Poor taste but very funny.

RIP though, a great singer-songwriter.

 

[Icy Gull]

Nooo

Genuinely gutted to hear that. Loved Procol Harum

RIP Gary

 

[Lower West Stander]

Saw him about 4 years ago at Bridgewater Hall in Manchester.

He was absolutely brilliant. Funny, dry wit and great music.

RIP.

Saw Procol Harum at The Dome, during the 'Exotic birds and fruit' tour. Robin Trower was the guitarist. They were pretty good.

RIP Gary,
Whiter Shade of Pale was the most iconic record of the 1967 Summer of Love.
Oh happy days, I still can’t believe it was 55 years ago.
What a fantastic time it was to be 19.

Saw Procol Harum at The Dome, doing the 'Exotic birds and fruit' tour. Robin Trower was the guitarist. They were pretty good.

I was there too. Early 70s. Calling [MENTION=37530]monty uk[/MENTION]

Of those I saw: Procul Harem, Argent, Groundhogs, Genesis (Selling England tour) and Steve Hillage. I had no interest in any of the others, apart from Bowie and Doctors of M.

Other ones to add are: Roxy Music (with Eno), Nils Lofgren/Tom Petty (that was a cracking gig), Dory Previn (that wasn't) and Graham Parker & the Rumour. I'm sure there are some I've forgotten

I'll take the DSOTM debut because I clearly remember the Azimuth thingummy not working. Plus
Joan Armour Plating
Supertramp
Nazareth
ELP
and my first ever gig - King Crimson on the Islands tour.

I'll chuck in
Led Zep
Queen
Tull
Steve Earle
Leonard Cohen
Steeleye Span
Fairport Convention

Most of those. Great times.
But not Deep Purple - saw them at the Big Apple.

So poignant just 2 weeks after his, and my fellow friend, record producer, promoter, A&R man, Rockfield legend - Gordon Sutherland. Peace to you both.
