Gary Brooker's Birthday Party, and the ensuing concert

Roland from BtP conversing with Procol's Geoff Dunn. The band and crew – our guests – sat dispersedly among the fans,
which made for a very nice happy atmosphere for everyone

Eberhard Schoener and Gary Brooker embrace at the end of the former's touching and reverent tribute to the latter

Roland delivering his own encomium, and making a rather strange face in the process. Jens rests his black eyes in the background

The opening bars of 'Happy Birthday to You', which was sung twice to BtP's best impersonation of a Bavarian backing

We jump ahead to the following day's concert: John Magner (in a brief but very welcome return to Procol crewing) tunes Geoff's guitar.
The camera-shake makes this look like a mid-show action-shot: and of course JM is a very capable guitar player in his own right

:Later the guitar is pictured in its proprietor's hands
