PROCOL HARUM WHITER SHADE OF PALE LIVE DENMARK(2006) - A most incredible moving emotional experience 

No shame for crying for a masterpiece.

John Lennon once said that this was the best song ever written.

I'm an old man and I've lost a lot of steps along the way , so how is it possible that this man sounds 10,000 times better than when he was young ? 😢

The choir totally lifts this version through the roof...

I’m 66 my dads 89 and we both cry together listening to this masterpiece ❤

This has to be what music in Heaven sounds like!

to me, this is best version ever with the orchestra.

I heard that song, when I was eight years old, and it stopped me in my tracks. I'm an old woman now and it still takes my breath away. One of the finest songs ever written.

I'm 75 and remember when it first came out! Very emotional I love it!

In my lifetime one of the most majestic performances I have ever heard.😂❤❤❤❤❤❤

I am 80 AND this song STILL brings tears to my eyes…

I'm 63 and have listened to this song all my life. It never gets old. I shed a tear when I heard Gary had passed this year. A true artist. RIP you wonderful soul.

You can't think of "Whiter Shade" without hearing the Hammond organ. And you can't think about the Hammond organ without hearing "Whiter Shade". The two are eternally linked together. There can't be one without the other.

We are all on this rock together. Doesn't matter what side of an imaginary border you live on, we all can enjoy great music.

I'm 60 and I still wonder why. There were so many deep songs that came out during this time what a treasure!!!!

Witnessing that performance is the blessing of a lifetime.

Harry, I'm 71 and if you want to know what the 60's were like, this song makes you feel the magic and the purity of that time, revealing it through your heart and soul! You said like it transported you back in time, exactly! The essence is of this song is pure, true and authentic by raising feelings of nostalgia and longing for a spiritual awareness even if it was before your time here on earth.

His voice is just as good as the original. Back in 1972 this song we chose in our wedding to walk down 'aisle' in gorgeous garden wedding in an auntie's house in Rose Park, Adelaide, Australia. Special song for me and enhanced with orchestral background. Think it is the organ that gives this song life and meaning.

I'm 71 years old and been listening to this song since it first came out and this is the best version I've heard. The song was just screaming for an orchestra. Kind of like church, isn't it!

Not to many times when a song is perfection. This is one of those times. It's absolutely beautiful and perfection.

Cry on brother.... I'm 67 and have listened to this song at least 1000 times since 1967. Gary Brooker's voice only got better over forty years. How anyone cannot consider this a "Top 10" of all time live performances is beyond me (and I'm including Queen at Live Aid)

I will never tire of this absolutely great, beautiful song. Never!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that's reduced to tears by this. Gary Brooker's voice is incredible.

Nice to see our music last and be appreciated by younger listeners.

One of the most beautiful performances you’ll ever see!!

This is such an overwhelming performance. Stunning, too much to handle. Bravo!! RIP Gary.

In 1967, the first time I heard this, a week after my mother passed, I was 14 yrs old. I knew it would be in my heart and my soul til I was very, very old. At least one time in my life I was right. Thanks Harri. ❤️‍🔥

RIP Gary. We miss you so badly. You never lost your voice ever. God Bless and RIP.

That organ line goes right into your soul. Even for me as a little kid in 1967.

I'm 67 years old and have loved this song since it was first released. I was lucky enough to see them live a number of times over the decades. The last time was unexpected. My girlfriend of the time worked for a corporation with front row seats at a somewhat close venue. She told me she had tickets to see Jethro Tull for the next weekend. I didn't ask who would open for them and only found out once at the venue and halfway to our seats when I heard a couple telling their son who looked about 12 years old how he would love Procol Harum. As much as I love Tull I was more than twice as excited to have the chance to see Procol Harum again. That was in 1993 and Gary Brooker still sounded as good as he did when the song was first released, and still sounded fantastic in 2006. He was an incredibly talented man.

This is even better than the original.

RIP Gary Brooker. Thank you for blessing us with this amazing performance. There is just something so special about this song, it emotionally touches so many people and tears start to flow. It's beyond words.

I love to watch old bands nail it decades later.

