PROCOL HARUM: MISSING PERSONS, LONDON 20 JULY 2007, PREMIER PERFORMANCE OF THIS SONG
In grateful memory to Gary Brooker (1945 2022) Procol Harum: MISSING PERSONS, 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 The last encore for the remarkable Anniversary Concert in London. Written within a fortnight before this premier performance. This song under construction appeared on several setlists mainly in the Netherlands in the same year. The first official release was on the Procol Harum EP with the same title, released in May 2021. 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
