On
SATURDAY May 10th,
2003 at 9pm, the Inter-Media
Art Center (IMAC) in Huntington, Long Island will present
a concert with British progressive rock group PROCOL
HARUM.
According
to organist Matthew
Fisher, there are two Procol
Harums, �the Procol
Harum that
die-hard fans see and the Procol
Harum that everyone else sees.�
There from the beginning and now back in the ranks, Fisher
neatly encapsulates the enigma that is Procol
Harum. Well
known worldwide for �A
Whiter Shade of Pale�, the Number 1 hit of the
Summer of Love- 1967, if you�re of tender years- they have
since built up a body of work that ranks them among the
thoroughbreds of British rock.
The February 2003 release of their 12th
album The
Well�s on Fire extends that legend into the current
millennium.
Gary
Brooker,
�the Commander� to one and all, still leads from behind
the piano, with Fisher
and ever-present non-playing lyricist Keith
Reid steadfastly at this shoulder.
Below deck lies a purring engine of a rhythm section in
the comparatively young form of bassist Matt
Pegg (son of Fairport�s Dave) and Mark
Brzezicki of the late, lamented Big Country. Last but not least, we have 12-year veteran Geoff Whitehorn who has supplied guitar.
Tickets
for this performance are $35.00 ($26.50 for IMAC Members).