The world weeps for the passing of the great Gary Brooker. He without a doubt was one of the foundation stones of rock & roll. Rest in peace.

I'm 65 and grew up with bands like this but this song is special. Love your reaction and grateful that you let it play.

Nothing but gratitude and sheer joy for that song and his Voice since I was 20 yrs and living in London...now 78 and still listening. Love your total immersion in this performance...special!

Tears, I'm 56 years old, die hard Beatles fan, this may be the best , loss for words

Jesus Brooker's vocals are absolutely stunning. You got it right, Harri, his voice is like it's in a time capsule. So transplendent.

Truly is the most beautiful song live, ever!

RIP, Gary Brooker, you co-wrote a timeless masterpiece. “A Whiter Shade of Pale" has been named Britain's most-played song in public places in the past 75 years!

BACH would be impressed for sure

I watch this at least once a week because my soul needs something this beautiful.

This version is just sublime and I won't lie gave me a lump in my throat . The intro I think is more or less the Bach piece that whiter shade of pale is based on and when Gary's piano comes in it just sent chills down my spine .The choir towards the end really lifts the song ,I've been watching this video for years and I'm glad it's getting the recognition it deserves because it's an incredible rendition of an already all time great song

So many years later and his voice is better than ever. RIP sir!

This is too emotional. He's blessed with an amazing voice. These are the kinds of music I grew up on. Unbelievable!!!!

brings tears to my eyes every damn time. one of the best songs and performances ever

This song wont let you forget it even years later.it stays with you and all those memories throughout those wonderful years

At age 82, Whiter Shade of Pale came into my life and will aways be my most favorite piece of music. It takes me away!!!!

One thing I really appreciate about Harri , is his genuine love of music. When Harri almost choked up, I almost choked up too. 😥 Been listening to Whiter Shade of Pale for years and the lead singer made this version on par with the original recording. Raw and True talent.

The voice,that organ,those drums,that orchestra,that choir....Tears of joy are the correct response❣👊

The older I get, the more I love this song!💜💜💜

Let those tears flow, my man! The pristine beauty of this arrangement pulls them right out of your eyeballs!

Chills still after hearing this song for 55 years.

Absolute masterpiece of a song and such a heart felt performance. Gary's voice just keeps getting better with age

Man, thats just the right emotion for this absolute masterpiece

Absolutely incredible. The entire band has aged like fine wine, getting even better with time.

This is truly one of the greatest songs ever written, it transforms time and genre without loosing anything in translation. I am amazed every time I hear it.

“…her face at first just ghostly, turned a whiter shade of pale”. I mean, seriously, come on! EASILY one of the best lines ever written. And this performance…is arguably one of the best live performances of any song, ever. I’ll even go so far as to say it’s epic!

I don't have the words to describe how absolutely brilliant and gorgeous this song is. Fucking marvelous mwah

I love the way they add one layer after another. Best arrangement of this song ever.

Procol Harum was one of the most iconic bands from the late 60s and 70s and I should know I was there it was a great time to be alive

Gary Brooker - a true musical genius. Note the way he looks to the orchestra before he starts to sing.

My brother was a musician. At his funeral, we played this. There wasn't a dry in the house. It was his favorite song😊

I think Gary Brooker's voice sounds better at 60.

They are not "rock stars", they are true musicians. Splendid rendition. Gary Brooker is the master. He can sing to me anytime.

I was a teen in the sixties. This was the first song I'd play with when I ran upon a jutebox. Indeed it was a magical Era.

Magic. It has to be magic because it’s the only explanation that fits.

Try "Conquistador' from the same event. Unbelievable.

Undoubtedly one of the best songs of the past CENTURY!!! Pure 60's emotion . . . It captures the unique time and space of a newfound consciousness . . . 🙏🏻

This song made me cry as a very young man...

Frederick Nietzsche "Without music, life would be a mistake"

It's a pleasure to watch a true music lover listen to great music.

Possibly the best song ever written. John Lennon was listening to it over and over in his rolls in 67.

