  • This appears to be the version from the Pressure Points album, an amazing show!! Have loved this album for over 20 years, great to see a recording, hope the DVD is still available.

  • of course I like... :)

  • Rhayader Goes To Town is my fav instrumental song of camel.

  • emrson lake and palmer and camel are my favoritre progressive bands in history!!

  • That flute!

    ... So happy yet so sad.

  • The Beatles: Great Band, yes. CAMEL: FUCKING AWESOME; INCREDIBLE; FANTASTIC Band.... yes. There..

  • why aren't camel ever mentioned as some of the best in prog? their lack of deserved success really annoys me.

  • What year is this?

  • @MrRush1974

    1984

  • at 2:35 who knows how to play the piano/synth part

  • @xXBmWGtR3Xx I do. :P

  • The Snow Goose

    what a fantastic album . It s so emotional and dreamy . As for this video its not as good as the original disc . The drums are worse and there s notes missing or in some parts to many . As for some of you saying that the Beatles created easy 3 chords music . I play guitar and i say that to make good songs like the Beatles - try it yourself . Its easy to play covers until you try making a catchy tune of your own .

    And yes i love to doble the guitar on Snow Gose !

  • @sidneywatts42 Yes man, the song has lost one point in quality for the drummer. The best version for me is that on Excerpts from the Snow Goose, in the Moonmadness Disc 2: Live At Hammersmith Odeon

  • This music gives me an erection. :)

  • @metalmattm It`s all!?

  • awsomeness in abundace!!

  • Masterpieces.

  • great !!!

  • What an amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing performance.

    I just dropped off my seat!

  • Esta música tiene poder curativo, es mágica.

  • inspiring music, fit for a more civilized time...

  • One Of Progressive Rocks Greatest Bands.....As a Drummer I have Loved this style of Rock since i was 13...It Has It all

  • I own the DVD this comes from, one of the greatest concerts ever recorded!!!! Definitely worth getting, plus the DVD has a slightly better audio quality

  • They should have just let Peter play keys on this one. Ton's playing WAY to many keys on this.

  • andy latimer genius

  • is that mel collins on sax?

  • @Frustratedartist2

    It sure is Mel Collins, I recognised his sublime and specific sound... and now I saw his face:... no shred of doubt it's Mel Collins. !

  • sure, that's him! ;)

    a great one!

  • @Frustratedartist2: To second a couple of people, yes that is Mel Collins. He has played with Camel many times, on three tours (if you don't count the tour of this vid), and he has played on the albums "Rain Dances", "Breathless", "I Can See Your House from Here", "Nude" and "Stationary Traveller". He toured with Camel from mid '76 - late '78.

  • Comment removed

  • these persons offer perfect *************

  • i see some weak ops from --------- ge get a life what camel plays is GOLD ----------> sounds like my grunge rock son HMM

  • It's just absolutely amazing when he goes insane with the guitar!

  • Check out these guys, they are pretty good..

    ?v=DvacjRuBpWA

  • OMG What a Great Song ! .. i'm hearing it everyday on the morning .. Perfect (Y)

  • The Beatles are one of the best bands in the world, yeah they were simple, but that's the charm, does a band have to use 30+ instruments and play complex to be good... LESS IS MORE!!

  • didn'ty the beatles use many instruments on recordings in later years?

  • top gear hot hatchbacks golf,megane, ASTRA VXI ! camel crazed clarksons got the goose playing in the stigs astra.....he deserves every dollar the beeb hurl at him !

  • The beatles were weak in the early years 1962-1966 because quality music was not in existence then, but suddenly in the final years 1967-1970 they invented psychedelic-proggressive music. Camel from 1973 up untill today followed in their footsteps and remained true, whilst a great part of the Beatles solo work was commercial eg Paul and Michael Jakson doing crap like 'Say Say' and John singing 'Oh Yoko'

  • Are you saying you don't like this music?

  • woooow best of camel,also try finger tips

  • anyone has tabs to this song?

  • Google propably has. :)

  • Oh dear lord, lolcats can use keyboards now...

  • isn't there some missing hair, organ and synth in this vid??

  • hair, definatly, organ, listen closely and you'll hear Bardens on it, synth, too much.

  • Probably has something to do with the fact that Ton Scherpenzeel is playing keys, too. I could never get used to hearing other versions of this great song.

  • Triana, Camel, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Iceberg.... ésto es música creativa y no la mierda de música que se hace ahora.

  • Totalmente de acuerdo

  • Both are great progressive bands but for me Jethrotull is the best ever with Genesis and The Beatles.

  • I wouldn't really call the Beatles "progressive." I don't have a preference between Tull and Genesis... depends on my mood.

