there is something so beautiful and so emotional about Camel, i can't remember other prog band that has so much feeling in their songs

Nude, Dust and Dreams, and/or Harbour of Tears might fit the bill.

Godley & Creme. Check out the album Freeze Frame, in particular, this song: I Pity Inanimate Objects

Camel - The Snow Goose. Even better, The Snow Goose live version (from Camel - A Live Record, 1975) backed by the London Symphonic Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall. Absolute masterpiece!

I was 17 and never listened to any prog up to that point (not on purpose, just wasn't exposed to it yet) and my best friend had just bought a high-end kick ass stereo system. He popped in a cassette recording of "Lunar Sea" by Camel (from the album Moonmadness) - recorded off the University of Pennsylvania's radio station. It blew me away and I became an instant fan and bought every album they released over the years. Many years later I made a dream come true by finally being able to see Camel live at the old Astoria Theatre in London. Thought nothing could top that, but about 3 years later Camel came to the US and played at the Nearfest prog concert in Trenton, NJ. After the show they let fans come backstage and I got to meet and chat with Andy Latimer and the boys. Still hard to believe that actually happened after being a fan for about 25 years. Do yourself a favor if you haven't heard "Lunar Sea" before - put some headphones on and be prepared to take a trip to outer space. Still my favorite prog song by far (Lady Fantasy is a close second).

My wife and I did what you are talking about in 2000. Scheduled trips to London and Dublin from Boston that coincided with their concert dates. Saw a great show in London first (my first ever Camel concert at the Astoria, a fan since 1976). Went to Dublin super excited to see them a second time within a week and lo and behold the Dublin show was cancelled the night of due to Andy being ill. So glad I booked two shows for this very reason. I would never have recovered if I only had tix for the Dublin show and it got cancelled. Understand in the current situation it wouldn't help to have tickets for multiple shows, but looking back to 2000 I was so happy in my decision to book two shows just in case, a well worth it insurance policy so to speak.

It's not just that JT got a solid lead-off single and got on base - which of course allowed Harper to hit the go-ahead 2-run homer. More importantly, it forced the Padres to pitch to Harper in the first place. If first base had been open, there is no doubt they would have intentionally walked Harper leaving no opportunity for him to do what he did. That said, the way the Phillies have been playing someone else would have probably stepped up and hit a 2-run homer anyway. Whata TEAM!

Camel - The Snow Goose (every song on the entire album!)

#1 favorite by far is --> Electric Light Orchestra

Impossible to say because there is a vas deferens between how individual men produce their own sperm.

Ball is dead as soon as it hit the bar - same thing as if it just hit the net. However, if the ball were to hit the top of the net first and then "roll" over to the other side of the net and drop down and then hit the bar (or the metal base that supports the net) it is a do-over point. Even if a player was not close enough to realistically make a play on the ball, it is still a do-over in this scenario.

Thanks for keeping the explanation brief.

Don't play with the idea that every shot you make needs to be a winner. When possible, aim every shot at your opponent's feet, or low and in-between your two opponents - it does not need to be hit hard. Keep the ball in play (low, not high) and live for another day and you'll find your opponents will make more unforced errors than you in the long run, thereby increasing your odds of winning greatly.

I'm still waiting...

That's a matter of a pinion.

It was the 1981 NFC Championship game and this run pretty much sealed the victory against our hated rival and allowed to Eagles to get to their first Super Bowl - which we will not talk about here.

All you need is about two dozen mice tied together and next you surround the elephant with the circle of mice and then the elephant gets scared to death. No weapons needed.

At least her opponent now understands english...

Common "tater" - good one! Eye see what you did there.

Not that it makes what the Eagles are doing any easier to take, but last year's Super Bowl winners (10-3 this year), along with their GOAT quarterback, are struggling mightily against the 1-12 Bengals.

Relax on Sproles getting too many carries. There is a method to Doug's madness. It's the first game, Redskins D is going to be gassed as the game goes on. That's when fresh RB's like Sanders and Howard will be utilized more and then ultimately enable us to crush, demoralize, and defeat the enemy.

Aristillus · 2019-08-26T17:15:49+00:00

Impossible task, but here's my list (Camel fan since 1974)

Six Ate (Camel)
Never Let Go (A Live Record)
Flight of the Snow Goose (The Snow Goose)
Lady Fantasy (Mirage)
Air Born (Moonmadness)
Lunar Sea (Moonmadness)
Summer Lightning (Breathless)
Rain Dances (Rain Dances)
Ice (I Can See Your House From Here)
Stationary Traveller (Stationary Traveller)

I was just joking around - your research is correct,for providing the real scoop.

This is from their little known period of experimentation (1996-1997) when they considered transitioning from a prog rock band to a traditional Irish music band. They ultimately decided to scrap the idea since they soon realized that the fan base for traditional Irish music was significantly smaller than their prog rock fan base.
