Procol Harum - The Truth Won't Fade Away - San Francisco 1991 скачать видео бесплатно

Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco, October 3, 1991.

2012 brings an early "new testament" show with a brilliantly-playing Matthew Fisher, a seldom heard guitarist (Tim Renwick) and a new Procol Harum band, ready for the decades that would follow, here on my channel!

Fourth number: a track co-composed by Matthew Fisher and Gary Brooker, with, as usual, words by Keith Reid, originally recorded on the then new "The Prodigal Stranger" album (1991).

Listen to that organ after the third verse! Wow!

On the original record -and often live- Matthew Fisher played a synth that resembled a guitar for the backing part, here I'm not sure, I think he's playing a synth as well, but the result is quite less refined and actually sounds a bit like when this song was performed without Fisher. A few months later (starting with the letterman show, at the end of 1991) he started to play the same sound he had used on the record but had to renounce to most of the wild Hammond part you can hear here. This particular take is easily the one with the best Hammond playing in my collection.

Interesting to hear the approach of Tim Renwick to soloing this song, very different from the one adopted by Whitehorn. Keep in mind that on the original recording there was no guitar solo.

The following year an additional, quite unusual, "sing along" section was added, still missing on this version.
