Camel - Snow Goose Excerpts

[TarzanyJaneBlog]

Una música maravillosa!!

[gerardo180685]

CAMEL HACE Q MI DIA SEA DISTINTO, Q MI PERSEPCION SEA DISTINTA. DESDE Q CONOCI A CAMEL MI VADA YA NO ES LA MISMA...

[alphazero06]

good enough english to describe it

[artandsoul69]

OGWT, the best TV show ever!

[shaharfrydman]

A shame they spent their time on Rhayader Goes to Town... both Fritha and Flight of the Snow Goose are way better.

This album is one of my first rock loves. Beautiful music.

[JoaoMaiaAP9]

fantástico !

[deangur]

what's the name of the first song they play? I tried looking up and couldn't find it

[Chickenlovercamp]

@deangur its the titel track of the album: the snow goose. it even says it in the desciption :)

[shaharfrydman]

@deangur The Snow Goose

[darwindunn]

you re watching prog royalty

[being719]

camel's melody seems a fairy tale picture books.

one of musicians said so.

anyway, rich & warm guitar tone is real kindness.

thanks for posting!

[klantic2]

Awesome stuff.  I'm just learning about the band. Great work!

[pzyco100]

One of my favorite groups plus Marillion :)))

[Chickenlovercamp]

i want a moog

[PhillipNicewaner]

Man, Latimer sets my mind on fire.

[siemion73]

only

CAMEL, PINK FLOYD, MARILLION, QUIDAM



[pythag123]

@siemion73 yeah, Marillion for sure.

[MrSayItRight]

Timeless!

[TheEpicImpaler]

I wish I could see more of Andy Ward from 4:46 to 5:47

HE'S A BEAST ON DRUMS!

[aldosara]

Great!

[Creotaur]

Love IT =}

[myway43]

Iconic guitar tone!

[krzysztofciba]

Just fantastic. It was my first encounter with Camel music long, long time ago.

[dago3336]

Dioses 

[FelinePhysics]

Does anyone know wat amp/effects andy was using for The Snow Goose album?

[Tobaccula]

The band that musicians listen to.

[dontspongeoffofme]

I was the largest YES fan in my neighborhood in the early 70's. I took so much criticism for listen to YES all the time. I heard Moon Madness on an FM Station and loved it. Borrowed my buddies LP and never looked back. There are only 2 YES songs I can listen to these days, but for Camel, It never gets old. That's the real test. The test of time. (Finally got into Genesis and King Crimson later on).Allow me to add one more thing "Todd Rundgren's UTOPIA!!! 1974 Live!!

[Memera94]

[leosabioni]

The Old Grey Whistle Test !

I was born in a wrong time...

[Howardsend88]

@leosabioni you were not born in the wriong time, to know that you like this type of music is enough, i was lucky enough to have been around when it was played live on the o.g.w.t, i have this album in the attic, enjoy it all, regards from Dublin

[Sisyfos1000]

Just get my cool Rain Dances -T-shirt from the official Camel site. Sad that I had never change to see them alive. Such A Great Band!

[talons12345678910]

the snow goose is such a beautiful song. I can't believe it's not more famous.

[theSavageHippie]

Andrew Latimer is too good.

[TheEpicImpaler]

I swear to God, this song gave me a boner.

[Spleeni]

It amazez me how high these guys are, and still manage to play like that

[dosware]

What younger folks tend to forget is that some of us older (American) folks are just now noticing Camel as a extraordinary prog rock group from our youth. Camel got some...but not much US exposure back int he mid 70's. I recall hearing one of their songs once on FM radio and being blown away.. but try as I might, could not determine what album it was from...I forgot them for 30 yrs.

The Internet finally answered my question... I am amazed Camel never broke through in the US. A different era.

[anothercrusader]

I used to have the vinyl of Snow Goose. Great album to chill to. I saw them live at the ICA about 1972. They were great live "because they could play" would you believe. Peter Barden had really long fingers, a good trait in a keyboard man.

[iPwNooBs28]

lol i love it how he twists his arm with the button at the end :D

[mrcarpetride]

Music is about what you personally get off on ? Not what everyone else buys.

[mrcarpetride]

What has big got to do with brilliant ?

[xNaTthzx]

Like this if you searched "camel" out of boredom!

[2K9CON]

Like this if you searched "camel" out of boredom!

[leegeddyfan]

I modded my LP Classic like Andrew Latimer's with the black pickup rings and hopefully knobs soon

[brianpage100]

Wow, a band that exhibits artistic integrity performing on TV. Where have the times gone?

[rayray66]

opeth wannabes

[brammatie2]

@rayray66 HAHHAHA u serious? loool

[firepigg37]

@rayray66 ...Mikael Akerfeldt sites Camel as one of his biggest influences and thier album Moonmadness in particular. Wannabes? Dude, this is from 1975. Mikael Akerfelt was about 2yrs old fer fuck sake!

