www.portalesquizofrenia.com/ya-es-oficial-camel-estan-de-vuelta-concierto-el-28-de-octubre-en-londres/2013/03/#.UUsne_wSzdA.facebookGoogle translate: It's official ...Camel are back!: Concert on October 28 in LondonMarch 21, 2013 Paul M. Beleña No, not a dream: Camel finally become, without speculation and dates. After you inform in January and announced the return to work and they were writing new material, it's time to set a date for his comeback after a serious illness that hit Andy Latimer. I have it all ... Andy Latimer of CamelSegún can confirm right now, Camel will officially back to fully interpret the legendary live album 'The Snow Goose' at the Barbican Arts Centre in London on 28 October of this 2013. And commemorate the famous concert 'A Live Record', which was his first album recorded live material from 1975 and 1977 and published in 1978. So, 35 years later, we see Andrew Latimer this time with Colin Bass, Denis Clement, Gu and Jan LeBlanc Schelhaus special guest. It will also be the first concert of his Farewell Tour Camel since 2003, just a decade later. The official statement from the band explains: "The evening will pay tribute to who was a founding member of the band, Peter Bardens, who died of cancer while the current leader of the group, Latimer, fighting for his life against a tough disease ". He adds: "10 years later, Latimer has conquered disease and held him resuming his career, which stretches for 4 decades now." It also clarifies the content of the concert: "This show two compositions recall repertoires that have taken place during that time in a special challenge to appreciate a life full of hard work in the music." The concert has a ridiculous price for tickets for the big event that is: the tickets cost between 25 and 35 pounds and all official information, if you urge to travel to London, is here: - Web Barbican Arts Centre and tickets: www.barbican.org.uk/music/event-detail.asp?ID=14826The Barbican Arts Centre only has seating for 1,900 people, so tickets will soon be exhausted. There is also an event already created on Facebook: www.facebook.com/events/134482413398934/That sounded in 1975: The return Andy Latimer of Camel 2 In May 2007, almost five years ago, almost nothing, his wife and assistant in Camel with letters and other contributions, Susan Hoover announced that Andy Latimer suffered from a blood disorder called polycythemia vera. It is a chronic syndrome that is the increase of blood cells, mainly red blood cells. Usually presented leukocytosis and thrombocytosis. It affects mainly males, aged between 50 and 60 years. It is a disease of insidious onset and slow development. Well, after years of slow recovery and return ads unconsummated, the miracle jumped in January: Camel hung an official note which read: "Well, what is a new Camel album after so long? Then somehow running. When everything is over and the crisis is far away, it was time to return to life as 'normal'. Started making plans. But was not there more than 'normal' life. was really different. course, the sun rises and sets, the earth rotates on its axis, etc, but now life is another regarding the it used to be. Passing two years trying to deal with the worst case scenario, this new future is a toll quite insidious. past the storm, you see how an involuntary reflex to finally get back to business. wanted to return to the road Camel on tour, maybe in the 'Retirement Sucks "tour ens eptember or October of this year, compose a new album, record a new DVD, go on with life in general ... But we had not understood one aspect after passing one life changing experience: we are the survivors. And that, in itself, life changing. thing you had to do was the opposite to make big plans, and it was something that just happened without realizing: survivors need exhale deeply and learn to breathe without imposition or pressures. So in the end it takes time to recover from the battle itself. Finally, we are ready for the challenges ahead. " This new material is the first studio album since 'A Nod and a Wink' (2002), a melancholy album dedicated to the then recently deceased Peter Bardens. While it is true that in these 11 years of silence has been the compilation of productions as 2010 'Rainbow's End: An Anthology 1973-1985' DVD and also in that year 'The Opening Farewell', with videos of the tour of the latter album in 2003.

See any of you lot there? - cheers - HFA A bit out of my way Sir - if you're going I'd be very interested to read your thoughts about the gig. I never got into Camel in their heyday (remiss of me I know) so it looks as though I may have some catching up to do. Suggestions please - I do have their self titled album from '73 on the hard disc.

Saw them in a tiny Denver music club in about 1974...they were amazing...the current album was something about land of the pink ( vague memory).

