You’re right when you say they don’t do music like this anymore you mean the commercial world. Commercial world is an entertainment field. Do you realize that we have 8 billion people in the world.. of course, people put out quality music that is on a high, artistic level. Of course, people are out there who are extremely gifted just like these people. The commercial world is an entertainment field. It is not a music industry. We were lucky to even have people like this for a little while, they were few and far between most of what they put out it’s just pure entertainment. It wasn’t fair to inspire anyone musically.
What a great way, to have a first date !! I am glad I got to see them live, as well. From 1975-1981. Been a big fan of theirs, since I was 17. Am 66 now, and still a big fan.
I had the pleasure of recording Renaissance with our mobile recording studio in a hall in north London. We were producing tapes that were to be shipped to FM radio stations in the States prior to their first US tour. It was a lot of fun and afterwards Annie invited us all back to her place and she made us all supper. Good times
Thank you very much for these memories, Robert ! I could never see Renaissance on stage alas (and I discovered them only in 1990/91) but I guess Annie Haslam is a really lovely person from all the interviews I read.
I’m from 1962. My older brother was 5 years older. Around these years - say 1974 - he guided me to Genesis (the Peter Gabriel years!), Renaissance, Gentle Giant and the likes. Still listening to those bands today - I guess I can never thank him enough.
I was born in 1964. My older brother was 6 years older then me. He did the same thing. Including ELP, Pink Floyd and Yes. He got me my first Album and it was Renaissance. Oddly my sister who is 5 years older then me got me into Santana, Jefferson Airplane/Starship, CSN. And my dad got me into Jazz and my Piano teacher got me into classical. I got myself into New Wave. Still love Renaissance and ELP etc.
😍💗 Erinnert mich so an etwas, dass ich nie erlebt habe, aber erleben wollte. Jahrgang 66. Ich war noch ein Kind. Aber mein Freund war auf einem Konzert und schwärmt immer noch davon.
What a brilliant band. Their musical arrangements and Annie's angelic voice made this a band you had to see live to appreciate how great they were. I know Annie is still touring, but this original lineup were astounding to see live.
I saw them live five or six times when they were at their peak; every show was as good or better than the last one. I saw them for the first time when they opened for Climax Blues Band. Truly one of those times when the opening act was head and shoulders better than the feature band.
Keith Relf and Jane Relf were the original singers and guitars (Keith). 1969 to 1970. Keith died playing guitar barefooted electrocuted. It was a good band enjoyable relaxing.
I couldn't agree with a comment more, I grew up in the seventies and got to see them five or six times.I was incredibly fortunate to have seen them during the recording of probably one of best live albums ever made at Carnegie Hall.They were just an unbelievably good band on stage.I will always love this version of Renaissance, every member of the band was extremely talented and contributed to the finished product and Annie Haslam'voice still to this day sends chills up and down my spine.I think I might still be in love with her like I was as a teenager.Definitely one of the best bands to ever trod the boards.
What's great is that she makes it to the Pittsburgh Area every year....either at the Homestead Carnegie Library (they've got an awesome small music hall) or the Palace Theater in Greensburg.
I’m in tears watching this! First saw them open for the Strawbs at the Tower Theater and was hooked..saw every show they did in Philadelphia after that. Amazing, beautiful shows…. Wonderful memories of seeing them and following them for years. Met Annie at a TV studio show that was aired on PBS, I think I was the only girl in that audience. She was funny and so sweet. Still get goosebumps listening to her voice! Still have all my ticket stubs from the shows. Al Stewart would open for them on some of their tours…I miss those concerts. So great to see these videos now so many years later…
I grew up in Philly. We were very fortunate to have great FM radio stations that exposed us to Renaissance and other bands. Very glad to go thru high school in the 1970s.
Saw them at the Towery as well…Annie wore a beautiful pink dress with crystals that reflected all over the theatre. What a magical night! One of my favorite memories. Also saw them at the Valley Forge Music Fair…what a fabulous local venue that was..sadly many years gone.
I love hardrock,metal, but my beautiful late wife turned me on to this incredible music. I still love all types of music, but this something......😊 damn! Thank you Dorene aka Rainbow. In my heart forever.
