Most of the
Palers' Band gathers, at the end of the Saturday afternoon section
of the 'Echoes in the Night' celebrations,
for a group photograph after playing an extended A Whiter Shade
of Pale with a fresh-ish
minor-key introduction and a fine guitar solo.
After this, it was 'back on the bus' to hear Procol Harum give their
Saturday evening concert with chorus and orchestra
Roland, Poul, and
Jonas looking their very best: there had been contradictory discussion on the band's
mailing-list about what should be worn for the performances. Roland,
however,
was not to be seen on stage in this absurd regalia. He wore the coat (Gary
Brooker's, from the 1970s) only for the last scheduled number of the night, to advertise its
imminent sale on eBay
