The band in full cry at Spodek ... Matthew Fisher's jacket catches the light
Mirek writes, 'Sorry for not high resolution and poor quality of some of them. It is pity the photos from the concert are such poor but I hope they give you any appreciation about the concert.'

A press report on the Hippie Legend that is Gary Brooker and his band
Two more press notices. Directly above the Procol review from Newsweek; right is from Wprost (very popular weekly) and further above is from Gazeta Wyborcza (the biggest daily in Poland).
Read Procol reviews at ONET (the biggest Polish website) and at Dziennik Zachodni (the biggest daily on Slask region)
See also 19 June's online version of Gazeta Wyborcza, the biggest Polish daily, containing one big page about Procol Harum by Wojciech Mann, the well-known TV presenter, who also works in Polish radio 3, which played AWSoP twice in one morning. See also here for a less-than favourable gig report, however!
