- HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ANDY WARD
To mark Andy Ward's 65th birthday today, 28 September 2017, we are highlighting an excellent live recording of 'Lunar Sea' from the 1976 album 'Moonmadness'.
When the band were unable to find a suitable concept to follow the success of 'The Snow Goose', they decided to do an album of songs that reflected the personalities of the individual members. The dynamic and complex 'Lunar' Sea was written for Andy who chose the title because he liked the play on words of lunar sea-lunacy.
Andrew Latimer calls Andy one of the most innovative drummers of his time as well as an "incredibly sensitive player". Peter Bardens commented in the Curriculum Vitae DVD that when he first joined the band he was "especially impressed" with Andy Ward and Doug Ferguson as a rhythm section describing how tight they were.
We wish Andy a happy birthday and celebrate this milestone with this fabulous clip and wish him many returns of the day.

One of best Progressive Rock Bands in history !...
One of many underrated groups. It’s just that in the 70s there were too many experiments and too many good groups.
Real musicians. Absolute class!
No fakery, no distractions, no Dj, no looping. There was a time you had to be that fking good to be in a band. Long live real music.
When a 9 minute song feels like 3 minutes you know it's a hell of a song!
Extremely underrated band!
Camel, some of the world's finest jazz rock EVER.
Andy Ward is just magical. He might not be a technical beast but he has a special touch that I have never experienced in rock drumming. For my ears his unique lyrical style is only present in the sound of Manu Katche although they are very different styled drummers. What a loss for Camel and what a loss for Andy Ward also.
Moonmadness is one of my favourite albums of all time.
Air Born is my favorite Camel tune. It's more dreampop / shoegaze than Prog, no squiggly superfluous bits, just a lovely trippy song.
La grande époque !
Bardens,Latimer,Ward,Sinclair et Collins = extraordinaire !!
Super morceau,super musiciens,super band et super album qu'est Moonmadness. Fantastique et merveilleuse musique,merci beaucoup Camel !!
This is amazing jazz...and perfect musicianship...
This is such a brilliant performance. The whole band is working together fantastically.
Andy Ward, what a great drummer! And Latimer, a great guitarist, one of my favorites!
I bought a Camel album when i was 14 csuse the artwork at the album, and fuck yeah what a music
This is the first time I've ever listened to Camel although I've heard of them. Man, I've got some catching up to do...this was awesome.
The old times
So many cameras, so many microphones - for those of you who tend to ask, this is PROG.
Andy Ward. A lifelong hero of mine. Awesome!
I have to be honest this is the first song I have heard from this awesome band. Growing up in the 60s and 70s never heard of them. I am saying up late tonight.
Transported me back to the 70’s, saw them 4 times in Liverpool in that time, still listen to these guys, brilliant music and the best times.
One of the best bands of the 70s'. So dam good musicians!
Absolutely mesmerizing
Andy Ward was so beyond to his age. As a musically; He was like a space-rock drummers of this age; he has special ability... Especially with Ferguson's impressive bas lines.. VIVA CAMEL!!! (come to ISTANBUL)
Mell Collins also play in King Crimson right ?
I think Andy Ward is one of the five best drummers in Rock History
I thought I knew every prog rock band from the late 60's through the mid 70's,. I missed these guys! How did they fly under my radar?
Still great music after all these years.
Camel is amazing!
Great song
These guys are my age and I never heard of them. A friend 15 years younger turned me on to them. Excellent.
to me, they are the magnum opus of symphonic prog. this band's legacy lives on, really love their tunes
Andy is pure love. My favourite Camel performance. And in the 5:06 starts the most intense 4 minutes jam of the 70s prog rock
My God-to be at that concert in the presence of such musical giants
SIMPLEMENTE Y GRANDIOSAMENTE Y ESCANDALOSAMENTE GENIALES!!!!!!!!!!!
Simply the best guitarist ever. Such emotion and feel.
2018年5月「MoonMadness」全曲再現ツアーとして日本に再来日してくれました．
奇跡のような素晴らしい一夜でした．
その後のヨーロッパツアーでラティマーさんが病に倒れたとのこと．大事ではないようですが、とても心配しています．無理をなさらずに、健康第一で体をいたわってください．
This was my favorite all time Camel lineup. Magic.
my favorite band from the 70's
A very happy birthday to Andy Ward. His drums arrangements are outstanding, magical, poweful, unbelievable!
I've alwayz loved the sound of single-headed concert toms, that punchy boom-y sound.
i am 58, still remember these guys back in the 70`s Glasgow appollo
Andy Ward 5/8 drumming here flows so well and powerful. So inspirational.
