Camel/UK 1975

From the 1975 UK tour after the release of “Snow Goose,” which is famous as their masterpiece among bands that play Britishness in the 1970s, the Manchester performance on June 30th was recorded with an audience! ! It was recorded directly from the original master tape that has been partially leaked to the Internet in recent years, and the quality is as good as a soundboard, making you wonder how it was recorded with such sound quality in this era. And since the bassist left after this tour and Richard Sinclair joined from Caravan, the last complete reproduction of “Snow Goose” by the original lineup from the debut can be said to be a valuable record. Andy Latimer’s beautiful and melodic guitar and flute give us a wonderful line, and Peter Bardens’ keyboard plays a dramatic sound that more than makes up for the beauty, and the brilliant collaboration of these two people seems to bring to mind a scene. And in the second half, they also performed the large song “Homage To The God Of Light,” which was not included in the album and is also worth paying attention to. This song was included with Gong and Henry Cow on the omnibus album “GREASY TRUCKERS”, and a live track from the Marquee Club on October 29, 1974 was included as a bonus with the release of their first album “Camel” in 2002, but it is an important highlight number from their early days that has not been officially released. The encore was also a big song, and they ended the show with “Lady Fantasy” from their eternal classic “Mirage”. This is a must-have item that contains the precious performances of early Camel in the highest quality.
