Found a great Album for you to enjoy, plenty of tracks with wind instruments. Camel Moonmadness
Andrew (Andy) Latimer, the guitarist and flute player and founder of Camel, taught himself to play the flute, just like Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull did. However, Latimer's main instrument is the (electric) guitar with the flute as a kind of add-on.
Rhyader is a part of the instrumental concept album "The Snow Goose" from 1975.
In 2014 Camel did their "In from the Cold Tour" and opened with the entire The Snow Goose as the first set and a selection of some of Camel's best various tracks in the second set, encoring with a smashing version of "Lady Fantasy" (which can be found at Camel's CZcams channel). This tour is available on DVD, and I highly recommend it.
Besides guitar and flute, Latimer also plays keyboard and pan pipes.
Personally I consider Latimer on par with Ian Anderson, David Gilmour, Mike Oldfield, Mark Knopfler, and Eric Johnson as a composer/guitarist, and I think that his guitar solo on the title track from "Stationary Traveller" is unsurpassed.
Je suis d'accord, ce solo est excellent, il me donne des frissons à chaque fois, c'est peut être le morceau que je préfère de Camel, un très grand guitariste !...
@@lulbir Oui, mais "Lady Fantasy" live 2014 est aussi fantastique.
The sound in video was the original song and the images were from a live recording.
Check out the link I just posted for a live version and some great sax playing!
A bit weird that someone did that when the actual audio of the live recording is good quality!
I been waiting to someone to react Camel! Thanks for that! Awesome band! And I really like your reactions!
That "Oh!" when the other flute player (Mel Collins) appeared :-) I love your videos!
Thanks! This reaction channel is retired and I won't be posting new content here. Head to youtube.com/@helinefay for more and weekly reaction content :)
Gentle Giant live;: the advent of Panurge lots of flutes 😋
Mel Collins is an important English flutes and saxophones musician who played on records and in live performance with importants prog groups past and present among which; King crimson, Camel, Alan Parson's project and others.
From the album The Snowgoose, my favorite Camel album.
Camel was very popular in the Netherlands.
Nice reaction. I remember Camel from back in the day. You didn't notice his guitar because you're obsessed with flutes. :D
This song is from the album Snowgoose which is a highly recommended instrumental concept album and one of Camel's very best.
Thank you Heline. It was a interesting reaction video. Good luck with the puppy!🐶
Thank you! 😃
Great analysis Heline, Like you I didn't realize that there two playing initially as it sort of looked dubbed. I wish that I'd learned the flute as a child.
The other player was Mel Collins (i think) he was has a flute solo in "Cadence and Cascade" a from King Crimson (you reviewed Ian McDonald's I Talk to the Wind a while back) Mel replaced Ian in KC after Ian went on to found the band Foreigner ..he is a very well known sax player and like I said played the solo on Cadence and Cascade which I wish someone could explain to me how he pulls off those "chromatic" glissandos on someday. Maybe you might look at that one in the future? The problem is finding a live video of it. Camel has Supertwister also you could look at.
Ending solo on Cadance and Cascade is really beautiful. My favorite flute solo ever.
Mel Collins is a brilliant flute and sax player. Check out his (pre-King Crimson) band, Circus from 1969. They only recorded one album, but there are some nice covers of songs like “Monday Monday” and “St. Thomas”.
Based on the book 'The Snow Goose' by Paul Gallico
Originally, the album had the same name as the book, but the author didn't like that.
They first named the album Snow Goose and they added « inspired by Snow Goose
I saw Camel in concert twice in the 1970s, the first time was after the release of the "Mirage" album and then again after the release of "Snow Goose", they very definitely didn't use sheet music in those concerts. Personally I far preferred "Mirage" to the "Snow Goose" concept album. As for for Rhayader (pronounced Rayder by most people I know in Radnorshire) it is a small town in Mid Wales and also a character from the book "The Snow Goose" on which the concept album was based. Camel was regarded as a very talented bunch of musicians in the 1970s but never had the success of other prog-rock bands like Genesis, Supertramp or Jethro Tull.