[dharmaseed]

@rayray66 Uh no, Opeth are Camel wannabes.

[pyrotas]

@dharmaseed Indeed, with all due respect, Camel play in a totally different league than Opeth. When they will be able to produce an *immense* masterpiece such as "The Snow Goose", they will have reached the level that Camel has achieved some good 30 years ago or more :)

[theSavageHippie]

@dharmaseed your mom is a camel wannabe

[theSavageHippie]

@dharmaseed your mom is a Camel wannabe

[erkjan]

@dharmaseed

are they?? they salute them with their music

[dharmaseed]

@erkjan I didn't mean that, it was more of a chronological remark. Camel could not be Opeth wannabes because Camel were around first.

[Big77Jim]

Is Andy Lattimer one killer guitarist or what?He can sound like David Gilmore at times but Camel's music is much more symphonic and much less driving and angery.

[LuisMotta100]

Camel? Really Amazing..... Nothing else to say.......

[weapon777]

Hugs form brasil! one of the greatest band of all time!

[phantom478]

Such a brilliant album.

[ReaIly]

Andrew Latimer is god tome.

[13pherkad]

Qué buenos son, qué buenos recuerdos. ¡Fantástico!

Qué bien sonaba en mi tocadiscos !!!

[Tamgeopose1988]

This is a great song, which kind of reminds me of a band I've heard a few days ago, Aperco. Hear the similarity: 

ǝǝɥɯ=ǝɹnʇɐǝɟ¿puɐqoɔɹǝdɐ/ɹǝsn/ɯ­oɔ˙ǝqnʇnoʎ˙ʍʍʍ//:dʇʇɥ

[kevin1244]

Latimer taking to school masters of Blues guitar here...simply wow!

[spindles72]

Class!



[Yomen38]

it looks like KISS! Juste joking, I dont listen to kiss.

[TheUnfindlableSongs]

HAHA there's someone here trying to compare Van Halen with Latimer? Kids, be patient with our new fella, he's now discovering ROCK. Time will tell him.

[PhillipNicewaner]

@TheUnfindlableSongs: Brilliant, man. Van Halen wasn't bad, but there is no comparison to Latimer. The label "musical genius" comes to mind.

[MrRBenicio]

Yes. This must be a joke... Latimer is by far much better than Van Halen.

[Xeusssss]

Watching this video is like finding an old artifact for me. I wish I was born in 50s' England and listen Camel live when me and them were young.

[bgarrad69]

Finally found it !!! this is some of the music me and my mates used to listen to, while bombed out of our heads on acid when we were in the 6th Form. If only I could go back to the 70's *sigh*

[GuitarIsMyWife]

2:19

i think he is get orgasm from his self

[Pibbs1]

Very very underestimated band! Great stuff !!

[whotaughtyou]

TINSEL SURGERY CLASS A DRUGS

[cjgone2]

I love this band and I love progressive rock.

[Progwatcher]

Magic, not many bands like this about anymore, there are some top acts still flying the flag Flower Kings, Dead heroes Club, Pendragon etc but what with Simon Cowell & the gang music like this is a dying art :(

[johnnykawakid]

fantastic band, saw them in the 70s, 7 times, each time blew my mind, dont think any of the new bands could compete with the 70s prog bands, they used to play live all the time thats the reason they became so good playing together, elp,crimson,camel,caravan,rush­,tull,moodys, fantastic stuff,

[doobryfingy]

If you like "Camel" you might like to check out the "Ozric tentacles"....A sort of psycadelic pink floyd but have talent......check out a track called "Sunscape"....they play ...not just make a row.

[siemion73]

Andy... And....Everythng is Easy

[charvelgtrs]

You can bet your ass Opeth was heavily influenced by this band.

[edonotokyo]

@charvelgtrs what would you suggest for Opeth as a first time listener

[charvelgtrs]

@edonotokyo

Damnation and Watershed.

[MulusParagon]

@edonotokyo Blackwater Park



[KingCrimson94]

@charvelgtrs mikael says that Ending credits is a Camel rip

[MrStratoManu]

Simplemente orgasmico....

[PlottingMax]

simply orgasmic

[imix23]

Una de mis canciones ¡¡¡favoritas!!! gran banda Camel!!!!!

[cjgone2]

Haven't heard this album yet, ughh. Mirage is amazing; I need to get this sometime soon.

[willa4you]

34 people around the world will never know what is beautiful...

[AndyinMokum]

@willa4you. Too right!!

