Camel - Watching The Bobbins Live at Teatro Topázio, Belo Horizonte, Brazil
In March 2001, when Camel took the stage at Teatro Topazio in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, they were riding the wave of their comeback album, "A Nod and a Wink," which had been released in 2002, just a year later. This album marked a significant return to form for the band, blending their classic progressive rock roots with new influences and themes. Interestingly enough, this concert was part of a resurgence for Camel, as they had been on somewhat of a hiatus during the 1990s. The live recording features band's iconic instrumental prowess, with tracks that weave complex melodies and intricate arrangements, showcasing their ability to captivate an audience. The choice of venue, a historical theater in Brazil, adds a layer of intimacy and connection, making it a memorable moment for both the band and the fans. It’s fascinating to see how the passion for their craft transformed what could’ve been a fading legacy into a vibrant revival.
