Camel

In May 1984, Camel was riding high on the success of their album "Stationary Traveller," released just a year earlier. This album showcased a shift in their sound, weaving in a more modern style while maintaining their beloved progressive rock roots. The live recording at Hammersmith Odeon captures this energetic period perfectly; you can feel the band's chemistry and connection with the audience, a hallmark of their performances. Interestingly, "Total Pressure," featured in this concert, highlights Andrew Latimer's remarkable skill as both a guitarist and vocalist, bringing a unique emotional depth to their music. The footage is particularly valuable as it includes previously lost video tracks and a rare interview with Latimer, giving fans a peek behind the curtain of Camel's creative process. This live performance not only marked a significant moment in Camel's history but also served as a reminder of their enduring impact on the progressive rock scene.
