PROCOL HARUM: CONQUISTADOR, WITH THE EDMONTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, EDMONTON CANADA, 29 / 30 MAY 1992 

Absolutely fantastic!!! Gary Brooker with a tremendous vocal delivery. The orchestra nailed it. I can't say enough. This song touches me to the core.

One of my favorite songs with a story told. That standing ovation was something special. Gary Brooker, Procol Harum and the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra nailed it solid. God Bless.

For me one of the greatest songs ever written. This performance and the one live in Denmark ( much later) are just sublime.Still remeMber you Mrr Brooker and THANK YOU!!!!!!!

I was 12 when I first heard this. Love it since. Hauntingly beautiful! RIP Gary Brooker!

This is the song I need to hear tonight. God bless you.

Thank God for these great recordings, Gary and the gang deserve all the immortality this brings. Generations will love this song far, far into the future. . . .

There will never be music anywhere close to as good as this ever again.

What a fabulous matching of Gary's voice his band , Edmonton Band .It will never be matched !

I think I was 11 or 12 years old when I heard this song for the first time. It's one of the songs that has stuck with me. I have always loved how Procol Harum uses symphonies in there productions. RIP Gary. ❤️😥

Love this man, Gary Brooker. I'm still mourning his death.

What an honour and privilege to have seen this today for the first time

I absolutely love this song ❤! I have this Album on Vinyl Record

Magnificent! They don't make 'em like this anymore and never will. This man had an amazing voice. R.I.P.

Never get tired of this. Thanks to the Late Gary Brooker Family.

What a trip that must have been for the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.

This song came out of nowhere, so unique, one of a kind, but was fully excepted as one of the great tunes of it's time

you can see it on their faces, they knew they nailed it, classic song

Rest In Peace, Gary Brooker!

A song that stands the test of time. Truly magnificent. Brings back floods of memories.

Man, his voice still sounded great! I always thought this was such an evocative song, it’s great to see people still enjoy it.

Such an epic piece! Always loved it. Just great.

Gary booker is a king of rock and roll.

The internet does have its good moments to view this is one for me... Excellent.....✌

Excellent Brooker and Whitehorn.Good,old days of true rock music.

I was working at the Jubilee Auditorium when they performed, and got the lucky straw and was able to stand in the back and watch. The energy was electrifying. An incredible performance.

Thank you so much for uploading this. He sounded magnificent even as he aged older. I miss him.

R.I.P Gary Brooker ㅠㅠ

Wow! That was a wonderful experience!

Thanks for posting this. A Classic song. Real music.

A fabulous song by Procol Harum. A full orchestra! Just great! The guitar sole in the middle of that orchestration was amazing!

Absolutely amazing!

One if not the first 45rpms I bought from our local 5 and 10 cents store. 55 years later I still can't get enough.

My favorite by you guys, but of course there were many 💕💕 RIP Gary!

These CLASSICAL BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECES OF MUSIC Our parents thought ROCK WAS DISGUSTING in those Days but look today as MUSIC HAS TRULY DIED CHILDREN AND YOUNG KIDS OF TODAY HAVE NO NO IMAGINATION THEY LIVE THEIR WORLD ON A DUMMY BOX ( THE COMPUTER ) as these people thought up these LYRICS ALL ON THEIR OWN!! What we have lost can NEVER TRULY BE REGAINED OR REPLACED! I GREW IN A WONDERFUL TIME OF THE ARTS IT WAS TRULY THE END OF THE OLD WORLD!!

I was there when this was recorded. 1972, I think, at the Jubilee Auditorium in Edmonton, AB. We were on the balcony, and the sound was incredible, Seats plush & comfy. A friend had just moved to England to play music. He was stunned that nothing was happening in London, and PC was recording with the ESO. I also knew some of the members of the symphony! Great night!

Watched as a kid on PBS. So F'n powerful. Trower ripped into his solo with rage and purpose. Blew my young mind, and still does 60 years later.

So good.

I'm 60 now and this Tune. Now a Classic still captivates me. One of my all time favorites

I love this. I've been a fan since the beginning. RIP Gary Brooker.

Magnificent!!! ❤

What a Majestic song.

Epic! Thanks for sharing this.

More please! (same message basically as the audience in Edmonton on the night)

Never gets old

I was at this concert. Both nights. It was awesome! Thanks for sharing this. Amazing that you have this performance. May Gary Brooker rest in peace. Cheers! ✌️

The best version of this

Miss You,GB&PH very much ❤!

