Beautiful Snow Goose was my initial introduction to Camel, and I first heard it on cassette tape whilst working in the marshland bordering Iraq and Iran in the mid-seventies. The theme was very relavant at the time, and it will stay with me forever.

Magistrales, para mí una de las mejores canciones de la historia

Get video. Brings back memories of seeing this excellent band live at Guildford Civic Hall in the mid 70's.

Great show, even if the video isn't in the best conditions...

certain parts of this song remind me of the who 

[davidfaubion]

flute and music in general can bring us sleep, too when sleep is an awakening to the rest that nurtures: the restive of a rebirth, momentary or millennial -- music shifts the gears of being, engages us into modes of reality, the ragas: scale modalities of our living -- music a miracle

[davidfaubion]

like whistling, flute grabs your attention and moves us into an awareness, an awake state; drums hold our attention and give it a sustained sense of continuity; keys and strings nurture and grow our attention into a greater, nuanced awareness of our being in relation to the wider universe -- the interplay of dissonance and consonance expands our consciousness in its work to understand the world/ universe.

[davidfaubion]

Camel's Snow Goose forms a cultural bridge to the programme music appeal of the Romantic era such as Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker, Grieg's Per Gynt Suite, and others, even classical and Baroque era works such as The Seasons by both Vivaldi and Haydn. Unify the genres of music and you make the genres more listener friendly -- we all gain much in this sharing of musical branches onto a greater tree of music.

this is strange ..i remember having a dream that Andy played a YAMAHA SG2000 about 28 years ago..but this is the only time i've seen him with one....
