And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade of Pale, live in Denmark 2006
Reaction videos to this outstanding performance were at one point trending very high on YouTube. Too much fun watching the look on people's faces (in particularly black people) when he starts singing.
OK. After actually watching that; very nice! I really enjoyed that with the orchestra and choir, etc. And the guy can still sing. Much better than most concerts with aging rockers. - macxcool
Very true, the inspiration came from the Bach's "Air on the G String", but you have to admit the guys did an excellent job, kind of a variation+ of the original. Excellent artists - all of them, not only Gary Brooker as singer, but also Keith Reid, Matthew Fisher as co-songwriters...

Wasn't it rather "We skipped the light fandango..."?
