Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade Of Pale (Live in Denmark, 2006) REACTION 

I was at that concert, sitting in the third row in front of the stage. That was one of the greatest concert experiences of my life.

Notice how humble Gary Brooker is- “Thank you for having us” Not full of himself though he could be, compared to the trash today passed off as music.

Gary Brooker still sounding as good as he did in the sixties. Amazing song.

RIP lead singer Gary Brooker thanks for this great masterpiece!

I was 20 when this song was released and I have loved it ever since. But the recording of this concert brought tears to my eyes. It really did.

This is one of the best live performance I ever heard. Fantastic.

One of the best songs ever made

When you said you didn't pay attention to the lyrics and still feeling the whole vibe is why you can be moved by a song without understanding the language. That's the magic of music.

This 2006 concert is such a great exhibition of the band's enormous talent...

This sung is a Masterpiece sung by the late and great Gary Brooker Procol Harum RIP.

The emotions are stirred cause its straight from Heaven🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👼you can see THE angels crying its so beautiful

Joh. Lennon and Bruce Springstein considered this to be one of the best songs ever recorded. The chorus gives the performance a fuller sound. A rock classic.

this is a masterpiece i remember this in the sixties and this is even better especially being in the open air magical voice and what about the orchestra as well as the ladies choir singing like angels respect and best wishes to the people in denmark from the uk xx

One of the most beautiful songs ever. The older he got, the deeper from his soul this song came.

This musical number was played on the church organ at our wedding in the church 25 years ago

The singer didn't just play the piano, he wrote the music. :-) Off the scale on my talent meter.. :-)

Gary Booker has recently passed away Feb 2022. . Here was only 22 born 1945, when he had done the original. It was released in 1967.. He is a creative genius. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent. One of the best singing voices.

Can't. Ask for much more. A beautiful lady, reacting, to a beautiful song.

Beautiful song touched a woman with a beautiful soul and looks.

This is one of my very favorite performances

Baby Girl; popular as they were in the 60s they were way ahead of their time and as such, were a bit of an acquired taste. I’d say they held up to the test of time. True masterpiece.

Mo, I’m so glad you were finally able to enjoy this masterpiece. That was The Danish National Orchestra and Chorus with Procol Harum. The 1967 original is very beautiful too. Has always been my favorite song.

What a beautiful melody, I've been listening to this song for over 50 year and I still love it.

This song gives me chills of emotion & I flashback to the 70's when times were simiplier.

Timeless Masterpiece!!! I was 15 when this song was "born" in 1967...and it will be a favorite of mine forever!!!🎵🎼🎶🎧🥁🎸🤘🤘🤘🤘💜💜💜

A timeless song that moves the Soul

Eye / Ear opener. I've heard this song 1000 times. Never a version like this. Mind blowing.

A timeless classic .

RIP Gary Brooker. Your music will always be remembered.

Everyone wells up with this version. Ethereal and gorgeous

Absolutely flawless performance by all involved. Sooo well done

This song came out when i was 10 and i had a friend who looked as you do now....god i miss her ...i haven't cried in 40yrs

I'm 69 years old and I consider myself lucky to have been able to see Procol Harum live several times over the decades since the early 70s. Each time they were fantastic. I never saw them live with an orchestra and choir, but nonetheless, they were always great.

Mo, your elegant facial expressions as you watch the videos and enjoy the music say as much as your words afterwards do! I love going to your channel not because of any extensive knowledge of the history of music but because of your genuine appreciation for and enjoyment of these classic songs. There is a purity in and a sincerity to your reactions that is lacking in so many other music reactors! Given your appreciation for great music I am going to give you some songs you are sure to enjoy reacting to! "Why" by Annie Lennox from 2000, "The Battle of Evermore" by Heart from 1995, "Old Man" from Neil Young in 1971, "Vincent" by Don McLean from 1972, "The Air That I Breathe" by The Hollies, "If" by Bread and "You Make Me So Very Happy" by Blood Sweat and Tears! Please stay genuine, as what you have here is very special!!

Beautiful song. Goes right into the heart.

Love the way you soaked it all in, like a sponge. You really seemed to take in every note. Great reaction!

Very nice version of the song. When you close your eyes, we feel that you are floating in the air.

possibly the greatest rock song ever. It makes a visceral, immediate connection. Very emotional, moving. Saw them in New Zealand back in the 1970's...they didn't play this song for some reason. I was devastated. I'm okay now.

Amazing! He sounds better than ever!

What a perfection by Booker! Very emotional!

Do you see that many of our songs from the 60's and 70's lend themselves well with a classical orchestra. I'm so glad I grew up in those times. Denmark was very lucky that night.

There is a question asked of us by the orchestra and especially asked by the lead singer, "can you trust me to romance you, to not take from you, but to fill your heart?" As the passion of the music increases, we are pressed to answer, "yes"! This can be very fearful moment.

When this song first came out in 1967 the only place you could hear it was on a pirate radio station called Radio London. I was greatly influenced by the British pirate stations and started my own pirate station in 1977 in Northern California. I ran it for 10 years before I got caught and given a $15,000 fine in mid 1987. That's when I moved my pirate station to the internet. There was no software available then for running a radio station on the internet so I wrote my own and had it up and running September 1987. 34 years later I'm still running that pirate internet radio station.

Truly a Classic ... however, this version is truly the best ... 54 years after the original was made ... He still got it!!!! Love your reaction. God Bless.

So glad you enjoyed this song. All your reactions are great. Love your smile and never stop.

Absolutely love this version, the intro to the original one though..... Is amazing

Just beautiful especially when the oboe comes in.

That organ part really makes that song!

