OK, wiseking. 
I forget, my mistake—what was the title of the bestselling CD that featured you blazing away Beck-like on lead guitar?  

Yes, I second the reply to the snooty snark of wiseking. Which Santana bad? Because I've heard some Santana that's a lot less compelling than other, but seldom so-said bad, and I can list 20 - 30 cuts which may prove the opposite of 'hackneyed.'  
Anyway, the cut seems to have a more than passing resemblance to Roy Buchanan. Which is not bad, to any hackneyed ears.

This is crazy.  I never thought in a million years I'd hear this tune played anywhere but from my own collection.  Thanks RP.

So great to hear the great Camel on RP, beautifully blended in a mix across the decades. You guys are the best!

Bought the Mirage and The Snow Goose CDs recently.  Excellent.

I particularly like The Snow Goose CD probably because of the RP introductions to this song and Rhayader.

Post Camel (circa 1987) saw Pete Bardens' band play The Bottom Line in NYC.  On percussion that night: Mick Fleetwood.  Not a bad show...

They did get sued:)....fantastic progressive rock band fusing modernistic sound with synthesizer with jazz, world music, folk, rock and classical...some of the best melodies on synth and guitars....

Well, if you compare the Camel logo with the image on the album, they are identical:



If they had no connection with the company, I'm surprised they didn't get sued for trademark infringement.

I'd never heard this before!  What a lovely, melodic song... I'm glad it isn't "Frampton's Camel," because (shhhh - and don't tell anyone I wrote this!) I think Camel runs circles around Frampton's Camel. I love Peter Frampton's music, and he's earned his stripes, but this "Camel" is much more intricate and soulful, IMO. {#Mrgreen}

kiss me quick by ~LosAnnas
Anna ©2009-2010 ~LosAnnas

Elvis Presley

Kiss me quick, while we still have this feeling
Hold me close and never let me go
'Cause tomorrows can be so uncertain
Love can fly and leave just hurting
Kiss me quick because I love you so

Kiss me quick and make my heart go crazy
Sigh that sigh and whisper oh so low
Tell me that tonight will last forever
Say that you will leave me never
Kiss me quick because I love you so

Let the band keep playing while we are swaying
Let's keep on praying that we'll never stop

Kiss me quick just can't stand this waiting
'Cause your lips are lips I long to know
Oh that kiss will open heaven's door
And we'll stay there forevermore
Kiss me quick because I love you so

Let the band keep playing while we are swaying
Let's keep on praying that we'll never stop

Kiss me quick just can't stand this waiting
'Cause your lips are lips I long to know
Oh that kiss will open heaven's door
And we'll stay there forevermore
Kiss me quick because I love you so

Andrew Latimer (guitar), Andy Ward (drums) and Doug Ferguson (bass) had been playing as a trio called The Brew around the Guildford, Surrey area of England. They recruited Peter Bardens (keyboards) and after an initial gig to fulfill a Bardens commitment on 8 October 1971 in Belfast, Northern Ireland under the name of Peter Bardens' On, they changed their name to Camel. Their first gig was at Waltham Forest Technical College, London supporting Wishbone Ash on 4 December. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel_%28band%29

More camel svp.

 

P.S.  I hear something a tad similar to that band from the Netherlands called Focus.  Focus was a one-hit wonder.  I'm thinking of the Focus that did not get wide airplay.



 

Jan Ackerman was fantastic in that band!

My best friend gave me this album for my 17th birthday - I used to play it endlessly.
That was some 25 years ago :-)

Thank you for playing this now - I must have not heard this in some 15+ years.

That, and your trademark blue text.

 
I imagine that I am not the first member on the site who has deduced that "calypsus_1" writes his or her comments in Spanish (or another non-English language) and then runs them through some sort of translation program which creates those garbled fragments.  Sometimes randomly-translated passages can be amusing, other times - not so much.  As for the distinctive blue text, um.....

No problem with that, westslope.  There actually is quite some Camel on RP which is hardly ever played. Still you can click on one of the affiliate links and buy the album thereby both helping RP and Camel ( and the record company )

Posted 17 years ago by MickMan    [ Reply ]
OK, so it may not be high energy but just about everything I hear from this group (admittedly not much) is alway very tastefully done. I just shake my head when I think of all the time I wasted on all those other one-word bands in the 70s when I could have been listening to these guys.
