I agree that Rhayader and Rhayader Goes to Town should be listened to together, but I'd go further and say you need to listen to the whole album. The Snow Goose story is a book, by Paul Gallico, but it was also made into a movie starring Jenny Agutter; it's on TH-cam if you search for snow goose agutter. There's also a version with Spike Milligan narrating and the London Symphony Orchestra. Neither the movie nor the narrated version are related to the Camel concept album, as far as I'm aware; but I've not seen the latter yet so I can't be sure.
Need to listen to the whole thing. It’s a instrumental concept album. Their guitar player and founder, Andy Latimer is one of the most underrated players on earth. Anything from Camel is great, including a rare double album with the King Crimson sax playing with them. Great live!!!
It's Rhayader with 2 a's. Based upon the book by Paul Gallico, no lyrics due to copyright issues. Camel was a somewhat underrated prog band. Very melodic and superb guitar by Andy Latimer.,
One of those SEAMLESS Instrumental Concept masterpieces that is definitively worth listening to in its entirety. I don't think I've ever heard a singular song until now! I spend my coldest winters in Ohio at college in the 70's and loved experiencing this during those freezing but beautiful winter days / nights. Great to hear you continuing to expand your Prog Universe horizons. CAMEL are one of the top 10 legends that created a signature cool smooth deeply melodic & always upliftingly heartwarming sound all their own that satisfied particular moods. The Camel cigs font wasn't always used as their logo style. As a marketing ploy for their next album their Label's Management, used the cigarette box art to promote the "MIRAGE" album to the band's dismay but during those days it probably helped because as a Progband, one needed extra publicity I remember finding it amusing back when smoking wasn't taboo.
' Lies ' , from their Nude album really showcases Latimer's sweet guitar genius and a fantastic conceptual album it most certainly is. What an under-rated , and NEED to be heard band they are !! 😍
Nice reaction 👍🏻 Andy Latimer is an awesome 🎸player, up there with David Gilmour and Steve Rothery (Marillion), imo. The entire album The Snow Goose is awesome and instrumental, a must listen ! Check out Lady Fantasy, a prog classic.
This whole album is completely instrumental. It's a concept album inspired by a novella by Paul Gallico called "The Snow Goose". The whole album is fantastic!
This song has one of my favorite keyboard solo's. The keys were played by Peter Bardens who later did the keyboards on "Wavelength" by Van Morrison (you can hear the similarities).
Love Camel, particular their first number of albums including their self titled debut, Mirage, Moon Madness and The Snow Goose. So many great songs to pick a best but I've always been partial to Lunar Sea.
Another classic band we saw live at Harrow Tech back in the very early 70s..Sitting on the floor in the hall in a haze of smoke and 50p yellow microdot visuals...LOL
Mannnnn yall were so damn lucky. The music people drop to nowadays is all dumb ass techno and electronic instrument bs live shows with a dude with a fucking laptop. So lame
L33: A later Camel song that knocked me out is called Echoes. Just FYI. It is impossible for me not to floor the gas and pump my fist in the air whenever I hear it (and elude the eyes of the state troopers while doing so)!
whole album is great, this tune is completely instrumental - I still smoke Camel and listen to Camel. The whole suite is on TH-cam live in the studio with excellent audio and video from 1973 (I think it was that year)
Good to see you falling into another huge rabbit hole L33! Camel, great band, with some unforgettable 'concept' albums. As for their origin, may I suggest you dig out and read a novella by Paul Gallico, an American second world-war news correspondent, who based his book on Dunkirk and the small boats criss-crossing the English Channel during the war. All will become clear!
The story of Dunkirk is absolutely harrowing. But so inspiring. The regular citizens saving the day! I will definitely check it out. This was a great first listen, Dave. I loved the instrumentals that are so reminiscent of winter. .. it's so... COOL. 👌 I will definitely be listening to more from them. Thanks for watching!! 🙏
Lady Fantasy is possibly their most I st ironic song , it's a long medley with a LOT of dramatic changes, here's a good live version th-cam.com/video/oAz80DbEVbU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bieh4-AWjVT_zVkV
The story is set in 1940, during the second world war and part of it is about the rescue of British soldiers from the beaches of Dunkirk (hence the British expression "Dunkirk spirit." i.e. keep going no matter how bad stuff gets.) I heard the band play the whole album live in London in1975 and you really need to experience it in one sitting. The track Dunkirk is much heavier, describing the warfare. The band blinded the audience with spotlights when it started to rock out. Play that one really loud!!!! Most of the album is more melodic and very beautiful.
FWIW, I've usually heard it pronounced "rye-A-der". Camel were a talented band that didn't try to out-flash bands like ELP or Yes. Their early period (which this falls into) saw them stretching out with instrumentals and jamming more often than in later years. Guitarist Andy Latimer was a double-and-a-half-threat. He played a mean guitar, could also play flute and recorders, and sang (although his singing is an acquired taste for some.) Peter Bardens, the keyboard player (who had connections to the Fleetwood Mac camp) would also sing occasionally (again, with mixed results.) BTW, that logo got them into deep trouble when they started out. Their second album Mirage -- the one they had hopes would break them into the USA -- had to be released in the states with a different cover because the cigarette company threatened to sue. Re: recommendations for future listens, I'll throw "Lunar Sea", "Skylines" or "The Sleeper" into the mix, all phenomenal instrumentals from the next three albums.
I KNEW IT lol I couldn't believe that was the logo! It's totally the Camel cigarette logo 😆😆😆 I smoked them as a kid. Anyways, thank you so much for the recommendations! I will definitely be doing more from them. This was fantastic. The overall sound and atmosphere was beautiful. The flute and piano, beautiful. I loved it. Thanks for all the info! I love learning all this stuff lol
@@L33Reacts as a "soloing" sound i suppose the Canterbury keyboard-ists were going for a rival texture to the guitars, you'll hear it throughout bands from that scene...Caravan, Hatfield and the North, Soft Machine, Egg etc. 👊
Yo my man you have to start listening to the krautrock bands from the late 60s to the early 70s bands like Amon Duul 2 , Can , Guru Guru , also the Japanese bands Acid Mothers Temple there songs Chinese flying saucer , Pink lady lemonade, Flower Travellin Band songs Kamikaze, Hiroshima totally head music enjoy🟤🤘
I'm not gonna lie bro, I haven't heard of ANY of those lol so I am totally down with checking them out. Sounds trippy. I'm down. Especially acid mothers temple... that's a dope name lol
@@L33Reacts this music is not for everyone it’s album music it’s hard to pick out one song you just got to listen to to the whole album start with Amon Duul 2 yeti , acid mothers temple I love all there albums this music is for your own personal enjoyment the krautrock bands start with there early stuff I love this music enjoy my brother peace 🤘🟤

