Camel Live In Brazil 2001 Hour Candle AMAZING GUITAR!!!

[siavash75esn]

Honestly Who doesn't love andy ?!

[AndyinMokum]

This is still wonderful. When Andy Latimer plays guitar, I get goose pimples.  A great track from an equally great album.

[vivelavidarocka]

Her looks like Trower, Both superb guitar players.

[gfig515]

I learned with Latimer that life is like an explosion. When we are born, we begin that explosion, until it fades away when our body is dead. What we do in between is to give of our potential, what we hold inside, our soul to the world. And Latimer puts out his soul on the stage. There is no flesh or bones. Just his soul in a huge blast. Reality then becomes something else: all is transcended and only his musical soul remains. Just listen to ICE, for example.

[gfig515]

Andy Latimer is also one the greatest composers ever. His music comes from within, transmitting to us his wonderful inner landscape. Every note he plays describes this landscape that we can only hear and imagine. And what an amazing landscape it is!

[gfig515]

I was not there :(

[giggsbr]

I was there !!!!!!!

[slls61]

One word. Sensational.

[gfig515]

Andy Latimer: the most underrated musician ever...

[1969alias]

Andy is a great guitarist...sure, but his flute work, and composition is what elevates him to his status...

[ProgBartleby]

Andy Latimer...Steve Hackett on steroids. Wow! 

[MsMorals34]

Wonderfully transfuse performance ! : )

[Silverspring777]

from andy you can learn much technique, just by hearing a piece of five seconds of his playing,.... mr. latimer, we pray for your health.!

[rematpac]

Why can't more guitar players try to make music like this instead of trying to show off.

[Chris51]

@rematpac - the older you get the more soul and emotion you get,as a musician particularly. There are some who had that feel early on in life of course and this type of music requires that of you.

[rematpac]

@Chris51 No disagreement here.

[Chris51]

@rematpac - I also highly recommend a listen to the band Aryeon if you enjoy Prog rock particularly the "Electric Castle" album

[thekillingjimmy]

HEY GUYS CALM DOWN!!!ANDREW IS VERY GOOD.HE'S AT HOME AND REGAINING STRENGTH AND POWER FOR A NEW TOUR AND MAYBE FOR A NEW ALBUM!!!

[tutubinha]

sonzera , eu fui ao show aqui no brasil , espetacular

[gilbtx]

great! and refreshing!

[papayeti]

bon, ben les amis, je ne peux que constater: Andy, c'est mon amour mon préféré, mon favori, mon tout premier, quoi... Et je n'y peux rien, il me touche au plus profond. Je l'écoute, le regarde, et je souris, je bois du petit lait... Que voulez-vous, c'est mon histoire, ma trajectoire musicale qui est inscrite dans cette sensation immédiate de joie, comme un enfant. J'assume et jj'affirme, en français, en plus!

Bonne écoute!

[mgarrana]

camel has a very good feeling for music .. it's all about how the present it

[CLASSICALJAJ]

This song, also known as "Song for my father" is my best camel track ever. Please Andy, return to tour land !

[camelandu2]

Along with Ice, maybe the best instrumental song ever. I also like Misere with Martin Barre, but it's not the same feeling in that one... Only Andy can play this with this much emotion.

[edonotokyo]

Does that mean it's one of your favorite Camel songs ever...you must tell me.

[camelandu2]

Yes, indeed Ed. One of my many favourite Camel songs. It' s almost impossible to pick favourite Camel songs, since they're all so good, but this one ranks HIGH.

[lossiemouthden]

love Camel hear them on my show on Elgin Radio online Friday nights

[misspeanutbutter83]

wow..this music is out of this world!

[horrorflesh]

Stunning!. Nuff said.

[jolleyjames13]

Words cant describe how good this is !

[icedangel61]

lots of emotion involve in his playing

I remember he was crying in one of his concert while playing

[FLY2204]

One of the best, after David Gilmour in my opinion, but very underrated :( but fans know :)

[McAloonzebra]

Great posting! Andy Latimer is just fantastic -- music drips from his fingers. Never any noise or filler, this man just can't help but write great tunes.

[uglywhat]

FANTASTIC!!

[Avicamel]

We all have to pray for Andy's health! does someone know any update since last one from may?We worry so much ...

