Some cracking songs in that top 20, Happy days. Think I've got a 'Top of the pops' album with almost the same listings!

I do think that the early 70s was a wonderful time to be a teenager, especially when speaking of popular/chart music. Of course there was dross, but not that much was horrendous.

I would never want to be 'that guy' who says all today's music is crap because obviously that's not true - it just feels that way 😀  . I just hope today's teenagers get as much fun out of their musical era as I did back in mine. 

Alright pop-pickers? Not 'arf!

Camel - Live At The Royal Albert Hall 2018

 

CAMEL-ICE (Live At The Royal Albert Hall 2018) - YouTube

 

A band I've been into since the 70's but only discovered this video by pure chance. Hell I thought they'd hung up their guitars years ago! I've now bought the Blu-Ray of this concert and have been in tears ever since. Jeez - music can move me big time. Only Andy Latimer, the founding guitarist, remains but what a band he's assembled around him. The guy who introduces this song and play the keyboards is totally blind!!!

I was in a band in Sheffield in the 70s, we used part of Camels 'The snow goose' as the intro to our set. Saw them live a couple of times, really good band.

Yeah I saw them a few times back in the day. Can't believe how much footage there is on YouTube though. Spent the whole of yesterday evening watching it all - in tears again 😏  Even found some ropey footage of their BBC 'Sight And Sound In Concert' gig from 77. But then I got diverted onto the marvellous footage of Gentle Giant's 'Free Hand' gig for the BBC. What an amazingly tight and much overlooked band they were.

This is a really good hard rock album with a vocalist who sounds like he's channelling a young Ozzy Osbourne. Great stuff.

Never forgotten.

Having a bit of a psy-trance evening with this classic.
