Camel live at Sheffield City Hall, UK
20 September 1978

Hi, time for some more Camel again. This one comes from the Breathless tour in 1978. Pete Bardens had left the band immediately after the album had been finished. The artistic problems between Pete and Andy Latimer had grown to such an extent that Pete decided to leave, being of the opinion that Andy drifted too much towards a mainstream market. Bass-player Richard Sinclair convinced his cousin and ex-Caravan band-mate David Sinclair to join Camel on tour, but the band even enlisted a second keyboard player, Jan Schelhaas being the choice. David had promised to help out only on that specific tour and left the band after that, Jan stayed with Camel until 1981.

The recording is quite a nice one, not perfect, perhaps a B+, but with a very fine setlist.

Again, this recording comes from a trade, and unfortunately, I don't have any information about recording gear, lineage etc. I got these in a trade as FLACs and only converted them to WAV to create the setlist and check for lossiness.

Artwork created by me is included.

I love the Breathless album. I have not ever heard any live performance of it. I am anxious about hearing this. You seem to be drinking some stronger coffee, these days. I will try to keep up. Please, don't stop now! Thanks, for making the internet safe for CONEocracy.