Dollars down the penny drain Frozen in the clouds Dream away the last of pain In waterfalls of sounds Float across the icy pools Leaves with curl and sway Now your mind is floating cool And you can find the way Can you understand you can really understand When the darkness comes you still shine Open up your eyes and make the day shine sunshine now Open up your dreams and and make the way shine sunshine now Can you understand you understand Can you understand you understand Open up your life and make your lifetime sunshine now Open up your soul and make your lifeline sunshine now Can you understand you understand Can you understand you understand Dancing without moving now Growing with your soul One with all around you now Related to the all Purple mist around your hair Eyes are fading blue Smiling into everywhere Love is coming through
First time I saw them, they were opening for Climax Blues Band. Renaissance was so much better. I saw them six or seven total times; any time they were in or near Indianapolis, I was in the crowd. Every performance was as good or better than the last one I saw. Truly one of the great bands ever.
I heard Prologue and Ashes are Burning when I was a 17 year old student…. They remain two of my favourite albums today, 50 years later…what a voice.. what musicality…simply wonderful
In summer 1977, I was home from university before my senior year, and worked f/t. I put a lamp timer on my el cheapo stereo and set it up to "turn on" at 5:45am. It would play side one of Ashes are Burning for 15 min. before my alarm clock went off at 6am. So I woke up to Can You Understand every morning that summer... good days 😍
My best friend played me this album in 1975. It was one of those occasions when I had to buy the album after hearing it. That happened a lot when I was a teenager. There was so much great music in those days, It was how I got into Yes, King Crimson, ELP, Deep Purple, Zeppelin, and Mike Oldfield.
Incredible.. great video and sound compared to all others I've seen. I love watching Jon Camp on bass.. From an interview with Jon : "I spent a lot of time with Stanley Clarke and he can knock spots off me, but once we were sitting on a plane and he said to me, "I might be faster than you, but I could never be as melodic as you." I thought that was really nice and we had a wonderful time together."
Vor genau 50 Jahren habe ich, damals 20 Jahre alt, diese großartige Gruppe das erste Mal gehört. Heute mit 70 klingt es noch genau so schön wie damals! 😎👍❤️
I'm so glad I was fortunate enough to discover this band back in the 70s...living with their music for all these decades. What a gift! Annie has long been my favorite female vocalist; angelic, ethereal, yet at times folksy. While her male compatriots were amazing musicians and of course sublime composers, melding classical with rock to create their unique voice. RIP Michael & John, such a huge loss.
Don't say "no one" because that's clearly not the case. Say rather, open-minded, discriminating and appreciative listeners know about Renaissance. If you know about them, consider yourself lucky to be part of a select few who have been blessed to witness such love and joy !
Great music. Renaissance is a 'new' discovery for me. Annie Haslam - what a voice! A very nice woman too. Update 02/2022: Last week i've bought my first Renaissance vinyls. I'm very happy. (Renaissance, Illusion, Prologue, Ashes Are Burning, In The Beginning, Live At Carnegie-Hall, Novella and A Song For All Seasons ... a few days later Scheherazade and Azure D'or)
@@mawel1955 As far as I know she´s not retired nor Renaisance is over. Simply They had to delay plans after all this C19 thing is over, should that happen. I was lucky enough to see the 2017 incarnation of this band, being in Argentina that was a miracle. I met Annie in person, she aged reasonably well and her voice is intact at 70.
I saw the classic line up perform live twice in London. Absolutely brilliant. I once almost swore at Annie down the phone when she phoned me. I was so shocked that it was her, I almost used a couple of very bad words!!
The version of the band with Annie Haslam, Michael Dunford, Jon Camp, John Tout & Terry Sullivan. I never saw the version with Keith & Jane Relf etc. Although I do have both thier original albums on CD.
Back in 75 I was moving on from my posting to another life's journey. My housemate wanted to exchange one remember me album. He got Edgar Winter, and I got Rennanisance Live. Fast forward almost 50 years, the album is just as potent, powerful, and persistently my ear orgasm. It is true we lived and loved and laughed in the best music era of all time. Terry
This video demonstrates that was not only Annie Haslam a great singer, she ALSO loved the music, that progressive rock groove that Renaissance were pioneers of.