[Buziwuziify]

Why haven't I heard of this band sooner man? :O

[moonzel]

CAMEL *****

[MrHistorian123]

This session wasn't helped because the studio lights were very hot and put Latimer's Strat slightly out of tune during Rhayader goes to Town, but the BBC hadn't time to re-record it.

[nastynategreenlotus]

why is each version different

[Pibbs1]

Incredible band and songs!!! These guys were so damn good, and way ahead of their time !!

[combroism]

I'm speechless !! why nowadays is difficult to find music like this?? so genius!

[thomaspurbeck]

I've been grinning all the way through this. I had the album at school and it's is the first time I've heard this for thirty years!

Other commentators here are right that anything like this would be laughed at in the music industry nowadays. Gotta say though, the woodwind arpeggio bit in the middle is straight out of Midsomer Murders.

[NealParadies]

boah, that's amazing, what doesn't amazes me is, that bands like camel wouldn't have a chance to become really famous nowadays, becuase of the music industry....it's extremely hard for good bands like 'The Grand Green' that still play this kind of classic psychedelic rock to become big, but i have still the hope that real music will come back one day :)

[BG4NYC608]

@NealParadies all too true my friend

[50chispita]

@NealParadies Para ti, no mas decirte que The Camel ya vino a México y son mas de 30,C.D y 15 DVD sigue disfrutando de tu musica de parchis y todo esa misicade plastico

[Retrox13]

@NealParadies Well I have some good new for you look up the band graveyard they formed in 05 but they sound like the 60's and 70's stuff it's groovy stuff.

[garfieldingeniero]

A real band of 70's amazing music

Saludos desde el DF Mex.

[Pollosaurio3000]

@garfieldingeniero son muy buenos! no entiendo como tanta gente tacha de locos,satanicos y drogadictos a artistas como estos, y prefieren educar a sus hijos con canciones sobre sexo facil y perdicion.

soy de Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico

[luiscambau]

it's kind of VERY BORING MUSIC SHAPE

but i like some Camel's track,but to say that this guitar is better than van halen is not even KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS TALKING ABOUT

[ragenlove93]

@luiscambau Well at first, to compare van halen with camel, It is know nothing about music, maybe when you'll get more sensitive to music, u will understand that is not necesary to be fast for being a Great musician, example: Eric Clapton

[MrHistorian123]

@luiscambau

Van Halen's OK if you like that kind of guitar playing. Yes, he's derivative and formulaic but he gets round the fretboard quickly and with decent accuracy. However, that alone doesn't make him great.

Really great guitarists like Latimer evoke mood and emotion. They know EXACTLY when to play a note and how long to hold it for. Latimer can shred as well as anyone if he chooses to (he used to) but, unlike you, he knows there's more to guitar playing than speed or technique.

[Adamboms]

Doug Ferguson got deleted from wikipedia! he had a page and now he doesn't. the hell is this crap, something needs to be done about this now!

[MericusHtwtchka]

refreshing versus other forms of rock, or trance and rave. Reminds me all my old Camel albums are back in Michigan. each style of guitarist is different but some unlike Eddie van Halen or even Joe Satriani at least play the notes they intend to without slurring or not picking individual notes. Yngwie Malmsteen is similar though he uses a different form in his rock as well. Another once known is the band Curved Air similar to Camel but making music a decade earlier.

[cruzvidart]

es muy bueno!!!!!

[Entity79]

It's criminal that Andy Latimer isn't more well-known. This is a good example of how you don't have to play as fast as Eddie Van Halen or Joe Satriani to be a great guitar player. Too many players try to be the lead instead of playing as a group.



[PerfectSense3]

@Entity79 and who tells you that to be well know is something better or something that he wanted?

[zackjp]

@Entity79 I agree also you can play as fast as you an but if there is no feeling then it's what you call deathmetal and we'll that music makes me wanna kill myself it's just sad but then again top 40 ....but anyway another good guitarist who puts feeling in there riffs is alex lifeson from rush or steve hacket from genesis(early genesis peter gabrial days) all have feeling and play as a band not to show off

[jcast18k]

@zackjp before saying shit about Death Metal, talk about Pop, Rap, and all that bullshit... There are very talented progressive death metal bands like Opeth.

[gzp303]

anyone whome names themselves after a brand of ciggs is not right in the head, hope you like a bit of Camel.

[ja777tom]

Greatest Rockband

[greggome]

any one know how to contact BrunoSamppa? he had posted some awsome camel performances that have been removed from you tube.

[nickwin207r]

I LOVE TO LISTEN HIS PLAYING..THE MAN IS THE BEST GUITARIST I EVER HEARD

[911WereWolf]

why music got corrupted so bad these days?

is it me or camel is true music and what we have now is only ashes?

[louisebakalik]

We all love and have Andy in our prayers. I miss them all.

[nick40nick40]

one more brilliant moment for me...

