Annie Haslam,
born in Bolton (UK) at 1949
vocalist of Renaissance, legendary disbanded British Rock band
still now her pure voice enthralls so many people
This song written by Mike Oldfield.
What a voice .. brilliant …loved northern lights as well , great memories
Stop with the nonsense, Annie and the Renassance were ahead of their times, there music , amazingly mesmerizing, had to be heard in person, I saw the Renaissance in my Alma mater, Hunter College in 1976-77, and Annie blew us all away, Ruthie Henshall is in another league , but, let's wait 35 years and see how her voice can hold up! Give Annie and the Renaissance their immortal spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, already!
I really miss renaissance.. they were ahead of their time.
Annie is an awesome lady with an awesome band Love her
Was there at The Bottom Line. Great concert venue!
Such a lovely lady.
She's singing great.. thanks very much for upload :) great tune
Proof that Mike Oldfield is a great guitarist and Maggie is an amazing singer.
What's "that" supposed to mean exactly??! Talk about your underhanded compliments
I saw Annie 3 times during the '70's and she was fantastic. Every negative comment regarding this performance is unfortunately justified. :(
Is your name really Jethro Tull? I saw Annie in concert with this band. She and they were GREAT.
No….Jethro Tull isn’t my real name. Simply the name I chose in 1999 when I went online. Have been using it ever since. Why bother to change a unique name??
@@johnwegrecki3361 Good point!
can't wait to see her live ,,,after all these years,,
Christ I found Annie years ago looking for songs on Limewire.... Love it!!!!
Amazed at how many here are talking shit. This sounds great. What she was doing at the beginning was a look of disapproval to the one guitarist in all Black who was fucking around with his floor rig. I believe she thought it unprofessional. Her voice is just great,as is the tune.
Voice is great. Tune, maybe a great one (not for me, but hey that's we all have different tastes). She's not necessarily in tune all the time though. That said, she is not unbearably off tune either and that is rarely the case anyway for her. Could be a case of Mike Olfield fans not feeling too charitable to another singer covering the song.
Hard to believe this is nearly 30 years old. Annie still has it - a sublime voice and wicked sense of humor. I love her.
Fantastic. Perfect. With respect. Pena Gil
I think that Annie was having monitor problems at the start by the way sh was looking quizzically off to stage left, which is where I presume the monitoe desk was!
That's exactly what I was thinking - she can't hear herself. It's pretty much impossible to stay in tune in that situation, no matter how good a singer you are!
Saw that look at Tralf November of last year. Same issue.. she couldn't hear herself singing.
el guitarrista( o bajistaq) a su izquierda tira algo antes del intro, quiszas eso la distrajo.
What year is this? Released first 1983?
EN VERDAD ME ENCANTA TU FORMA DE CANTAR ERES LINDA DANDO UN POCO DE PAZ A MI CORAZON :)
Oh, geez. WHY can't I keep my promise to myself, never to read the comments on RUclips. Everyone has an opinion, of course, but some seem to think negativity is the ONLY side of themselves they want to share.
+Bill Melton Stop being so negative Bill. Take no notice of the detractors.
So...every opinion different that yours is negative?
Opinions are like arseholes everyone has one.
Nicely put
@mallard4998 'Going through the motions' is what I felt listening to this and other clips from this concert. Her usual, chirpy energy is strangely absent here. It is well documented in interviews that the going was tough for her at this time. She was in a dilemma whether to go commercial or stick to her strengths at this time. Ofc, Blessing in Disguise would happen and change everything but the late 80s is the pits of Annie's career.
Is she before sally oldfield or after.?
Annie is a superlative singer but she must have had monitoring issues here.
You're right, but I think her version is excellent and very different and she's singing good here..
She didn't record w/Mike. And the band missed the intro terribly. I think it was Anita Hegerland (his wife of a few years) or possibly Miriam Stockley?
Maggie Reilly recorded the single with Mike Oldfield
All three. both are right. Maggie first, then Miriam, then Anita.
Written by Mike Oldfield. Who is the backup band, anyone?
Annie Haslam (the singer from the Prog Rock band Renaissance) and her Solo band. two members from her solo band are now official members of Renaissance.
Would have veen a good song in the movie " Ghost "
Annie could have used a bit of support from the soundmen. The echo?
The guitar soloist needs some more fingers. No help from the studio could save him.
I wouldn't want to be her guitarist afterwards, I think it was him she was giving evils...
