Procol Harum Live: In Concert with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra

This fine 1972 live album offering from Procol Harum is recorded with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. 

After Deep Purple, it must be one of the first rock/orchestral collaborations and is certainly one of the most successful. The grandeur of the band's music really lends itself to this kind of setting. Conquistador opens it in fine sweeping, almost epic style and the whole of the second side is "In Held 'Twas in I" their psychedelic masterpiece from Shine on Brightly.

I was surprised to read that this remains their best selling album, making #5 in USA and #48 in UK
