Camel

In September 1977, when Camel took the stage at the Golders Green Hippodrome for their live performance of "Lunar Sea," they were riding a wave of success following their album "Moonmadness," which had been released just a few months earlier in April. This album was a significant entry in their discography, showcasing their blend of progressive rock and intricate soundscapes. The live recording captures Camel at a vibrant point in their journey, highlighting not only their technical prowess but also the camaraderie among the band members like Andrew Latimer and Peter Bardens. Interestingly, "Lunar Sea" features a haunting instrumental arrangement that perfectly encapsulates the ethereal quality of their music, making this performance a memorable part of their live history. Fans of Camel often reminisce about how this era represented a turning point, solidifying their status as stalwarts of progressive rock.
