Procol Harum - Whaling Stories // Denmark - 2006

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

Pailing well after sixteen days, a mammoth task was set

Sack the town, and rob the tower, and steal the alphabet

Close the door and bar the gate, but keep the windows clean

God's alive inside a movie! watch the silver screen!

Rum was served to all the traitors; pygmies held themselves in check

Bloodhounds nosed around the houses, down dark alleys sailors crept

Six bells struck, the pot was boiling - soup spilled out on passers-by

Angels mumbled incantations, closely watched by God on high

Lightning struck out - fire and brimstone! boiling oil and shrieking steam!

Darkness struck with molten fury, flashbulbs glorified the scene

Not a man who had a finger, not a man who could be seen

Nothing called (not name nor number) - echo stormed it's final scream

Daybreak washed with sands of gladness, rotting all it rotted clean

Windows peeped out on their neighbors, inside fireside bedsides gleam

Shalimar, the trumpets chorused, angels wholly all shall take

Those alive will meet the prophets, those at peace shall see their wake

Thank you for posting this PH masterpiece ... Amazing how Gary Brooker's voice sounds the same as it did almost 50 years ago ... "Those at peace shall see their wake ...."Peace,stephen

That's Geoff Whitehorn, not Trower. Of all of the versions of Procol I have seen, Geoff does the best job of keeping Robin's PH legacy alive.

Magnificent. In the mid to late '60s I saw them perform this at Fillmore West in SF., sans orchestra and choir, just the band. I'll never forget that at the end of this song there was no applause for about 5 seconds because the entire audience was just stunned into silence. Then came thunderous applause, not the usual whooping and hollering, just reverent applause. Never seen anything like it before or since.
