Most folk on the BBS these days will think you're referring to a caravan of camels.

Was it 1967 it was released on the wee black plastic jobs? Kind of circular and about 7" in diameter?

It's not my favourite type of music but hats off, it's iconic. I saw the pianist playing it on his grand piano last week on TV and he's still got it.

For some though, happy memories of misspent youth.
Bikes, cars, parties, girls.

The only problem I have with Procol Harem is all the scantily-clad wimmins lounging around.

very good festival imho, smaller scale than Glasto, much friendlier atmosphere and only havi ng one main stage negated all the running around trying to balance seeing various acts.

Highlights were, Procul Harem, Prodigy, Placebo did a great Kate Bush cover of "running up that hill" and Coldplay did "perfect day".
Gutted by:
Lou Reed not playing perfect day or walk on the wildside, Primal Scream not doing loaded, moving on up or come together.

I appreciate the turns are not there solely to please me, that they have to take into account a wider audience. However I am a firm believer that they should do the greatest hits to gee the crowd up a bit.
Very good weekend, my head hurts today though

Torquay for you then.
Was there recently and there's a Moroccan restaurant which has Harem rooms available.
And no, we'd left the role play gear at home!