Easy to get lost in the music with this one ... and you showed us it was true. Beautiful reaction girl... enjoy.

Mo, I was in college when this came out and have enjoyed it ever since. It is a song that does bring out a lot of emotion. It is a true masterpiece! Thanks for the beautiful reaction!

I grew up with wonderful music. Timeless

The look of peace and serenity on your face!

This has to be the ultimate rendition of this song. I recall hearing it on its first release in 1967 and it was constantly on the airwaves, haunting, beautiful, Gary Brooker sounding exactly the same in1967 as he did in 2006. It was one of those occasions where pop music collided with classical music, in this case a Baroque Bach sounding chorale to great effect. The seemingly random words without any obvious meaning when set to music which brought the lyrics to life telling a story influenced John Lennon. He acknowledged this himself. 1967 saw Lennon's 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' from the Sgt. Pepper sessions. I seem to recall that 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' was voted Best British Pop Song of all time circa 1976. Beautiful video, beautifully presented and produced. Thank you so much.

A great song from the greatest era of pop music.There are so many more!

That oboe creeping out from the wings and taking centre stage just brings chills! Ever since I started making mix tapes on an Elizabethan reel-to-reel tape recorder in 1964, this song has always been in the top 10 of my playlist.

Dear this.man Gary Brooker.is a Legend, love your reactions!😏

I have no words, but WoW !!!!!!!! Just a Beautiful Masterpiece !!!!!!!!

This song was written in 1967 and is still as relevant today as it was then.Gary Brooker Co-wrote the song sang it and played Hammond organ.What a legend.

One of my top 5 songs ever!

Probably one of the greatest performances ever 🌹

Saw this on another channel and read the comments. Wow, this song meant a lot to a lot of people! Beautiful song! Beautiful reaction!

What a great band. Even when playing W/O an orchestra this band can sound like an orchestra ! !

Hello Baby Girl I Love this version. Rest in harmonic Peace ..Gary Brooker. and Thank You.

Thank you for not interrupting this concert. This might have been to 10th or15th review of this concert I have watch tonight. You are the first one to not interrupt it with your own take on it. Yours at the channel then I will come back to thank you again.

On sait quand on se trouve en face d'un moment unique au monde... et là nous y sommes... Pure talent....

Great song more so with an orchestra,thanks for uploading, brings back memories, and never lose your lovely smile. Mick Thailand

The orchestra is the Danish National Symphony Orchestra. They do an amazing rendition of the theme song of the old Clint Eastwood movie "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly". Well worth a look.

We grow older Our voice not as strong as once it was in youth -/yet the memory is ever brighter..

Watching your reaction was a beautiful thing itself!…these guys are amazing. Brooker unmatched.

Chills, goosebumps, joy!!!

the singer is gary brooker founder of the procol harum group, unfortunately died this year. The song is from 1967,

What A Brilliant Song. I Remember My Older Sisters Playing This When I Was Young. Brilliant Reaction😊👍

Step 1 - Orchestra prelude Step 2 - Gary Brooker and orchestra Step 3 - Gary Brooker + orchestra + band (Procol Harum) + choir PROCOL HARUM is a latin expression that means "beyond these things" ❤ RIP Gary Brooker 1945 - 2022

Gary sings this song just like he did back in the late 60s. Watch the original video. Check out those clothes and haircut's.

Singers and drummer were fire!

Greetings to everyone from Denmark ❤🙋‍♀️

J.S. Bach will be proud of this masterpice 😍.

The last 30 days for me have been really shitty for me, I've lost my best friend and my brother-in-law, then I come, home from a weekend festival which has been emotional for me. Then I see your reaction.and it lifted my spirit so much x

Fabulous reaction, girl, to a Fabulous performance.

You look like an angel on earth, Morenikeji ...

That's why people come here Sweetie..Your reactions are All Distinctly "Heartfelt" n on some videos it's "Priceless" like this one ..

Another legendary British band from de sixties !!

You must find the version with the third and final chorus in it… When you hear the third chorus it will make the song all come together… But you never seem to hear them play the third chorus… I loved the fact that you did not talk all over the song while they played it like most of the people do… this is my very favorite all-time song, and it will be played at my funeral…best wishes…

The Danish National Concert Orchestra & Choir, helped Gary Brooker bring this classic song into a great masterpiece, that will never be outdone.

My local Southend band in the 60s Happy days

love your reaction vids , you don’t stop all the time you can just see on your face your reaction

wow thanx for this xx

Another good song I'm so glad you picked it I've never heard it like this

the lyrics contain a considerable amount of period context. in this case psycodelic way. Mixed emotions than one used to feel on the occasion of a first meeting between a boy and a girl. nervousness expectations, shame, desire to be reciprocated. I don't know if it's still like that today... but at that time it was exactly how we felt. the music brings all these sensations back to those who lived and was young in that time.

Very few songs and performances are this magical. The only other one I can think of is Heart's cover of Stairway to Heaven at Carnegie Hall.

Your beauty is a great match with the beauty of this EPIC song!

Beautiful reaction to a beautiful song :)

From the years music was made. The song was released in 1967. Its the first song i asked a girl to dance w me. I was 14....and scared to death😁😁

Your smile is absolutely mesmerizing

Your reaction was priceless. God bless your sneeze…

i love your reactions, xx

When John Lennon heard that song he said it was one he wished he had written.

That is so good, what a beautiful song and sung so well.

That's an "Elder MASTER" right there huh hehehehehe;-)) and he can still rip 50 years later... over enjoyed him and his band that long

This is one of my most favorite songs 💯 ....great reaction beautiful babygirl ❤️😘❤️
