Best song, ever, perhaps?
Still one of my favorite songs.
I saw them in '72 with Steeleye Span as the opening act.

So very cool to see the Hammond that prominent for a change...the LesPaul seems extra-superfluous.

Definitely a top fave o'mine. I really love "a salty dog",too.
Re: Best song, ever, perhaps?
I remember back in the day when "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" [1] was competing with Scott McKenzie's "San Francisco" [2] for the top spot on the Aussie hit parade. I loved [1] and absolutely loathed [2]. When [2] finally took over the top spot I think I actually shed a tear or two.
Certainly one of the classics, Jeff.
I still gather as much Gary Brooker and Matthew Fisher material as I can find.

You bet! I was listening to the "One More Time" version of "A Salty Dog" done live in Utrecht just the other day. Must drag out the Edmonton album for another listen too.Definitely a top fave o'mine. I really love "a salty dog",too.

...you are not alone in appreciating this classic tune. Amazing thing here is that the Fabs didn't score higher in the ranking

I guess Gary Brooker has bought a fair few swimming pools over the years off the back of this one....good on him!

No No No No No... This has to be the greatest song ever recorded:
