Brilliant! I had the great privilege of touring with Caravan as lighting designer about 45 years ago. Overwhelming musicianship, beautiful people. Such a thrill to see them them all. We've all got less hair but the same lust for life. God bless you Maurice, a true treasure x
I can't imagine how it was to live in the 70s while this wave of prog rock rose. I really love this songs and I'm not even 20 years old! Fortunately I can enjoy prog rock nowadays thanks to the internet, but I'm sure it was a whole other thing back in the day
The Canterbury sound. This band.with all its members past and present deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. I've been a fan always and live they just always hit the spot somewhere deep the recess of your mind called bliss.
Geoffrey Richardson is a beast! He takes the guitar solo also. The new drummer is also a master. I miss Richard Sinclair on bass and singing with the Caravan.
Marco , I agree. This is pretty darn good , I'm considering seeing them again this autumn. The singing on this is a tad below par... ... I'll probably go tho'
I'm not sure how this is possible, I bought the Land Of The Grey and Pink Album in 1970 and a little while Caravan performed in the town I was living in, great band, that was 52 years ago yet I'm still only 35....wow that was some aceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed :) Far Out Man! Nine Feet Underground (Live) Caravan Look at the day that is dawning, what do you see with your eyes? Think of me now while you're yawning, sunshine the tears from my cries What I see I know is real, what I touch I know I feel If I don't care for what you say, it won't mean much to me today For I see your world that is living, my mind is yours, yours is mine Don't talk to me bout forgiving, so much to do, no more time All my love goes straight to you with just a thought for something new All I have is what you feel with hands in mouth, you gently kneel What I see I know is real, what I touch I know I feel All my love goes straight to you, all my love is you There's a place where I can go, where I listen to the wind singing Songs of happiness I know, and it brings it all back again Somewhere deep inside of me, there's a song that I can sing Jigsaw puzzles on a tree, and it brings it all back again Will the day be warm and bright, or will it snow? There are people waiting here who really want to know And sometimes I think of wine, songs and laughter flowing free People talking all the time, and it brings it all back to me Will the day be warm and bright, or will it snow? There are people waiting now who really have to know Can't you feel it in the air? I wonder what it's meant to be Its the thought that can't' be spared, and it brings it all back to me Yes it brings it all back to me
There is in yt a guy with keyboards etc who does the whole piece good singer also. There is a certain season in The Everglades. Outing theologies it turns Grey and pink for sunset
Trop touchant de voir, 40 ans après, ces mecs rejouer parfaitement (même si la voix n'est plus très sure !) un des plus beaux morceaux de la musique progressive. Magnifique !
Came here surprised they still play around. And holy mother, I wasn't expecting them to make this 50 years old piece evolve so much. They really nailed this
I've discovered this song not too long ago, but I was mesmerized. I remember I've listened to it in a loop whilst I was driving to France for about 400 miles. Never tired to listen to it....and the violin solo....goose bump
Some friends turned me onto Caravan in fall, 1974. I saw the band open for Wishbone Ash November, 1974 Cunning Stunts tour Wishbone Ash: " There's the Rub" My second Caravan show wasn’t until 2002 at that year's Nearfest, held in Trenton at Patriots theater . "If but for Caravan, where would I be?!"
just saw these legends live at the tea rooms 14/10/2021.me and my mate took our kids 14 and 16 caravan proper rocked it kids were blown away great night awesome musicians.😎
Desde el año de 1971, descubrí a este grupo, me pareció un abanico de posibilidades dentro del rock progresivo. Y hoy y siempre es de lo mejor de lo mejor.
Fuck, this is awesome. Musical masters. I cant tell you how many times I have seen them live. Oh go on then I will, 100's. Seriously. Every member is stunningly brilliant! .I love every member, but highlight the drummer, Geoff Richardson and Pye ( I cant quite get those high notes anymore ) Hastings. One of many places I have seen Caravan was at The Catacombs, Wolverhampton. Rammed, totally rammed with fans. Smoke, Ale and the sound of Caravan. I hate the saying "better than sex"............But, jeeeez they were! Why oh why did the not get much greater recognition?
Excellent-what a great comment-this is timelessly beautiful music and I've always maintained way too short at 18 minutes!!Used to see them back in the 1970's at University in London and they were first class-started catching them again in the last 10 years on their sporadic tours and never been disappointed-as you say,Pye 's voice has gone but hey-better than dropping it to a different key i reckon.The star for me is Geoff Richardson-multi instrumentalist par excellence and a great front man-I could listen to him solo on the violin/viola all night-consummately lyrical and musical his soloing on the live versions of Nightmare always reduce me to a state of near tears.
This is such a monumental work! I don't know where to start, or where to end. I could listen to this at least once a day, and never, ever tire of listening. So creative, and so fresh. Okay, so I'm an old guy, but this medley really lights my fire. It's a pity that I visited Canterbury for one night in 1991, and didn't think to visit haunts of "the Canterbury scene".
Great classic Canterbury Prog band. I fell in love with Caravans music in the early 2000’s. I was very pleasantly surprised to find this gem of a band late.
It's well... Caravan! Pie Hastings (founding member), Geoffrey Richardson (since 72), Jan Schelhaas (since 76), Jim Leverton (since 95) and Mark Walker (since 2011)