Fico feliz de ver tantos brasileiros curtindo tão boa música, onde a maioria descerebrada só ouve subgêneros musicais...significa que nem tudo está perdido ainda 👍
Isso mesmo Charles Bronson, o mundo ainda tem salvação. Rejeitemos a mídia imunda que todos os dias enfia na cabeça dos jovens de hoje, os subgêneros musicais
The same essentially goes for me. This band skirted around the very edges of my music radar from the early 1990s to the late 2000s, but I didn't actually encounter any of its music until RUclips algorithmed this onto me last week. I added this video and the original studio track ( ruclips.net/video/wwrjZZ0gQgw/видео.html ) to my playlist of favorite individual music tracks.
You do indeed have a lot of catching up to do. Enchanted with Annie and the band almost 50 years ago, saw them live in Seattle. Turn of the Cards is an album for all time.
Annie had such a different set of moves on stage that are signature to her performance . I especially like how she often had her hands on her hips as she would dance around the stage when it was not time for her to sing. Love that move.
Épico !! ! !! Que época grandiosa. Que bom ter um registro como este. Raro não é o vídeo. Raro é ver pessoas que entendam e valorizem essa classe de música.
Words cannot describe the greatness of this band and their music. Miss Haslam's voice is the icing on this great 7 course meal of awesome tonal experience.
Wow! This takes me right back to the '70s. What a great voice Annie had and the band were just superb. The syncing is excellent. Thanks for the memories!!!
Watching this band perform live (or in the studio) is a real treat for me. The musicians in this band, especially the bass player, were top notch. And Annie's vocals, WOW, just wow!
Era só a minha mãe sair de casa que o meu irmão mais velho tocava essa musica com volume alto em casa quando eu era criancinha kkkkk Cresci com essa musica épica e vejo a qualidade dessa musica ainda é insuperável até hoje! Sensacional!!!!
@@gabrielnunes3497 não achei um registro que comprove a ligação ou influência de cultura celta! Mas eu acredito que tenha sim. Garimpando sobre eles, bora?
I saw Renaissance at Penn State in the mid 1980's. They were and still are master musicians and Annie is a tremendous vocalist! There are very few who even come close to her singing abilities.
I have the Live at Carnegie Hall double album and Camera Camera on vinyl. I bring them out occasionally to hear music as it was in the 70s, beautiful and complex and musical. Not rap, not hip-hop.. I also saw Renaissance in a live concert from the Camera Camera tour. One of the best shows I've ever seen! Annie, you have the voice of an angel.
I still think that the best concert of my life was in 1975 when Renaissance opened for Caravan at the Glasgow Apollo ( now log gone) just as "Turn of the Cards" was released... Annie was on sparkling form and the band got so many curtain calls and demands for more music that Caravan were delayed getting to the stage.. Just sheer magic - and Annie's voice has passed into legend now... :)
Annie is certainly a legend, but very much a living legend. I only mention that because it is possible the phrase "passed into legend" night be interpreted by some to mean she has passed away. Thankfully, she is still very much with us as are Jon Camp and Terry Sullivan. There is a long interview with her from just a few weeks ago on Doug Helvering's "The Daily Doug" channel....also Jon Camp fans might be interested to learn of his recent work with guitarist Maurice Douglas. The duo is known collectively as "Mojo."
This was the first Renaissance song i heard and absolutely fell in love with it! Such a beautiful song and band. Annie made this band even more beautiful 😁 soo underrated
The sound is from their live album "Carnegie Hall". The studio version is without an orchestra! Nice to see the band perform with the beautiful Annie Haslam 😀
Wow, what a great post. No electronic wizardry, no digital manipulation, no autotune. Just a group of extremely talented musicians accompanied by an angel.
Holy Camoli that is a proper start to a seriously gorgeous song. That band did not need to stand aside for anyone. For me this is on par with my favs like Yes and Genesis, just not as well know. And that Era of musicians is aging into the sunset, feel fortunate to have these images/recordings.
I saw these guys around 1975, maybe 76, in Toronto. I have all their albums, including the old ones before Annie. What a great bunch of musicians. They may not be household names like the Beatles or the Stones, but my God were they talented. I still dig out the albums once in a while. Incredible stuff. Running Hard is still one of my favourites.
