PROCOL HARUM: THE KING OF HEARTS, CROYDON, FAIRFIELD HALL, 25 MAY 2002 (REMASTERED)

In grateful memory to Gary Brooker (1945 - 2022) "The King Of Hearts" originally was released on Procol Harum's THE PRODIGAL STRANGER (1991) album . This live version may have some minor flaws, but the overall atmosphere and Matthew Fisher's majestic organ more than make up for it. This recording shows Gary Brooker unmistakably with a massive cold. The background was that the concert the previous evening(Opera House, Newcastle-upon-Tyne) had to be cancelled for health reasons. However, the concert in Croydon was accompanied by a Procol Harum Fan Convention. Passionate supporters of the band from all over Europe, the USA and South America had travelled to meet and see the band's performance, as well as to show their own talents in the Palers Band. It was probably against this background that Gary Brooker overcame his massive vocal limitations to play this gig in order not to disappoint his most loyal fans. The setlist was adapted to the vocal possibilities, therefore perhaps more varied than expected. I am sure that despite the special vocal flavour, not even one listener left the hall disappointed. Line up: Gary Brooker - piano Matthew Fisher - organ Geoff Whitehorn - guitar Matt Pegg - bass Mark Brzezicki - drums
