Easter 1969 (review)
I saw Procol Harem [sic] in Palm Springs along with three of my best friends in 1969. You are correct to note that this was one of the first "pop" festivals but the Palm Springs Festival was actually advertised as "The Palm Springs Pot Festival"...  I wish I still had my poster to send you a copy...  That brings back many memories...  I sat on Home Plate for Ike and Tina Turner... and remember when the fences were broken the night of The Flyin Burrito Brothers, John Mayall, and Procol Harem ... I'll have to ask my still friend today, Mike who else we saw.  I remember John Mayall wearin' a gun holster belt to hold all his harmonicas.  We had one of the school 'buses converted into a hippie bus, and hiking up to Taquas (?) Falls ...  great memories (thanks, Leo)

PH did support for the Rolling Stones at the Lyceum, London (two shows) with Keith Reid playing organ on one or two numbers

' ... my first live gig with them – it was awful but the Stones were brilliant ...' writes Chris Copping (New Year's Day 2012)

Procol Harum played St Louis, Mo, USA – the Kiel Opera House, which was in the same building as the Kiel Auditorium but a much smaller space – in either late 1968 or early 1969. The opening act was 'Nazz'. All my friends that were at that show still say that was the best concert they have ever attended.
