Ah - the geezers can STILL rock! This is so wonderful - from an era when the music scene was all about MUSIC - and not just fashion and hype. Still have all of their albums in Virgin plastics. My son doesn't even know how a turntable works, but I never got rid of my vinyl. Got it all, Caravan, Soft Machine, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Genesis, Gentle Giant, Camel, Tangerine Dream, Gong, Eno, Camel, Hatfield & The North, Van der Graaf Generator - and I grew up in the American South - strange, huh?
Oops - forgot to mention National Health - yes, I've got the first one, "National Health" (1977). However, I don't have the better one (by most accounts), "Of Queues and Cures." I'll have to sit down and have a listen to re-familiarize. Can it really be over three decades since that one was put out? Okay, God, you can take your finger off of the fast-forward button anytime now.
awesome band personify the word UNDERATED "land of grey and pink up there with dark side of the moon for musicianship !!!! thanks for posting and long live caravan !!!!!!!!
Its such a shame that doug has left, as he is clearly on of the most talented guitarists in the world today. All of these guys are the most talented poeple around. My aim is to bring back the age of great musicianship.
Now doug has left (we assume is not returning) it will be great to see pye take up some more lead guitar roles, as he is more than able.
fantastic.Drove for miles, nearly missed the gig, couldnt find the school in norfolk! itlogap has given me and continues to give me much pleasure. One of my all time favourite albums. Thanks.
Give us the DVD details please! Love this song and this band - they are prog-tastic. Of course, this is a re-made Caravan, but thanks so much for posting this. ITLOTGAP was, no is, one of the best prog albums of all time. RIP Pip.
Hey, thanks for posting this. This is the line-up I saw a couple of years ago. It would be great if someone could post some footage from the '90s when they had the original lineup with Richard Sinclair on bass & his brother (David?) on keys. I like the young session guy on guitar, but the most enthusiastic performance here seems to be the spoons solo! Pye trys hard with the vocal but it was Richard's song after all.
The you session guy you refer to is Doug Boyle, who has been a full member of Caravan for a number of years. However, he has recently moved on to do other things, a decision made while the band are on hiatus, awaiting Richard Coughlan's return to full health. BTW - Doug was lead guitar in Robert Plant's band during his "Manic Nirvana" period.
a perfect performance from a perfect band

There are not bands like this one anymore. Along with Camel and Van der graaf generator they were the progressive lords. Peace

It's comforting to see one of alltime favorite bands from the 70's still have it in spades.
