Camel – Total Pressure Full Concert Live In Concert 1984 at Hammersmith Odeon
Venue: Hammersmith Odeon
Location: London, England, United Kingdom
Date: May 11, 1984
In May 1984, when Camel rocked the Hammersmith Odeon, they were riding the wave of their tenth studio album, "Stationary Traveller," released just a few months prior that same year. This album marked an intriguing turn for the band, incorporating notable elements of the emerging synth-driven sound while still showcasing their progressive rock roots. Interestingly, "Stationary Traveller" was a concept album, reflecting themes of travel and exploration, both sonically and lyrically, giving a fresh perspective to listeners. The live concert features "Total Pressure," which not only captures the essence of that long night in London but also highlights Camel's fluid blending of instrumental prowess and evocative storytelling. Alongside a rare interview with guitarist Andrew Latimer, this concert serves as a fascinating snapshot of Camel's career, revealing both their evolution and the enduring appeal that has kept fans coming back for more over the decades.