One of the best songs ever wrote timeless

Hearing that vocal chorus when it starts to swell in the background grabs me every time! The original recording has been a favorite of mine since it first came out...but this...THIS...is extraordinary! Gary's vocals, the band, the orchestra, the chorus...and of course, that iconic Hammond organ! So delighted the performance was taped so we can watch, listen and experience this masterpiece over and over! Thank you Harri, for acting on your subscriber's request!👍👍👍

One of the best songs of all time. You're right, my generation was truly lucky.

This song always brings me to tears. But the end of the song when the horns come in is so celebratory as though this is what it is going to feel like when my soul returns to God and Jesus. On earth, people may cry at my passing but in heaven they will be rejoicing my arrival.

In 1972, Procol Harum recorded the first album of a rock band with a symphony orchestra in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. In '92 I was working in a Mexican restaurant in Edmonton and it was my first night closing the kitchen alone. I was waiting for midnight when I could close up, and I heard 'Conquistador' coming from the bar area. I had never heard a bar band cover this song and had to see who it was, so I poked my head from the kitchen and there was a bunch of people on stage in tuxedos, some with jeans from the waist down and tails above. It was the twentieth anniversary of the original concert and they were back in town for a repeat performance and came to my bar afterwards to party. It was an amazing night.

A new masterpiece of an old masterpiece

I'm glad Gary was able to record this version. This is a gift to the universe.

RIP Gary Brooker.What a voice.

…iconic beautiful song.A Voice made in heaven. Thanks Gary..

I love music so much. It regularly makes my eyes sweat.

I heard Procol Harum and Gary Brooker perform live in 1973. This performance is even better than their performance back then. Such a rich voice and the Danish National Symphony Orchestra was simply perfect. I love your reactions. It is so wonderful to see music stir your soul like it does. I'm also a huge Beatles fan (Saw The Beatles live in 1966) and I enjoy your Beatles reactions too. Rock on Brother Harri. Peace ✌

The original is sublime...yet leaves you thirsty. This one...It quenches the thirst endlessly!!!

I was a teen there in England when this came out and it affected everyone of my generation. It was before the Beatles really took off too. Yes. We all felt it was ecstatic and I never knew what the words were then, but it did not matter. We sat on a cliff one night at midnight and this was playing from a party behind us, and I have never forgotten how that felt. It took us all to some heights of emotion that we had never felt before. Yes WE CRIED too... and I still feel that now 50+ years later.

When the choir kicks in, it was all over for me.

I saw that concert in 2006 live.... I enjoyed every second ❤

The fifties, sixties and seventies were the time of youth and experimentation. Nobody had a clue what these songs were about when hearing the words but they told the world what we were feeling.

Also fighting the tears every time I hear it. The same when I hear God only knows.

I grew up surrounded by music but never mastered an instrument. I’m always amazed that so many people can come together with their instruments and make something that sounds so damn beautiful. Music is life.

I wish I was there.

RIP Gary, thank you for your most AMAZING contribution to what makes this world beautiful, even when the veils of war blot out the sun...

In a way, this is a love song. It encapsulates the pain and the pleasure of love. And it shows a window on love's purity. Emotional to hear, almost too emotional. The years don't matter, it's immortal. Thank you, Procol Harum!

I am always overwhelmed by the beauty of this song and especially this performance.

That's the Danish National Symphony Orchestra. At some point, you might want to react to them Harri. Specifically their rendition of "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly". It's one of the top picks for reactions and I've seen several reactors brought to tears by it as well! It's that moving of a performance! Their rendition of "Once Upon A Time In The West" is a powerful one too.

Oh my God his voice never changed

In the late 60's to 70, there were some tunes that had no antecedent ...to wit.... Whiter Shade of Pale, Crystal Blue Persuasion, Alright Now, Green Eyed Lady and Spirit in the Sky to name a few. What a flowering of musical genius and what a great time to have been alive...

I am 67 Harry and I cannot tell you where this song takes me emotionally. What I do know is that the 60s were the most beautiful times, especially for me, living in London when it was the most wonderful place to live.

Gives you goosebumps, RIP to such a wonderful vocalist and musician
