 and 4, things become clearer. Here are all four verses: We skipped the light fandango turned cartwheels 'cross the floor I was feeling kinda seasick but the crowd called out for more The room was humming harder as the ceiling flew away When we called out for another drink the waiter brought a tray And so it was that later as the miller told his tale that her face, at first just ghostly, turned a whiter shade of pale. She said: "There is no reason and the truth is plain to see." But I wandered trough my playing cards and would not let her be one of sixteen virgins who were leaving for the coast and although my eyes were open they might have have just as well been closed And so it was ... She said: "I'm home on shore leave" Though in truth we were at sea So I took her by the looking glass and forced her to agree saying: "You must be the mermaid Who took Neptune for a ride." But she smiled at me so sadly that my anger straightway died And so it was ... If music be the feed of love the laughter is its queen and likewise is behind is in front then dirt in truth is clean My mouth by then like cardboard seemed to slip straight through my head So we crash-dived straightway quickly and attacked the ocean bed.
Usually, a piece of music in its original version is the best thing you can hear. I have known this piece since it was released in 1967, it has accompanied me all my life. Here Gary Brooker has managed to interpret A Whiter Shade Of Pale even better than he did in 1967. Unfortunately, he has already passed away. R.I.P. Gary
Robin was like a secret weapon. When he sang it was just a whole new level. I am so sad for Barry…the oldest of 4 brothers is the only one left. Just not fair.
Derek and the Dominos were a one-off in the early 1970s. Megalomaniac Eric Clapton loved to bring in musicians from other bands for an album, go on tour, then leave to form another band (The Powerhouse, Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominos). Those four bands came and went in the span of 5 years. In this case, he left Derek and The Dominos to join the band that opened for them on tour... Delaney & Bonnie. Oh, and the piano outro was actually a separate solo song created by the drummer that Clapton forced him to tag onto the end of this song, or he'd kick him out of the band. Clapton found him using studio time late at night recording it. The story behind this song: Clapton stole his 'best friend" George Harrison's wife Patti Boyd. She is Layla.
His latest album, which is out now ,has a song on it called I won't crumble, it is on the uk .the Voice, on you tube, explains about his life worth a listen to
Thank you. This was released towards the end of the Cold War, at a point when change was happening, and hope for a future was growing, but no one could be sure it wouldn't end in nuclear fire.
Mick is saying have some sympathy for the devil as the devil has been blamed for various wars and assassinations. Whereas, as Mick says, it's because of you and me.
Roger Hodgson, wrote this song back when he was in boarding school in England. It was before he joined Supertramp. Then he arranged it for the band and here is the result for this album. He sings this song as a 17 year old wondering what did he really learn from that school. He's amazing. Please check out his RU-vid channel "Roger Hodgson" there are several live performances done much later and he has a different band but he still sounds amazing. He's 74 now and still singing and playing his music.
If I remember correctly, this was them reenacting the original recording for a TV special. That's the reason for the behind-the-scenes feel of it. The bass player, Athol Guy, was known for those hornrims for many years.
I'm impressed with your great question on Marks picking technique. It sure looks like he uses the side of his thumb. Wish I knew how he does it. You should trademark that "Cul-de-sac of keys". Royalties.
Good song, yes... but the groundbreaking video is incredible - one of the greatest (if not the greatest) ever. (When you combine the two, you have a classic!) I can definitely see how it must have blown people away when it first came out. The animation technique - "rotoscoping" - combines real human movement with drawing; and someone else here ("top40researcher31") has explained how it works far better than I ever could! Anyway, it is, indeed, "unique" in the truest sense of the word: the only one of its kind.
Interesting that you mentioned the lighting. As I remember, Phil Collins was inspirational in the development of the Vera Light system (those robotic color/pattern changing lights) for his invisible touch tour, now a staple of show and theater lighting.
Hi beauties! Thank you for uploading your reaction video! The band Pussycat is for me a trip back to my childhood; just great memories! May I recommend another great childhood memory? Exactly in the era of Pussycat, the Dutch band called 'the Cats' had its golden era. May I suggest to you: 'One way wind' by the Cats. I guess you will be stunned by the amazing vocals of their legendary lead singer Piet Veerman. (Yes, his voice is like Roy Orbison.)
