RENAISSANCE - Can You Understand? [LIVE IN STUDIO] 1974 RARE

[@drewsagar2634]

Anyone listening in 2024? Love Annie ! I remember feeling that if she had said “Come” I would have followed her to the ends of the earth and beyond

[@Easy-Eight]

50 years... and she's a contemporary of "Yes" and Elton John's best Album, "Yellow Brick Road". For some reason this group reminds me of "Kansas".

As I’m sure you know that Annie was severely hearing impaired and had a five octave range, with a voice like an angel. One of my favorite groups of all time. Annie now lives in suburban Philly in Bucks county and is quite an accomplished painter. Still does an occasional show with surviving members. A truly beautiful woman and one of my heroes as I am also a hearing impaired singer. Thanks for the encouragement Annie so many years ago.

My beautiful wife of 44 years and I saw this band as our first date. They just don't do music like this anymore.

[@KM-jm5xj]

so very true! What a great first date!

[@marisaelenenadiejamusiccom3974]

You’re right when you say they don’t do music like this anymore you mean the commercial world. Commercial world is an entertainment field. Do you realize that we have 8 billion people in the world.. of course, people put out quality music that is on a high, artistic level. Of course, people are out there who are extremely gifted just like these people. The commercial world is an entertainment field. It is not a music industry. We were lucky to even have people like this for a little while, they were few and far between most of what they put out it’s just pure entertainment. It wasn’t fair to inspire anyone musically.

I was born in 1964. My older brother was 6 years older then me. He did the same thing. Including ELP, Pink Floyd and Yes. He got me my first Album and it was Renaissance. Oddly my sister who is 5 years older then me got me into Santana, Jefferson Airplane/Starship, CSN. And my dad got me into Jazz and my Piano teacher got me into classical. I got myself into New Wave.

I had the pleasure of recording Renaissance with our mobile recording studio in a hall in north London.

It was a lot of fun and afterwards Annie invited us all back to her place and she made us all supper. Good times

I totally agree. This performance is amazing. I had no idea how good Renaissance was

[@raywalton2294]

I saw them live five or six times when they were at their peak; every show was as good or better than the last one. I saw them for the first time when they opened for Climax Blues Band. Truly one of those times when the opening act was head and shoulders better than the feature band.

[@kenhoughton5476]

Keith Relf and Jane Relf were the original singers and guitars (Keith). 1969 to 1970. Keith died playing guitar barefooted electrocuted. It was a good band enjoyable relaxing.

[@williamhiggins842]

I couldn't agree with a comment more, I grew up in the seventies and got to see them five or six times.I was incredibly fortunate to have seen them during the recording of probably one of best live albums ever made at Carnegie Hall.They were just an unbelievably good band on stage.I will always love this version of Renaissance, every member of the band was extremely talented and contributed to the finished product and Annie Haslam'voice still to this day sends chills up and down my spine.I think I might still be in love with her like I was as a teenager.Definitely one of the best bands to ever trod the boards.

Wonderful memories of seeing them and following them for years. Met Annie at a TV studio show that was aired on PBS, I think I was the only girl in that audience. She was funny and so sweet. Still get goosebumps listening to her voice! Still have all my ticket stubs from the shows. Al Stewart would open for them on some of their tours…I miss those concerts.

While her male compatriots were amazing musicians and of course sublime composers, melding classical with rock to create their unique voice. RIP Michael & John, such a huge loss.

[@chrissnyder6787]

Incredible.. great video and sound compared to all others I've seen. I love watching Jon Camp on bass.. From an interview with Jon : "I spent a lot of time with Stanley Clarke and he can knock spots off me, but once we were sitting on a plane and he said to me, "I might be faster than you, but I could never be as melodic as you." I thought that was really nice and we had a wonderful time together."

Fico feliz de ver tantos brasileiros curtindo tão boa música, onde a maioria descerebrada só ouve subgêneros musicais...significa que nem tudo está perdido ainda 👍

[@anibalgomesfilho2173]

Isso mesmo Charles Bronson, o mundo ainda tem salvação. Rejeitemos a mídia imunda que todos os dias enfia na cabeça dos jovens de hoje, os subgêneros musicais

Aonde eu assino?

Annie has one of the all time voices , in the World of Music.

[@audiophile1024]

I saw Renaissance in the 70's in Chicago. The opening act was Al Di Meola. What a night to remember!

