CP posted an update (www.camelproductions.com choose News) wrt Meet and Greet after the shows and the need to introduce VIP packages... Would have been nice if the communicated this months ago :(
Unfortunately I couldn't make the Royal Albert hall gig - absolutely gutted, but got tickets for the Aylesbury gig so still happy :) Planning on taking my wife for her first taste of Camel! Seems like forever since I have seen the guys on stage so really looking forward to the show.
CP posted an update (www.camelproductions.com choose News) wrt Andy's health problems (hernia) and its consequences.Sofar no cancellations luckily, but it must be tough on Andrew!
I have just received the complete recording of the Camel concert from May 16, 2018. I am very pleasantly surprised. There were also two new songs performed. One is Mystic Dreams and Dingley Dell.
"Mystic Dreams" is in my opinion a diamond among the treasures of Camel Hits. Until the 17th second, every Camel fan thinks that "Mystic Queen" is playing, but then .... Please surprise everyone positively. This song is so varied.
The band offers an extraordinary performance. Actually, typical Camel.
Once again, enjoy the remaining concerts.
By the way, I'm happy about every kind of information (reviews, setlists) and pictures (tickets, concert photos, etc) about this tour. You can send it by mail to: info@pink-camel.eu
Well, the news isn't getting much better: Andy now has developed pneumonia (early stage) and the band cancelled the Dutch The Hague show, giving Andy 2 days to recover (he was given medication at the hospital). Still they plan to continue the remaining dutch shows for 7,8 and 9 june.
Hi, quick update after the show in Eindhoven. Great concert & fine sound. Hope the best for the following tour. Always a pleasure to hear them. Finger crossed for going well. All the best for the band. Nice weekend for all. Matthias
Waterside Theatre, Aylesbury - 10th September 2018 Saw the band in Aylesbury on Monday. I have been a fan of the band now for 45 years and have seen them many times before. But thinking back I realised, to my shame, that I hadn’t seen them live since the early 80’s! It was my first visit to the Waterside Theatre and I must say it’s a beautiful venue inside and out. It was interesting to see that many of the audience in the bar area were ‘of a certain age’ shall we say I guess most of us had grown up with Camel, but it was nice to see other younger fans there too. Camel’s music appeals too all. I have to say that the current line-up has to be one of Camel’s best. On the night they were very tight and it was great to see the band looking like they were enjoying themselves. The sound was very good. The light show wasn’t over elaborate but perfect for the band and very effective. Andy was brilliant as usual and it was great to see him appear fit and well again. Colin was his usual dependable self – it wouldn’t be the same without him. Denis is a fabulous drummer and his drums were forward in the mix. Pete Jones? Wow! This guy was a great find. Fantastic keyboards (and saxophone) and a very, very good voice. The last song before the encore was ‘Long Goodbyes’. I must admit it made me a bit emotional. What with Andy’s recent and on-going health problems (and the fact that he is 69 now) it kind of rang a sad note for me. It’s a song I have always liked, but on the night it made me think it was like the band was saying a last goodbye. I had a tear in my eye and I don’t mind admitting it. At the end Andy said ‘see you next time’. I for one hope I do. Gary
Sadly my Mother passed away last week meaning we didn't get to the Manchester show, but I managed to pass the tickets along and the recipient had a great night. Just found a recording of it too!!
I believe in a better world, a brighter world, a world where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned.
Sadly, I couldn't make it to any of the shows this time but looking forward to the RAH DVD.
From CP..."For now, everyone is taking a much needed break but we'll be back soon with NEWS. As many fans have noticed, the RAH performance was indeed video recorded so there will be a DVD release. Watch this space for updates and perhaps some trailers..."
