In February 1978, when Camel performed "Breathless" in Madrid, they were in a pivotal moment of their career, as they had just released their sixth studio album, also titled *Breathless*. This album marked a significant transition for the band, as it was their final release featuring original keyboardist Peter Bardens, who had been a crucial part of their sound since their formation in 1971. The integration of Bardens’ distinct style enriched the band’s progressive rock approach. Interestingly, the *Breathless* album showcased a shift towards a more melodic and accessible sound compared to their previous works, reflecting both the band's evolution and the changing landscape of rock music at the time. This live recording, performed shortly after the album's release, underscores Camel's ongoing commitment to delivering captivating performances and their adaptability in the ever-evolving music scene of the late 1970s.