My wife andI we’re in White city , London. Looking for the stadium RENAISSANCE WAS PREFORMING AT. ALL WE HAD TO DO LIKE A DELIGHTFUL SCENT WAS TO FOLLOWING THIS LEAD-IN TO FIND OUR WAY. MAGNIFICENT,,🕊😍✌
Minha referência musical! Iniciei no piano ainda criança e ao ouvir a introdução dessa melodia me aprofundei mais ainda na minha paixão 🎹🎼❤️Só gratidão 🎶
Gracias Apostolos Annis por recuperarme estos recuerdos que tenia perdidos. Renaissance fue junto con el grupo Sky dos de los grupos de rock progresivo que más escuche entre fines de los 70 y principios de los 80, cuando descubrí que había más música que la que ponían en las radios.
I used to listen to Alison Steele every night. I remember when the station first started out and had very few sponsors, and was taking donations. Weather channel was one of the first. She introduced me to Genesis, King Crimson… Renaissance… Mountain…Yes…I love that Dennis Elsas and a few others are still active on Sirius/XM. Been a prog fan ever since.
Thanks for sharing this precious performance! "Can You Understand?" is aa powerful song from a band with incredible talents! Renaissance deserved much more recognition, even if late!
@@richardhill802 Capitol Theater, Passaic, NJ John Schere was the promoter. I saw Renaissance, Queen, Argent, Mountain, ZZ Top and Mahogany Rush there. Not bad for a two bit run down theater 111
Such musicianship in he quintessential support of Annie's wonderful ,soaring unblemished vocal. Never to see such bands again? How tragic would that be? You never know what you've lost until it's gone.

Anyone listening in 2024? Love Annie !
I remember feeling that if she had said “Come” I would have followed her to the ends of the earth and beyond
50 years... and she's a contemporary of "Yes" and Elton John's best Album, "Yellow Brick Road". For some reason this group reminds me of "Kansas".
Just come to this because I was whistling 'Northern Lights' so looked it up. Anne has an amazing voice that I'm only just appreciating.
@@Easy-EightI can hear the Kansas sound in this song too.
Yep, absolutely.
Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the wee donkey they could noodle endlessly for England, though! 😂
Pity the logo stay in view constantly. Completely spoils the moment.
My beautiful wife of 44 years and I saw this band as our first date. They just don't do music like this anymore.
so very true! What a great first date!

It was a lot of fun and afterwards Annie invited us all back to her place and she made us all supper. Good times

Lucky man !
I saw them at Lenox Massachusetts in that tour. I still sit in the dark headphones on for this song when everyone is asleep
mind blowing---how exciting and fortunate for you all-----what did she make//serve?---i'dve paid thousands to eat beans out of a tin plate with her
I'm 66 years old and am a HUGE prog fan. This band is one of the reasons why.
Renaissance is great and prog covers a wide territory, but I know of nothing else even slightly resembling Renaissance, do you?
@@Scottlp2 I really don't. Yes, Genesis, etc. had more of a rock component to their music. Renaissance were strictly classical.
@@wadehampton5116 thanks anyway.
I'm 6 years old and not a HUGE prog fan. This band is one of the reasons why.
I am a huge prog fan too!
Wonderful. Annie Haslam_ a beautiful lady with a fabulous voice
Annie Haslam. Voice of an Angel. Still have crush on her nearly 50 years later.
Me too!
You have competition sir.
@Terry Brown
She has a boyfriend and now lives in Philadelphia. I’m younger so I could still be her toy boy at 66!
Same here !
She can make love to you with just her voice alone. It's that powerful. Am I kidding? NO.

Yes, it's exasperating and stupid!
Annie's voice is just phenomenal, she is an opera trained vocalist. Such an amazing voice.
The most underrated band in the music history.
I wrote something similar above, before I even read your own comment.
Real shit
Not underated by anyone that heard them.
Just not heard by enough people.
Needed much better promotion and press attention at a global level.
Absolutely !!!
It was my secret favorite band, so special, unique and as you said soooo underrated !!!

