Been a long time since this. I remember watching this at home while my parents complained about the awful noise 😁

I never got to see Caravan, they never came to my neck of the woods (Hull) and didn't play any of the festivals I went to. Oddly, for the time (late 60s early 70s) no-one I knew had any of their albums, so all in all they passed me by until the 90s, when I bought a compilation double album on vinyl, which I really like. It still gets regular play.
Overall, I was never greatly into prog, except for King Crimson and the earlier Yes albums.
I saw Genesis once but remember nothing about them. Always loved the Softs and then the #GratefulDead got hold of me!

I'll give this one a listen. Thanks 😁

@Gillinger because I am Kentish woman, I really love the "Canterbury Sound" Caravan, Camel, Matching Mole, Soft Machine and National Health

It really chimes with me

When I am walking, I often wander through the North Downs and look over Kent carrying wine and blankets

In the Land of Grey and Pink is a fantastic album. Numerous times spent smoking 'punkweed' listening to that 🥴😵🤤
