    I played this last night in full, maybe for the first time in many years. It brought a tear to my eyes after all this time. It's a beautiful track that I have loved since it first came out. I so loved what they did and the way John Tout's beautiful keyboard work and writing was so prevalant.

    From the first time I opened my LP of Novella and heard this track, I was hooked. Still today, the sound from this vinyl album is amazing and one I've treasured since. This live version is just as amazing. Thx for posting!

    Wow wow wow. Thank you for posting. Reminds me of why I and many others in the New York/New Jersey area were in love with Annie Haslam. Annie looks great and sounds great! Fantastic to see the guys as well-- John Tout was a brilliant keyboardist and Terry Sullivan was so tasteful on drums. Michael Dunford wrote so many creative, original songs, and Jon Camp added a lot to the signature sound on bass. So nice to see and hear, and of course the forever beautiful Annie. Thanks again!

    Novella album by Renaissance is still my favorite of all time New Age Music. They were way ahead of their time. Their music is like no other group ever. They are one of a kind. They are the Pioneers of New Age Music. They put me in a state of isolated limbo. Annie came from above with her wings on to sing with her angelic voice.

    Glad that as a metalhead a lot of my favorite artists grew up with this music and they speak of it very fondly in interviews and such. Discovered Song for all Seasons throu Mikael from Opeth two years ago, and have since then destroyed the entire Renaissance discography. We can't let this music fade away.

    • @Zyborggian
      @Zyborggian Před rokem +1

      I'm in the process of destroying it rn. Not gonna lie I'm surprised I didn't read that same interview cos I'm wishing I had. Opeth got me into prog rock as well. Almost done with Song for All Seasons and it's definitely my fave of the albums so far.

    Amazing what three men can produce. A cake with icing -- the icing being Annie's voice of course. When I listened to this in the 70's I thought I was hearing many instruments on many different tracks. It seemed impossible to me that anyone could produce "progressive rock" like this in a live performance. Unless, of course, they had a few dozen musicians backing them up.
    It wasn't until just be for the 11:00 minute mark that I finally saw what the drummer was sneaking off to do. I just could not figure out where that sound was coming from.
    Thanks for sharing!

      All of their best music was from 1971-1977.
      For ELP it was from 1970-1973. For YES it was from 1971-1974 (arguably 77 as well if you include "Going for the One"). For Genesis it was from 1970-1976.

    This is simply beautiful. I loved hearing this as a child on quiet winter evenings, just me and my father playing scrabble together after losing my mum back in the 70's. It still evokes those times. The live version here misses the orchestra specifically at the beginning but nonetheless, a great performance.

    They barely had a profile here in Australia...but a local record shop proprietor knew me and my musical bent (plural?) well, thought I'd like them...and played me the first track of an import he'd acquired: cue "Trip To The Fair". Of course I was sold, and what an exceptional talent was Annie Haslam. Have searched out, played and enjoyed the albums 1970-79 ever since. Annie still possesses that golden and glorious voice, and all power to her. Thank you for posting these fabulous mementoes. Annie...ahhh..!

Nice to take a 'lil breather and revisit this. Sure brings back memories, and just a re-injection of an Energy that is Good Medicine right now! I used to play this song on guitar, and some of their other songs on piano.....and sing too. Annie, as well as Shawn Phillips, were my "vocal teachers" when I was a teen.

    I like this performance for allowing us to hear more of Annie's range than many of the more well known pieces do. Annie has a 5 octave range. I didn't know until yesterday that a friend of mine who I know is classically trained has (maybe now it's "had") a range of 4-1/2 octaves. They are both a treat to hear in person. Your spine tingles.

    25 years ago I listened to Renaissance's albums and mourned that such excellence could not possibly be reproduced live. I assumed Annie did 100 takes and they spliced together her best notes. I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY CREATE SUBLIME PERFECTION LIVE! It is literally gasp-inducing. Do they get that male-voice-chant effect at 9:55 with a synth?

    I have a 1976 issue of Rolling Stone with an article about Renaissance. It said the band (mainly Dunfurd, the guitarist) would make a recording of the music and mail it to this woman Thatcher (forgot her first name-she was not a member of the band) and she would write the lyrics and mail them back to the band. Bought "Novella" in the summer of '77 when I was 17 and fell in love.

    A rare, 5 octave voice. I saw them play last year in a small theater. I could NOT believe this woman was only about 10 ft. away from me, singing for us...it was truly surreal.

    Captivating song. It sounds appropriate for a James Bond movie.

    Thanks for the clear-up. At first I thought it was a woman they sent the music to but I had this premature after-thought. I don't have the credits in front of me. Notice the "Doctor Zhivago" music in the break in "Can You Understand"? Don't see a credit for the composer on the "Ashes Are Burning " album. Thanks

    Betty Thatcher was the lyricist for the band on most of its albums. Terry/Terence Sullivan was the drummer on nearly all their albums -- well, the ones that mattered, anyway. ;) Betty Thatcher never played drums for the band and they also never had a drummer named Thatcher. But each of them, separately, were masters at their respective crafts.