Dream away the last of pain
In waterfalls of sounds
Float across the icy pools
Leaves with curl and sway
Now your mind is floating cool
And you can find the way
Can you understand you can really understand
When the darkness comes you still shine
Open up your eyes and make the day shine sunshine now
Open up your dreams and and make the way shine sunshine now
Can you understand you understand
Can you understand you understand
Open up your life and make your lifetime sunshine now
Open up your soul and make your lifeline sunshine now
Can you understand you understand

Dancing without moving now
Growing with your soul
One with all around you now

Smiling into everywhere

Nah! She doesn't need Jon Anderson as a male superlative to be qualified against. Annie Haslam is Annie Haslam.
I was thinking it sounded like a female Jon Anderson as well! Similar but obviously more feminine. You have a good ear.
I was trying to think who she sounded like...then I read your comment. YES!😄

Isso mesmo Charles Bronson, o mundo ainda tem salvação. Rejeitemos a mídia imunda que todos os dias enfia na cabeça dos jovens de hoje, os subgêneros musicais
Tão bom revisitar os arquivos da memória.
Enquanto houver pessoas como nós a boa música nunca irá morrer.
Saludos de Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱👍
Aonde eu assino?
Fantastic. Just phenomenal. Keyboards are so crisp and melodic. Bass, vocals. All of it!
I have never heard any of their material until now. After this performance, I've got a lot of catching up to do. Simply masterful!
The same essentially goes for me. This band skirted around the very edges of my music radar from the early 1990s to the late 2000s, but I didn't actually encounter any of its music until RUclips algorithmed this onto me last week. I added this video and the original studio track ( ruclips.net/video/wwrjZZ0gQgw/видео.html ) to my playlist of favorite individual music tracks.
Best place to start is thier Live At Carnegie Hall album
You do indeed have a lot of catching up to do. Enchanted with Annie and the band almost 50 years ago, saw them live in Seattle. Turn of the Cards is an album for all time.
@@jeffreymarshall6518 Songs of Scheherazade is also a great classic.
@@kwpres an amazing adaptation of a classic story
I fell in love with them in High School. I saw them live in 1984.
Phenomenal. I never get tired of their music ♡
Annie had such a different set of moves on stage that are signature to her performance . I especially like how she often had her hands on her hips as she would dance around the stage when it was not time for her to sing. Love that move.
This band is beyond compare, no one else comes close to the m.
Only Currved Air or Illusion come close to Renaissance.
Épico !! ! !! Que época grandiosa. Que bom ter um registro como este.
Raro não é o vídeo. Raro é ver pessoas que entendam e valorizem essa classe de música.
Totalmente de acordo!
Caralho. Fiquei surpreso com.esse vídeo. Baita qualidade. Banda tá super afiada
Bull bullon
. Red bullon
I dientes write this commentary It make No Sense, perhap's some U- tuber using my Name did¡
@@alandenadary314 Pena que não é o som que estão a tocar! É a versão original de estúdio, com tentativa de sincronização com o video!
Beautiful …and I love the distinctive 70’s feel ….and look .. Sound , clothes , music , voice …..Takes me back to a better world
Words cannot describe the greatness of this band and their music. Miss Haslam's voice is the icing on this great 7 course meal of awesome tonal experience.
Annie HASLAM's voice is pure and so beautiful! The members' instrumental sounds and vocals are the best harmony for each other!
So glad I discovered this group and Annie's voice. Unfortunately 25 years too late.😔
Hey, at least you got to hear it.
Wow! This takes me right back to the '70s. What a great voice Annie had and the band were just superb. The syncing is excellent. Thanks for the memories!!!
Simply one of the best prog bands ever and one of their masterpieces.
Watching this band perform live (or in the studio) is a real treat for me. The musicians in this band, especially the bass player, were top notch. And Annie's vocals, WOW, just wow!
Era só a minha mãe sair de casa que o meu irmão mais velho tocava essa musica com volume alto em casa quando eu era criancinha kkkkk Cresci com essa musica épica e vejo a qualidade dessa musica ainda é insuperável até hoje! Sensacional!!!!
Minha cara, você sabe dizer se eles possuem alguma influência da cultural celta?
