Camel on the Road 2000-2001
Taking off on August 25th 2000, Camel plunged into intense two month world tour, gigged through California, Japan, Germany, Poland, Italy, France, Spain, Belgium, Holland, UK and Scotland, Ireland and Greece.
On March 22nd 2001 a three weeks tour took place in Centeral and South America. Camel visited Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, Costa Rica and Mexico for the first time.
On the Y2K tour, Andrew Latimer and Colin Bass were be augmented by the French Canadians Guy LeBlanc on Keyboards and Denis Clements on Drums, forming one of Camel's tightest and most energetic line up in many years. Camel Productions originally intended to have Clive Bunker (of the Jethro Tull fame) join in on drums, but at last moment had to cancel - only two weeks before the tour began. Nevertheless, Denis Clements took his place, learning the role within 10 days.
A detailed chronology of the Y2K tour is printed in the inner sleeve of The Paris Collection CD, which you can also read here.
