Camel - Never Let Go (proper album version)

[Ryu12543]

I learned the intro on guitar a little while ago. Would be nice if I could learn the whole song.

[joedumdum1999]

Always an IDIOT to dislike anything and everything- fortunately only 1 has made their way here.

[OlevBeers]

Kut opeth

[JasonFtwable]

kickass indeed i can say.. Oo

[ant6520]

well.... I just came here to here this kickass song....!

[FooFly089]

I'm so glad i haven't heard the Opeth version yet...Cause this is really Good!

[cheesydarkside]

opeth.. what? did they cover it or something? 

[almaholic]

wow. what an awesome track. just discovered this song today.

[MadcapMacabre]

Opeths tribute has more substance, not to mention being of a better quality production. But I was a fan of Camel and various other 70's prog rock outfits before I was even into Metal. I love their incorporation into Opeths sound.

[LordInferna]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggg­gggggghhhhhhhhhh CAMEL RULES !!!



[fredsik]

hate to say it, but the rip off version is better:(

[sbrollo89]

opeth are fu....n' scripts!

[phreestylesk8r]

this is amazing! thanks opeth

[NevermoreRules]

I love this band and this song, but those are some ugly dudes

[deeps25Nov]

forget the acoustic intro riff (which IMO sounds better than the Opeth "tribute")... the riff at 0:55 kicks everything else out of the park!! That's what everyone should be talking about!!

[lasoogneypubes]

@MeatCANDLE Of course it's not like Yes, Camel etc... They're a metal band.. None of those bands you mentioned are metal bands.. And I don't know why switching from acoustic to electric is a gimmick.. If you actually listened to Opeth you'd see that whether not there are switches from acoustic to metal the song is always changing. I don't know why you're being a pompous douche, Opeth is a good band and their progressiveness goes beyond switching from metal to acoustic.

[dharmaseed]

Um, who the heck is that at 0:55?!?

[ProcolHarum1967]

@dharmaseed An American band called Sopwith Camel.

[AveTarnkappe]

This is a great piece of music, though I must say that I much prefer Opeth's version of the start riff!

[Apache6667]

En fait y a pas de mots

[Apache6667]

De la musique comme on ne sait plus la faire . Intemporelle , indémodable

quasi mythique .

[Apache6667]

De la musique , encore de la musique , toujours de la musique

Indémodable , intemporelle .On peut encore entendre quelques artistes de talent .

Ouf !

[DiDijewellery]

If you like this check out Andy Ward's solo album Sticking Around. See andywardmusic (dotcom)

[tenhim]

mikael akerfeldt said : this is totaly riped off from a "camel" song that shows his respect to the artist !

OPETH FOR EVER !

[Lifewontwait29]

Like this if mikael akerfeldt is the reason why you checked Camel out and it was TOTALLY worth it =D

[ferdin12]

I love this song so much ....

[belfastclrq]

Man is born with the will to survive, he'll not take no for an answer.

[alicecooper19isback]

arriba Camel puro progresivo

[Lifewontwait29]

hey akerfeldt wasnt playing around about ripping off from camel ;) this song is amazing

[uatu2012]

@leftinruinsss @HoevdingBerseBolle @MathewTheRocker Thank's fella's I will definately checkout these album's & band's. It's just amazing to me how the really artistic band's don't really seem to get the recognition they deserve. Thank's!

[insidethefall78]

woah it's Benighted!

[pilsonisx]

this song is EPIC and guitar solo is cherry on top of the cake!

[uatu2012]

OMGoodness! This song is amazing! I was born in 72' and was heavily exosed to the hippy & biker culture's...I can't believe I've never heard of these guy's. Absolutely fantastic! Hey thnak's for posting this! Great music...indeed! Is there anyother great song's by Camel you would recomend?

[leftinruinsss]

@uatu2012 There are tons of great Camel songs, -i was born 73´ heavvily exosed to biker culture, music only -Davie Allan Arrows and such stuff, i´m glad i´ve jammed with the drummer of Camel last year.

[HoevdingBerseBolle]

@uatu2012 Check out these for a start..: Sasquatch, Drafted, Another night, Curiosity, Arubaluba, Stationary Traveller, Ice, Hymn to her, Dunkirk, West Berlin, Lunar sea. Surf the youtube for Camel!

[MatthewTheRocker]

@uatu2012 Well entire albums "Mirage" and "Moonmadness" kick ass! After that Camel went into more pop and mainstream music, some like it, some hate, but obvious is that first records were awesome :)

[dtjess3]

I have been a Dream Theater fan for 7 years and I can't believe it's taken me so long to get into this band!! I've always loved Damnation by Opeth and remembered Mikael commenting about being heavily influenced by Camel. I figured it was high time that I checked the band out. I am just amazed! Andrew Latimer is quickly becoming one of my favorite guitarists. I've yet to listen to a song by Camel that isn't just astonishingly beautiful. : )

[yesfan951]

Its a mystery why these guys never made it in the US

[davidfaubion]

The unplugged introit is firm and gentle, the cosmic no-force modulation: full stop with total modal shift: both are musicality that get the message into our head via our ear without a doubt: no margin -- then back to the introit and another crack in the cosmic egg -- the cutie-pie organ solo right after the first verse contrasts all and shows us our human silliness -- golden vocals and precise passion -- and this is merely one view of it: Never Let Go

[davidfaubion]

Oh, ah doth me heareth some Moody Blues in this tour de force-less-ness --which came first ? ah it mattereth not --'tis bliss to the ear -- over and over, version after version, from the spirit to the sky ... rebirth in this one, Camel

[davidfaubion]

@davidfaubion MBlues--The Voice --like, approx., roughly, at 4.36

[stiffaction]

I can see its inspiration in benighted.

