Renaissance one of the most talented bands ever. Criminally underrated in comparison to Yes and Genesis but no less magical. That classic lineup never recorded a bad album. Annie is phenomenal but others are great also. Jon Camp a bassist of Chris Squire caliber. It's so sad that we'll never see that lineup again cause John Tout and Michael Dunford passed away. What a loss...
True!
I also think the original lineup deserves more recognition... Both of their only albums (Renaissance and Illusion) are fantastic imo.
I think that Jane Relf is somehow underused on the debut album and that's a pity cause she has a really nice vocals. But apart from song Wanderer and partly Island she did backing harmonies. Male voice by her brother Keith dominates. I never owned their second album Illusion but heard several songs from it. Face of yesterday on RUclips with Binky Cullom for instance. Also strong vocals but lower timbre than Jane or Annie.
@@МаксРогозин-е1ю It truly feels like Jane's vocal ability was underused in most of the songs in their first two albums especially when listening to all the albums that came after with Annie.
With that said.. on the arrangement spectrum, in the first two albums I think Jane's voice was perfectly adapted into the songs. And I also like Keith's singing in these albums.
Btw I really recommend you the song "Golden Thread" from Illusion. In my opinion it's a masterpiece.
Jon Camp & Chris Squire are two Rickenbacker heroes. Lemmy doesn't count
That guy Jon Camp also provided some good backing vocals like Chris Squire did in Yes supporting Jon Anderson. Take for instance Ocean Gypsy from Scheherazade album. Or Ashes Are Burning title track. When he and Annie sing choruses it sounds so gorgeous.
Only her voice and a mic. No effects, no autotune. A singer.
Yeah it’s called talent, today so called singers have a computer to thank for their voices being heard in tune. Most of them can’t hold a note or sing in tune live and prerecord their vocals for live performances and people are paying fortunes for the privilege of watching these talentless performances. 🙄
i would go further and call her a MUSICIAN not a singer.
oh a singer! I thought she was a seagull or a teapot!
Any American kid who came of age in the early to mid '70s would have dreamed of walking down the street holding hands with a girl who looked like Annie Haslam. Her look epitomized what "casual glamor" was in that era. That she was such a gifted singer is a double-dose of superlatives.
Jane Relf of the original incarnation was a beauty as well! Not as capable in singing as Annie, though...
Boy I don't know how I missed this fantastic group back in the 70s! I sure am enjoying them now! All topnotch musicians. Annie Haslam is breath taking, spell binding and has a superb voice!
I first saw the original band at their peak, summer 1977 at an outdoor venue with great close seats. 17 years old. I was so entranced and hypnotized by the music my date thought I was ignoring her, lol.
@@kbrewski1great comment...its very easy to get caught up in Annie...she is immensely talented and has a beautiful aura about her!
Love the talent of the bass player
During my college years in the early 70s I was in love with Annie❤️ and loved their music too.
What a great voice! I fell in love with Renaissance the first time I heard them. That was a long time ago.
Me too
To be honest: I cannot bear Haslam's voice too often. It fits to the music, but ...
I fell in love with their music too...many years ago...but it was many years after their peak (to me) in the 70s. I was i ntroduced to them around 1997. Amazing music though!!!
@@michael-101it must suck to be you...its hard to ignore her voice as its in alot of their music 😅
@@michael-101i could understand that when she just doodles around with oos and aahs and no words. I dont like that. And im not gonna say oh, you suck because you cant bear her voice too much. Theres reasons. Maybe your ears dont like it. At least youve listened and gave it a chance.
Tout was an extraordinary pianist , stunning footage, Annie peerless as a vocalist
completely underrated, yet flawless technique, tasteful arrangements and fine sounds. R.I.P.
Tout: 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎹🎼🎶🎶🎶
Beautiful woman Beautiful voice!