Re GnosisMan50 . . . .Just a random thought . . . . .but does Simon Cowell know this career definig stuff ? . . . .
crap recording ,also depends on the sound equipment could be of low quality plus no backing singers make her sound off ,still better than the total crap on these reality tv shows of today.
I agree, not the best use of Annie's incredible voice. Also, the guitar part is lame compared to the original. Too bad; could have been great.
1990
It definitely sounds empty and she’s seems to be singing it fast But she’s got a follow The band so it might be their fault. Who am I to say I shouldn’t be criticizing I can’t play
Being a fan of both Annie and Mike Oldfield, I expected her to improve on Maggie Reilly, but I confess I was disappointed. I agree, the song doesn't fit her voice much, and she appeared to know it.
Fine but I prefer Maggie Reilly's version.
I think the interesting thing about this clip is proof to any aspiring musician that the sum of the parts ( i.e. great musicians ) doesn't naturally mean you get great music all the time. There are probably technical errors with the fold back, but that shouldn't be a problem for a professional/experienced singer. Annie has trouble pitching this song all the way through. Probably the most inexcusable crime is the arrangement. The tempo is probably a bit quick and reinforced by sterile/metronomic drumming with absolutely no feel whatsoever. The result: A truly god awful cover version.
The interesting thing is this line up which is delivering such a pathetic show includes Rave Tesar on keyboard and Mark Lambert (?) on guitar. I don't recognise the bassist, wonder if he too has done other turns for Annie. Drummer is probably Goldberger. In short, an entire line up that's seen far, far better days and can very well put together an inspiring set for the audience. But it's almost like they couldn't be bothered that day.
Keyboard player in this band was Raphael Rudd. I believe he died in a car crash. Was also the piano player in the acoustic Renaissance when they split with Jon Camp. You wouldn't believe how hard he hit the piano on those gigs. He absolutely pulverized it!
A wear version compared to Maggie or Miriam!
Talking of bad bands, the worst one is the 'band' who backed Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights - check that out.
p.s. the voice is very good, considering.
:45 Ann is pissed at something. That look could melt an iceberg in a second.
This is a tough song for her to cover. It is almost like she is holding back and Maggie really made this her song.
she needs Fleetwood Mac behind her, not Plastic Mac...
I love Annie bt this has no soul.Pepsi/Mike Olfield on VH-1 is so much better.
Bit out of tune for the most of it guitar is shit and as someone earlier said Annie looks at the rest of the band as if to say hey what you playing shame
shitte
Bloody awful but she knows it. There's something going on at the beginning. Perhaps she couldn't here herself?
Lovely song but what a shame that Annie is hopelessly out of key!!
She would have killed for AutoTune if it existed back then...
Personaly i feel moonlight shadow sucks period,Mike was a whole lot more talented than that techno, bubble gum shit song,so what are we comparing this too. it sucks no matter who does it !!!!!!
Ooooh, aren't you precious?!
Never heard this til now. Great song. Despite the negative comments, she carried the song anyway.
From 0:45 to 1:00 Annie looking with anger to the left as if saying "...What are you F&%$ doing..."
Guitarist crouches down just before this, I'm guessing he had a problem with one of his pedals
Minor audio problem, quickly sorted.
Check out Annie with Steve Howe of Yes and the track Turn of the Century.
That voice! In my mind this is what angels sound like!
This song is from the album "Crises" by Mike Oldfield. I don't think Annie did very many covers
Annie also has the best voice production in terms of how well her registers are connected and how consistent her voice sounds at the lower and higher end of her range. Incredible diction too. Again, nothing that makes the voice by itself best for ALL music.
This is missing one vital ingredient. Mike Oldfield himself.
+Leigh Brown And Maggie Reilly.
Dead right, Maggie Reilly's voice is the best
Love the side eye at the start. I assume the band screwed up. I think the guitar player heard all about it at 3:40.
I remember Annie Haslam - In The Bleak Midwinter.
She's brilliant.
love this song sung by annie!
She’s great but she should have sacked the guitarist: that lead riff was lame.
The lead singer is amazing...incredible voice
SHould have heard her 20 years ago. incomparable. See "Mother Russia" and her other hits.
Absolutely!! I saw her with Renaissance in 1974 & 1978. Incredible lady!!
Wao ! I had never imagined Annie with Oldfield !!
