All in one night,I have found, Seventh Wave, Skin Alley, Triumverate, Zappa, and now Caravan. These were my main Staples musically as i grew up. This is the best music out there and it is already forty years old. This piece by Caravan challenges anything currently. It is a shame that musicians of this caliber have been dismissed to the back pages of music. Just the vocal round at the end is worth a standing Ovation and they did it while playing their instruments. Thanks YouTube.
I seem to have grown up on a very similar diet! The second 'proper' album I bought was Skin Alley's 'To Pagham and Beyond' (The first was ELP's 'ELP') The first band I saw was Soft Machine supported by Egg at St Thomas's Hall in Canterbury, and Caravan one of my favourite bands. Ah, happy daze! Then punk came along...
@MahakalaZero Yeah. For me, it's up there with "Young Girl" by Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, and "Everyone's Gone To The Movies" by Steely Dan. Surprising how many songs that cover such a taboo topic turn out to be so good.
My Favourite Band, always a pleasure to hear them.....and what memories !

A terrific song, probably their best by a band whose qualities are not as widely appreciated as they should be.
