Procol Harum : Millennium Concert

Keith Reid's message to the Band


Left, Gary declaims Keith's FAX at the soundcheck.

'I like rapping,' he declared afterwards. 'I've done a bit before, you know … Dead Man's Dream The Worm and the Tree.'

Right, the text itself

'Feel free to share it with the fans if you think they will be interested' said Keith.

Thanks to Franky Brooker for getting permission for BtP to exhibit this remarkable message.
