This must be the most understated, yet most sophisticated group in the world. Each song is a work of art, while their concept albums are legendary. Despite the changes in personnel and sad loss of its its founding members - barring the truly exquisite Annie Haslam - whose 5-octave voice is the closest one may get to heaven - its a testament to their musical genius that they’re still touring and performing in this millennium. I’ve listened to them from the 70’s - and still do - and their music is a wonderful inspiration and remains as fresh as ever. Long live Renaissance who brought so much of joy to many of us.
beautiful Fealady Annie haslam
Очень хорошо сказано. Слушаю и восхищаюсь ими с 70-х, а мне уже семьдесят. Long live art-rock (progressive)!
Excellent comment. I’ve been a fan of Renaissance since their single Northern Lights was featured on BBC Top Of The Pops in July 1978 👍👏🥳

Well said, Amen !
Takes me back to younger days of my youth.
First time I saw them was in Carnegie Hall 1974. I never heard of them before (never heard much of anything. I was 18). I fell in love with them instantly. The rest is history.
Thank you for the comfort for the past 50 years. Every tune became part of my life. With love❤
I too saw them at Carnegie same year. Went with a girl that t loved. But that’s a differnt story
I fell in love with them from that concert - on a tape that a friend brought me. I had a bunch of people over (I was 15 and my mom was out of town, of course!), and he popped that little cassette into my tape player and said "You're going to like this...." I wound up leaving the party to go listen where it was quiet, elsewhere in the house... and 50 years later, I'm still listening to Renaissance. In college, as a voice major, I could sing right along with Annie - every high note. That's gone now, as it is for her too. We saw her in concert maybe 7 or 8 years ago, in a small club venue. Even with vocal changes, it was still wonderful.
Hope you also know the originalBest band Keith and Jane R
My God! I almost burst in tears when I found this restored video, a great, great English band from zillions of years ago. When you listen this marvelous way of make music you just can realize the abyss on wich music has came down after almost half of century. I guess never has been happened something so disturbing in cultural history as the shittty music many made today. In comparison, this is like arrive to the Everest of music knowing you are all alone and no one arrive to make you company. I still have the original Ashes are Burning vinyl album from 1974, a masterpiece of beauty and balance, and later on I buy the double CD wich includes Prologue and Ashes are Burning. Thanks for share this musical jewel!
This is the ROCK genre at his BEST! Stunning VOCALS, classicaly trained musicians, beautiful compositions! Like STHENDAL said: For the happy FEW! (Le Rouge et le Noir). No Hall of Fame can understand THIS level!
Wow, this a find after all these years truly the best band this country never had.
Strong female vocals with talented musicians. What's not to like?!?
That was an incredible performance from one of my favorite bands EVER! Taking nothing away from the entire band but Annie Haslam's voice is truly stunning.
Better live than in the studio, which is a rarity.
Annie is the most beautiful woman in the world. Greatest voice ever too.
❤Annie is best vocalist, most beautiful singer ever. I love Annie much forever‼️😊
I’ve never seen Prologue done live before. Fantastic! Wow! Annie was 27 in this, what an earthly angel!
Was never familiar with their music back in the day - phenomenal! Especially love the drummer and vocals.The songwriting and performance are exquisite! Ahh- the 70's - when one still needed an attention span to listen to music....
Amazing bass-work by Camp. It takes strong hands to play a Ric the way he's playing. What an amazing band. Top of their powers. Missing Tout and Dunford.
Real music by real musicians. 🎤🎹🎸🥁💖
The band's best lineup
Beautiful sounding band.. their aura is beautiful too..lovely clothing..decorum..nothing grungy, vulgar and crass...just beauty all the way...soft faces..they don't look like the hardened criminals of todays music scene ...not really joking but it sounds funny...they were/are surreal..
They are also nice people to talk to and write to!!!
This must now be the earliest extant TV footage of the classic lineup. Precious! Thanks so much for the upload!
So precious👏🏻👏🏻🌅
The real thing, guys: see and learn. One of the best of the rock history.
Stunning find , from a magical band and era. RIP John tout and Michael Dunford , thanks for the amazing music
A treasure of a band. Progressive rock at its best! "Ashes Are Burning" always gives me goosebumps and my hair stands up when Annie belts out in an other worldly voice " Imagine the burning embers......Ashes are burning the WAY!.." My favorite song of theirs combines progressive with classical with rock with an operatic cameo! Beyond wonderful:)
They were the most competent and musically intriguing of prog bands, with beautiful, poetic lyrics delivered by the singular Annie Haslam. Just superb all around.
This seriously needs an official release before it gets lost forever , Jon camp is easily the most amazing bass player had it not been for his unique lead bass guitar style they wouldn't of had such a signiture style & sound - they never sounded anything like Renaissance without Jon camp on rickenbacker bass.
