I went to this gig and, as at Hull, Procol were accompanied by Frankie Miller. Frankie did a set backed by Procol and also joined in for the encores. Can't remember much detail but it was probably the best Procol gig I went to, much more R'n'B based than the others. Only two numbers stand out in my memory: a brilliant rendition of The Devil Came from Kansas and Betty Wright's Shoorah Shoorah performed by Frankie Miller with Mick Grabham and Gary Brooker on vocals.

Guadalajara (ticket) |
Hello, congratulations for the Procol Harum site. I live
in Guadalajara Mexico, Guadalajara is the second-largest city in Mexico
country. I attended the Procol Harum concert in Guadalajara on August 28
1975, Thursday, at 20.30 hours.
The concert was very important because at that time in
Mexico this kind of events were not permitted. The concert was superb. For me is one of the best experiences in my whole life because I love rock music. Thanks a lot, Take care. Jorge Rubén Ledesma Aguilar |

Mexico City |
Guillermo Vazquez Malagamba writes to BtP from
Mexico city: 'I visited your website today (which I consider as
one of the best in the web dedicated to any band!; Congratulations!). I wanted to know on which days Procol Harum
played in the city I live. My three older brothers and some
cousins attended one of those concerts, which were at the Auditorio Nacional.
'I also read that they played in Guadalajara, but I don't know on which venue they did it. In Pete Frame's book The Complete Rock Family Trees (1993) he wrote that Procol Harum played in Mexico because the then President of my country asked them to play here. I don't know if that is true. 'I remember that the then Government's TV channel , Channel 13 (sold to a private enterprise in 1993) some weeks later broadcast in two separate programmes some highlights from those concerts. I remember that one of my brothers recorded the audio from the TV speaker. Unfortunately with the passing of time the cassette tape deteriorated and didn't work anymore. But I remember that I watched the TV programmes while my brother were recording them! I remember that he told me that the concerts were very good, but Rock concerts in my country were not allowed in those years because the Government was afraid of riots outside the venue, which, of course, happened when Procol Harum and previously when Chicago played at the same venue. Mexican Rock bands also had to hide their gigs from the police! 'The reason I didn't attend the Procol Harum concerts was, of course, I was a child then, and of course, because of the riots. My brothers also told me about the riots outside the venue, which apparently were not very violent. But the seventies were a very hard period for my country and for others in respect of social problems in particular.' |

The supporting act (I was there) was the very popular Johnny's Dance Band, by then featuring Nan Mancini on vocals. Quite big in the Philly area (thanks, Billy from Philly). |

'According to
featbase, Procol Harum played five dates from 26 October 26 through
30 October 1975 at Paul's Mall in Boston, Massachusetts.
The link shows the ticket stub with Little Feat written on it. They
must have been added as a last minute opening act. 'This fills in the [previous] blanks on the October dates of Procol Harum's touring schedule [this page], also correlating with the time-period both bands were back east. 'Your site notes that Little Feat was the opener for the White Plains show on 26 October 1975.' Thanks, Forrest George (Lowell George's son) |
