Impressions: the band was tight and energetic. Everybody's looking fit and healthy. Keith was in attendance, and made himself available to fans after the show. He was smiling. At least two Procol wives were also in attendance - Franky (Brooker) and Carol (Fisher). The crowd was very enthusiastic. Spontaneous standing ovation for A Salty Dog and several other songs. More to follow. Tired. Will sleep well. Saw Procol again for the first time in 8 years!