They also would not have sounded like Renaissance without all members of the Classic Line up right here especially without the Operatic Voice of Annie and John on Classical piano!
Have you heard of Phil Lesh ??
Amen
Chris Squire!!!
In my opinion, the best Prog rock band to have ever assembled.
I know that's controversial, and most people would disagree with me, but I am STILL listening to them all the time.
I recently sold most of my LPs and CDs. I kept all of theirs though. 🙀
Good for you. I'm okay with that claim. Not my favourite band, but definitely in my Top 10 - and, considering who the other bands are (you might guess), it' still an honour to rank there. I'd keep all of their albums too - as I told someone recently, they're "one band whose music I couldn't live without".
@@MikeFlood-oe3tu
That is an interesting question. What is my top 10? I suppose it depends on my mood and the day you ask me, but off the top of my head right now it would be (not necessarily what I think is the most important, but what I personally over time still listen to the most):
1. Renaissance
2. Jethro Tull
3. ELP
4. King Crimson
5. Rush
6. Marillion
7. Moody Blues
8. Led Zeppelin
9. Roxy Music
10. The Heartthrobs
@@TheInnerParty...your Top 10 - 6 of those listed here would be in mine, also - but you are missing (for me) the 3 most obvious ones. 😉
...and those (missing) 3 recorded the 3 greatest albums of all time, respectively.
@@TheInnerParty Yes isn't on your list?? I could do without Jethro Tull, but Yes would take their place on my list.
Posting this 12 days after this video was added. Glad to see this got 12,400 views in such a short time. The appreciation of good music isn't dead in 2021. What great musicians, all of them.
I could watch this over and over. This band is as good as any prog rock group and better than most. John Tout should be ranked up with Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, Tony Banks etc. I prefer listening to this performance over the overly orchestrated CD versions. What ever happened to beautiful melodies and harmonies? BTW - I've had a crush on Annie for 50 years!
always been a great fan of progressive bands like "Van der Graaf Generator" or "King Crimson", but I always loved "Renaissance". they were the perfect link in between classical and rock music. enyoy this video!
And me too...
Renaissance captured my soul a very long time ago and I'm so grateful.
Annie should be sanctified, for sure !
Annie's unsurpassed voice , the superb instrumental, along with Thatcher's lyrics, made Renaissance unique.
I love Renaissance! Wonderful song!
Their music stands the test of time..like an Italian frescoe
One of the saviors of the seventies, great trip band.
Tout's keys are oniric, and Annie's voice is angelic. And she was very cute back them, I must say.
Annie Haslam could sing the phone book and enthrall the audience.
I have the original album and well preserved for 53 years.
The Voice of an Angel says my mother when listening to Annie...
annie and her voice is the heart of renaissance. just beautiful
Annie's voice makes the angels cry
Luckily, I got to see Annie Haslam in 2014. Too bad the originals were long gone, but the music was just as great. Very under rated and underappreciated, imo.
When music was music...
You 're right, very right...
Okay, I get that popular music tastes change over time, but I sure wish that young people would have access to groups of their generation that play this kind of music. I was into hard rock back then, but this band expanded my music education and appreciation.
I’m so glad I got to see this lineup in ‘76. I never tire of Annie’s voice and sway.
Her vocal 20 years later on Yes’ Turn of the Century with Steve Howe is mesmerizing.
If you ever tire of hearing Annie’s voice then you are tired of living.🥲
what a wonderful voice from Annie. What a wonderful band!!!! Thanks 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nice to see John showing off his linguistic skills.
A truly wonderful band.
I would have loved to have seen them live.
Maybe next to Gentle Giant my favourite band live
Saw Renaissance live in the late ‘70s in NY. Truly amazing show.
I was lucky - I saw them at least 3 times, and a 4th once the band had broken up but Annie was still able to do some of their songs with different musicians backing her up.
Another great band, like Gentle Giant, Caravan, Camel etc, did not receive same praise on radio as other, lesser bands
Such a crying shame Renaissance didn't get their desirved credit. Check out turn of the friendly card
I first saw and heard Renaissance at Liverpool Uni in early 76 and was left amazed at what I heard. They finished with the full 25 minute plus version of Ashes complete with glitterball. A while later I bought the Live at Carnegie Hall album. It remains my favourite album of all time. Just beautiful music.
Great performance! Annie's voice is perfect ♥️💐
She sounds amazing here
Amazing John not only was he a stellar keyboard artist, but speaks French :-) sadly missed, RIP JOHN T
sensacional Annie HASLAM, lead vocals
Michael DUNFORD, guitar [R.I.P.]
Jon CAMP, bass guitar & vocals
John TOUT, keyboards, percussion & vocals [R.I.P.]
Terry SULLIVAN, drums & percussion
A MELHOR FORMAÇÃO DE TODOS OS TEMPOS. ESPETACULAR NÃO EXISTE PALAVRAS PARA TAL.
