Procol Harum : Millennium Concert

"If we all start 'omm-ing' now it will happen"

BtP introduced its Millenium Concert poll way back on 9 January. And during six months and one day it collected 312 votes and 49 comments from the Palers. No doubt, the Palers are an optimistic crowd. And quite rightly so, it proved.

88% of the voters believed a concert in 2000 actually could happen.

The actual votes came like this:

We are sure the more pessimistic voters are delighted to have been proved wrong.

And here are some of the comments left on the vote message board:

• A friend of mine believes in AIP. The 'awesome intensity of purpose'. If we all start 'omm-ing' now it will happen
• Let's face it, as Gary says, other than a loyal hard core, small following, there aren't enough paying fans to make touring financially viable.
• Procol Harum is something we would have a craving need for, were it not there.
• We NEVER thought that 1991 would happen ... why would a resurgence, even short-lived, in 2000+ be so odd?
• I am seriously thinking of writing to Bill Gates or Paul Allen (of Microsoft fame) and asking them to bankroll a tour
• My band , Richard & the Young Lions just reformed after 34 YEARS. so I hope the Procols DO the same!
• I have always kept a flame for PH. They must know how much they are loved.
• I would fly ANYWHERE in the world to see them again!
• I'm saving my frequent flyer miles just for this!

Don't forget that we also ran the Fans' Christmas wish-list and the Fans' ideal set-lists, which both showed how much faith the fans had that the band would play again!