@@gabrielnunes3497 não achei um registro que comprove a ligação ou influência de cultura celta! Mas eu acredito que tenha sim. Garimpando sobre eles, bora?
And the same with me and my grandma... But in Russia.
Great Music.
@@soul_healer_myself há sim uma influência medieval na melodia.
Jon Camp: the most underrated bass player in rock history!
There’s a live album where he does a solo in the middle of one of their track. When I heard it in my teens way back then I was astounded by it
Define 'underrated' because I don't know in what context you mean?
He was a monster bass player.
Who underrated him and what does that mean. Is there a rating group for musicians?
Listen to that snorting Ricky! He's killing it on this track! I'm lucky enough to have seen him live. Awesome player.
I saw Renaissance at Penn State in the mid 1980's. They were and still are master musicians and Annie is a tremendous vocalist! There are very few who even come close to her singing abilities.
Anni Haslam ist eine Legende.wenn Ich ihre Stimme höre bin ich demütig .... bei allem, was ich nicht kann. Aber ich kann sehr gut zuhören.
I have the Live at Carnegie Hall double album and Camera Camera on vinyl. I bring them out occasionally to hear music as it was in the 70s, beautiful and complex and musical. Not rap, not hip-hop.. I also saw Renaissance in a live concert from the Camera Camera tour. One of the best shows I've ever seen! Annie, you have the voice of an angel.
It's very sad to know that 2 of the band members are no longer with us. RIP Michael and John.
We also lost their lyricist Betty Thatcher.
I still think that the best concert of my life was in 1975 when Renaissance opened for Caravan at the Glasgow Apollo ( now log gone) just as "Turn of the Cards" was released... Annie was on sparkling form and the band got so many curtain calls and demands for more music that Caravan were delayed getting to the stage..
Just sheer magic - and Annie's voice has passed into legend now...
:)
I still have my original vinyl of turn of the cards, I think I bought it at or about 1976.
I saw the same tour in Manchester, we still talk about it and, though I love Caravan, Renaissance blew them off the stage that night.
Annie is certainly a legend, but very much a living legend. I only mention that because it is possible the phrase "passed into legend" night be interpreted by some to mean she has passed away. Thankfully, she is still very much with us as are Jon Camp and Terry Sullivan. There is a long interview with her from just a few weeks ago on Doug Helvering's "The Daily Doug" channel....also Jon Camp fans might be interested to learn of his recent work with guitarist Maurice Douglas. The duo is known collectively as "Mojo."
@@therealniksongs The Daily Doug is brilliant. Saw the interview too
This was the first Renaissance song i heard and absolutely fell in love with it! Such a beautiful song and band. Annie made this band even more beautiful 😁 soo underrated
One of the top 5 bands of all time. Annie is just magical. They are truely timeless.
The sound is from their live album "Carnegie Hall". The studio version is without an orchestra! Nice to see the band perform with the beautiful Annie Haslam 😀
Cheers for that - I wondered why the visual and sound wasn't always in sync
Esatto!
LOVE This Song! So talented, so beautiful.
One thing you must admit about Renaissance is it has a very clean sound you can hear all of the instruments
Who is playing the orchestral part?
Wow, what a great post. No electronic wizardry, no digital manipulation, no autotune. Just a group of extremely talented musicians accompanied by an angel.
ciao da giugno 2024. Renaissance li ascoltavo da giovane quando il progressive rock era la nostra musica. Semplicemente unica. Brilliant
I was honored to see them live in Milwaukee back in 1977. My senior year of High School.. I was ahead of my time already back then.. lol
Holy %)^)!^#. Where has this been hiding? Love it.
Holy Camoli that is a proper start to a seriously gorgeous song. That band did not need to stand aside for anyone. For me this is on par with my favs like Yes and Genesis, just not as well know. And that Era of musicians is aging into the sunset, feel fortunate to have these images/recordings.
Not to be forgotten never
Outstanding Music, Great Performance!! I miss all them!!!
Ooh....what we're missing now, this was wonderful and 'still is '47 years later, I'm so glad I was around for the best ever time for music.
I love this jewel, I listened to this group in the seventies.