That translation really sucked...
Também é a milha formação favorita, pois que foi esta formação que criou estas músicas fantásticas!
De salientar que os músicos que actualmente acompanham a Annie, também são muito bons!
Beautiful Annie !
The very best music band in the world... no other band comes even close. Each of them were 100% genius, including the song writer that the majority do not give attention to Beth Thatcher. After living and traveled to 60 countries, I never found one that could match. The first time I listened to them was in Sept 1979 and since them they did not leave my heart... I listened to their perfect songs (with a few exceptions) over 10,000 times and never get tired and only after the first 2 or so decades I was able to start learning some of the secrets which normally we do not realize. If there is perfection is popular music.. they are THE ONE!
Absolutely beautiful. A real pleasure to listen to. Jon Camp rocks!
I can't say how often I have watched this since I discovered it a month ago, but man, it get's better every time. I really love the tangible raw energy compared to the studio versions and how everybody and especially Annie is visibly absorbed in the music. My favorite part: when Annie sustains the high notes in the last part of "Ashes". Gives me shivers every time. :-)
Everything is beautiful. The video, the music, and Annie are beautiful.
Other than the less-than-great audio, it's the best Renaissance video I've ever seen, real closeups on all of them
La increible musica nunca muere, gracias a quien la subio a la red, es parte de mi vida, mi adolecencia y para agradecer hasta ahora los escucho es una alegria para mi corazon......gracias.
Thank you so much for posting this. I’m falling in love with this band all over again.
This is great footage I have been listening to them since I was in college in 1976. I saw them at Alexandra Palace in London one Christmas Eve where they were support band for Wishbone Ash, one of my memorable concert. I must have listened to ashes is burning so many times, Annie Haslam is one of the few singers who can hit 5 octaves, perfect singer and musicianship
Thanks so much for sharing these beautiful videos of my favorite band. Very generous of you.
Great performance! I am fortunate to have lived at a time when this and much other superb music was created. I have been able to see Renaissance live several times in the last decade, and hope to be able to see them perform again in the future.
Many thanks for this extraordinary upload. This is Renaissance at their absolute peak. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I love this is band!!!
Flawles prforamce. It's a crime the record label couldn';t get them US TV exposure in 1974. They couldn;t market them properly. I've never seen this footage before.
Truly a gem - thanks for this. Real musicians playing real music live in a studio.
Guess what kids, this is how it should be done!
Never easy doing it live because so many things can go wrong, but this is fantastic all around.
Just wonderful! Incredible complex compositions, melodic bass lines, Annies angelic, crystal clear voice... Man, how I miss this kind of music. I was only 7 when this was recorded, but I love the music from the late sixties and early seventies and in particular prog rock. Thanks for finding and sharing this gem!
I still remember the day 48 years ago I first heard this group…in my earphones from a local FM station while doing homework. Like nothing I’d ever heard before. Listening again now with headphones. The sound is magnificent and immediate. So unique
Best lineup of Renaissance with an amazing performance. All on point.flawless at their craft resulting in an recording for all fans to enjoy. Jaw dropping. Thanks for posting this gem!
Amazing quality. You are a saint for uploading this.
Love Jane. Annie is great and deserves every accolade she ever received but Jane was also such a beautiful singer and beautiful soul. What is she doing now? I recall she was in Illusion which was parts of the original Renaissance and they put out at least two great records. I still listen to Out Of The Mist fairly often.
@@debracheckjanisch168 Jane and the three other original Renaissance members recorded another album in 2001 ruclips.net/p/OLAK5uy_mMhr9DkMYIdePAviH35qiBhk7cMZ6alPc
She has also sang on a couple of Jim McCarty's albums. Other than that I'm afraid I don't know much.
This was awesome. Makes it even better that it was in Luxembourg, where my family originated from!
absolutly fantastic! The arrangements are great since ithey done in 1974.The studio version is best,of course.
I was 12 when this was recorded. Wish I had known about Renaissance back then but didn't discover them until many years later. Thanks for the video share.
OMG, that glory note at the end of "Prologue", devine!!
Skip the intro unless you speak French - the music doesn't start until 3:50. The music is fantastic and Annie is amazing and super-beautiful
I can't understand any French, but I love this kind of music 🎶 ❤️ 🎶
hello at the bigining he just said his dream is to be a rock and roll singer and after he introduce the band
Thanks for translation 👍
He also tells the story about Keith Relf from The Yardbirds (being replaced by Jimmy Page) who founded the first Renaissance line up...
Wonderful musicianship and Annie was stunning and had a beautiful voice.
Hi Charlton, Annie is still alive you know and still has a fantastic voice and vocal range.
Great intro in French what little I could pick up, he laid out the Yardbirds connection with the early days of Renaissance. Information not bandied about much today.
