Camel - 'Rhayader / Rhayader Goes to Town' Live Performance at Hammersmith Odeon

Venue: Hammersmith Odeon Location: London, England, United Kingdom Date: May 11, 1984

In May 1984, during the performance at the Hammersmith Odeon, Camel was in a transitional phase of their career. This live recording comes shortly after the release of their studio album "Dust and Dreams," which was launched in 1991 before the live concert but reflects a period of resurgence for the band following earlier challenges in the early 1980s. The concert showcases songs from their earlier works, indicating their ability to blend progressive rock with new influences, a hallmark of Camel's enduring style. Notably, this concert was part of a broader live album release, "Total Pressure," capturing the band's atmospheric sound and intricate compositions that they are known for. The lineup for this performance also highlights the inclusion of talented musicians like Ton Scherpenzeel and Richie Close on keyboards, adding depth to Camel’s rich sound during this live set.
