    Camel are the best band I've ever seen. Bar none.
    And I also can't always tell Pete Bardens from Andy Latimer despite being a fan for 50 years.

    Camel are the most outrageously talented band I've seen. I'm delighted that a young lady from Indonesia appreciates them.
    Obscure fact: Camel's current bassist (since about 1980) lived in Indonesia and wrote the song Denpasar Moon, which has since been recorded by over 50 artists and is one of the biggest selling songs in Indonesia after a Filipino singer called Maribeth recorded it.

    I will never forget that Sunday, December 2nd, 1979. I was 14 at the time and watching Camel play their songs 10 or so metres away from me, was absolutely mind blowing. Thanks Elok.

      I saw Camel 20th Anniversary Tour. They opened with "Never Let Go." Andy starts on accoustic and then goes to electric. The guitar tone was so rich and impactful.

    Possibly the best performances of Camel are not on video, I highly recommend the album A live record (it is called that) and you will have a great idea of what these musicians are capable of doing. Thanks

    Another great choice Elok !Another example of great British prog rock God Britain was blessed with so many of them in the 70s. Talking of jazz rock fusion you simply must have Wishbone Ash on your list in my mind one of the finest proggers of that erea. Check out their album Argus. Play these guys and you have a friend for life. lol !Keep up your great work You have branched out so much Loads more for you to discover from that time ! Love ya loads !🎸💕

    Glad to see that you like this classic band. I would never have heard of them when I did if it wasn't for a record shop that played them, and a friend who was into a lot of different music. Louisiana in the 70's was not known for having a lot of people who listened to bands like Camel, Colosseum, Renaissance, or other similar groups. Luckily the friend that I mentioned happened to be an audiophile that had shelves full of great albums. He introduced me to a lot of great music back then, and even introduced me to the record shop that played this stuff.

  • @manuelalayo511

    Dear Elok,
    Thanks for your heart ♥. Actually I saw them twice in Galicia, Spain in 1979 and 1980. They were very popular in Spain at the time. They never were very well known in England, unfortunately.
    They were very famous in Europe in the late 1970's and early 1980's.
    Thanks Elok!!!

    I am late again, still catching up to your past reactions. Camel was very underrated (except in the UK) and was a key part of the progressive scene out of the UK, including The Strawbs, Caravan, and earlier still Gentle Giant (along with all the other usual suspects). You can see their jazz crossover-improvisational style that was part of the prog rock DNA. I will say again that I am very surprised at an Indonesian lady reacting to prog rock, this is very advanced for your age, congratulations!

    Well, I would’ve predicted a horseback ride today before the camel ride I just received. Would be very cool if everyone at their concerts was offered a camel to sit upon as they listen. Have to think that would enhance the experience tremendously. I’ve heard this band but I’ve never seen them, so that was very cool, thanks Elok! One of the more pleasant bands out there to listen to. And your knowledge of music history continues to grow, which is excellent.

      Odd that you should say that. In recent months I have heard several Camel tracks and l have thought...."Is this Hawkwind ? No, it is Renaissance. Or is it? No, wait up, it is probably Camel".
      And it was Camel.

    Hi Elok, Camel is included in a school of music refered to as Canterbury Progressive. David Sinclair, the guy you saw playing bass and singing was involved with at least 3 of those bands. My favorite was Hatfield and the North. I recommend, ' Son of There's No Place Like Homerton ', and ' Mumps ' by them.

    Interesting choice Elok! I’m not familiar with this band, as my knowledge of British progressive rock only goes as deep as Jethro Tull, King Crimson, and Yes. They certainly treated the audience to a slick jazz rock jam here, and I’m glad you noticed the epic “guitar faces” being pulled by the dude on the Gibson EDS-1275. He reminded me of Robin Trower, who always looks like he has just swallowed a glass of vinegar when soloing! I look forward to seeing what you will be reacting to next! 🤘🏻