One of my favorite bands growing up, and I still love them. RIP Mickey and John
Uma das melhores vozes do mundo, encantadora
Just AWESOME band.
And a brilliant voice...
I loved all. Kiss from Brasil.
If it's possible ??? Come back an play a concert for me and all Brazilian...
🥰😇😊😉🙃🙂😂
Wow! What treasure! What a wonderful video, great quality of image and sound. I've enjoyed their music from 1976 on when I bought Live at Carnegie Hall and started searching for all their albums from then on. Great band at their peak. Great songwriting. Love it! Many thanks for posting this video ❤️
Je suis heureux d'avoir plus de 50 ans et d'avoir connu cette merveilleuse époque
Oh this is a wonderful showing of Annie & Co ☺
Always loved the Renaissance. When I was 16 , I had a big crush for Annie Haslam .
Funny I was just thinking that 16 minutes ago.
but I was 18
@@Bocker67 She’s got us all back in the days of rain in may , at least after a little spliff
Who didn't !!
I still do!
It′s my good old days！
Thank you so much for this high-quality upload! Discovering it made my day.
Still sounds so good after all these years. Classic! Merci Beaucoup Renaissance. 😎💙👍
Great document ! 32 minutes of happiness... and for once I hear them talk in my native language... The late John Tout is speaking quite OK in French. Thanks a lot for uploading this. The quality is really good for a video that is really old. and the filming is good too.
Man... Wow... This is exceptionally good.
Maravilhoso! Brilhante! Único!
How good it is to feel tears on my face again, thank you.
Discovered them with Turn of the Cards album. Bought all their U S albums within a week!
A L W A Y S - S T U N N I N G, THEN AND NOW! 💖
Que preciosidade este vídeo. Tive a grata oportunidade de ve-los tocar em um show incrível em São Paulo-Brazil.
Thanks so very much for sharing. Now all we need is some footage (if not a full concert) of the classic lineup with an orchestra. It's a shame so little concert/performance footage of the band exists but I'll take what I can get. :)
Grande banda, Annie Haslam com uma voz espetacular. Saudades❤👏👏👏
just a flawless performance! Forgot how great this band was...
At first, thanks so much for sharing this great footage of one of my favourite bands. I discovered them not earlier than in 1984, so it was after their heydays. Being a drummer I find it remarkably Terry Sullivan obviously playing a silver sparkle 70s Gretsch drumset, as later on he switched to Slingerland. Another special thing is the smaller cymbal on the right hand side of his ride cymbal - it is a Paiste Sound Edge bottom hi hat cymbal, normally not used as a crash cymbal. I have always liked his light and swingy drumming style. I wish I had the possibility to see them in those times...
I noticed the sound edge hi hat as a crash too. I’ve got one, I might try it out!
In the epic version of 'Can you understand' live at Carnegie Hall (June 20, 21, 22, 1975) I love his drumming supported by the NY Philharmonic Orchestra and Jon Camp who holds the bass figure. They are amazing. One of my favorite all time rock songs.
watch here "Can you understand" Carnegie Hall live ruclips.net/video/6PfgFC0V7p8/видео.html
@@tomtrana3449 Yes, this is definitely the best version of this great song, and we all might have the album...😉
His son Lee is also a drummer, check out Bôa. Also features Paul Rodgers son and daughter Steve and Jasmine.
Renaissance, I like that .. Selten so eine schlechte Soundqualität von RTL4 Studio Luxemburg gehört.
Bellissimo!!!!
Fantastic. Absolutely ROCKS!
Wow! As I remember a totally wonderful band!
My first introduction to renaissance was a late night performance of black flame I've been a fan ever since!
This video is amazing and gives me morale for the inconvenience of not being able to attend Renaissance in the cancelled Night of the Prog in Lorelei (Germany) this year and also in 2020 (also cancelled). The interview to John Tout in the introduction is fantastic, explaining why he was considered a soft spoken and well-educated legendary keyboardist. There is a surprising cite to Franz Listz as favorite musician. Not to Prokofiev (as in his shirt of the back cover of A Song for All Seasons) or to Rimsky-Korsakov (for Scheherazade and one of the last movements of Things I Don´t Understand). Probably because Michael Dunford was mainly involved in the selection and composition of this music and he was very interested on Russian composers.
There are traces of Debussy's compositions in his work too! John was an amazing pianist, he had "the touch", an incredible feel in his playing. All members of this great (an unique in its style) band were marvellous musicians. This is the way most of their gigs were played back then: no symphonic orchestra (like on some greats tracks of their studio an the "Carnegie Hall" albums), no tapes running... just them with their instruments. It's curious how they managed to play many "orchestral parts" just with Annie's voice and John's piano and (later) some synths. Great work! Thanks for posting this video.