[stifado1001]

Best prog rock band



[nick40nick40]

sorry for the second comment...just can't stop listening....

[nick40nick40]

just respect! I feel out in space!

[skiingrhino]

Nicely Done !

[siemion73]

Salut!

[huanalvertocandanga]

de Camel, recomendadisima para dar un buen gallo bandera, buen progresivo me cai de madres

[dososcars]

simplemente FANTASTICO 

[tmkhalifa]

always great since i knew them 1987 ..... diving dob and their music in the red see i ll never forget how i had wonderful time in their sprite of music

[Meavis93]

I always feels sorry for myself when I take the longest to set up because Im the drummer but Im just glad Im not the Keyboard player in this !! :/ gotta love modern technology - it beats carrying round 4/5 huge electric pianos!!! :P

[comsky159]

Another reason why the 70's kicks ass!!

[barrytskinner]

looks like I'll be spending a lot of money for Camel cd's.

[pobrerocker]

capusotto tocaba en camel????

[apozaicer]

a 33 personas les gusta justin bieber

[reyreydeluna]

Peasooo tema de CAMEL, aún en los años 80 era un temasooo y un clasico para siempre. YA HOMENAGE A CAMEL.

[reyreydeluna]

Peasooo tema de CAMEL, aún en los años 80 era un temasooo y un clasico para siempre. YA HOMENAGE A CAMEL. POR ESA HISTORIA MUSICAL...

[FvsFvsFromAntartica]

he is making love with his guitar.

[TheDaylilylover]

dude how have i not heard of this band that was AMAZING

[MaggotBrain123]

Latimer = legend

[ragenlove93]

8:15 I started to cry.

[nomorestoriestoday]

this is so awesome

[markoctavio]

Whe i heard Camel for the first time, i fall in love very deeply into music...

[aboo3413]

This would sound badass if you didn't change a god damn thing....

[rts100x5]

zzzzzzzz

[Cactusrocha]

@rts100x5 - Huga - Monga

[nick40nick40]

there is no reason to comment, just to say masterpiece piece, off their best album on a fantastic live performance!!!

[alvicious]

this would sound badass if covered by zakk wylde

[exphp]

Wonderful. Probably the best melodic rock (and no, that's not an insult) you will ever hear. The wind section is a bit cringeworthy on listening now, but the band were fantastic at this time. Andy Ward's drumming is great, Andy Latimer's guitar playing excellent, and how we mourn the great Peter B. I watch loads of stuff on YT but remembering seeing this on OGWT and being amazed all those years ago I nearly always play this as the last clip before I go to bed.

[sheugh1]

what a great band . Saw them a couple of times in 1975 in St.Albans, Herts. Note perfect each time!

[janthemetal6]

possibly the most awesome thing i have ever seen!

[BohemianConspiracy]

to be very honnest i'm one of the few who is not a fan of this album... their 2nd lp...their fourth their fifth and even their sixth (breathless) gives me much more pleasure to listen to... ...I've listen to Snow Goose just 2 times...it's probably not enough... maybe that a third time will at last deliver some of his hidden treasure... after all this song seems quite enjoyable

[Adamboms]

@BohemianConspiracy look up excerpts from the snow goose and watch the third video that comes up, different song list than this one and if it doesn't make you love this album

i don't think anything will

[theSavageHippie]

Sometimes I dream myself back to these days.. I wish was young then and not now.

[Adamboms]

@theSavageHippie me too man, me too

[Gruntol5]

@theSavageHippie : Great comment. Love it!

[elsloolimburg]

CAMEL did a live gig in UTOPIA - Elsloo, Netherlands on 29.03.1975

[ppmarchante]

Anybody knows what flanger pedal Andy uses?

[rosepearljanis]

beautiful-luv this band!

[elviss]

My friends prefered the Snow Goose for bunning it out to but I loved Mirage a tiny bit more. Then egg and bacon sarnies! Snow Goose is amazing though.. still.

[huskym6]

damned right.. I remember the first time i heard "snow goose".. it put chills down my back, one of the rock Treasures.. of all time.. :)

[joeyhage]

song is magical

[Jannighzzo]

Somebody have the entire video? *:*

[ShakimMcCollum]

so gnarly. but u know he was high

[TheLisoun]

que de longues soirées passées a ecouter camel avec des grosses cigarettes mal roulées on finisait par les voir les oies sauvages

[floorspeed]

who the feck can do that with a guitar. honestly pink fluff is more like it

[floorspeed]

32 people dislike real music

[joeyhage]

@floorspeed their trollin

[ZodiacLung1972]

I am convinced that I grew up too late. I would have loved to be into this as a teen in the early 70's.

[nospeedlimit73]

wow, the guitar playing is phenomenal! so dreamy, where's my spliff? ;^)
