Camel

In early 1976, Camel was riding the wave of their growing prominence in the progressive rock scene. Prior to the live recording of "Skylines," the band had released their critically acclaimed album "The Snow Goose" in 1975, which is often considered one of their seminal works. The live performance captured in the video originates from the "Moondances" concerts that showcased the band's dynamic sound featuring intricate guitar work by Andrew Latimer, atmospheric keyboard arrangements by Peter Bardens, and a solid rhythm section with Andy Ward on drums and Richard Sinclair on bass. This period marked a peak in Camel's creative output, and they were known for their engaging live performances that blended technical proficiency with emotive rock. "Skylines" exemplifies the band's ability to create haunting melodies and complex compositions, capturing a significant moment in their evolution as a leading act in progressive rock.
