681025

Grande Ballroom, Detroit, MI

'I attended one [Grande Ballroom gig]. The original line-up of course, ending with a 10-minute long Repent. One thing that stuck was the absolutely gorgeous, one could only say juicy, sound of BJ Wilson's drumset. Very, very carefully tuned and miked - I've never heard a drumset sound that well live anywhere in over 30 years.' (Karl Moeller)

Procol Harum played St Louis, Mo, USA – the Kiel Opera House, which was in the same building as the Kiel Auditorium but a much smaller space – in either late 1968 or early 1969. The opening act was 'Nazz'. All my friends that were at that show still say that was the best concert they have ever attended.
