| Notes |
| Recorded at The Birchmere, Alexandria, VA, USA. Very good audience recording. From the info file: Camel - The Lostbrook Tape Series - Volume 88 I was on a break at work, browsing through the Weekend Section of the Washington Post, when I came across the Birchmere listings and saw this: 'Camel - Farewell Tour.' I almost fell out of my chair, then quickly convinced myself that it couldn't be 'my' Camel. Minutes later, after some quick research, I had tickets to see a band that I never dreamed I would see. There hadn't been many opportunities to see Camel in NY in the 70's, but I had missed them all and wasn't about to miss this one. I arrived at the Birchmere hours early and guaranteed myself a seat at Andy Latimer's feet. I've seen some great guitarists up close, but by the middle of 'Lady Fantasy,' my mouth was wide open and I'm pretty sure I was drooling.

A guy at my table noticed that I was taping and mentioned that he had a friend who was also recording. He started to point his friend out to me, but my 'taper radar' went off and I spotted him instantly. He was sitting the perfect distance from the stage, dead center, by himself, wearing a vest with lots of small pockets. I still remember the deadly serious look on his face. I would have recognized him anywhere. I'm not calling this Lostbrook release 'uncirculated' because I sent copies to several people at my table. In return, I received a CD of the other taper's work. His is superior, but mine is still quite nice. 01 Introduction (1:06) 02 Lady Fantasy (12:07) 03 Unevensong (6:48) 04 Hymn To Her (5:58) 05 Echoes (8:41) 06 Drafted (5:00) 07 Rhayader>Rhayader Goes To Town (7:27) 08 Lunar Sea (8:30) 09 Another Night (6:58) 10 Ice (9:07) 11 Spirit Of The Water (3:18) 12 Fox Hill (9:25) 13 Arubaluba (6:59) 14 Mother Road (6:18) 15 For Today (14:21) 16 Never Let Go ((10:08) Andrew Latimer - guitar, vocals Colin Bass - bass, vocals Tom Brislin - keyboards Denis Clement - drums |