This was one of my favorite ever progressive rock bands, and I began following them in the late '70s, towards the end of their heyday. I actually was part of the audience for the Carnegie Hall live double album concert. Annie has a voice like no other, and I loved John Tout's piano virtuosity. As much as I love this live material, I wish I could hear it in its entirety- this is like a teaser, not getting to hear the whole thing, but I'll take it, since there's so little out there. Long live the memories of Mickey Dunford and John Tout, RIP
Saw them 3 times in the mid 70s early 80 to mid 80s They were Spectacular live. Right up there with any of the prog bands other than Yes or ELP of course. But VERY DAMN CLOSE SHORT ONLY BY A HAIR (production of course), female singers of this caliber were mostly UFORTUNATELY UN HEARD OF.
The live album just might be the best live album by any band ever. Astonishing. To be there must have been magical.
Jon Camp was one of my bass idols then, along with Jack Bruce and John Entwhistle and Chris Squire.
All three are gone now. They live only in my memory now.
@@jamesmacaulay4064 I agree these were phenomenal bassists. I believe Jon Camp is still with us.
First time in 45 years i listen to this record again. I have it on cassette...!!!! We were happyyyyyy and Freeeeeee
Couldn't agree more.
I was a promising chess youth, playing for Swedish junior championship when I discovered Renaissance! In chess it was important to read theoretical opening books and other stuffs.. Annies voice helped find peace work with these things! I never come to the highest level in Chess though. But I Have never left Renaissance out of my life! Fantastic majestic complex Wonderful music - just as a masterpiece of a champion Chess Game! 😉👍
This one really highlights what a great drummer Terence Sullivan was. The others tend to overshadow him because he's not flashy, but it takes his playing for the magic to happen.
that's drummin' for ya'...
Thanks for posting. I first saw them in 1973 at Grendel's Lair, a club in Philadelphia with a capacity of 250. Needless to say that was a once in a lifetime magical event.
1978 I was working at restaurant and hotel establishment and I met the band. They were great people and a pleasure to talk to. I had a conversation with the drummer for like 20 minutes. I'm a drummer to we alot in common. It was a pleasure to meet them. I wonder whats going on them now!
Annie Haslem is still touring with a reconfigured Renaissance!
My besties loved this band. I was young! We play it, often, still. I’m 61! It’s a great sound. How music evolves!
I heard Black Flame on the radio. I WAS HOOKED. And I was so very lucky to see them perform live in that era.
AND I had a neighbor (later a good fried) who could play the bass lines perfectly. Damn did I envy him his stereo until I found out it was him playing the bass parts.
Beautiful voice great band going to see them October ,25 in NJ her voice makes me cry in a world with so much evil so much beauty
There is no group like Renaissance. Tragically underrated. They created wonderful music. Annie's voice is a standout.
Annie Haslan one powerful voice and a delight to listen to. 🎶 I hope she knows that she made our World more beautiful. Annie thanks.
Thin, irritating voice and often not pleasure to listen to. Very overrated vocalist in the prog circles. Renaissance had some great songs but I just find it obscure that vocalist that performs weak to mediocre way, many blaze as really special. :/ Same goes with many male prog vocalists as well... "if you are a vocalist of a great band then you are a magnificent vocalist"?! :/ No, no and once more no.
Renaissance were an amazingly talented band. Their music is so subtle and complex. Really really impressive.
An extraordinary band to see live and blessed to have witnessed them tackle their craft. They were advanced musicians at such an young age; we received a true gift and their music is truly timeless!!
Love you Annie and Renaissance! I met Annie at an event in Yardley, PA in 1991 or 1992... what a thrill to meet the lead singer of my favorite band!
Never seen this before. What a gem.

Nobody has a better voice or more range than Annie she is amazing and Everytime I hear her voice my heart skips a beat
Banda fantástica e diferenciada.....essa vocalista é de outro planeta!!!!!!!!
Verdade
Just wow! What an amazing performance of these classics! Annie sings like an angel!
Angels hear Annie and bow their heads in shame!
Thats because she IS an angel
Saw them in a club and spent the show about 20 feet from Annie. On a number of occasions the hair on my neck stood straight up. No exaggeration. What a voice!!!
