Procol after-gig at Aalborg, Denmark

Hi-jinks on 9 November 2003


These pictures kindly sent to BtP by Lene and Henrik: captions by Jens!

These two girls seems to be big fans of Geoff, who doesn't seem to mind.

 In the greenroom after the concert: Henrik (who sent these pictures to BtP) tells Gary that it has been almost exactly 28 years since Procol Harum played in Aalborg the last time.

 The hotel lobby had a 24 hour bar, where the party carried on well into the night.

Here Geoff signs some albums brought by a young fan.

The band showed much interest in studying the various covers.

Tour manager Stephen Cullen points out some difference between this Danish issue of the Edmonton album and his own copy.

 Webmaster Jens (a big Norwegian who smokes too many cigars according to Gary's description here) with his cigar and red wine in deep conversation with Gary.

 The green-room had a big fridge full of Danish beer. Here sound-man Graham, with Matt and Gary, samples the supply.

What was not consumed backstage was later taken in Mark's bag to the hotel party.

' This man can not be lifted.'

Stephen, Matt, Jens and the German 'bus-driver try to lift Gary with two fingers each.

They couldn't do it.

 'This man can be lifted'.

This head-pressing 'ceremony', and repeating the mantra, have proved to make the impossible possible before.

 'This man is now lifted'

The same eight fingers can suddenly lift Gary high into the air.

The ultimate test!
