Procol Harum – Still There’ll Be More (2018) [3DVD]

222 views

Of the legendary bands Great Britain birthed during the 1960s, none sound remotely like Procol Harum. From their emergence with the single version of "A Whiter Shade of Pale" months before the world heard the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, they were prog before prog, psychedelic before the world knew what it was, and a rocking R&B outfit. Their signature sound was a tense, often sublime balance of singer Gary Brooker's piano and dark, soul-drenched singing of Keith Reid's elliptical lyrics, Matthew Fisher's alternately haunted and fearsome organ, B.J. Wilson's drumming and -- at least through 1971's brilliant Broken Barricades -- the emergent electric blues guitar playing of Robin Trower. The weave of classical, pop, prog, and R&B was full of a dramatic tension, perverse, often black humor, biting commentary, history, and poetry. It exerted its influence on bands from the Who (Tommy) to Queen (A Night at the Opera) and beyond. Other tracks, including "A Salty Dog," "Whiskey Train," "Simple Sister," and "Conquistador," are also regarded as iconic.

England's Esoteric Recordings tells the band's story properly for the first time in this deluxe, 50th anniversary eight-disc box set that compiles studio recordings and live performances. It is comprised of five audio discs and three DVDs