As you can understand this news brings back good memories!According Announces PORTAL SQZFNIA, Camel played in Spain www.portalesquizofrenia.com/camel-tocaran-en-noviembre-en-madrid-barcelona-y-jerez/2013/04/#.UXlppMIfsaM.facebookGoogle translate: Newsmaker!: Ensure that Camel will play in November in Madrid, Barcelona and JerezApril 25, 2013 Paul M. Beleña The return of Camel dream came true a few weeks ago finally returned to the road, but the dates were announced were only for United Kingdom and Central Europe. But according to several sources, the band of Andy Latimer also happen in Spain in November extending your tour. The days 4, 5 and 6 of that month in Barcelona, Madrid and Jerez, respectively. Andy Latimer informed sources CamelVarias between national progressive fans, near promoters and organizers of concerts and festivals as well as the means 'This is Rock', ensure that Camel will include Spain in their comeback tour after a decade apart from the stage . Will the 4th November in Barcelona at the Teatro Barts, the 5th in Madrid, at the Apollo Theatre, and day 6 in Jerez in the context of Borno festival. The official website has not yet joined the list of cities on the tour, but had already expanded the map with three German cities: Bochum, Mannheim and Fulda, the latest to join, from 30 October to 1 November. But various sources claim which is secured the presence of the band of Andy Latimer in our country in the days and places listed above. As you can see, it looks like Camel on his return are choosing quality theaters and auditoriums for live music, avoiding traditional concert halls. Among these sources consulted by 'Portal Schizophrenia' just some points to Jerez on day 6, whereas they all point to note that Madrid and Barcelona will give shelter to the band Camel. It so happens that that will be a difficult week in November as fair on Friday 8th will be the only date in our country to Steven Wilson, one of the most anticipated, as it is the first time you come alone. Also, next week will see the passage of Amorphis also Spain. Camel have currently integrated training by Latimer himself, accompanied by Colin Bass, Denis Clement, Guy Leblanc, as well as special guest Jan Schelhaas. The group will revive on this tour 35 years after the famous concert 'A Live Record', which was their first album recorded live material from 1975 and 1977 and published in 1978. Thus completely blown the mythical album 'The Snow Goose'. - All tour dates: October 19: Harrogate Royal Hall (tbc) October 20: Wolverhampton Wulfrun Hall (tbc) October 21: Manchester RNCM (tbc) October 22: Salisbury City Hall (tbc) October 24: Venue will Kursaal Limbourg, Belgium October 25: Groningen - Oosterpoort Main Hall, Netherlands October 26: Rabozaal Amsterdam, Netherlands October 28: London Barbican Arts Centre (tickets sold out) October 30: Bochum - Christuskirche, Germany October 31: Mannheim - Alte Seilerei, Germany November 1: Fulda - Orangerie, Germany

Oops sorry...Camel was pushing Mirag and Snow Goose when i saw them...the land of grey and pink was Caravan...and, ait, I'll probably blunder again...did caravan produce the best title ever? Cunning Stunts ? Hi steelmonkey - yup, Land of Grey n Pink was indeed Caravan - and C Stunts was theirs too. Interesting crossover of the two bands, in that ace bass player from Caravan, Richard Sinclair joined Camel for a decent spell - saw him play 'live' with them - in Bridlington! Mel Collins on sax at that one, too. MadDog - I have most of the Camel albums on vinyl - and a fair few on CD these days, too. You have the eponymous first album you say - that's one of my faves... the second 'Mirage' has some fine tracks, but not the same consistency across the album as a whole. The 'Snow Goose' was a good un - right up there in the 'Connnnncccepttt Allllbuuummmm' period (I can hear Ian saying that on a 'live' album I have! ) and Moonmadness was another fave album for me. They got rather patchy after that - always producing real gems on subsequent works - but with some also-rans always present that made this fan say 'Meh' on occasion. I stopped listening after buying their 'return' to concept album effort 'Nude' - mostly forgettable... (please bear in mind these are all views IMHO - I'm sure 'Nude' must have been somebody else's fave - their own definitive Camel - just not mine... One only has to compare notes with the Tull fans differing 'bests' of Ian's volume of work to realise that timing, first time heard the band, and a whole load of other factors colour each bod's ideas and thoughts on such things! I did always listen to subsequent work - always to check out Andy Latimer's guitar work - which never lost its quality! Just the later material itself was never a 'grab' for me. But I went through a spell of getting their work on CD only last year - and do spin them thar discs quite frequently - even more so, since the announcement of the revival tour! Several old pals are gathering for the Harrogate gig - we're all meeting up there in October - looking forward to it - and, as you ask, I will report back in due course. Very willing to post you my Camel discs so you can listen and choose if you wanna then proceed and purchase any for yourself - I can pop em in the post (sans plastic cases) wi'out any bother - just say if ya want... I'd rather do that than proffer titles and then find they dinnae hit the spot for ya. Alt best - HFA

That first album is rather fine and is down on the list for a listen this weekend. Cheers MD

www.prog-sphere.com/news/camel-to-release-new-album/ CAMEL To Release New AlbumWe already wrote about Camel’s 2013 fall tour before, but the news from the official Guy LeBlanc website that Andrew Latimer and Camel are working on a release that should be released before the mentioned tour seem to go unnoticed. In a news update on his website, LeBlanc says: “I’ve spent the last few months learning, re-learning, rehearsing and recording with Andy Latimer and Camel, and I do believe that a cd will be released in time for the tour.” It’s been a lot of fun, and I’m very much looking forward to meeting up with the boys in late September for band rehearsals, and of course the October concerts which will be fantastic!” To remind, back in March it was announced that Camel is to return on stage this October to play few dates, performing The Snow Goose in its entirety. The press release stated that the tour is “in loving memory of Peter Bardens and in celebration of Camel’s long and illustrious musical career.” - See more at: www.prog-sphere.com/news/camel-to-release-new-album/#sthash.OccHg5Mq.dpuf
