This performance is from a 1969 German Dusty Springfield TV special. They also did A Salty Dog. The complete show is out on DVD as "Dusty in Deutschland". Gary Brooker knew Dusty Springfield when he was in the Paramounts, and was considering joining her backing band in 1966 after the Paramounts broke up. In early 1967 he and Keith Reid wrote a song for her (Understandably Blue), but she never recorded it. Procol Harum recorded a backing track, which was released as a bonus track on the 2 CD version of their debut album.

i wish robin would play songs ( like this) from procol harum in his live sets!

Great little jam...Early Psych Rock Video....long before MTV....cool!

If you can't at least smile at this, you ain't no fun. It's is a freakin' hoot! While the sound's a little thin, the visuals are pure Batman on acid!... It's so bad, it's GOOD! Robin Trower fans will note he's playing a Gibson Les Paul. This was before he got into the Fender Strat. Regrettably, there's almost no solo to speak of, it's more like a fill, (No wonder Robin split and went solo!) Still, what he plays here is solid throughout.

although most people have not heard of this group, they were popular and they are/were a very good band

Grande Gary Brooker! 😍💗😍

The graphics match the Home album cover: Zap! Pow!

right on blue heron, the song and video is real boss !

Pure early goofy 70's graphics and clothes. At least PH seems to be recorded live. Nice to see this so many years later. Still a great song and loved by guitarists of course.

I dare anyone to mute this and put it on replay for an hour or so.

Trippy

AMAZING

This is the good recording thank you true fan...

Love it but...abbreviated? I just spent lot on the new box set. Just to see Salty Dog again. I know I am an old man now but their concert in Sydney in the early 70s was wonderful! Sorry to be a bother.

KILLER!!

Wow, so dated but so cool Hard to find whiskey train live

Geweldig nummer van Robin, waardeloos “ ballet “.

❤❤❤❤💞

Great PH track with Robin Trower killing it on guitar!! Video now looks completely stupid 50 yrs later..

I had to give my friend Twilia a brief history of Robin Trower and Procol Harum. She had never made the connection.

It's Aquaman on bass!!

They really let Robin go on this one. Thought there was a solo on the original too.

Lets ride the whiskey train out of covid

Blackfoot done a cover of this great track

#throwbackthursday

SOOOO dated. But this is what it was like back then. For a killer updated version of the song check out Jake E Lee's version from his Retraced disc. He does a fine job with it.

Jesus, that Bird at the beginning is a bit special eh? I'd like to see more of her...

Oddball transitional phase of the band as well as pop culture. The art direction of this promo film was already dated when it was created with cheesy graphic effects and trashy art. The dancers are pointless even though they do it well. Just seeing Robin Trower playing is always a treat and Barrie Wilson was one of the best drummers in the classic rock era. His timing on this song is very interesting although this speedy version for the film sounds like it's speeded up although Gary's vocals sound normal. It's fun to see this regardless and one from the overlooked "Home" album which saw the band moving more toward blues rock on several tracks while still keeping enough of their art rock in tow. It's a great album.

Dig the pron stache on Gary Brooker!

Does anyone know the story behind Robin's guitar here? It looks like the same heavily modified Les Paul that Gary Moore played in Skid Row.

Wow... is this the inspiration for modern music vid mixing?

This is my favorite song. This version is breathtakingly horrible....

Short and commercial version that plots the solo of Trower - it makes a lot whore !!

Great but too short. Those graphics gave me a headache! 🙇

Someone once came up with the idiotic idea that every music show recorded in the studio should feature a ballet. This disease has spread all over the world. I can still understand a pop band singing and playing something upbeat and easy, but what the heck are these slick "obstructions" in rock, blues music???? Then what? In classical music too?

I wonder what the dancers are doing these days?

WAY TOO FAST......ONTHIS RECORDING

far out man. Love this song, but for the cheesy psychodelia plus they sound coked out of their minds playing so fast! Record company definitely behind this one

Hilarious and Bitchen at the same time

The dancing girls are hilarious! The one on the far right is so out of step.

To fast

drugs are bad.....

Way too short. We know the long version.

Great song. Horrible video.
