'As with elephants ...'

Procol Harum and Eight Days a Week


Elsewhere at 'Beyond the Pale' Gary Brooker remembers that Procol Harum never played Lennon / McCartney's Eight Days a Week live.

This is contradicted in the Procol's Ninth tour programme (full text here) where Chris Briggs writes of

... Eight Days a Week, the Lennon–McCartney classic, and trick-question portion of their encore ...

 

Sam Cameron mailed BtP the following observations:

... it was done as a cod encore as in, 'Here's one from the sixties' so that people would expect AWSoP and be surprised ...

As with elephants, there should be a proverb or saying about the memories of musicians
