Can someone tell me what piece of music Procol Harum borrowed for the last piece of the "Live in Concert with Edmonton Symphony Orchestra" ?

If you don't already have it you do need it by the way
One of the best live albums I've ever heard

Confused of Basingstoke here. Spotify lists the tracks for Live in Concert with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra as:

Conquistador
Whaling Stories
A Salty Dog
All This and More
In Held Twas In I
Luskus Delph

...and then two rehearsal tracks. So which is it?

Have to agree with Andr'e, it just sounds like Procol Harum.

Good. I assumed they had nicked at least the bones of it and they have often said where the idea/s came from

I'm not seeing Andre's replies here, just the email notification
