PROCOL HARUM: SISTER MARY, LONDON 20 JULY 2007, PREMIER PERFORMANCE OF THIS SONG ( REMASTERED)
In grateful memory to Gary Brooker (1945 2022) Procol Harum: Sister Mary, 40th Anniversary Concert, London, St. Johns, Smith Square, 20 July 2007. Premier performance of this song. Line up: Gary Brooker voc, piano Geoff Whitehorn guitar, voc Matt Pegg bass, voc Josh Phillips organ, synth Geoff Dunn drums Originally recorded during the production of Procols album THE WELLS ON FIRE (2003), Sister Mary was not included on the final CD. The first official release was on the Procol Harum download album MMX (15 tracks recorded on tour 2010, 2011) made available through BTP, later on the INSIDE, OUTSIDE compilation album (2014). The song underwent several changes in the years after the London show. Nevertheless, none of the versions I heard in later recordings achieved the same intensity as this one, even with its various little imperfections. Special thanks to Lars and Stefan for their invaluable
