Snow Goose Mirage Moonmadness s/t I saw them live back in 1975 when they were promoting the Snow Goose and they played it in its entirety for the whole second half of their show.

I'm hoping that they tour again and hopefully in America (i doubt it will happen) but fingers crossed.

I actually saw Camel on the Single Factor tour 1982 or 1983, and they were still playing the full Snow Goose! It was a brutally good show by the way, maybe given that it was the Single Factor period one wouldn't necessarily have expected that. Favourite albums by the way, on about equal level, Moonmadness, Breathless & Mirage, many others close behind.

the "On the Road" live albums are really good, especially "On the Road 1972".
"On the Road 1981" has most of Nude played live. Edited by Cristi - September 10 2021 at 07:17 |

And as far as favorite songs go, I love Who we Are, Drafted, Rhayader/Rhayader goes to town, City Life, Lunar Sea, Aristillus, Song within a Song, and Chord Change. So I know Who we Are is poppy but it holds a special place in my heart as it was one of my first Camel songs.

CAMEL emerged from Guildford like a desert MIRAGE with the release of their first album in 1973. The band have since gone on to become as legendary as the flight of THE SNOW GOOSE, with its annual long migration from Canada to Mexico. Their fourth album was a concept album, released at a time when the concept album was King. When record buyers listened to the final track on the album, Lunar Sea (Lunacy), they may have thought they were experiencing a temporary bout of MOONMADNESS, as the song played on endlessly, in what's known as the "terminal groove" effect. Camel's next critically acclaimed album had their loyal fanbase performing RAIN DANCES of delight and they were BREATHLESS with anticipation for the follow-up album. Who can forget the stark image of the crucified astronaut on the cover of I CAN SEE YOUR HOUSE FROM HERE, where he's metaphorically NUDE and alone in the endless depths of space. THE SINGLE FACTOR determining his fate is whether there's a spacecraft waiting nearby to come to the rescue, or whether he's doomed to drift endlessly through space like a STATIONARY TRAVELLER, when all of his hopes will be crushed like DUST AND DREAMS in a HARBOUR OF TEARS. Camel had a return to form in 1999 with the release of their RAJAZ album, which gave A NOD AND A WINK towards their classic 1970's albums. 1. Moonmadness 2. Rajaz 3. Mirage 4. Nude 5. Rain Dances 6. Stationary Traveller 7. Harbour of Tears |

Mirage, Moonmadness and Snow Goose would be my top 3, with Rain Dances not far behind.
