Sorry but if your as dull as dishwater people will chat over you, im sure the guys are good musicians but there has to be more than streached jumpers and nil personality these days come on guys
I have recorded the whole thing Camden live in 24bit and 96hrtz, sounds good! will let u know where u can find it once its mixed and has cover/artwork
Been there, watched them performing and loved them. Unlike some people in the audience, I did not talk to anyone, drink an alcohol or scream and shout.I listened very carefully, because I knew there won't be another chance to go back to 1970s. If you ask me, I had a great time and the band played very well, even after 40 years! I'm only 20 and this was my first experience with progressive rock live and surely a great lesson.
@nololob hey thats realy cool! my father played me them when i was about 16 and i said to him can u fast foreward to the heavy parts lol, but now i love the albums very much :)
My appreciation of a band is shown by a) Buying a ticket b) Buying merch c) Applauding the band at the END of each song (this may include the odd whoop or yehaaa) and not by some loudmouth telling the vocalist to "turn the vocals up" (he could have been heard by all if it wasn't for the volume coming out of the mouth of the requester. I attend 100's of gigs per annum and travel hundreds of miles to see bands not to listen to drunken twats bellowing all night. I also have plenty of hair !!
@rustyclanger, indeed if your idea of enjoying a gig is chatting and screaming throughout spoiling the enjoyment and listening pleasure of many others, then clearly we don't belong in the same audience. I prefer listening to the band performing rather than calling attention to my own childish, selfish behaviour.
@canterburyscene totally agree with you - this was a great historic gig - please post more songs if you have them to remember a great night from a truly magical band. They were remarkably good - Angus Cullen has still got a great voice and stage presence - great keyboards from Peter Jennings. They made to great albums - only mystery is whereas similar bands like Argent Caravan etc sold lots of records - Cressida remained on the fringes. Still lovely to see them
@ canterburyscene and Stoaty123 I think it's called "atmosphere" and "excitement", not "screaming" and "shouting"! I was very impressed with the gig and had a fantastic night, the crowd was very appreciative of the band and the band showed that they still had the spirit of 70-71 in them! (didn't you notice the big smiles on their faces and sheer enjoyment?) Perhaps you both should have left the cars (and the misses) at home, had a few drinks and let ya hair down, if you still have hair that is?
@rustyclanger The "atmosphere" and "excitement" was spoiled by them! What's the point of shouting during something like Spring '69? (Before you ask, I'm 19 and mostly go to extreme metal concerts. There's a place and time for everything, and that wasn't it.)
Great gig anyway! Never thought I'd be able to see Cressida live - funnily enough, though, I ended up seeing them again the next day when they replaced Comus at Cathedral's last show. Nice to meet them afterwards as well.
Stoaty123 - agreed, this was one of the worst gigs I've been to in this respect. The surprising thing was that the most annoying people (constantly talking or, as you say, screaming like madmen) seemed to be devout fans. Perhaps the amount of beer consumed beforehand ?
It was a great gig but certain audience members were bloody annoying by talking and shouting during the performance. I paid to see the band not to listen to them bellowing all night !!

@rustyclanger
this was a wonderful gig almost spoilt by some joker whooping directly behind me and ruining it for others - don't understand it -
