Camel

In September 1977, when Camel performed live at the Hippodrome in London, the band was riding the wave of their critically acclaimed album *Moonmadness*, which had been released just earlier that year. This album showcased Camel's unique blend of progressive rock, combining intricate melodies with lush soundscapes. Interestingly, *Moonmadness* was the band's final studio album to feature all of the original members, and it included fan favorites like "Spirit of the Water" and "Air Born". This live recording captures Camel at a pivotal moment, gathering momentum while they were still under the radar compared to their giants of the genre. The performance itself is a brilliant testament to their musical synergy, with Andrew Latimer's emotive guitar and Peter Bardens' atmospheric keyboards illuminating the show, making it a must-watch for fans. It’s riveting to think of how this concert also built the foundation for their cult following in the years to come!
