For sheer quality of music and exceptionaly strong production values this beats for me all the others. Many will disagree, after all there have been to date by my collection 8 of them (count them!). Indeed, with the release recently of 'Lunar Sea' we have two more versions of Lady Fantasy, and this here is by far the best.
There is something here that makes this live album really stand out. Whether it's the fact that we were lucky to see them at all with all the problems with the band personnel before the start of the tour or more likely the sheer joy and pleasure that these four guys got from working together is open to opinion.
For me, a die-hard fan of some 30 years, it just says that here is a band that never fails to deliver music of consistently high quality and enjoyment and long may it continue.

Perfectly, the album opens with Ice, a track from the album: I can See Your House From Here, I never get tired of hearing it. This surely must be one of the finest instrument tracks ever been written. After this serene start the tempo is soon lifted up with the second track Chord Change again another instrumental. This piece has lost none of it's chemistry over the years. The general mood of the album is somewhat laid back and the following song reflects this with the beautiful acoustic version of Fingertips, taken from the Stationary Traveller album. Next we go back to Camel's debut album for the first of the two versions of Slow Yourself Down, track four follows with the more traditional arrangement of the piece, taken from the concert and features some excellent organ. I noticed the album is slightly more instrumental than previous albums but the lack of vocals is compensated perfectly by the chemistry between both old and new bandmembers. Sahara, the only track taken from Rajaz best demonstrates this and all the musicians sound wonderfully close together. The CD moves into a rockier mode for the first of three tracks from Dust and Dreams, starting with Mother Road slipping into the atmospheric Little Rivers and Little Rose and finishing up with Hopeless Anger. And finally the last track from the concert is a Camel favourite, Lady Fantasy. I have no problem in recommending this CD. There is enough variation within the structure and arrangements of Camel's material for the release of another live

I have to agree with the previous review. This is the best live album yet. Not a duff track. I was amazed to hear that even Lady Fantasy (oh no, not again) sounded better than usual. Andy's guitar playing never better. Shame about the mess-up over the DVD of the concert. I can recommend this to any fan of the band.