Annie has a wonderful voice - but it definitely doesn't fit to this song, sorry.
Respect to her...but Maggie's voice is unique!
I don't care whether this was the best performance of 20th century or not. Stumbled upon this video, and it is an unexpected treat. I love the original song and ways loved Annie/Renaissance. What do I need more than this?? Thanks for sharing!
*bump* It may be pertinent to mention here that she was already deaf in one ear by this point. I don't know about this concert, but at this point she was supposed to have also experienced severe pain in the ears. It might explain why not only here but in general, in concerts from the 90s or later, her intonation lacks the precision she possessed in the 70s. Must be a nightmare to sing live, especially very 'clean', melodic material, when you can't hear yourself or the other musicians well.
Love this lady with all my heart.
Wonderful talented singer and artist and good person.
Best wishes Annie!
Renaissance fans will appreciate Annie's vocal style that made them beloved in the 70's and 80's, but pop tunes do not showcase her voice properly.. She has a super voice, classically trained.
To be fair to her, who'd know where to come in after the ridiculous intro. It just doesn't fit.
I was there
Just goes to show that even the very, very best can be thrown off course when let down by other band members.....If Annie had been forewarned that she would be singing the start virtually a cappella, at least she would have been ready for it....The performance picked up once the band got into their stride but, by then the damage was done. She is still my number one though.....
BIG Request for Help: Annie did a cover for the Simon and Garfunkel song, America. I don't think it was on an album, more than likely in a concert. Help!! Where can I find this? Simon and Garfunkel would have loved it. Thanks in advance.
She needs another crack at it with some proper backing and a far better electric guitar solo... Wonder if she ever did a Studio version .
Oh dear, that is awful! She needs to sniff back some phlegm and the wedding band are shite.
If looks could kill (at the beginning)!!
❤Very good singer !!!
Surely this is not the same Annie Haslam. Thought that this was a poor 'ripoff' of the original. She was flat and the band sounded crap. Ruined one of may favourite songs.
It was live
This is one of those songs that you just can't not like.
No computer generated voices just pure talent
Príde mi to akoby tým svojim spevom nebola absolútne vžitá do tejto tak prekrásnej piesne. Počula som mnohé ju odspievať, táto medzi tie lepšie, no a najlepšie už vôbec nepatrí.
Yeah...lol, I had seen this comment at that time and wanted to write a similar reaction but let it go. No disrespect to Maggie, but would like to see her touch Rockalise with a bargepole and then some. ;)
Mike would be proud
Annie Hasslam even in this modest appearance is definitely "miles" better than Magie Reilly. Have you ever heard Magie performing this song live? Pffffffffffff, ANNIE4EVER!!!!!!
+Apostolos Kolovos Annie was in Renaissance.. so for me, enough said.
she is murdering this song.out of key big time.
5 Octave voice, gorgeous too.
I love this song, and I love Renaissance. But this isn't the best example of either.
Yes
Hogy a gránátba' bírt ilyen hamisan énekelni végig? Ez szánalmas! Az X factor selejtezőjéből jobbakat hajtanak el!
She can't hear herself as the monitor is not working. Nobody can sing properly in that situation.
Wow! A mashup of two of my favorite artists!
Annie is PITCH PERFECT but she sang some bum notes as her monitors werent right the MUPPET on sound desk was a MUPPET!!!
Maggie is Maggie
It is hard to listen without comparing to Maggie Reilly. Rather not comment...
Thank you. You are a kind sort.
They both made their songs their own. Love em both
Oh no....
not the best band
Great job by Annie. Miriam Stockley also does a great cover too.
Nomber 1 Maggie!!!!!!!
I'm fanatic fun of Annie Haslam Renaissance .
You t
Right, there are at least three different kinds of female voices as per fach without getting into lighter/heavier voice types. I think what people mean is she is technically the most accomplished singer....at least in rock/pop. I don't know of very many I have heard that I would rate higher. Unfortunately, people tend to club everything related to singing in the word 'voice' but there's no such thing as 'best voice'.
Nope
I saw that show at The Bottom Line and hoping that someone would know if there was a full concert somewhere on u-tube. I would appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction. It was an amazing concert!
@ProfessorZaroff No but she has a voice similar to Maddy Prior's, who sings on some tunes by Oldfield (mainly on 'Incantations').
Lindíssimo 😍
Shouldnt have touched this with a bargepole .........afraid Maggie Reillys voice is just in a different league !