  • im inclined to agree, with the exception of "revolver" the beatles are hardly progressive

  • No doubt they were extremely succesful, but you can't compare their sound with the magnificence Camel have, because The Beatles had a different style, and different songs, and because they were too basic. I mean, two- or three-minute songs, no elaboration, three chords... That's what I mean.

  • what's wrong with simple songs?

  • the beatle were incredibly progressive. they didn't write simple songs with the exception of the first few albums, and their instrumentation is just as diverse as camel. the later albums the beatles completed such as the white album, abbey road, sgt peppers are all great albums that have a lot of compositional value. just because you can't wrap your head around the complexity and talent of camel doesn't devalue it profoundness. how about you comment on something you know a little more about.

  • i just replied to Aristillus because i thought he was bashing Beatles for being simple, sorry if i misunderstood a little, i like Camel =)

  • beatles are not, or nothing nearly as progressive as these guys... Camel is up there with Gentle Giant, two thumbs up!

  • @Aristillus1 the beatles songs aren't that simple like just "three chrods"

  • @santiagoeag yea....i can pay like 90% of the beatles hits...the only camel song ive even touched is never let go...

  • @Aristillus1 Then you have never listened to The Beatles, quite simply.

  • @syvergutten I had, and I can play any of their songs on guitar, and I'm not a guitar player...

  • @Aristillus1 Look, I'm not here to rip on Camel. I love Camel. But I'm not even going to dignify such an ignorant reply with an answer.

  • @syvergutten Hi. I know I've talking bullshit, but I can't realize the amazingness of the beatles. To me, they were an incredible succesful band, but with non progressive or ellaborated songs. Answer me to change my mind.

  • @Aristillus1 No worries. The Beatles could hardly be recognized as a prog band. However, they span an amazing range of genres and I'm confident they have something to suit all music tastes. Everything from 2 minute long naive love songs to bad acid flashbacks. I'd like to at least recommend you a couple songs. Specifically "Happiness is a Warm Gun" "While My Guitar Gently weeps" and "Helter Skelter", all from The White Album. For their arguably most progressive work, check out "Revolution 9".

  • @syvergutten OK. Thanks for your help. I'll listen up to those songs, and sorry about my opinion.

  • @syvergutten I think the main problem is they are 2 different genres...the only bands you can really compare to camel are bands like Rush, Gentle Giant, Genesis, and other just prog bands...the Beatles were hippie rock.

  • your too basic

  • @Aristillus1 sorry my friend but you can't say the Beatles were "two- or three-minute songs, no elaboration, three chords"...

    That's simply not accurate and certainly not true

    Camel are great, the Beatles are great as were a lot of those 60's and 70's bands

  • @Aristillus1 Clearly you've never listened to the likes of Sgt. Pepper if you think the Beatles are all about 3 minute, 3 chord pop songs. Camel are a brilliant band though!

  • @mazzasl I agree that the Beatles have contributed to the early evolution of prog rock, with works like sgt.pepper, but they have always been a commercial phenomenon.. They wanted (or someone wanted them to) SELL, more than to MAKE ART.

  • @Aristillus1 Beatles were too basic?? Are you kidding me?? I guess you know only Help and Love me do, if you say that....

  • @Aristillus1 three chords? Are you stupid? Are you really that stupid? Don't get me wrong, I like Camel, hell I LOVE Camel. But no, The Beatles did have elaboration and certainly had more than 3 chords. Also saying they're 'basic' doesn't make sense. Compare say, With the Beatles to Magical Mystery tour. A world of difference. Please, please, don't say stupid stuff. don't.

  • dude.. you're just another sheep, u don't know

    about real music

  • The most known act of the century but not the most talented. Pink Floyd is more talented and Latimer is awesome too.

  • Yea.. the Beatles basically suck. They may have been "good" back 40 years ago, but after Yes, Gensis, Camel, King Crimson..... The Beatles are like a 3 year old trying to play the piano.

  • I wouldn't say they suck. I am a huge Beatle fan, but I'm also a huge prog fan, so I can understand what you're saying. The Beatles were a different type of music than Yes or Camel, because they didn't really have the potential to become a successful prog rock group in their heyday, anad even when they first started. The Beatles had a different type of talent, which is found in their powerful harmonies. Most of their early work was mostly love songs, but as time went on they grew as musicians.

  • (I was talking about a comment a few paragraphs down!!)

  • im inclined to agree, with the exception of "revolver" the beatles arent really progressive at all

    camel are one of my favourite bands but i really dislike this version of rhayader goes to town

  • duh, the beatles is not prog, jethro is more folk than prog...but good for you

  • Well, Thick as a Brick is prog by very definition of the word.

