Amazon.co.uk Review
Procol Harum: Live at the Union Chapel is a record of the final performance of the band's 2003 world tour, taped on December 12 before a small London crowd. The venue was an inspired choice. As a performance space, the Gothic church is at once both intimate and grand, a perfect mirror for the band's odd but cogent mix of bar-band boogie and classically tinged prog rock. The 22-song concert includes eight selections from The Well's on Fire, Procol Harum's 2003 studio album. Most of the newer songs are strong (particularly "The Question" and "An Old English Dream"), and the band, having honed its arrangements to a T, does an exceptional job of blending its recent music with its older material. Singer-pianist Gary Brooker and organist Matthew Fisher, both original members, lead the way through time-honored favorites like "Homburg", "Conquistador" and their immortal 1967 hit "A Whiter Shade of Pale".

The DVD's spacious but never murky 5.1 surround mix puts you right in the church with the audience. As usual, the DTS tracks surpass the Dolby Digital soundtrack, but with this disc the DTS format proves especially critical to an appreciation of the Union Chapel's gorgeous acoustics. ----Michael Mikesell

5.0 out of 5 stars tripping the light fandango, 28 Oct 2004
i was lucky enough to attend this concert myself in december 2003
the dvd captures the atmosphere and ambience of that night perfectly, procol played a mixture of older classics and newer material, as for the dvd the sound quality and imagery is perfect, and watching this is almost like being there, the only weakness is the comments from the bar section of the dvd, i would have thought that some rehearsal footage or a interview with each band member would have filled this space better. 5 stars is deserved because the quality of the concert, the performance camera work and sound make bettering this almost impossible. we are now in a period where a concert usually contains, 500 lights a firework display backing singers and backing tapes, its a refreshing change to see a quality band entertaining the audience without any artificial additives

5.0 out of 5 stars Like an old wine ..., 12 April 2005
By Mr. Thomas Thatcher "Tom Thatcher" (Salisbury, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As you may expect from Messrs Brooker and Co., a quality offering, well recorded and with beautiful acoustics. Procol trawl through some classics and Gary still gets the notes, while newer songs are surprisingly good. This band never produced anything but music and playing of the highest order and that is what you get here. There are over 20 songs and once again Keith Reid's odd words can send a shiver down the spine, as in Salty Dog.

Excellent new songs from the Well's On Fire showcase the excellent guiatar of Geoff Whitehorn, and Robin Trower himself would be proud of Whiskey Train.

But how good is Gary Brooker? That voice, that style - irreplacable.

Excellent value and an evening well-spent. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars procol harum scare um, 24 Dec 2007
By Mr. Raymond Saint "cabaray" (united kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This band has stood the test of time, the vocals are still as good as the original sound but the musicianship is even better than the original. The mix of old songs and new met to give a very pleasurable experience, the sound quality and production were also first class. Top act can't wait to see them live if they do the rounds again.
