Camel

Camel was riding a significant wave in their career around the time of the live recording at Hammersmith Odeon on May 11, 1984. This performance features the iconic "Lady Fantasy" and is part of the album *Pressure Points: Live in Concert*, released the same day. Before this, they had found their footing with *The Single Factor* in 1982 and were solidifying their presence in the progressive rock scene. Interestingly, this live album captured not just their musical prowess but also the robust energy of their performances, showcasing their ability to connect with audiences in a way that studio recordings sometimes miss. It's worth noting that Andrew Latimer, the band's guitarist and vocalist, played a pivotal role in the sound that fans loved, combining lyrical melodies with intricate guitar work. Camel's live performances during this period were truly a testament to their status, blending technical skill with a captivating stage presence, and "Lady Fantasy" remains a fan favorite to this day.
