Tracks: Supertwister [MI2002, REc] Mystic Queen [MI2002] Arubaluba [MI2002] Rhayader Goes To Town [TSG2002, TSG2009] The Snow Goose / Freefall [TSG2002, TSG2009] Ligging At Louis' [ALR, ALR2002] Lady Fantasy [ALR, ALR2002] Homage To The God Of Light [CA2002, REc]
Notes: In the liner notes of CA2002, Mi2002, TSG2002 and REc, it is stated that these tracks were recorded at the Marquee on 30 October. This is very unlikely, as explained in the post below, which also clarifies that the tracks from ALR and ALR2002 (listed as 'October 1974') are from this gig.
Zitat von longtallericOn the 2002 remaster of "Camel", we find "Homage to the God of Light", recorded at the Marquee, London, UK on October 29th, 1974.
On the 2002 remaster of "Mirage", we find "Supertwister", "Mystic Queen" and "Arubaluba", recorded at the Marquee, London, UK on October 30th, 1974.
According to P-C's Tour Table, Camel did play both dates at the Marquee. So, were both dates recorded? Or would the record company have made a small mistake with one of the recording dates?
Zitat von got the humpPlus songs on Snow Goose 2002 credited to 30th Oct: Rhayader Goes To Town Snow Goose/Freefall And the two songs on all versions of A Live Record credited on the 2002 remaster as 30th Oct: Ligging At Louis Lady Fantasy
But note that in the Snow Goose 2002 liner notes, Mark Powell states Camel did two nights at the Marquee giving the dates as 30th September and 1st October. And the back cover of Camel 2002 states God Of Light was recorded on 29th October whereas the liner notes state 30th October. So I don't trust the liner notes.
My current thinking on the date(s) is that Camel only actually played ONLY 29th and the liner notes are in error. Evidence is this Marquee ad posted on the Rajaz forum. Note from the ad that they were making the recording for "American Radio" though I don't think in the end there was a broadcast from this gig. Perhaps they decided to record the Electric Ladyland instead so the Americans could hear one of their own shows.