  • No comparison to Jethro Tull! They are miles ahead. Their music broders on jazz but is highly original rock. Another superp group is Focus - same era.

  • Agreed, Tull is a category apart. Trying to create a Pandora station that plays "Tull-like" music is an... interesting exercise.

    Do you have any links to Focus?

  • watch?v=ZSVzCtgu2t4

  • Focus

    watch?v=ZSVzCtgu2t4

  • What kind of bass does Doug use?

  • Doug uses a Fender Jzz Bass, it's Colin on this clip though...

  • The bass looks like a Wal. It's an English brand that's also used by Pete Thomas (EC & The Attractions) and Geddy Lee, though both used them only for a short time. The thing weighs a ton but the sound is beautiful.

  • Sounds like Jethro Tull????

    I have seen camel 3 times and i saw them in sheffield on the farewell tour and they were amazing and latimers guitar sound is so unique and he's got great technique for me he stands up with the best.

    btw zigil1's comment lol it's like saying oh they sound like Pink Floyd because of the sax solo.

    Camel is just fantastic simple!

  • Maybe the flute a little, but Andy is so diffrent from Martin Baree, and Bardens is better than any Tull keyboard player, though Evans was awesome. Tull and Camel are two VERY good bands, but two Very diffrent bands.

  • If you can't find the many clear diferences netween Camel and Jethro Tull, you need to wash your ears or to hear much more music and learn.

    Both are great bands, two of the best bands of all times, but their styles -although both are progressive rock- are clearly different. Is like comparing Pink Floyd with Yes or Genesis with Dream Theater.

  • You are right. Next time I Won't compare bands that I don't know enough. I heard 1-2 Jethro Tull songs only...so I'm sorry for that comment!

  • @zigil1 Zig matey your'e a humble guy, how rare. Don;t worry though our first tendancy as humans is towards our own preferences. I too loved the Beatles and as I learnt to play guitar a found myself looking deeper into music and playing and recognising more complex stuff. It's such a please to see and hear great music that has been thoughtfully constructed to tell a story. Bands like Camel, Yes, Floyd etc etc. musos who new their craft. Awesome

  • the best prog rock ever.

  • Is Bardens the one playing the organ solo?

  • Frustratedartist2: You are correct. The other keyboard player is Ton Scherpenzeel. Bardens was much more inspired, crying shame he left Camel. As so often, the original Camel 4 were never bettered.

  • Yeah, Bardens on the Hammond (organ) Scherpenzell on some synths, Richie Close on some synths and I think Cris Rainbow plays some synths too. Bardens does most here though, the keyboardplayer Camel ever had...

  • This is the essence of progressive music!! thanks Andy

  • Camel is the best band, of all time. :)

  • LOS MEJORES

    THE BEST

  • esta es la que más me gustaaa, que super feliz me pone, sube los ánimos ^^

  • Great music, legendary

  • There's no doubt that Camel is one of the best band of symphonic and progresive rock.

  • My god, this is great !

  • Music as a fantasy from another world. Peace

  • I LOOVEEE THIS SONG!

  • Latimer is a guitar genius.

  • I hear Andy has been pretty sick as of late. Hang in there Andy! But your right, Andy is a great guitarist and musician.

  • remember seeing these guys in Manchester some time in the late 70's (78 I think) when they were supported by an interest group called Sasafras.

    Any body remember that tour and can tell me anything about the support band. Seems to remember I got a huge Pyramid poster with a sand camel shaddow cast against it in a red.yellow sky. Like most things 25 years on, it seems to have gone missing

    Fabulous crew Camel - very underestimated by the majority I feel

    Thanks for the posting

  • Andy is fantastic!!!

  • muy buenos camel

  • it's incredible, the perfect music to listen

  • During Bardens first solo there Andy is laughing so hard(= Was probably a long time since they'd played together. Great song, one of my favourites, and Camel is always best with Latimer and Bardens together.

  • No words! WOW! Camel is the best, even with only two of the original , coz these songs are just fantastic!

  • My uncle gave me this album 20+ years ago... It's superb STILL and nice to revisit it - Thanks for such great, timeless music Camel!!

  • This music is inmortal. I hope Camel will be recognized in the future as one of the best bands of the XX century.

  • I like the original drummer better

  • well, I guess THAT is Magic...

    Thank you for posting mate!

  • lo mejor!

  • Nice ytsename,

    Camel was a fav, have, Camel, Snow Goose,& "a live record"

    I'm always suprised at what you find here!

    Thanks

  • I'm usually pretty picky about hearing an original version of a band performing something, but this version may just be tighter and more energetic than the original. Thanks for posting!!