I truly envy you it is one of my biggest dreams to see camel live one regret I will never be able to see Pitar Bardens play live
Love all your reaction videos from Progressive rock bands. I would reccomend Gentle Giant's live shows or even their albums... The most talentend musicians on Progressive Rock genre ever
yeah I saw gentle giant the first time on a four-way hit of acid. I play several instruments and they were so good. Absolutely mind-blowing. I've also seen camel. Seen Jethro Tull four times. Love the flute The Moody blues. Enjoyed the flute in King crimson, I talk to the wind... Ya seeing her reactions are really cool. Now I'm going to have to go watch her play. Enjoyed your comment.
Tremendous piece of music !
❤️❤️
I would like to see your reaction to the Hungarian band Solaris...which has flutist Attila Kollar as one of the leaders.!! Congrats on the channel!!!
If you haven't experienced them before, I recommend Ozric Tentacles, Jurassic Shift live
and the other flutist is Mel Collins who has played with EVERYONE, currently King Crimson.
The original Snow Goose album was recorded when the group was a four piece. Andy Latimer played the flute harmonized by Peter Bardens' Moog. This is from a later incarnation of the band when primarily Saxophonist Mel Collins was added and Richard Sinclair had replaced Doug Ferguson on bass.
Hi Heline, so glad you got to this!
I think there are sync issues with this video (for instance look at the tambourine accents not fitting with the beat at all), so breaths being taken while the flute sounding would be down to this.
This video is taken from a BBC 'Sight And Sound' programme from 1977/8 which was a simultaneous TV & radio broadcast. From memory, this is the audio from that broadcast, just there have clearly been some issues in the render and upload of the clip :-)
BTW, you might like to look out for John Hackett, brother of ex-Genesis member Steve Hackett. There is footage around of John playing with Steve, like from 5:05 here - czcams.com/video/lIB-nYHJNzE/video.html :-)
Interesting discussion - thank you.
Camel is a world wide famous band. Camel mainly plays symphonic tracks. Andy Latimer is famous for his guitar work like Gilmour from Pink Floyd. Andy plays quite a lot of flute on certain tracks which enhances the music sensation whilst listening. Camel is regarded as one of the best and well loved bands on the prog genre. They toured in 2019 and every ticket was sold out before the actual released date published.
I think you're right. This does sound exactly like the studio version. You are also correct that the second flute player is mainly a sax player.
Mel Collins is is worth looking into, as far as a wind instrumentalist in the rock genre. Mostly as a sideman in several bands, notably King Crimson. Very solid player.
Starless!
Also, if you are truly interested in flute as used in rock music I might (must) suggest Chris Wood of the group Traffic. Not at all of recent time, but one of the first to involve wind instrument as a main element in group composition. Of course this was not unusual in jazz music, and Traffic had much jazz element to their style.
Nice!
Love your reaction videos. Here's one to check out. 6 famous legends. Hubert Laws' flute solo is amazing as is the trombone solo by Bill Watrous.
Hi Heline, the way I hear it the recording is actually from the studio album and the video is from a live gig - hence the discrerpancies you heard. That's why you heard no saxophones. Here is the link to the actual live version czcams.com/video/IRYS-AecOM0/video.html&ab_channel=MarkMarcad%C3%A8
Andy Latimer also plays Pan Flute in either "Stationary Traveller" or "Long Goodbyes." Also, the part where the song changes with the organ is "Rhayader Goes to Town." The other instruments on the floor could be so they could play "Friendship," which is from the same album.
A good suggestion mostly because of the classical inklings, despite not having any flute in it, is Genesis' "Firth of Fifth."
um... Firth of Fifth DOES have a flute solo?
@@jonrael3443 It does, but that's not "the important bit" for most people.
You might be right about this video being mixed with studio music but it might be that the sound is lagging behind a bit. Lite travels faster than sound as I'm sure you know so you have to do some technical wizardry to sinc them up. Or so I've heard.
It's sounds the same as the recordversion of Flight of the snowgoose.
Has anyone requested The Moody Blues, Nights in White Satin, live? The late Ray Thomas is doing something that almost sounds like a bent note on the flute, though it might be just a chromatic descent. I can't tell how it is done. The official live video seems slightly out of synch.
Thank you for this! May I suggest a Jarkko Ahola live video "Walkin in the Air" from Tampere Cathedral.