I never get tired of the Classic. We had some great music back in the late 60s and 70s. We miss you Gary.

Wow the orchestra is amazing the song was perfectly performed the singer is awesome more please this a true classic this is great thanks for the post

Now that's what is called jammin'. Thanks for posting, I always wanted to see the orchestra behind the song.

FANTASTIC

cette musique écrite par GARY, fantastique !!

Sometimes a classic is born out of an original - I grew up on this version and didn’t even know until 3 years ago there was an original without the orchestra. The orchestra adds so much to this and turned the song into an instant classic hit. I don’t know who scored it, but they NAILED it.

Would have LOVED to have been there for the original recording so many years ago. Saw P.C. about 15 years ago at Ontario place. Not the same without an orchastra, but still damn good. But, this is the next best thing to being there.

Great Music !

BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL!!!

Haven't seen this video yet. Simply outstanding.

I've always loved this song. RIP Gary B..

I was super lucky to be a kid when this stuff came out. So, i did the proper thing and bought the stereo of my dreams made in 1978 to play this music on.

Wow. Beautiful.

Thank you for sharing gems with us! 🤘

astounding

WHAAAT? 😮 I did not know Gary had passed away. If it wasn't for RU-vid I wouldn;t know hardly ANY news anymore because regular news always talks about the same worn-out people that the USA never looks beyond. A very great singing voice had Gary.😔

My all time fav song

Mamma mia ….bestial …genial.

A stellar performance.

Wow that was good that was powerful thank you

Wow! What can be said? Masterfully written and performed by one and all.

Gary Booker RIP

BEBÊ LINDO! MARAVILHA DE MELODIA E VOZ. 🌹🌹🇧🇷🔰💚💛💙🤍👄👄

Back again, 14 April 2024. Thanks again.

What a great job, wow !!!!!!

Brooker is an immortal!

I Love his voice

This song was great 👍👍👍 . But wow even greater 😂😂😂❤❤❤

Bought this album when it first came out, I think I paid $2.98 for it. Bought it at the original Kohl's store before it turned in to a national chain, would play this over and over on my Panasonic stereo as loud as I could, I'm 68 now, what an amazing album, still have it in my collection

Thanks

It's a classic. Music has now lost bands like this

What a great performance

Speechless...

Maturing nicely.

History a. Maze to unwind

Hell Hell 🖤🖤🖤 👌👌👌 69 first time Live is hell of music complexity awesome

Absolutely breathing taking

Gary..RIP.grande...

The best of the best

The lead trumpet player is great.

got a souvenier from london......

Procul Harem was one of a Handfull ( one hand) of British Musical Ensembles populated by the finest Musicians ever to require concentration of thought to participate and create literary value in actual high brow story. Their tales were not for head banging idiots. I was able to borrow the French Pressing of the first Lp in ? 1966. When one noticed the “ WORDS KEITH REID” on each Cover and how respectfully they always acknowledged this Lyricist. It was something they alone choose to do. This man was a genius capable of elevating an art form of story. When Ringo Starr asked which song was most definitive of his Bands Generation he stated instantly (A Whiter Shade of Pale) insinuating nothing the Beatles had created was comparable. Gary Brooker participant in the honoring of almost every Musician awarded or passed was so highly respected by his peers he was the unequalled Statesman until his passing. One could write so much about these fellows Mathew Fisher , Robin Trower. A Salty Dog who else could have pulled that one off. God Bless them standing and in Heaven.

The Live version is so much full than the studio version, for sure... I always wanted to hear the studio version, and just did.. It is not like this.... Thank you, Procol Harum -Beyond All Things- for this beautiful music---ALL of IT !!!!

That organ is badass!

tenia 17 años, añps 72, en chile, recorriamos la region del bio bio, con un tocacintas escuchando una y otra vez esta musica reveladora, esperanzadora, sin saber una gota de ingles, pero percibiendo un buen sentimiento en ella, ahora gracias al traductor se , que el conquistador revela de cuerpo entero la tragedia y el frenesi de ir a tierras extrañas y avanzar estoico por la vida, luchando y triunfando contra todo lo que trate de detenerte de tu cometido noble.

I Heard this fantastic jewel for the first time in 1972, I was 15

Gives Standing O new meaning

Thanks for that memory

goosebumps

Omg that was so good.

Say what you will about the greatest guitar players ever but how many can play with an entire orchestra without overpowering them or themselves being overpowered.
