non-album tracks

The concert was overcrowded – so much so that Jens could not even buy a beer! – and the band sounds 'different, not in a bad way': this could be due to any one of a number of local factors, in addition to the line-up change. Josh Phillips had a good show.

New song

Gary Brooker says he assumes that the words of the Trower / Reid Victims of the Fury are the same as those of the Brooker / Reid Victims of the Fury as played tonight: he hasn't heard both. He confirms that this is not a new piece of Procol writing, but a song that has been 'sitting around' for 24 years or so. Jens confirms that it sounds very much a Procol Harum song, perhaps in the vein of An Old English Dream when we first heard that at Croydon. Later GB played this to Roland in his studio: it's a slow, soulful song with a chorus slightly reminiscent of Without a Doubt: it's certainly nothing like the Trower setting of the same words.