I saw these guys around 1975, maybe 76, in Toronto. I have all their albums, including the old ones before Annie. What a great bunch of musicians. They may not be household names like the Beatles or the Stones, but my God were they talented. I still dig out the albums once in a while. Incredible stuff. Running Hard is still one of my favourites.
My wife andI we’re in White city , London. Looking for the stadium RENAISSANCE WAS PREFORMING AT. ALL WE HAD TO DO LIKE A DELIGHTFUL SCENT WAS TO FOLLOWING THIS LEAD-IN TO FIND OUR WAY. MAGNIFICENT,,🕊😍✌
Annie you are one of a brilliant voice in the music... Brasil love you and the band... congratulations. 🥰😇😊😉
E estaremos no show em SP em 2022
Saw them in the 70s at a little club in Parsippanny NJ called “A Joint in the Woods”
Minha referência musical! Iniciei no piano ainda criança e ao ouvir a introdução dessa melodia me aprofundei mais ainda na minha paixão 🎹🎼❤️Só gratidão 🎶
Annie has one of the all time voices , in the World of Music.
Renaissance, uma banda por excelência, com uma musicalidade fora do comum acompanhando a Annie Haslam numa viagem de sonho imperdível.
Renaissance were a fantastic band. Annie Haslam still occasionally performs live 🎶🥳👸
Gracias Apostolos Annis por recuperarme estos recuerdos que tenia perdidos. Renaissance fue junto con el grupo Sky dos de los grupos de rock progresivo que más escuche entre fines de los 70 y principios de los 80, cuando descubrí que había más música que la que ponían en las radios.
Takes me back to listening to this on the NightBird radio show on WNEW 102.7 FM in N.Y.C...
Alison Steele ‘The Nightbird’. WNEW 102.7 “Where Rock Lives” (Lived). Miss that station so much!
I used to listen to Alison Steele every night. I remember when the station first started out and had very few sponsors, and was taking donations. Weather channel was one of the first. She introduced me to Genesis, King Crimson… Renaissance… Mountain…Yes…I love that Dennis Elsas and a few others are still active on Sirius/XM. Been a prog fan ever since.
Sensational band.
All the components are magistral strumentalist, but the diamond is the stunning voice of Annie Haslam.
Wow wow
Saw the band in Tampa in 1976. One of the best experiences ever!
What an incredible voice. Love this video ❤
The intro makes me think of a music box and also of some of the music in The Snowman.
One of the all-time great prog riffs. Love this song.
Thanks for sharing this precious performance! "Can You Understand?" is aa powerful song from a band with incredible talents! Renaissance deserved much more recognition, even if late!
I enjoy something that radio stations won't play.
My favorite group, along with ELP and early Genesis. I saw them 3 times in concert in the PA, NJ, and NYC area. Annie's voice is angelic.
Did you see ‘em at Penn State (where I did)?
@@richardhill802 I saw Renaissance at Lehigh, Albright College and Madison Square Garden in NYC.
@@richardhill802 Capitol Theater, Passaic, NJ John Schere was the promoter. I saw Renaissance, Queen, Argent, Mountain, ZZ Top and
Mahogany Rush there. Not bad for a two bit run down theater 111
I saw Renaissance in the 70's in Chicago. The opening act was Al Di Meola. What a night to remember!
Belo vídeo, grande registro histórico da boa música.
Todos que gostam da boa música , estão de parabéns.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The best band ever!!!! This is beautiful music!❤
This is unique stuff. It's like symphonic folk rock or something.
How good is this. Excellent musicianship combined with a wonderful voice.
Such musicianship in he quintessential support of Annie's wonderful ,soaring unblemished vocal. Never to see such bands again? How tragic would that be? You never know what you've lost until it's gone.
This was one of my first progressive favorites back in those high school years. Still enjoy hearing them ! Thanks for posting !
Annie Haslam is wonderful as is Renaissance. I’m so glad my Yes/ Genesis / Pink Floyd friends told me about them in the 70s. We had it really good 😊
I booked Renaissance in 1972. Lovely people, great band.
My sister had their album The Day of The Dreamer. I stole it from her and listened to it 1000 times. It’s still a favorite memory.
Great, great compositional skills, and performance skills. Splendid ensamble.
