  1. 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.

    1. 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.

    2. 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...

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