Oops, someone sent to you a video with the original studio album audio with a video of a live recording which is a totally different beast. This spoil all. Well, may you can react another Camel song with flute, maybe Supertwister from the album Mirage. Cheers
Didn't know you have this channel! Nice video.
This song is from the album "The Snow Goose". It's almost entirely instrumental. The audio you are listening is the original studio recording of 1975. Someone must just put the audio on another video :-) .
The flutist and the guitarrist are the same (Andrew Latimer).
The last part is the begining of the next song (Rhayader Goes To Town).
I recommend you the song Nimrodel/The Procession/The White Rider from the album Mirage.
Cheers! :-)
Thanks for doing this one Heline. I was wondering what year this was from. Maybe someone could comment.on that ???
Would love to hear that too! The video I used on the reaction didn't have any info on that
1977
@@allenhays5126 thank you 👍
great album the snow goose.. hey Heline..check out Orlaith mcAuliffe..see what you make of a bit of trad...
Hello Dear,
Check this song , you many wanna do reaction video , imo it has the best flute solo of prog rock history.
CARAVAN - The Love in your eye
Yes, it's the studio version.
Here is the actual live version: czcams.com/video/IRYS-AecOM0/video.html
Camel never and have never used pre recordings or tapes etc. That was real, live and typical Camel. They were and are that good. Still going strong with their 50th Anniversary Tour in May and June in 2023 when that track might well be heard!
Its NOT the guiterplayer alone,the other one is the Saxophone player!But in this he doesnt play the sax..
Definitely played live. It was a BBC Sight and Sound in Concert broadcast in 1977 (I watched it at the time as a teenager, including Peter Bardens' Moog synth going horribly out of tune, so there were no overdubs or they would have corrected that). Mel Collins (on the left) is a great reeds/woodwind player, Andrew Latimer (guitar) played the flute on the studio album this track is from. Check out Jimmy Hastings (Caravan) as another great sax/flute player in the rock and jazz field, especially his sublime flute solo in Hatfield and the North's Didn't Matter Anyway.

The Sight and Sound concert was live, but this was not that audio. Someone laid the studio version over the S&S footage for some reason.
Please react to Michael Kiwanuka - Tell Me A Tale (Live At Hackney Round Chapel)
Yep, this is a studio recording overlaid onto the Sights and Sounds live footage. That's a shame, because the live recording is excellent. Not sure why someone felt the need, unless it was a copyright thing.
Has she reacted to shadowfax?
😂😂😂 Andy doesn't cheat lass...I've seen Camel live 3 times, they're EVEN better live, also he was classically trained, which one can imagine pissed his mentors off enormously..😂
I would love to see you reacting to Brazilian "Choro". Altamiro Carrilho was one of the finest Brazilian flutists: czcams.com/video/nyDfmqzpklo/video.html Thank you!
Don't know who sent you this video? this song should be about 12minutes long and not dubbed, the irony is, the live version is better than the studio version.
You should check this Heavy Psych band from Canada : Blood Ceremony their singer is also playing the flute and organ on many of their songs, eg :
Blood Ceremony - Goodbye Gemini : czcams.com/video/nRJwTS_2M5M/video.html
Ballad of the Weird Sisters : czcams.com/video/AH8sjRPFjzM/video.html
BTW its "Flautist"
I know the original album extremely well. They are most certainly miming to the original album. If you watch Pete Barden's hands during the organ solo the don't match what's being played.
Herbie Mann??
the flute playing was nothing special but it was very decent, the low notes were well formed. The famously non-famous band Maneige was probably inspired by them czcams.com/video/9tEwOMPuLnU/video.html
You are so open-minded.
I just love your reactions ...
Prog Rock before Genesis...
Definitely not pre recorded
Sorry. Yes this is not what was played. I have seen the gig
You missed Mel Collins...
PLEASE: thijs van leer -flute solo czcams.com/video/-xn1Iw6VGTY/video.html
Also, and I know there's no flute (just recorder), but I'd really love watching a classically trained musician react to Gentle Giant - On Reflection 1978 BBC [HQ] czcams.com/video/z6WSLG5r-wE/video.html
its not live
simply, this video is out of sync; it's all live
I would like to see your reaction to the Hungarian band Solaris...which has flutist Attila Kollar as one of the leaders.!! Congrats on the channel!!!
