Camel

Camel was in a pivotal phase of their career during the live recording at Hammersmith Odeon on May 11, 1984. Just before this concert, they released their album "Stationary Traveller" in 1984, which showcased a blend of progressive rock and new wave influences—an interesting evolution for the band that echoed the changing musical landscape of the time. What's captivating is that "Stationary Traveller" marks Camel's first foray into themes inspired by the world around them, touching on concepts of travel and exploration, literally and metaphorically. The live performance featured "Never Let Go," a piece that encapsulated the band’s signature blend of intricate melodies and rich harmonies. What’s particularly delightful is the inclusion of previously lost video tracks and a brief interview with Andrew Latimer in the recording, giving fans a glimpse into the band's dynamic during this transitional era. Isn’t it incredible how live music can preserve moments from an artist's journey?
