Saga, Copenhagen, Denmark
30 January 1992
Bronze, Brooker, Brzezicki, Fisher, Whitehorn
Jan Pedersen writes to BtP (February 2010)
from Aakirkeby in Denmark: 'Surprisingly I find no records of the Procol
Harum-concert Thursday 30 January 1992 in Copenhagen. I have some
articles about the concert and even an old ticket, so I am quite sure of the
date and also the venue, which was the Saga (an old cinema that was used as
a concert-house in the '80s and '90s in Copenhagen). Now the place is knocked
down and totally rebuilt, which reminds me of something Gary Brooker said from
the stage that evening: "It's been many moons since Procol Harum last've
been to Copenhagen. They had probably not built this place last time we
were here [not quite true, the since building was erected in 1941]: and they'll've
probably knocked it down next time we come around!" And that became true,
because the new building lying there now is from 1999! The setlist
probably was:
'Conquistador
Bringing Home the Bacon
Shine on Brightly
Homburg
The Truth Won't Fade Away [not Holding On]
Pandora's Box
One More Time
Grand Hotel
Man with a Mission
The Devil Came from Kansas
The King of Hearts
A Salty Dog
Whaling Stories
All Our Dreams are Sold
A Whiter Shade of Pale (only two verses)
Little Queenie
Repent Walpurgis
'I'm not 100% sure of this, but the only
insecurities is about Holding On. In other setlists from the same period,
they usually did The Truth Won't Fade Away, but to my recollection it was
Holding On as the fifth song. I'm sure they didn't do Whisky Train
that
evening, and that AWSoP delivered with only two verses. Probably they cut
down a bit on the time, because there was a half an hour delayment from the
beginning, as I recall it. Furthermore I think the concert 'fake-ended'
after Whaling Stories, and that the rest was encores.'
Niels-Erik Mortensen adds, 'The setlist ... is nearly correct. The
actual list can be seen
here. Jan Pedersen describes himself as "insecure" about Holding
On – and right he is. That night, Procol played The Truth Won´t
Fade Away ...
Nevertheless, he might be excused – right now (12 February 2010) his
town is being buried in snow again, and that might obscure even the
brightest memory a bit.'
