Procol Harum - Grand Hotel // Denmark - 2006

Procol Harum: Gary Brooker, Keith Reid, Matthew Fisher, Robin Trower...

Tonight we sleep on silken sheets

We drink fine wine and eat rare meats

On Carousel and gambling stake

Our fortunes speed, and dissipate.

It's candlelight and chandelier,

It's silver plate and crystal clear.

The nights we stay at Hotel Grand

Tonight we dine at Hotel Ritz.

(A golden dish with every wish).

It's mirrored walls, and velvet drapes,

Dry champagne, and bursting grapes.

Dover sole, and Oeufs Mornay,

Profiteroles and Peach Flambe,

The waiters dance on fingertips

The nights we dine at Hotel Ritz

One more toast to greet the morn

The wine and dine have danced till dawn

Where's my Continental Bride?

We'll Continental slip and slide

Early morning pinch and bite -

(These French girls always like to fight)

It's serenade and Sarabande,

The nights we stay at Hotel Grand

Les nuits qu'on passe a l'Hotel Grande.

The song that inspired Douglas Adams to create "Milliways, The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe"... and in fact, inspired him to begin writing the book that became "The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe" - the sequel to "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy". Douglas was a huge fan of Procol Harum and good friends with Gary Brooker.

The Violin starting at 2:58 played by the blond girl with the dark sunglasses. Never heard such a pure sound, very emotional

Gary Brooker sounds great. This band uses the symphony so well. Their songs are almost operatic. Cool band.