This is a wonderful song and so is benighted by opeth.

I don't think its that exact to call it stealing.........but inspiration, definitely yes.

listen to time flies by porcupine tree, the whole song is somewhat inspired from pink floyd's dogs.........and there are plenty more examples as well.

But if this happens too often then its no longer inspiration or tribute........

[NanodagiardinoSuper]

pezzo da brivido!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[juanunderground]

I m very proud of being part of the 60s and 70s generation. Pure avant'garde that still is a gem o master piece. Some new generations are learning how to appreciate this because knowdledge and passion are transmitted from one age to another. Camel was a keystone as a group for me. It was very authentic and sincere and its search into its philosophy s rock. A progressive rock with tasty and class.

[xAsThePalacesBurnx]

Saw you benighted by your.... Oh wait

[fwfwfw]

I think this is one of the best things I've heard in a while, besides Lady Fantasy, The White Rider, Lunar Sea, Air Born, oh wait... there's just... Camel?

[Teigetje62]

Many thanks for uploading,

Is this version very different from the live performance?

[jeanmarie40]

so good !

[correcaminos24]

genial camel

[moimoiac]

one of the best band in this stupid World!

[alanboro]

@moimoiac I read "one of the stupidest band in this great world" and I said "why is this comment with 5 thumbs up?

then I paid more attention haha

[Drummr88]

All of you guys bashing Opeth are retarded.....

No, seriously, you're retarded.

It's brilliant musicians paying tribute to other brilliant musicians, and also earning them (Camel) new fans and recognition in the process. Stop being idiots please.

[killingismybusniess]

Mike from Opeth even said that camel is a big influence on him.

[Forever2rocks]

very good!!

[HoevdingBerseBolle]

Thanks for a proper studio version of this classic!

BTW, who are the guys pictured from 5:35 to 6:05 !??

[msa1985]

Oh Mikael, you shameless bastard.

[kurtbarrett14]

Me encanta tocar esta cancion en la Guitarra :D

[Deathshuck]

Love the album covers :d the camel is so funny.

[MrJoeysan]

this is just...i can't find any words. 15/5

[EternalTeaPot]

opeths benighted from there still life album sounds alot like this but the lead singer has stated that camel have been an influence in there work many times

[mellotrongirl]

I wonder why this gem never was released in the Sattes

[Newyorkischaos]

great stuff here...stoner friendly too

[FOTOCHOCK]

en mexico somos pocos los que sabemos de camel. pero son una banda genial .

[MEPG75]

ME UNO A LOS POCOS QUE CONOCEN A CAMEL

[libertis21]

respect! some people are born to became heroes!

[soopahsoopah]

The definitive camel tune :)

[humzahh]

You Know, They have had great songs, but this and Sasquatch are THE best, including the vocalist. he just makes me cry at times..... ah the good times.

[Shashkoila]

This is my favorite Camel song. Not because of the music, they've created better tunes, but because of the message of this song.

They're just so right.

[Lordseverin]

I love how Opeth makes a tribute to this song in "Benighted"

[knumorvid]

@Lordseverin you mean like....stealing?

[Lordseverin]

@knumorvid

no. it's obvious it's a tribute. Mikael Åkerfeldt himself has stated many times that he's a huge fan of Camel.

[knumorvid]

@Lordseverin so if I'm a huge fan of Dream theater that means I can steal half of their opening riff of Dark eternal night and call it a tribute? AWESOME!

[Lordseverin]

@knumorvid

in theory. why steal something that is so obvious? It's like stealing a famous painting and wearing it around your neck as a necklace. it's idiotic. Opeth didn't steal the composition. "Benighted" is a completely different song. Sounds to me your logic is blinded by some kind of irrational dislike towards Opeth and you're trying to hide it with weird claims of plagiarisms.

[knumorvid]

@Lordseverin NO, actually I like Opeth, and the claim isn't weird; it IS stealing...You can't just call it something else just because you're an Opeth fan...

[HoosierMF]

@Lordseverin It's not obvious because Camel aren't well known. Opeth may have done it in tribute but they haven't stated it on the album so it is stealing.

[6whatman9]

@HoosierMF man are you trying to tell me you think all art can be original? You birth a child in the woods, leave it there alone its whole life and see what music it comes up with. What opeth did was take a few intro notes and build an entirely new song with only a similar mood to the intro and its part of a concept album completely unrelated to this.

tell any medium author that their story of 2 lovers persecuted is stolen and they'll laugh. camel is built upon. thats art. opeth showed me camel

[HoosierMF]

@6whatman9 Yes I am. Opeth basically sampled this song. I hope Camel get royalties

[Intotheorchard]

@HoosierMF Dumb dumb dumb dumb.

[HoosierMF]

@Intotheorchard Judging by your profile it's looks it's you who's dumb. Plagiarism cases have been won with less than this.

[Intotheorchard]

@HoosierMF I like how you think Camel owns the two chords that make the songs similar. You sir are dumb.

[raff2112]

@Lordseverin not same modes not same patterns ur fuckin def...

[Severindk87]

@raff2112 there is no reason for such an aggressive comment...

[lasoogneypubes]

@raff2112 Dude Akerfeldt said himself that he ripped this riff off. Listen to Benighted right after this.

[Gizim12]

wonderful :)

[lefkaskogkas]

im 21 years old.. and my father has some discs of them.... i really like them! i wish i could live back in those years.... alll band 's music was great

[MyArseYourMouth]

ah... the good old times.

[kolipolov]

No problem dude! Cheers :)

[elfhara]

you won't believe it but your post made me realize this piece in a different way.

my god, ferguson delivers. this bass player can't be real.