Moon madness love this band ha im 66 now posting this February 2019
absolutely amazing band one of the best of all times !!!
Great band
Completely awesome masterpiece one of the greatest bands ever assembled
one of the most amazing live perfomances i have ever seen
I can literally ignore everything and anyone when I hear this song! So much Gold!! Classic!
This great performance was held 40 years ago!
Banda fenomenal!
this is a fantastic presentation , Latimer , Bardens and Ward plays this song with their heart.
The performance is so professional...so flawless. As I'm 26, I wish I could travel back in time and assist to those amazing gigs !!!!
God, the guitar player is so good.
i did not hear about them until today ! what a progressive rock band !!!
What an amazing performance! these guys are so talented!
A relaxed song does not have to be slow to be relaxed... even a faster one like this can swing and take you away like a gentle breeze. Lunar Sea is the best example for musical craftmanship on the highest level: Grooving and swinging rhythm and melodies as soft as cool air in the morning. Nobody else than Latimer understood that way of playing. One of my very favourite Camel Tracks beside Air Born and Preparation / Dunkirk. Thanks for posting. Uuuh, by the way: Nice to see Mel Collins playin' saxofone... In german television he was temporalily known from the Harald Schmidt Show (Helmut Zerlett Band). Best regards from Germany.
WOW! So great. I loved this album dearly and played it all the time. Still have my vinyl copy!
Saw Camel at Hornsea Floral Hall in 1973. That's a small seaside town in East Yorkshire, UK.
Over the years I have loved all the lineups but this one remains special.
Is that simple 5 wonderful musicians together
This is real magic! In the beginning of the studio version, I hear the sound of the opening of Secret of Mana, an epic game, since then I was hooked on especially this song. It's like gaming, this music, it's a great universe to be in.
simply awesome
One of the happiest days of my life was when I discovered this song listening an k7 tape!
Happy birthday Andy! It was great to spend a few minutes with you guys. Great performance!
Just Perfect, love this band
love it!!!
First saw Camel in 1972 twice , supporting Barclay James Harvest , a year before they had released their first album.
Andy . happy birthday. you will always be a great drummer
Found this after watching a TH-cam prog rock compilation with Lady Fantasy.
I had never heard of Camel and at first I wasn't sure I liked it. I wasn't sure how long I could listen to it. Then I became... how do I describe it... mesmerized... all the way to the end...
c'est un groupe vraiment génial
Incredible performance Thanks Camel
Meravigliosi !!!
Amazing performance and Thank Camel for the upload.
Back in the day when Latimer played Les Pauls.... God, I loved that tone. Clear, but rich, and just singing. Lyrical.
As far as I'm concerned, the best track off of the best Camel album! Amazing!
camel forever!
Magic song! Love that spacey waves of string synthesizer and saxophone by Mel Collins
First time I've listened to Camel, heard of them obviously, but ... fantastic, a reborn vinyl enthusiast who will be checking these guys out.
First rate prog driven by the bouncing bass of Canterbury ‘ finest Richard Sinclair ; well done Camel
Happy late b-day! No matter how deep one dives into the classics, there's always more. And it gets better I swear. Its like someone is time travelling back there and comin up with new stuff lmao
Outstanding performance! I love this song and all the feeling and intensity in it. Thank you Camel!
Here I am listening to the music and it sounds amazing
Congrats Andy, hope you are well!
I Always loved it ♥
Latimer outstanding guitarist.
Thank you Camel
Heart beat contentedly ...
Congratulations Andy!!!!!
Oh my god this was such a great lineup. In 77 I somehow wandered into your dressing room at oxford polytechnic, where you all kindly signed my copy of moonmadness (Of course I still have it). I was a shy youngster so am still amazed I did that. But I guess that's what young people do when they are inspired by the music. BTW everything sounds just as good on Ichigo ichie as it did back then.
look at Andy , he was playing so intense even when he was young.(look at his face while playing his guitar )
Majestic! I'm going to watch their Moonmadness tour tonight in Utrecht (The Netherlands)! Looking very forward to this!!!
First heard this on WPLR a progressive FM Station in CT in the spring of '76. I immediately went out and bought the Album, it blew me away and I started collecting their works. But this One still does it for me. Thank You.

Thanks to TH-cam for suggestion, finally something different for me to discover in addition to my beloved early genesis, caravan, yes ...almost a combo of all of those, love the keyboards and guitar especially...cheers guys !
The brightest stars burn the brightest. Happy belated B'day Andy. We miss you!
Realized this might be an official Camel upload. I forgot about these guys. Blessed artistry. I remember the album cover controversy for Mirage from decades back.
