The Renaissance Zone - Progressive Rock Music Forum

She is Love is an example of a song that could have been good or better but was totally botched. Even someone without musical training could detect this. Speaking as an old guy, one often remembers events in a way that is less than accurate if not entirely falsified without bad intent, so it could well be that both believe their answers to be correct.

Absolutely, don't think either of them intends to lie. I trust JC's account a tad more here because I have seen many instances of Annie forgetting stuff or misremembering events.

^ "Kindness" is definitely a universal broken hearted

love song and has some of Camp's best lyrics. Perhaps because they were so heartfelt.

I don't know whether this BBC Sight & Sound concert from 1977 has already been posted here, featuring the classic Renaissance line-up, but just in case it hasn't, here's a whole hour of Renaissance Live from the Golders Green Hippodrome in London for us all to enjoy.

And here's a far more recent Renaissance concert from the Union Chapel, London in 2015, featuring a brand new line-up with Annie Haslam still there at centre-stage.

Oh, I can tell you're trying. You're just awkward with discussions. You take things too personally or critically when they're not meant to be. We all can't like the same artists and music here, but we can co-exist fairly civilly.

^ Very nice Paul. You got your first "Thanks" from me. Keep it up.

Thanks! That's probably the first compliment I've had from you.

I hope you enjoy the second Renaissance concert too from as recently as 2015.

I'm hoping that's the first time anyone's posted those two Renaissance concerts on this thread. It would have taken me far too long to go back through all 33 pages to check.

One of the main advantages of watching YouTube music videos on Prog Archives is there are no annoying ads to interrupt the music and I can watch them in full screen mode on a 40-inch TV screen TV, if I view them on Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer 9.

We may have posted and discussed these concerts before. But it's alright. It's become a long thread. And can do with a few periodical bumps.

And, thanks to southsideofthesky, news of a rerelease of Turn of the Cards, incorporating one previously unreleased track, various remixes, the live at the Academy of Music 1974 show on 2 CDs, and a surround sound DVD of the original album

Fantastic cover of Ashes Are Burning. Definitely the best Renaissance cover I have heard.

Wonder if this is the singer Annie once referred to as accompanying her in the Brazil solo tour.

This is great but it's the only cover of Ashes Are Burning I've ever heard. I should have spent more time in Brazil! LOL

I must assume that with a fiddle player this group does a lot of Curved Air covers too.

Meanwhile, a nice video that compiles noteworthy notes (high and low) hit by Annie over the years. By selecting a cross section of old and new stuff, it ends up also showcasing her repertoire.
