Recorded on 18th November 1971 at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium in Edmonton, Canada, “Live In Concert With The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra” captured a truly magical performance by a Procol Harum lineup featuring Gary Brooker (vocals, piano), B.J. Wilson (drums), Chris Copping (organ and harpsichord), Alan Cartwright (bass) and Dave Ball (guitar), the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and the Da Camera Singers.
Classic Procol Harum material such as “Conquistador,” “Whaling Stories,” “A Salty Dog” and the epic suite “In Held ‘Twas In I” were all beautifully arranged by Gary Brooker and the resulting album was one of Procol’s most successful, spawning a hit single in “Conquistador.” It remains one of the finest collaborations between a Rock band, orchestra and choir.
This new edition LP version of “Live In Concert With The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra” has been cut at Abbey Road Studios.
