Caravan

In April 1972, when Caravan performed live at the Festival de la Rose d'Or de Montreux, they were enjoying a productive phase after the success of their album "Waterloo Lily," released in 1972. This live performance showcased the band’s signature blend of progressive rock and jazz influences, which characterized their style during this period. “Waterloo Lily” marked a shift as it was the first album without founding member David Sinclair, yet it maintained the group’s eclectic sound. The Montreux concert is particularly notable as it reflected their energetic presence and synergy as a live act, featuring key members such as Pye Hastings and Richard Sinclair. Furthermore, the performance is often remembered for its improvisational spirit, which Caravan embraced, thereby solidifying their reputation as skilled live performers in the progressive rock scene.
