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).
Eberhard Schoener (who had toured with Procol Harum, his Munich Chamber Opera Orchestra and the Toelzer Boys Choir in Germany, Austria and Switzerland 1972) invited Gary for his first CLASSICAL ROCK NIGHT in Munich. The mammooth concert was transmitted on TV in 16 countries, full length, six hours. Other guests were Mike Batt, Esther Ofarim, Andy Mackay, Mel Collins, Jon Anderson, Darryl Way.
There has never been a retransmission of this event and private VHS recorders at that time were rare! So this may be the only surviving tape
of this "In Held 'Twas In I" featuring B.J.Wilson !!