Oh gosh can you understand I MISS your beautiful voice
I was always fascinated and impressed by the fact that Michael Dunford only used acoustic - never apparently tempted to go electric in the way that most other guitarists would have done.
Michael played both but for a period from 1974-1978 he only played acoustic. He played electric on early tours and also after Jon Tout and Terrence left. Check out the 1982 Chicago"s Park West performance. It's on YT.
Mr Oldfield even reverted to acoustics 60% of the time.
Rob Hendry did play electric on the Prologue studio album (‘72), and sadly was never heard from again.
There are videos here on RUclips where he uses both on the same song by having an acoustic on a stand.
He played electric during the transitional band with Binky Cullom, but switched to acoustic afterwards
I stumbled into this band in Asbury Park New Jersey in 1977. Was a hard core metal lover but loved the band ever since that concert
I was introduced to their music in the early 70s. I've been hooked ever since and still listen to them to this day. 50 years of Annie Haslam's magical voice and their incredible compositions.
Thankful to have this, but wish that the instrumentals weren't edited out, especially the intro and outro on 'Can You Understand'. Can you say rhythm section. First learned of Renaissance listening to the WNEW broadcast of Live at Carnegie Hall in the spring of 1976. Have been a fan since and was fortunate enough to catch them live a couple of times. Over the years, I've had a difficult time convincing some of my friends of their greatness, but I guess like most orchestral rock of the time, you either got them or you didn't. I most definitely did.
A great band. Never heard anything lije them before or since. Unique. Annie is a fantastic vocalist.
Ouço esta banda desde 1972, com Prologue! Tenho 5 dos 7 discos da banda com esta formação clássica!
Seu som me transportava no tempo e no espaço , de Belo Horizonte, Brasil, pras paisagens européias , suas vilas, igrejas e castelos , feiras, campos e montanhas! Ate hoje a sensação é mesma!😊❤😊❤
Olá Márcio! Também fui arrebatado por esse som em meados da década de 70, e escuto até hoje. Tenho três discos, gravados entre 72 a 74. Conheci a banda pelo álbum Ashes are Burning. Sou de Juiz de Fora - MG, e também "viajei" aos tempos medievais... Ainda escuto muito rock progressivo, que foi a trilha da minha adolescência!
Live at Carnegie Hall still a favorite of mine. Discovered Renaissance in 1975 when I was on our college radio station, and was immediately hooked on the long format songs and Annie’s wonderful voice. Never had the opportunity to see them live, I can only imagine how good it would have been.
Wow just beautiful what a voice
She is absolutely nice...beauty and voice !!!
Brilliant just as I remembered them and Annie with her angelic voice!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️🎤🎼🎹🎸
Devine! Such beautiful song writing, and incredible musicianship. Thanks for posting this gem.👏🏻👏🏻👍
Now these were real musicians !
Heavenly good music. I'm new to this band and I consider myself very lucky to get to know it
Renaissance fan from 1975... my #2 band since after YES .... so glad to have run(ning) hard to see them!
Have always said maybe the most underrated band of all time; followed by Strawbs. Lyrically, musically---all were talented, followed by Annie's 5+ octave, clean voice range. LONG time fan since the earliest days.
5+ oitavas range voice, wow! I had no idea - always impressed by its power, it reminded me of opera singers, I could perceive (still do) the impulse from diafragma to throat (not sure I explain in right way, sorry my English, not my 1st language).
Fantastic. Their "Novella" is one of my favourite albums of all time.
Good call. That's my favorite by the band, though I love most of their albums.
That record is very advanced in terms of technology, harmonies, layering, imagination, taste. vocals, instrumentation.cover art, and quality of writing. People who had much higher standards were involved with creating albums at this time. Novella is a very unusual album. Why do people enjoy promoting junk as opposed to records like this?
The Sisters! Captive Heart!🗿
That album was my introduction to Renaissance. I found the vinyl in a used record store when I was in college back in the late 80s. Bought it without ever hearing any of the band's music before on a whim. After that I picked up every album they recorded from 69 to 78. I'm searching out the 2 Illusion albums now recorded by Jane Relf now.