  • Music is universal, no matter what language you speak, the music,emotion and melody are what never leave you.

    That is sadly lacking in today's popular music (

  • popular music...yes...but popular music is usually like that...the ratio remains the same throughout time (for the most part)

  • i disagree, 70s radio combined all genres of music without singling out any one style over another. they played everything.

    these days, the variety is very limited

  • the best! with these guys I really start to believe that music is a language for everyone! I am thrilled!

  • fuera de serie uno de los mejores instrumentales que hay

  • DAMN! I love the sound of his guitar during those single note solos. Has anyone an idea of what his setup may have consisted of back then???

  • I met Andy Latimer after Camel did a gig in Poole, and I asked him how he got that amazing sustain. He told me that it was his Les Paul through a Mesa Boogie amp. So there we are!

  • Latimer is from another world. He deserve to be remembered in music history books.

  • Andy Latimer DESTROY

  • unbeliveble!!!

    I love this music

  • i lik this song much very thank kamelen

  • totally awesome

  • incredible !! This music is fabulous ! I´m also play the flute and I jump in my room by playing with high sound with Camel togetehr!!! What a great feeling ! Thank you Camel !!

  • great great band!

  • Yes,They are the best!

  • this video is just awesome....nothing else to say honestly i'm speechless...this is great music

  • just amazing , that's all

  • Amazing! You can see (and hear) that they have lots of fun on stage.

  • this is the real music. amazing song from the greatest prog rock band of all time.

  • Fantastic. Thank you.

  • Sin duda una las mas grandes bandas de rock sinfonico de la historia.

    Injustamente infravalorada

  • Maravillos como siempre!

  • I have been listened this song all the day.This band is great!

  • well worth spent 8 minutes. thank you andy for being

    so damn good!!!

  • this is real music. this rules!!

  • Camel...Andy Latimer...rules...real music.

  • I was 11!!! i saw the first Konzert from Camel in Düsseldorf/Germany.Now i am 41.I saw Camel 35 times,all over europe.What a great time.Thank you Camel

  • one of my favourites art rock progressive bands,great compositions from all of them and latimer also a great melodic guitarist with such feeling(Ice is one of the best instrumental i have ever heard)

  • yeah definetly! also 'for today' from their latest album features an amazing guitar solo! Everybody in Tilburg 013 was silent during those 2 songs, amazing band, amazing guitar player!

  • have you really heard better ?

  • my dad played Camel when i was a toddler just hearin it brings back memories their ace

  • ¡Grandioso!

  • Amazing. I Love this song :)

  • Along with Snow Goose, this is one of their best

  • I'm not agree with the statement: "It sounds very 80's". It's only and for ever Canterbury music!

  • camel this guys know what they´re doing,great musicians and great great music.

  • wow! great! :]

  • sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeT!!!!

  • One of my favorites, thanks for posting! Fantastic progressive group!

  • I don't doubt the musicianship, but these guys are very dorky. I can imagine a Camel concert being a total nerd-fest; probably not a single woman in the audience.

  • oh you cool guy

  • My wife (when she was my girlfriend in those days) was there, so were loads of other women. Am I a nerd? That's for others to judge, but I've been to many Camel gigs over the years and am a big fan, as are many of the ladies I know who go to the concerts too.

  • Response to andypf61: C'mon man! You should be able to tell whether or not you're a nerd. I am able to admit that I'm a nerd. If you've been to as many Camel gigs as you say you have, then you are definitely a nerd.

  • Response to handlinsd:

    Oxford Dictionary definition of nerd: "a foolish, feeble, or uninteresting person."

    Foolish?  Okay, sometimes. Feeble? I'm getting older... Uninteresting? I'm a Camel fan!!

  • git

  • viva camel, grande maestros

  • me parece espectacular camel, verdaderos iconos en el movimiento progresivo, ojala los tengamos pronto en chile, saludos

  • I love Camel... they're so great

  • "A LIVE RECORD" by Camel is one of the best record of the 70's... thx for this video!

  • hah i'm a camel fan in making and this definitely helped :) -soon to be 102nd fan

  • Great band and great songs...

  • good god they're awesome... i'm only 16 and have just recently discovered them, and man do we ever need more bands like Camel and Caravan

  • Thank you!

  • this is my absolute favorite rendition of this song. everyone is at his best here, and the video quality is good, especially for how old it is...camel lives! thanks for sharing!

  • I'm sorry.. But this really doesn't compare to the album version.. But still, one of the best albums ever and 2 of the best songs off of it!

  • As I said, this is an eighties version of the song, search for the user "LedHalen" and you will find a live version even better than the one on the album.
