Oh, if that DVD will include Kit, I will defenitely buy it at once, mark my words. ;D

Mmm. I don't know, I didn't buy Footage I either. I think Camel would do much better if they'd release a complete concert from the past, not all these short video's. I have their first compilation of old and new, but although it's nice to see the history of the band like this, I don't need two more even if Kit appears in one track.

Does your Camel DVD have some videoclip featuring Kit?

admin said: Does your Camel DVD have some videoclip featuring Kit?Yes, Curriculum Vitae (Camel Production, 2003) contains a video-clip in which Kit is featured while the band plays City Life from Nude. I don't think it's a live-recording though. Kit is also briefly introduced, when the band-change is mentioned (Dave and Richard Sinclair out - Kit and Colin Bass in). In the booklet Kit is also mentioned, including two pictures (one of his time in Camel, one a recent one), his other bands (HTM and Tone Ghost Ether), his website and the time he was in Camel (1979-1983). This is the info from the first Footage-DVD, which says Kit is on it too. You can figure out on which track he is, I guess: Camel Footage features performances from Andrew Latimer, Peter Bardens, Andy Ward, Doug Ferguson, Richard Sinclair, Mel Collins, Colin Bass, Jan Schelhaas, Kit Watkins, Chris Rainbow, Ton Scherpenzeel, Richie Close, Paul Burgess, Mickey Simmonds, Dave Stewart, and Foss Patterson. TRACK LISTING: 1973 - Never Let Go (Guildford Civic Hall) 1975 - The Snow Goose, Friendship, Rhayader Goes To Town (Old Grey Whistle Test) 1977 - First Light, Metrognome, Unevensong, Lunar Sea, Rain Dances (Sight and Sound) 1981 - City Life (Old Grey Whistle Test) 1984 - Captured (Hammersmith Odeon, London) 1992 - Hopeless Anger, Whispers in the Rain (Amateur Footage of low quality but a great gig at the Town & Country, London) 1997 - Preparation, Dunkirk (previously unreleased footage from Billboard Live, Los Angeles) BONUS TRACK: Left Luggage (jam recorded at Little Barn Studios) From: Camel shop. |

The tracklisting of the new dvd will be:
Aristillus (Intro) Arubaluba (Guildford Civic Hall, 1973) White Rider (Hammersmith Odeon, 1976) Another Night (Hammersmith Odeon, 1976) Rhayader (Sight and Sound at The Hippodrome, 1977) Rhayader Goes To Town (Sight & Sound The Hippodrome 1977) Skylines (Sight and Sound at The Hippodrome, 1977) Highways Of The Sun (Sight & Sound, The Hippodrome, 1977) Never Let Go (Sight and Sound at The Hippodrome, 1977) Lies (The Old Grey Whistle Test, 1981) Drafted (Hammersmith Odeon, 1984) Slow Yourself Down (Acoustic version at The Troubadour, Los Angeles, 2000) Eyes Of Ireland (Acoustic version at The Troubadour, Los Angeles, 2000) Fox Hill (The Catalyst, Santa Cruz, 2003) The Last Farewell (Outro) I guess Kit will be only featured in Lies. |

I like some Camel songs from the 70s and if Kit is featured, well I'm gonna buy the DVD, even if it's just one song. Never heard 'Lies', ...is that a good one?

Kit does indeed appear on the version of Lies but you don't really see him at all ...... just a few glimpses in the distance. For some reason, this is from a TV appearance and they are miming to the Lies track and Jan Schelhaas, of Caravan fame, mimes the keyboard solo. I believe all the other tracks except 1 are true live recordings.
That said, both Footage I & II are well worth getting............ now if only we could have something similar for HTM !!  |

What a waste to not have more of Kit on the DVD, which makes me not wanna buy this DVD. Thanks for the info. We have been discussing about a HTM DVD a lot in this forum,and it would be great to see some Kit on that one. |

It tells us Nobody Knows is a song from fusion-artist Neil Larsen, originally called Jungle Fever and called this way because no one could remember the title of the song. |
