Camel

In 1984, when Camel took to the stage at the iconic Hammersmith Odeon for their live recording of "Drafted (Total Pressure)," the band was riding high on a wave of creative momentum. Just a year prior, they released "Stationary Traveller," an album that marked their return to the studio after a break. This album showcased a blend of their hallmark progressive rock sound with a touch of art rock, reflecting the evolving music landscape of the '80s. Interestingly, during this concert, the presence of missing video tracks—once thought lost—adds a layer of mystique to the performance. The brief interview with Andrew Latimer offers a glimpse into the band's journey and his thoughts during this vibrant period. Camel’s blend of poignant melodies and detailed musicianship certainly left an indelible mark on that night in London, capturing the essence of a pivotal moment in their career.
