NEVER LET GO

This was Camel's souvenir from their concert in Enschede, Holland following the release of 1992's Dust And Dreams CD. The first CD brings some old stuff with new instrumentation and arrangement. The title track is the first song perfromed here with great arrangement and soaring guitarwork and vocals of Andrew Latimer. There are some numbers from Mirage and Snow Goose (as always Rhayader & Rhayader Goes To Town). Very nice performance of Ice (Brilliant rendition!) and some numbers from Nude & Breathless. CD 2 however brings the complete Dust and Dreams in its entirety with execellent performance of songs like Rose Of Sharon, The End of The Line and Mother Road. The CD finale is the great song from Mirage, Lady Fantasy which has been performed here with sheer emotion and maturity. Although I love Coming Of Age as well but Never Let Go also stands in Camel's repertoire as a pioneeriing live effort. The only downfall of the CD is the lack of any songs from The Single Factor & Stationary Traveller. The rest is classic Camel stuff.
