sigue la caravana.......2006-01-04

que buen DVD, recoge diferentes etapas de la banda, desde sus inicios hasta el presente, y se puede apreciar su evolución musical, temas profundos, bien instrumentados, con los teclados y la guitarra y voz de Hastings como soporte. Lo mejor del sonido "Canterbury", recomendado a los fans del buen progresivo

KNIGHT IN LONDON,A (CARAVAN)

The band, the band, they're at it agian........2003-09-12

I have never been to a live Caravan show nor have I followed thier every move, but I really prefer the original line up. This show was recorded at the Astoria in London to a full house, in late 2002 I belive. I was expecting a mediocre show/video but it's actually pretty damn good!

First my gripes: Richard C's drumkit is mixed just a bit too soft (other than that the mix is excellent), and please I wish they and more bands would bring a REAL HAMMOND organ istead of these plastic digital keyboards. A Hammond/Leslie setup would add a whole thrilling new dimension to the sound. Alas, they opt for the sterile digital keyboards. such a shame.

Description

This is the classic Caravan line-up captured live in concert, featuring Pye Hastings, Richard Sinclair, David Sinclair and Richard Coughlan with flute and sax by Jimmy Hastings. Includes "Head Loss," "Videos of Hollywood," "Nine Feet Underground" and more!

Favourites Made Visual.......2004-02-22

The DVD of Caravan live that I ordered from Classic Rock Productions came in the mail today. As I suspected/hoped, it's the 1990 Bedrock TV production (released on CD in 1993 by Demon/Code 90), which was a very high budget affair -- 6 or 7 cameras (including a couple on booms), 24-track recording, huge stage, absolutely fabulous sound, and overall a great show. It was broadcast once in England (at like 3:30 am!) and then locked away in a vault for 13 years.

For some reason two short tracks on the Code 90 CD are NOT included in the DVD, "If I Could Do It All Over Again" and "In The Land of Grey and Pink" which is a shame, but what's here is great quality stuff. The CD has been a perpetual favourite of mine for the past decade & change so I'm happy to add the visuals accompanying it to my collection.

Jigsaw puzzles on a tree.......2002-12-17

There is no arse shakin, hair flinging or head bangin' goin on at this 1989 gig. But what we have is the original line-up including Pye's brother Jimmy Hastings on sax and very lyrical flute.
Their songs and sound have a unique and unforced, esoteric English tone to them. Pye and Richard Sinclair share vocals (they sing, not scream) with an air of sincerity.
There are times when the drummer really gets his kit and the whole band swinging, and Richard Sinclair's fretless Fender bass is musical and a great joy (look for the decal of a little mouse holding a giftbox on the front of the bass, quite funny).
To me this is the definitive lineup.

I bought this dvd with some reservation, but it gets played as much or more than any others...when I want to hear some good, unorthodox English rock yet not get blasted or srceamed at.

My criticism is they chose to use digital keyboards instead of real organ, electric piano (and analog synth if any).

This gets played in my home often and I'm sure I'll watch it again very soon.

Classic..........2002-07-11

I was lucky enough to buy this DVD on NEARFest 2002 Prog Rock festival for less and had it signed by current Caravan line-up! ( Not to mention that their show on NEARFest was great, easly the best festival performance!) I cannot rate myself as great Caravan/Canterbury fun, but I really enjoy their set!
The concert recorded on the DVD took place about 10-15 years long. Caravan was in the great form then ( and now) it played their classic: For Richard, White Wine, Ten Feet Underground, etc. The concert represents Caravan classic line-up: Sinclair bros, Pye Hastings, their original drummer, etc. Highly recommended for Canterbury nuts and all prog heads!
