🍎 May, 12

🍎 1967.
‘Are You Experienced?’ LP was released on this day.

The Speakeasy, Procul Harum gig.

Gary Brooker (vox/piano, Procol Harum): “We played our first gig at The Speakeasy the day the record ('A Whiter Shade Of Pale') came out, so nobody knew us. We played a Bob Dylan song, a Rascals song, and one called 'Morning Dew' that Tim Rose had recorded. Jimi was down at The Speakeasy watching us playing and he suddenly jumped up on stage when we started 'Morning Dew', grabbed the bass off our bass-player, turned it upside down, and joined in. He loved us. He thought we were lovely.”
