5 stars The CD tracks need updating as the latest version has a good number of extra tracks.

From what was one of the greatest live albums this has now become possibly the best live album ever (although Second Out may still JUST have the edge).

The music is glorious and the addition of the extra tracks (mostly from Raindancers) has given the two CDs the feel of a full concert.

The Snowgoose is played magnificently and in full on the second CD and the first CD is as close to a live 'best of' for the time as is possible.

A sublime version of Lady fantasy completes the first CD before we are treated to the epic that is The Snowgoose.

If you are only ever to buy one camel album, this should be it.

If you don't buy any more after making this your first purchase, I'll be VERY surprised.

I know that the 'is it worth 5 stars?' warning flashes up when you give an album such a rating but to be frank the message for this opus should be 'do you want to award 6 stars?'

| 5/5 |
