Live Albums By Procol Harum
Procol Harum are best known for their 1967 summer of love hit single, A Whiter Shade Of Pale which reached #1 in the UK and #5 in the USA. Led by vocalist Gary Brooker, they created an interesting combination of symphonic prog rock and blues rock. As they were forging new ground, I think of them as an art rock band.
It’s useful to see the timing of the studio albums before looking at the live albums in detail.