[mylisa07]

I wish I knew myself. If You got the on-line news letter ,it stated that he was responding to the marrow transplant quite well,but then had a bit of a relapse. I did see in wikipedia that as of erlier this year he was back to feeling better and even hoped to try and tour again. Let's hope it all comes together. He is a god in my book. Nobody plays like him. He brings goose bumps to your skin and tears to your eyes.

[mylisa07]

As of September , he is doing fine and the news was posted on the camelproductions web-site. His wife says there isn't a day that goes by where he doesn't have a guitar in his hands. He tries to do more than he should she says and suffers from stiffmess in his hands. Other than that it is very positive news after what he had to go through. I can just imagine what tunes he has already come up with in the last year of his recovery. Cheers and god bless andrew. You are one of a kind.

[44Alberto]

What a feeling! And what an underrated guitarist!

[fbuscaroli]

i found this video yesterday. until now, i've been playing it at least twenty times and i can't get enough! Andy Latimer can't really be compared with anyone else on earth. Unique.

[MadGriffith]

Andy, you're incredible.

[heiroo69]

sublimissime Andy is a great guitarist

[tamyarello]

It´s been more than a month since the last newsletter. Susan, tell us something! How is Andy going? We play his music every day.

[swill1966]

Andy IS the man... how come hardly anyone else seems to know this?

[DanishPastry]

I poke myself in the eyes everytime I see the lists of greatest guitarists. Everytime - Slash, Angus Young, Kirk Hammett but NO Andy? Not that I don't like those guitarists, they make great solos, but can't even begin to compete with Andy at skills

[whisky2roxy]

Because the people who put those "greatest" lists usually don't know jack about music, and prog musicians always get shortchanged.

BTW, "slash"...wasn't he one of those guns n roses characters? Those are the kind of clownish posers that contributed to the downfall of great rock.

[DanishPastry]

I actually think Guns 'n' Roses sparked at least some hope. Sure, Slash wans't a great technitian, be he made good and cathcy solos. But he's nowhere near Andy.

[dennoow]

Andy isn't very technical either. I think Slash might even be more technical but Andy has the best note choice ever and his vibrato and bends just bring tears in my eyes everytime. He's certainly the one that moves me the most!

[Snitsie]

Camel's Chord Change is pretty complicated i think. I think he does have better technique than Slash, Slash relies solely on his sound.

[dennoow]

I wouldn't underestimate Slash. I really don't think Chord Change is harder than Sweet Child O' mine or November rain techniquewise. Latimer is playing over harder changes, Slash mostly plays in one key and it gets a bit boring because his lick vocabulary consist of mostly pentatonic bluesrock stuff with a little harmonic minor thrown in there whereas Latimers note choice is way more inspired. But slash has got a decent technique for what he's doing. (he's no Greg Howe of course).

[Snitsie]

Don't misunderstand me, i like Slash. But his playing doesn't really require a lot of technique.

[dennoow]

Neither does andy's and I love him! that's the point I was trying to make. I think slash' vocabulary is rather limited to bluesy stuff whereas Latimer's note choice is more subtle. But techniquewise they both aren't monsters.

[Snitsie]

Can only agree with that.

[underoath115]

slash = november's rain and godfather live solo ..rest is more than shit an only noobs love slash offcourse who couldnt understand a decent note...slash an santana is for noobs only few songs made them famous..but speakin of greg howe:P oh well an tony macalpine ..dave martone ..slash can take advanced lessons with tony macalpine to improve

[dennoow]

Well Santana and Slash play tasty but simple licks bu I actually like their playing next to all the virtuoso's I listen to. Macalpine is awesome yeah. I'd prefer Greg Howe, Andy Timmons and Guthrie Govan but the're all awesome players.

[BenMolen]

@DanishPastry

Don't mind those ridiculous so-called guitar polls.Guitarists who got/get a lot of media attention score always high in those rankings. It's more about "The Most Famous Guitarist" than about the most gifted one. It's never about the Andy Latimers of this world. We all know that,don't we?

[1greatgray]

@DanishPastry No kidding DP-Crazy isn't it!Man can i relate!!

[camelandu2]

What a guitarist! Andy plays with pure emotion, that's why it sounds so unbeliveably great.

[Avicamel]

Dear Andy!We pray for your health!
