Saw them in 1972. They were awesome. Leo Kottke opened for them. He was fantastic as usual. It was great when he came out and played with them for an encore. Crazy!
They are playing here in Seattle this coming Sunday. They are opening for YES! I should go see them both for old times sake. Love Brooker!!

Reminds me that evenpretentious rock groups of the era - on which I was strongly hooked at the time - could rock out. Wasn't Homburg another Procol Harum song that rocked? Play that too. And in the same vein, Yours is No Disgrace (by Yes). Thanks Bill!

I remember seeing them play in a high school gym... maybe '74? They were a mess and could hardly play. Very sad. I saw Dickie Betts the same year and the same thing. Double sad.
 

I saw you in 74 and you were a mess too...!
(Just kidding!)

PS
Despite great drums and guitar,
90% of Harum was and is Brooker's voice!

Wow. I don't think I'd heard that one in close to 4 decades.  What a powerful song.

They wore Whiter Shade of Pale out.  Always one of my favorite bands, saw them in an ampitheatre one night in the early 70's. Excellent.