@@marisaelenenadiejamusiccom3974 SHALLOW is all I can say
Annie Haslam is just amazing...
John Tout is amazing
@@kohntarkosz8983 Yeah these two were the lead unique, a female opera singer and classical pianist have you ever heard that in 70s prog rock band, I don't think so!
Yes.
Growing up with yes and genesis, I always loved Renaissance and Curved Air just as much.
I still have a crush on Annie ;)
Anne is the greatest female singer of all time, my favorite of all time, forever. Sounds amazing and looks beautiful. I really pity everyone who can't watch & listen to this. No clue what they are missing. Thanx for posting this.
Annie's voice is another instrument in the band.....what a fabulous sound!
What an amazing band, many happy memories listening to them in the 70's I knew they were so talented. Must have played their double album "Live at Carnegie Hall" a gazillion times on my turntable such a classic masterpiece. Love you Annie...!! xx
What a delightful treat to brighten the dark days of 2021
The best voice of all time. Great Renaissance.
Wow - real talent!!!
Schöne Erinnerungen an eine tolle Zeit. Great Music for all times.
Renaissance music is just beautiful. And Jon Camp has the coolest 'stage presence' along with great Rickenbacker 4001 bass tone coupled with beautiful, melodic basslines.
And this boys and girls, is how to make music. Are you paying attention children of today!
Beautiful filming of a great performance! I never became an Annie Haslam and Renaissance fan until the 90s so it is a real treat to see this earlier performance.
Fantastic!!! Never seen this before!!!!
Just have a look at the Fleesh version of Ashes are burning....
@@dl7692 Sorry, what´s the Fleesh?
Annie has the voice of an angel - and the looks to match.
The full footage needs to be released.
Definitely.The fact that this comprises the best video we have of them in terms of visuals and acoustics only makes it more tantalising!
Agreed; anyone know where & when & by whom it was recorded?

@@paulbennett772 ruclips.net/video/fKJx4V_7hj8/видео.html
@@paulbennett772 It's from Swiss TV, Suisse Romande, part of Switzerland where they speak french.
John Camp é um baixista do nivel de Chris Squire: melódico, insinuante, as vezes dominante e que alterna a condução do ritmo com linhas próximas a um solo e não apenas à marcação!
Thank you for loading.... One of my favorite band and 70', golden age of prog rock....
Jon Camp was incredible... and he's just disappeared.
Not an autotune in sight!
Magnificent.
Annie I love your voice and performances around the world !
Maravilhoso. Emocionante e fantástico
Cara, como fiquei 50 anos de minha vida sem conhecer isto?
Sim 🙌
Always loved this band, unfortunately never got to see them live. I can hear ELP in here, among many other influences, but the only voices that come anywhere close to Annie are Maddy Prior and Sally Oldfield imo. Phenomenal keys and drums as well as vocals. Also, the engineering is first rate, you can hear every little detail. Thanks for uploading.
I totally agree with you . But dont forget sandy dennie
Excellent call on those three voices.
Haven't heard any of these song's before this is great
Start with Turn Of The Cards Then Scheherazade. It an old rabbit hole but deep and great, Nothing like the old days so many Great Bands. For something Newer, but just as great Nightwish Live at Wacken Ghost Love Score Thats a Very deep rabbit hole Also a Female Singer
Ich sehe das genau so wie ihr! Eine wunderbare Stimme, sehr gute Musiker - das Konzert at Carnegie Hall ist doch nicht zu toppen!
Annie Haslam has an amazing voice. Renaissance just wouldn't be a band without her powerful vocals. Did you know that she is a classically trained soprano vocalist with a five octave vocal range?
great medley...prologue its my fav
both with ashes are burning droves me to another reality. she was my queen in a medieval tale.
lovely voice...best front lady
Just discovered this band fantastic!!