You need to hear the next piece Rhayader and Rhayader Goes to Town are essentially one track, and are always played together live.
Sweet I will definitely check the rest out. This was awesome! I'm glad Adrian requested it.
I agree that Rhayader and Rhayader Goes to Town should be listened to together, but I'd go further and say you need to listen to the whole album.

Camel 🐫 🐪 🐫 🐪! Andy Latimer is amazing...
Can't wait to check out more! This was very intriguing.
I see Camel and Rhayader and I give thumbs up before listening lol!

My favorite Camel track, hands-down, is "Lunar Sea." I think you'd love it.
Awesome! I love the name, so I will definitely check it out. One of my favorite songs of all time is called "Lunar Wilderness" so I'm already in! Lol
Lunar Sea is highly recommended 👍@@L33Reacts

And so it is... thank you! 😊

This is a concept album. Listen start to finish. Awesome band. No lyrics on this album. Live version is great. The album mirage is also a gem.
Free Fall of Camel’s Mirage album is a hot banger by these guys. Hope you had a great Christmas with your family. 😊
I definitely did! I will be working on posting some pics and videos from it for patreon today! It was beautiful.
' Lies ' , from their Nude album really showcases Latimer's sweet guitar genius and a fantastic conceptual album it most certainly is. What an under-rated , and NEED to be heard band they are !! 😍
I'll add it to the list Peter. Thank you! They sound awesome!
You're not perchance THE Peter Jones, from Tigermoth Tales?
Sorry to disappoint...I don't have the great man's talents , however I do recognise good music when I hear it. ❤️@@brucehenninger2662
Big influence Andy Latimer on my guitar playing Mirage Moon madness early 70s
Nice reaction 👍🏻
Andy Latimer is an awesome 🎸player, up there with David Gilmour and Steve Rothery (Marillion), imo.
The entire album The Snow Goose is awesome and instrumental, a must listen !
Check out Lady Fantasy, a prog classic.
Camel were the first band I ever saw live. I was about 16 at the time, around 76, it was the Moonmadness tour, which came a year after The Snow Goose.
This whole album is completely instrumental. It's a concept album inspired by a novella by Paul Gallico called "The Snow Goose". The whole album is fantastic!
This song has one of my favorite keyboard solo's. The keys were played by Peter Bardens who later did the keyboards on "Wavelength" by Van Morrison (you can hear the similarities).
Greetings from Brazil. You have to listen to Nimrodel and earthrise from the album Mirage. They are two of Camel's greatest classics.
Love Camel, anything from moonmadness!
Love Camel, particular their first number of albums including their self titled debut, Mirage, Moon Madness and The Snow Goose. So many great songs to pick a best but I've always been partial to Lunar Sea.

and they pay alot more than 75c for a tab of acid...LOL..Love the show..@@L33Reacts
They sure fucking do... hahaha. Glad to hear you enjoy the show michael. I appreciate you bro 🙏

Fantastic band often known as the poor mans genesis, l have many camel albums
Poor man's genesis.... LOL... well I'm definitely gonna love them then 🤣🤣
@@L33Reacts sooner or later your going to come across Gong and Steve Hillage can’t wait to see your reaction 😂😂😂
I've done one song by Gong! Fuckin TRIPPY dude lol 😆 th-cam.com/video/y_iDxFejwrg/w-d-xo.html
Check out 'Ice' by them -brilliant guitar
I'll definitely check it out! I loved this. It was beautiful.

Awesome thank you! I will add it to the list
Love Camel
Andrew Latimer is one great guitarist a favourite along with Gilmour and Zappa
Ice by Camel has to be played at my Funeral a truly great guitar track

The music is inspired by the short story 'The Snow Goose' by Paul Gallico.
Thanks Tony! I think I might have read it at school? Maybe not? Idk it sounds familiar lol
Rhayn-deer.
Definitely doesn't sound or look like that but I get it 🤣🤣 my bad.
Distorted organ lines, a hallmark of the "Canterbury" scene
It's such a distinct and awesome sound.

Sounds like they were influenced by Jethro Tull.
Rip off Jethro till and. Yes
Get a grip. Just because Camel use a flute they're not ripping off other groups who do. Is Zeppelin ripping off Floyd? Floyd use guitars.
@@lemming9984I agree with your comment. Bands influence each other. That's natural. It doesn't mean they are ripping each other off!
