FOOTAGE II

Another release by Camel Productions for the fans, featuring some live performances through the years (mostly old time Camel songs, thankfully) and also through the bands lineup changes over the years. This aspect also makes this DVD quite interesting (apart from the fact that it comes signed by Mr. Latimer himself..), allowing the fans to compare live performances from the original lineup, up to the time when only Latimer remains as an original band member.

To me personally, it's mostly the live performances by Andy Ward that catched my eye (a real master behind the drum kit). On Latimer's part, there's also time for some mistakes while playing, that you can forgive with a smile if your a die hard fan, wich will be the case of most everyone who purchases this DVD, I think.

Anyway, the fact that it was Latimer who gave the "OK" to include such "exposing" performances on this DVD demonstrates his got no problems in showing his not without faults, even as a guitar player (who would guess that?).

Regarding the songs, this compilation would't make it as a live CD, due to some glitches. For those purposes, Camel has enough CD's released over the years. But for the fan, searching for Camel footage, other than that available on the internet, with minor quality pictures and sound, this is a must.