Great great great band. Annie is one of my fav singers of all times
I love dark music...it is so dramatic...I feel sorry that the musicians of today are taking less risks...I really love psychedelia...experimental and avant garde and I love this kind of music too...it is ethereal....it has energy, vibe...fun..It has no real genre connection in my mind. It is just unique, creative and coming from a real place in an artistic soul. I know that it is progressive music but it just sounds like quality music, if that were a genre.
It was called progressive rock, Marisa, a genre of rock which was must on top on the 1970's. (In the case of Renaissance band, a little mixed with pop rock from that period).
Progressive rock is a fantastic genre of music, often associated with classical and jazz, but became unjustly criticized for being too complex and played by overqualified musicians, what actually should be looked as qualities, not as faults.
@@glauciodon.campelo8967 Also folk rock. Renaissance is very folk oriented
@@23igna Its actually Symphonic Rock and is mainly rooted in the Original Classical genre
@@glauciodon.campelo8967 Thank you for letting me know..I had no idea ahem cough LOL..Progressive music....wow....never heard of it before....LOL
@@78yestor93 Nice to hear that SR Have you Heard of Nightwish You have my attention.............
Annie, the Queen of the Prog Rock! Rip Michael and John Tout!
Spot on with your comment. Love Renaissance ❤️
I love them. They were magnificent
Renaissance, masterpiece of progresive rock
Saw these guys in Seattle 1978 . Best concert ever
Truly amazing music.
Que fêmea! Linda demais. Me apaixonei. Som fantástico.
What a voice!
Annie Haslam simply the best! ♥️
THE Prog Rock Godess....
Fabulosa Banda....Caracas, Venezuela.
Massa! Não ouvia isto desde 75 quando emprestei meu álbum. Thanks for posting it.
Music great and how good looking is Annie .
Pretty girl with a beautiful voice; what more can you ask for?
Hermosa música. Para disfrutar!!!!
Absolutely wonderful! Thanks.
All so young and committed. PF, Yes, Genesis, KC, LZ and the rest. How, Why did could that small island birth so much music. Not to mention Fairport, Pentangle, Steeleye, Tull, even Black Sabbath. A time machine to that land late 60’s / 70’s to watch Cream and Jimi and this follows the British Invasion of Beatles and Stones and the rest. You can add your favs. Renaissance, Camel, Canterbury...
Beautiful band
Bravi, Viva il Prog!
Annie Haslett You Still Rock
Holy Shit, what did you upload? Amazing!!! Thnxxxx!!!!!
I am from İstanbul/Türkiye. I love them. I think they are a super prog rock group but some people think they are underrated. Also but according to me they are even better then "Yes"...
Reads Live 1974 Yet Prologue Credit Reads Paris Theatre 1976. Makes no difference the Sound is Upbeat, Enlightening and Just amazing
Now this is rock opera! Great Bass😇 I understand Anne. Don't ask again😋
Excellent video and sound. Would buy a DVD of this concert if was available.
fantastico!
Great Super group. Equal to Genesis and Yes. Excellent musicians and suberb lead singer .The amazing Annie.Prologue is a masterpiece.
Thank you for posting this small segment of what was probably a great concert. I wish I had seen the original band. I saw Annie performing with a touring band twice. The first was at the Bethlehem Musik Fest in 2002. That was a simply an incredible concert. The band she had with her was fantastic. Then in 2019 she appeared at the Keswick Theater in Glenside Pa. She was on a bill with Al Stewart who opened for her band. He was fantastic. It was just him playing his guitar and took even asked for requests from the audience. His voice was as good as ever. Then Ms. Haslam's band took the stage. Her style was in great contrast to Al's. After about the third song people started yelling out requests and she yelled back "We're not playing that tonight ". She sucked the air out of the room. During her performance I even left the theatre and ran across the street for a slice of pizza. I came back and noticed that a sizable amount of the audience had vacated. Her attitude just rubbed the audience the wrong way. Her performance just didn't sparkle. We left early as well. I wish I had just had come to see Mr. Stewart.
Soo unfortunate Her genre and and live performances do not lend themselves to request
Fantástico!!!!✌❤🎼
Banda sensacional 💙
