Camel

In the live recording titled "Rhayader Goes To Town," captured in West Berlin on October 30, 1986, Camel was enjoying a resurgence in their career, having recently released the album *Pressure Points* in 1984. This album marked a notable shift in sound for Camel, incorporating a more polished production style and expanding their rock footprint. Interestingly, *Pressure Points* features instrumental tracks that showcase the band's unique blend of progressive rock and jazz influences, which they had honed over the years. By 1986, Camel was actively touring, and this live performance not only highlighted their ability to translate studio magic to the stage but also demonstrated their evolving sound to a dedicated fan base in Germany. It’s fascinating that Camel, often credited with pioneering the prog-rock genre, continued to push creative boundaries during this period while maintaining their characteristic nuance and emotional depth in their music.
