Camel

In 1984, when Camel performed at the Hammersmith Odeon, their latest studio album was "Stationary Traveller," released earlier that year. This album marked a significant point in the band's career as they navigated a shift towards a more accessible sound, blending progressive rock with pop influences. The performance captured in the live recording of "Total Pressure" showcased the band's continued evolution, featuring key tracks from "Stationary Traveller." Notably, the concert included footage that had been lost for years, adding historical significance to the recording. Additionally, Andrew Latimer's brief interview included in the footage provides insight into the band's creative process during this transitional phase. Camel's ability to maintain a dedicated fanbase through transformative periods in their music speaks to their resilience and the depth of their artistry.
