What was new at 'Beyond the Pale', February 2006

Added the first in a series of screenshots of Procol Harum in 1976 in the famous Rockpalast broadcast (thanks, Larry)

Added a graphic to this page: maybe someone can explain why, since Procol reputedly played the festival, they're not listed on the poster? (thanks, Carwardine)

Added some Beatle content to this page (please use your own ears to verify or refute the allegation!) (thanks, Bertstown)

Find your Procoholic neighbours and explore the Procol fans' world atlas ... now showing 300 names and counting ... and add your own name and town. [If you're not sure what this is all about, see if the Frappr Map song helps at all].

Fans in the USA can now order Robin Trower's excellent live DVD, previewed at BtP in December, from Amazon: please click this link to order, and BtP gets a fractional commission while you also get an excellent deal ... almost 6 USD off the list price (thanks, Cut-off)

Tickets for Procol Harum's Lulworth Castle show are currently on special offer at a two-for-one price (see here for details). If you are going there alone, send us your name using this link, and we shall put pairs of such people in contact so they can arrange to save on the ticket-prices.

Added an excellent Procol notice from Stereo Review ... but before you read it, which track on the Grand Hotel album would you say best deserves to be called 'one really ghastly lapse in taste'? (thanks, Marvin)

Added a new concert date for July 2006 in what must be the most beautiful setting ever to be graced by the live sound of Procol Harum (thanks, Chris) Excellent BtP ticket prices for those who book swiftly!

He said that I must soldier on: great to receive an e-mail from Lt Godfrey of the First Battalion Devonshire and Dorset Light Infantry: 'The Lost in the Looking-Glass 2CD sits among a great collection of other famous artists such as Dire Straits, Dylan, and of course U2, and ... has regularly accompanied many officers through a night's drinking' (thanks, Dave)

February 23:

Added a fifth page of soundcheck pictures from the Paramounts reunion gig in December (thanks, Jill)

Added some extremely useful research about Procol tour dates from the Old and New Testaments (thanks, Jim)

You'll find the new information here, here, here and here wherever the words 'thanks, Jim' occur. In particular, we'd like to hear from any Americans who witnessed the 1993 tour and whose memories or physical souvenirs will allow them to resolve some dating and venue anomalies.

Added a second page of soundcheck pictures from the Paramounts reunion gig in December (thanks, Jill)

Apparently it has been snowing in parts of America, which has provided an excellent item for our 'Whiter Shade of Pale' in common parlance page: search for 'unrecognisable' (thanks, Bob)

And a reminder: Amazon also stock Procol Harum's live Union Chapel DVD with a bonus audio CD as well (click here to find Amazon links)! Add this to your Trower order, above, and get free postage!
