Camel - Metrognome

[Ps1c0]

A Live Record (1978) is, IMHO, easily one of the best live albums from all time! Camel in their best!

[420xhope]

ROFL

[brainofhomer]

sounds like the opening lyrics in this song is "cum on your hands"

[rematpac]

Groups like Rush your lucky to find a black and white clip from as late as 1976,yet this extraordinary unknown group Camel was smart enough to tape many concerts from the EARLY 70's.How did they pull this off?Who had the foresight to record all these classic performances that are still very unknown today?

[zackjp]

@rematpac yeah rush has 1 or 2 from before the carress or steel tour finding my way was one and fly by night and a couple likve shows but your right

[Noumenal1]

The album version sounds like The Moody Blues.

[Killensuen]

jazz fusion

[Sylvanranger]

@Killensuen Prog rock

[guitarsorrow]

goofy faces

but i fuking like this music

[sendanor]

Heyyy....it's Richard Sinclair from Caravan playing with Camel....you would almost say that Camel chose to turn on a "Caravan"-like musical coat for this song, it also sounds very much alike songs from Sinclairs other project  "Hatfield and the North"......

[skydaddy]

Next line: "High as a kite on a windy day." Draw your ow conclusions. But then, it was the '70's.

[jocovo84]

i always thought it was "time for a smoke...a pipe and a choke".

but hear it sounds like they're saying "a pint and a joke".

on the album, right after "a pipe and a choke", you can hear someone coughing in the background.

hmmmm....any thoughts?

[lossiemouthden]

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

[adnaruto25]

in 1977 on rain dances

de rien

[juanpcarvin]

what year is this?

[CharlesDoub]

i will "get" this album !

[Farweasel]

Its good but take a listen to their album 'Snow Goose' first, generally held to have the edge.

[CharlesDoub]

snow goose and moonmadness are precious albums, the best for me

[Farweasel]

No argument there ;-)

[Matshoppahulle]

Also listen to "Ice" and "Hymn to her" from I can see your house from here.

If you like saxophone,: "First lights" the great ending. also on Rain dances.

[Aristillus1]

Yo creo que cuando un tema te pone la piel de gallina o te hace temblar un poco, es porque es único e irrepetible. A mi eso me pasa con todos los temas de esta banda, que para mi fue, es y va a ser la mejor de la historia, y no solo del rock progresivo. No quiero cegarme por el fanatismo, pero es que los temas son especiales.

Larga vida a Camel y mis mayores deseos para Latimer de que se mejore.

[Aristillus1]

Dios!!! Q temazo! Me transmite algo q no lo puedo describir, pero se q es excelente. Lo malo es q muy poca gente conoce la banda. Espero q Andy se recupere pronto, y Dios lo ayude a que haga otra gira y visite la Argentina de vuelta. Como me gustaría haber nacido treinta años antes para disfrutarlos mejor!!!

[johnh23]

One of These Days I'll Get an Early Nite ..... the best by Camel.

[Britdrumphil]

There was a Brit band called Skye"??,I saw them once in England back between ermm 1974 and 78,they floored me.Never heard a thing from them since!

Anyone any info?

[mrplopplop]

yes mate it they were made up from lots of diff muso's the main one being John williams the classical guitarist who played cavatina the sound trac to the film the deer hunter !! thats all i know !!

[brie45]

Sky, they're an aussie band and made about 4 records with the same line up. All of the records are on cd now (look at Amazon)

[CarCarolBarol]

camel are the best..damn I don't find songs of them to download, it's killing me

[HaroldMD]

did for the music of the day.

[HaroldMD]

i just left the school that sinclair went to yeas ago. there isnt even like a plaque saying that him and other canterbury lads like ratledge

[dankton1976]

Richard Sinclair from Caravan and Hatfield and the North (from Canterbury scene). Listen to those bands - they did the ART. I guess Richard played for Camel just for the money. O.K. they made few nice tunes...

[sonycmt]

Andy Latimer is a great guitarist and songwriter. Underated and many people will not have heard of him

[abadlypackedkebab]

This is from a TV series called "Sight & Sound In Concert" shown in the UK in the 70s.

[bmeijs]

What a great singer Richard is. And my favorite Rain Dances song. Pity the quality is not perfect. Is there an official DVD from this or any other Camel concert of that period?

[sonycmt]

There are a few Camel DVDs available luckily. This comes from "Camel Footage". There's also "Camel Footage II" and a biog called "Curriculum Vitae".

[UxioNoceda]

I need hear "Rain Dances", the best song of Camel. Where is this song?.

[Hopspop]

GREAT song, thanks for posting - rarely seen band, ethereal music. Why do all concert film directors and videographers believe that bassists do not exist though?

Colin's bass line in Metrognome is driving and dominant, and he's wallpaper...

[beagle84]

I hope you mean Richard's bass

[snowgoose92]

Metrognome from Rain Dances. Really cool solo!

[beagle84]

agree myworms.. great voice!

[GuTFlesh]

very good band!

thanks for share this video!

[myworms]

I love Richard's voice.

[JIF882]

Me too! Too bad he was only in the band for 2 albums: Rain Dances, where this song comes from, and Breathless

[ytsename]

Tick Tock Tick tock. Thanx! great vid, keep'em comin'!
