We skipped the light fandango.

..."A Whiter Shade of Pale", recorded by Procol Harum. The lyric was written by Keith Reid, who didn't play an instrument and so never performed with the band, but was considered a member as he wrote their lyrics.

He got the idea for the lyric from a few sources - an off-handed comment about a girl at a party turning "a whiter shade of pale", his depth in literature and his interest in French cinema, especially some of the surrealistic and impressionistic trends of the day.

The general idea is about a boy and girl at a party,...

Some have tried to find a connection between "the miller told his tale" lyric and "The Miller's Tale" from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales...

The chord changes from Gary Brooker was based on Bach's "Air on a G String", and the famous organ theme, written by Matthew Fisher, was based on Bach's "Sleepers Awake" (which all came out in the recent lawsuit...)...

Hope that helps some. Here's the lyric:

Vintage!!

I give Blackmore a lot of credit for totally changing his approach to his solos when Gillian joined the band. I LOVED his solos on "Emeretta" "Hard Road" "The Bird has Flown" and a few others from the Mark I version of the band

He was like Zappa in being able to totally transform what he was doing on the guitar in order to bring out the best on the people around him.

Made in Japan is still probably the live album anyone has ever done.

and that is why he is such a great player....plus his solos are pretty close to the studio version....
