This whole album was an afterthought - Procol Harum had been invited to play a concert with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and the Da Camera Singers in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, in August of 1971, at the tail-end of their last tour with Robin Trower in the lineup.

On this album, Procol Harum use the orchestra simply as an additional band member. Others such as Caravan ("& the new Symphonia"), Yes ("Yessymphonic"), and the Moody Blues ("Red Rocks"), have successfully done so since in a live environment, but for me, PH were the first. The appeal of this album is enhanced significantly by the track selection. The live version of "Conquistador" was released as a single and it was a hit. . Wilson& drums are very powerful in all the songs.

This release was one of 3 albums that I bought as a kid when I got my first "decent" stereo, and I've loved it for years. Now comes this new remastered version, with 3 additional songs not included on the original. What a fantastic job they have done of remastering this awesome concert! The recording now seems louder(without being abrasive, distorted, or annoying) and it seems to have more headroom. It was a thrilling concert before, but now it sends shivers up my spine.
