- HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ANDY WARD
To mark Andy Ward's 65th birthday today, 28 September 2017, we are highlighting an excellent live recording of 'Lunar Sea' from the 1976 album 'Moonmadness'.
When the band were unable to find a suitable concept to follow the success of 'The Snow Goose', they decided to do an album of songs that reflected the personalities of the individual members. The dynamic and complex 'Lunar' Sea was written for Andy who chose the title because he liked the play on words of lunar sea-lunacy.
Andrew Latimer calls Andy one of the most innovative drummers of his time as well as an "incredibly sensitive player". Peter Bardens commented in the Curriculum Vitae DVD that when he first joined the band he was "especially impressed" with Andy Ward and Doug Ferguson as a rhythm section describing how tight they were.
We wish Andy a happy birthday and celebrate this milestone with this fabulous clip and wish him many returns of the day.

One of best Progressive Rock Bands in history !...
When a 9 minute song feels like 3 minutes you know it's a hell of a song!
Andy Ward is just magical. He might not be a technical beast but he has a special touch that I have never experienced in rock drumming. For my ears his unique lyrical style is only present in the sound of Manu Katche although they are very different styled drummers. What a loss for Camel and what a loss for Andy Ward also.
This is amazing jazz...and perfect musicianship...
This is the first time I've ever listened to Camel although I've heard of them. Man, I've got some catching up to do...this was awesome.
This is such a brilliant performance. The whole band is working together fantastically.
I have to be honest this is the first song I have heard from this awesome band. Growing up in the 60s and 70s never heard of them. I am saying up late tonight.
Extremely underrated band!
Andy Ward. A lifelong hero of mine. Awesome!
Andy Ward 5/8 drumming here flows so well and powerful. So inspirational.
Absolutely mesmerizing
Simply the best guitarist ever. Such emotion and feel.
This was my favorite all time Camel lineup. Magic.
absolutely amazing band one of the best of all times !!!
I thought I knew every prog rock band from the late 60's through the mid 70's,. I missed these guys! How did they fly under my radar?
What an amazing performance! these guys are so talented!
A very happy birthday to Andy Ward. His drums arrangements are outstanding, magical, poweful, unbelievable!
I've alwayz loved the sound of single-headed concert toms, that punchy boom-y sound.
Outstanding performance! I love this song and all the feeling and intensity in it. Thank you Camel!
this is a fantastic presentation , Latimer , Bardens and Ward plays this song with their heart.
to me, they are the magnum opus of symphonic prog. this band's legacy lives on, really love their tunes
Great song
The old times
I think Andy Ward is one of the five best drummers in Rock History
one of the most amazing live perfomances i have ever seen
WOW! So great. I loved this album dearly and played it all the time. Still have my vinyl copy!
Still great music after all these years.
Happy late b-day! No matter how deep one dives into the classics, there's always more. And it gets better I swear. Its like someone is time travelling back there and comin up with new stuff lmao
Andy . happy birthday. you will always be a great drummer
One of the happiest days of my life was when I discovered this song listening an k7 tape!
This is real magic! In the beginning of the studio version, I hear the sound of the opening of Secret of Mana, an epic game, since then I was hooked on especially this song. It's like gaming, this music, it's a great universe to be in.
My God-to be at that concert in the presence of such musical giants
Found this after watching a RUclips prog rock compilation with Lady Fantasy.
I had never heard of Camel and at first I wasn't sure I liked it. I wasn't sure how long I could listen to it. Then I became... how do I describe it... mesmerized... all the way to the end...
Moon madness love this band ha im 66 now posting this February 2019
The brightest stars burn the brightest. Happy belated B'day Andy. We miss you!
Thanks to RUclips for suggestion, finally something different for me to discover in addition to my beloved early genesis, caravan, yes ...almost a combo of all of those, love the keyboards and guitar especially...cheers guys !
Real musicians. Absolute class!
First rate prog driven by the bouncing bass of Canterbury ‘ finest Richard Sinclair ; well done Camel
Here I am listening to the music and it sounds amazing
Really fine sound. Strong ensemble playing with impeccable soloing. Content-wise, influence of Mel Collins-era King Crimson apparent (especially in jam section when the horn shines.)
First saw Camel in 1972 twice , supporting Barclay James Harvest , a year before they had released their first album.
A relaxed song does not have to be slow to be relaxed... even a faster one like this can swing and take you away like a gentle breeze. Lunar Sea is the best example for musical craftmanship on the highest level: Grooving and swinging rhythm and melodies as soft as cool air in the morning. Nobody else than Latimer understood that way of playing. One of my very favourite Camel Tracks beside Air Born and Preparation / Dunkirk. Thanks for posting. Uuuh, by the way: Nice to see Mel Collins playin' saxofone... In german television he was temporalily known from the Harald Schmidt Show (Helmut Zerlett Band). Best regards from Germany.
