Camel

In 1984, when Camel performed at the iconic Hammersmith Odeon, they were riding the wave of their ever-evolving sound, marked notably by their album *Nude*, which had released just a year prior in 1981. This album explored the themes of war and loss, showcasing their knack for storytelling through progressive rock. What's fascinating about this live recording is that it features "Lady Fantasy," a classic track that had roots in their earlier work but resonated even more by 1984, as it captured the band's sophisticated and atmospheric style that fans adored. Plus, collectors might get a kick out of the fact that the footage includes previously lost video tracks, adding a layer of nostalgia to this already captivating performance. Hearing Andrew Latimer's insights during the brief interview afterward wraps a rich experience, doesn't it? You can really feel the connection with both the music and the moment in time.
