Man what a find these recordings are! The quality is first-rate, especially considering the original recordings are over 30 years old. You get to see the original Camel lineup on some of the songs here, which is a real treat for me because I really liked the bass playing of founding member Doug Ferguson, and why they kicked him to the curb still mystifies me. And then an entire concert recorded a year later with Peter Bardens, Andrew Latimer and Andy Ward of the original band backed by Mel Collins and new bassist Richard Sinclair. They are in top form here; it's great to see Peter Bardens especially, since he passed away six years ago. He was a hell of a keyboard player who never got the recognition of a Keith Emerson or a Rick Wakeman, but he was just as good in my opinion. Camel was a great band, and here on this DVD you get to see them when they were the real deal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Camel in progress, October 15, 2009

This review is from: Camel: Moondances (DVD)

Camel is an incredible band from the same era as Genesis, Yes, ELP, Jethro Tull, etc. They are well documented on DVD but this one is the best - nearly full sets from the Moonmadness tour, with original four members, followed by the next tour for Rain Dances, which featured new bass player/vocalist Richard Sinclair and winds genius Mel Collins. It's a great opportunity to see the band in top form first as a classical/progressive rock outfit, complete with psychedelic projections, and long spacey jams, followed by their quick rebirth as a progressive jazz collective. Guitarist Andy Latimer outdoes Clapton in my view and I agree with the other posting here that keyboard player Pete Bardens was in the same class as more well known prog-rock masters. Highly recommended....Doug

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly captures a great prog rock band., September 6, 2011

Great videos! This band never got the fame they deserved. Both concerts in this video are outstanding. And the addition of Mel Collins in the second show is outstanding. If you are looking for the best footage capturing Andrew, Peter and the boys, you just found it.
