Customer Reviews of Procol Harum - Live in Copenhagen

Almost Perfection
The "almost" I am speaking of is the lack of enthusiasm in general. (The audience and the band). It's not really that noticable and might just be the way it was recorded... almost "through the board" type of recording. I don't think Procol Harum has to jump around like Mick Jagger... but there is a slight lack of movemnet in the DVD. Just a little stiff. I also agree that with another reviewer that I wish Gary Brooker would play a real piano. And of course B.J. Wilson's drumming is always missed but Mark B. does a great job. That aside...great choices of songs great performances and a very clear recording. This DVD makes me want all the Procol Harum remastered CD's and reminds me how GREAT this band is. Also...Just to get a glimpse of Keith Reid at the end is almost worth the price. Highly recommended DVD.

Quite Rightly , Very Exciting!!!
I have seen Procol many times over the years. From their early Filmore east concerts to their most recent shows in NYC. I must say , This is the best I have heard them on a "Live" recording since Robin Trower left the band in 1971.The band is tight and the dynamics are like that of vintage Procol Harum . Geoff Whitehorn plays with the emotion and feel remenisent of Robin Trower(who is 10's in my book) ,while still using his own style and technics. BJ.is a hard act to follow and I miss his playing very much . I give Mark Brezicki alot of credit for keeping in BJ's style but also using his own orginality . Matt Pegg does some very nice licks and blends in well also . As for Mr. Brooker and Mr. Fisher ,It's always great to see these to Pros working together! Procol Harum is truly a great band ,and with out a doubt an "orginal" band . Most of all if you are a real Procol fan this DVD is a MUST HAVE! THX.GC.

all's well that ends
there are no glaring mistakes...the digital sound is superb....the band looks right and gary's voice is sharp as ever....to see matthew's spiderlike fingers up close on the keyboard is a real treat...the songs run the spectrum from the first to last releases...grand hotel, exotic fruits, and the first lp have the most play with home coming in last...whitehorn's guitar's tone is as poignant as trowers, but unfortunately as has been true since trower left, the leads cannot be matched..as a matter of fact, in memorial drive, piggy pig pig, and repent walpurgis it's just as well the guitar playing gets drowned out....on the other hand, on those songs where trower's leads aren't permanently sketched, whitehorn shines, especially on as strong as sampson...pegg's bass playing blends in like a good umpire at a baseball game.....the drumming is much better than on the last orchestral release, with little overplay...maybe a handful of times bj's licks are missed, but all in all a good effort this time....matthew keeps his gameface throughout, cracking the slightest smile at the end of the concert...his playing is flawless, using his right hand mostly for lead and left hand on the controls...and gary does a masterful job(even with lyric notes), as if this was one for the recordbooks...a permanent illustration of what this band has meant for 35 years....salty dog and grand hotel take honors, with beyond the pale as most fun..bj's thunder was absent..trower's lightning gone...but even so, a mammoth task was accomplished in denmark 2001...
