Procol Harum

I saw them several times. The first time I saw them, Yes was the opening act, followed by King Crimson and Procol was the headliner.

I would have lived for that one! But I saw Crimson when Lark's Tongues came out and Trower was the back up with his new LP "Bridge of Sighs" and played a lot of "Twice Removed"!! Take me back!!!
 
All I can say is that if you like Procol Harum do a dedicated search for an album called "The Long Goodbye". It is a fabulous studio recording with full orchestra. I highly recommend it to all Procol Harum fans. :thmbsp::thmbsp:
 
Bummer, it looks like the latest remaster of their first album is still all mono. I know there's a cut of Homburg out there in stereo. It's on one of the box sets. I can't figure why they'd not update, at least where possible, their first album with stereo tracks. I think songs like whiter shade of pale are actually just fine in mono. But, Conquistador and others really could use a bigger sound stage.
I have this one and it pretty much fits the bill.

It is,MFP records (Music for Pleasure) A Salty Dog has Homberg in stereo. I have it and it sounds very good for that time period.
I have both Salty Dogs, MFP is a bit better SQ but they both could be better done IMO, as a lot back then could have.

I saw Crimson again at the Boston Music Hall in support of Starless and Bible Black. Recently I read that it was considered one of there best shows ever. I certainly would not doubt it.
