Review by Warthur
PROG REVIEWER

This collection from Esoteric includes cleaned-up live concerts from Renaissance, recorded by the BBC for broadcast (and so enjoying pretty decent sound quality). The audio CDs in the set include a 1977 gig from just before the release of Novella, previously released on the Live At the BBC Sight and Sound collection, and a 1978 concert supporting A Song For All Seasons, which hasn't previously had a wide official release.

Neither of these live sets saw the light of day on any of Esoteric's prior Renaissance boxed sets, so if you've been following their excellent reissue program of the band's studio albums you won't have these recordings, even though you probably have accumulated a fair number of versions of the specific songs. If you're big on Renaissance, you already know you want this; if you just want one live collection from them to dip into, I'd go for Live At Carnegie Hall instead; it's the famous live release from them for a reason, and whilst this collection captures their sound in fine quality, it also captures a few mixing errors from the night (in particular, the keyboards are a tad overwhelming in the mix at the start of the 1977 concert).

That said, if you have the Carnegie Hall set and want more live Renaissance, I'd certainly recommend putting this high on your checklist.
