Camel

When Camel took to the stage at Barbican Hall on October 28, 2013, they were riding a wave of resurgence that’s quite fascinating. Just before this live recording, they had released "The Snow Goose" in 2013, which was a reimagining of their classic 1975 album of the same name. This rekindling of their earlier work shows how Camel masterfully blends nostalgia with modern interpretations, keeping their legacy alive. Interestingly, the live performance captured in "In from the Cold" not only showcases their musicianship but also highlights the band's ability to connect with both long-time fans and new listeners. Andrew Latimer, a constant through the band’s evolution, leads with his signature guitar work and soulful flute passages. It's a testament to how Camel has skillfully navigated the ever-changing music landscape, all while remaining true to their progressive roots. So, what does it feel like to see an old favorite breathe new life into their classics? This performance at the Barbican undoubtedly offers a captivating glimpse into that experience.
