Camel

In 1984, Camel was riding a wave of creativity and evolution, having just released their album "Stationary Traveller" a year prior. This record marked a shift in their sound, blending progressive rock with new wave influences, a reflection of the changing music landscape at the time. The live performance at the iconic Hammersmith Odeon on May 11, 1984, showcases Camel at a transformative moment—perfectly merging their established sound with fresh ideas. Interestingly, this concert includes footage that had been lost in archives, further emphasizing the historical significance of the performance. The interview with Andrew Latimer provides a glimpse into the band’s mindset during this creative period, revealing their dedication to artistry and exploration in a constantly evolving music scene. Camel's evolution during this phase not only broadened their audience but also solidified their legacy as a pioneering force in the progressive rock realm.