Banda fenomenal!
Realized this might be an official Camel upload. I forgot about these guys. Blessed artistry. I remember the album cover controversy for Mirage from decades back.
Incredible performance Thanks Camel
Is that simple 5 wonderful musicians together
c'est un groupe vraiment génial
amazing music, amazing band.... in january of 2018!
What a beautiful way to play "rock" instruments !
God, the guitar player is so good.
look at Andy , he was playing so intense even when he was young.(look at his face while playing his guitar )
Reminds me of Steely Dan with space age! I love this sound!
Amazing performance and Thank Camel for the upload.
Back in the day when Latimer played Les Pauls.... God, I loved that tone. Clear, but rich, and just singing. Lyrical.
Happy Birthday, Andy.
simply awesome
RIP Peter
I think this was the same tour / year that I saw them at the Roxy in Los Angeles. About a minute into the first song there was a power outage and everything came to a halt. It took something like 45 min. or more to get it restored and they started over from the beginning. Great show in a nice small club with great sound.
Epic....to say the least!
Heart beat contentedly ...
Впервые услышал эту группу,аж удивился,какая музыка,очень неплохо,почти Pink Floyd,но очень своеобразно,затягивает.....
Congratulations Andy!!!!!
love it!!!
Dang they good!
me encanta Mel , uno de los mejors lives de Camel ... I love Mel , one of the best live from Camel
I remember seeing them live in Arnhem Holland somewhere around late 70 ties. I believe it was in the Stokvishal.
Love this song. Like the Hammersmith video better with creative angles and the original, long-haired hippie, spacey band. Just bought the "Moonmadness" t-shirt off Camel Productions. Keep riding the musical Rajaz.
Andyyyy love youuuu
Meravigliosi !!!
Je suis un fan du rock progressif mais ce groupe je ne ai pas connu, suis passé a côté
Just getting to know this band and i must say that this is really tickling my fancy. :D
Way to gooooo
Gostei muito
the best
Camel onwards in rock!
♡♡♡♡♡
This is jazz!
similar at You Gong-Monster...fusion music to trip...bellissimo
I will have to locate a functioning turntable for the purpose of listening to the potpourris of music I collected over the years!!! That will be fun!!!.........
like it!!
Camel had more soul than their prog contemporaries. A lot of the flashy and over the top prog, that got more notoriety, lacks the feeling.
THIS IS A GREAT BAND... A GREAT JAZZ BAND. WHAT'S THE PROBLEM ABOUT IT?
WOW. So this is where Marillion came from?
When music was MUSIC! and even "pop" music dared to be inventive and a little "daring" at times..
Love the string-synth and seagull-cry guitar. Didn't like the repetitive bass sound in the original.
I noticed that Siri didn’t like ‘potpourri’.
Not crazy about the sax or whatever it is. Just me.
The synth is out of tune!
Mell Collins also play in King Crimson right ?
One of many underrated groups. It’s just that in the 70s there were too many experiments and too many good groups.
Moonmadness is one of my favourite albums of all time.
Air Born is my favorite Camel tune. It's more dreampop / shoegaze than Prog, no squiggly superfluous bits, just a lovely trippy song.
La grande époque !
Bardens,Latimer,Ward,Sinclair et Collins = extraordinaire !!
Super morceau,super musiciens,super band et super album qu'est Moonmadness. Fantastique et merveilleuse musique,merci beaucoup Camel !!
Andy Ward, what a great drummer! And Latimer, a great guitarist, one of my favorites!
Andy Ward was so beyond to his age. As a musically; He was like a space-rock drummers of this age; he has special ability... Especially with Ferguson's impressive bas lines.. VIVA CAMEL!!! (come to ISTANBUL)
The performance is so professional...so flawless. As I'm 26, I wish I could travel back in time and assist to those amazing gigs !!!!
Camel, some of the world's finest jazz rock EVER.
I bought a Camel album when i was 14 csuse the artwork at the album, and fuck yeah what a music
Transported me back to the 70’s, saw them 4 times in Liverpool in that time, still listen to these guys, brilliant music and the best times.
Oh my god this was such a great lineup. In 77 I somehow wandered into your dressing room at oxford polytechnic, where you all kindly signed my copy of moonmadness (Of course I still have it). I was a shy youngster so am still amazed I did that. But I guess that's what young people do when they are inspired by the music. BTW everything sounds just as good on Ichigo ichie as it did back then.
No fakery, no distractions, no Dj, no looping. There was a time you had to be that fking good to be in a band. Long live real music.
These guys are my age and I never heard of them. A friend 15 years younger turned me on to them. Excellent.
