Well,I'm back from the Barbican gig last Monday. Man...did I enjoy it! It was a perfect performence and the sound was very,very well. They all played with lots of energie and pleasure. The Snow Goose was wonderfull with some new parts in it. It was a real Snow Goose 2013! The 2e part of the show was also very good...maybe even better than before. I tried to make some pictures,but that didn't work out with my cheap camera. But pictures are already there and also some video's on you-tube. After the show there was no meet and greet,what was a bit dissapointing. With a new T-shirt and a new Snow Goose CD,I went home again ...happy and satisfied. I am glad that I went to London,what made it all to something special to me. The Barbican-gig is being filmed,so who knows,we can see it all back again once. Camel is back again...that's for sure!!!!!
Glad to hear it was a good time. Been wondering what the new Goose was sounding like, do you think it is an improvement upon the classic, or just a nice listen as an updated version?

What do you call an alligator in a vest? An investigator.
Exactly one week ago , the curtain fell for the last Camel concert in the Orangerie Fulda. The small camel tour was thus terminated after 13 days and 11 concerts. In fact, it was a very short tour . But the 11 concerts were taken each by itself , and have great , the fans can enjoy an incomparable evening.
The old "snow goose " 1975 lifted from the last time , but this time their stroke of wings were strong . I liked " The Snow Goose " in the revised version ( it goes into the orchestral ) . It is not better, but different .
For all instrument groups ( by that I mean the different groups of musical instruments), new arrangements were written. " The Snow Goose " worked for a lighter. Jason Guy and spread out a large, but not obtrusive sound carpet , flew through the " Snow Goose" in a new light . Denis supported this whole thing with a partially restrained , newly arrangiertem drumming. Andrew shone through new brilliant solo part he ever devotedly celebrated as . Only Colin remained as bassist little too much in the background of the " Snow Goose" . I think this is due to the fact the light had the new arrangements of the first set of orchestral us .
In the second set of songs on the list that have not been played live since tens of years. "Wait" ( last show : 1984-05-29 , Oslo ) and " Tell Me" ( last show : 1979-11-30 , Madrid). That was really high time to dig out such old treasures . In " Tell Me" I was a little sentimental. I have my then girlfriend gets to know ( that was nice ... ) The "Lady Fantasy" was played as an encore is probably no surprise , but it should be!
After the concert in Limbourg, I had the opportunity to me for almost all (unfortunately I could not find Jason Hart) for this great evening to thank me and to let autographs. I told Andrew that especially pleases me to find him in good health. Health is the main thing!
Furthermore, my thanks also to all who have contributed to the success of the tour my heartfelt thanks. Regardless of whether it was the roadies, the bus driver of the crew, the organizer or the many helpers on the edge of the concerts. Thanks a million!
We fans are already looking forward to the tour in 2014.
German Translation:
Vor genau einer Woche fiel der Vorhang zum letzten Camel Konzert in der Orangerie zu Fulda. Die kleine Camel Tour war somit nach 13 Tagen und 11 Konzerten beendet. Tatsächlich war es eine sehr kleine Tour. Doch die 11 Konzerte waren, jedes für sich genommen, großartig und haben uns, den Fans, ein unvergleichlich schönen Abend erleben lassen.
Die alte "schneegans" hob 1975 das letzte Mal ab, doch diesmal waren ihre stroke of wings kräftiger. Mir gefiel "The Snow Goose" in der überarbeiteten Fassung (es geht ins orchestrale). Es ist nicht besser, sondern anders.
Für alle Instrumentengruppen (damit meine ich die verschiedenen Gruppen der Musikinstrumente) wurden neue Arrangements geschrieben. "The Snow Goose" wirkte zum einen leichter. Jason und Guy breiteten einen großen, aber nicht aufdringlichen Klangteppich aus, durch den die "Schneegans" in neuem Glanz flog. Denis unterstützte dies Ganze mit einem zum Teil zurückhaltendem, ebenfalls neu arrangiertem Schlagzeugspiel. Andrew glänzte durch neue brillante Soloparts, die er wie eh und je hingebungsvoll zelebrierte. Nur Colin blieb als Bassist etwas zu sehr im Hintergrund der "Schneegans". Das ist meines Erachtens der Tatsache geschuldet, das die neuen Arrangements des ersten Sets leichter uns orchestraler wirkten.
Im zweiten Set standen Songs auf der Liste, die live seit zig Jahren nicht mehr gespielt wurden. „Wait“ (letzte Aufführung: 1984-05-29, Oslo) und „Tell Me“ (letzte Aufführung: 1979-11-30, Madrid). Das war wirklich höchste Zeit, solch alte Schätzchen hervorzukramen. Bei „Tell Me“ wurde ich etwas sentimental. Da habe ich meine damalige Freundin kennenlernt (war das schön…) Das „Lady Fantasy“ als Zugabe gespielt wurde hat wohl niemanden überrascht, doch es muss sein!
Nach dem Konzert in Limbourg hatte ich die Gelegenheit, mich bei fast allen (leider konnte ich Jason Hart nicht finden) für diesen tollen Abend zu bedanken und mir Autogramme geben zu lassen. Ich sagte zu Andrew, dass es mich vor allem freut, ihn in guter gesundheitlicher Verfassung anzutreffen. Gesundheit sei die Hauptsache!
Des Weiteren gilt ebenfalls mein Dank allen, die zum Gelingen der Tour beigetragen haben meinen herzlichen Dank. Ganz gleich, ob es die Roadies, der Busfahrer, der Veranstalter oder es die vielen Helfer am Rande der Konzerte waren. Tausend Dank!
Wir Fans freuen uns bereits jetzt schon auf die Tour 2014.
