Queen and Procol Harum Perform A Whiter Shade of Pale Live at Astoria London

Venue: Astoria London Location: London, United Kingdom Date: November 30, 2001

In the live performance captured at the Astoria in London on November 30, 2001, Queen, featuring founding members Brian May and Roger Taylor, shared the stage with Procol Harum for a stirring rendition of "A Whiter Shade of Pale." At this time, Queen was riding the wave of a remarkable resurgence, having revitalized their legacy with “Queen +” collaborations since the late ’90s, especially after the passing of their iconic frontman Freddie Mercury in 1991. This performance came shortly after the release of “Queen on Fire – Live at the Bowl,” which showcased Queen’s enduring spirit and celebrated their extensive catalog of hits. Interestingly, this collaboration was one of the later instances of Queen performing live in a more stripped-down setting, displaying their ability to adapt and maintain relevance beyond their initial glory days. The blend of classic rock power with Procol Harum's iconic sound made this concert an unforgettable moment in Queen's ongoing journey in the music world.