[@ALIENIGENA7777]

Ouvindo 50 anos depois com o mesmo arrepio de minha juventude. Vocês são eternos, obrigado.❤👏👏👏

정말 멋있는 말씀 같습니다 아 ~

Eu tenho 45 e amo essa banda. Abraços..

[@gingersongs]

I booked Renaissance in 1972. Lovely people, great band.

[@peterstoneham9871]

One word only needed: incredible.

[@2visiondigital]

Holy canoli that is a proper start to a seriously gorgeous song. That band did not need to stand aside for anyone. For me this is on par with my favs like Yes and Genesis, just not as well know. And that Era of musicians is aging into the sunset, feel fortunate to have these images/recordings. PS: Jon Camp has passed this Mortal Coil. Chris Squire Kin.

[@wildrosecece]

Not to be forgotten never

[@BrianJohnson-bq9tr]

The voice of an angel. Annie was my first musical crush when I was 13.

[@alessandroocchipinti4966]

Outstanding Music, Great Performance!! I miss all them!!!

[@dennisjones8622]

One of the top 5 bands of all time. Annie is just magical. They are truely timeless.

[@PortsladeBySea]

Renaissance were a fantastic band. Annie Haslam still occasionally performs live 🎶🥳👸

[@pedrodamiaokerpens3444]

Renaissance, uma banda por excelência, com uma musicalidade fora do comum acompanhando a Annie Haslam numa viagem de sonho imperdível.

[@soul_healer_myself]

Era só a minha mãe sair de casa que o meu irmão mais velho tocava essa musica com volume alto em casa quando eu era criancinha kkkkk Cresci com essa musica épica e vejo a qualidade dessa musica ainda é insuperável até hoje! Sensacional!!!!

[@gabrielnunes3497]

Minha cara, você sabe dizer se eles possuem alguma influência da cultural celta?

[@soul_healer_myself]

@@gabrielnunes3497 não achei um registro que comprove a ligação ou influência de cultura celta! Mas eu acredito que tenha sim. Garimpando sobre eles, bora?

[@ДмитрийБрылов-ж6к]

And the same with me and my grandma... But in Russia. Great Music.

[@raphaeldiasbarcellos5652]

[@Paulosantos-sb7es]

Theo Bass player is Just amazing.

[@beatlesrgear]

Yes! Jon Camp has never gotten the praise and honour that he deserves. I am one of only a few bassists who even know who he is. I appreciate him every bit as much as Chris Squire, JPJ, P McCartney, Geddy Lee, etc. I would love to see him recognized before he dies.

[@erichammer2751]

@@beatlesrgear What's your opinion of Gerry McAvoy?

[@gordonsmith7065]

@@beatlesrgear Couldn't agree more. Camp played bass like a lead guitar, and what he did required a lot of talent, I think. The late Jon Tout, the pianist in this video, was also sorely underappreciated. He was perhaps the most accomplished pianist of 70s rock, yet he never received the acclaim he deserved. Renaissance was such a talented band -- and of course the voice of Annie Haslam was perhaps the biggest marvel of them all. Those lyrics (most of them written by a putatively reclusive poet named Betty Thatcher) were not that strong, but it didn't really matter. This video takes me back to the 70s, and my love for Renaissance.

[@HughCorbyCruick]

Living in New York City, I saw a lot of bands, including Renaissance four times and I was always impressed with how good Camp was without any mention of him as a great bassist. But this band went under a lot of radars because they were not a band that fit into radio formats. And Annie captured all our hearts if you saw her.

[@skylarkman2000]

​Amazing musician . Rory's bassman .

[@joseargileu1676]

Banda maravilhosa!!!!!!!!! Muitas saudades Tempos maravilhosos !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ivanrojasreischel]

Gracias Apostolos Annis por recuperarme estos recuerdos que tenia perdidos. Renaissance fue junto con el grupo Sky dos de los grupos de rock progresivo que más escuche entre fines de los 70 y principios de los 80, cuando descubrí que había más música que la que ponían en las radios.

[@enzog1642]

ciao da giugno 2024. Renaissance li ascoltavo da giovane quando il progressive rock era la nostra musica. Semplicemente unica. Brilliant

[@betofogo17]

Simply one of the best prog bands ever and one of their masterpieces.

[@allanlindsay8369]

Such musicianship in he quintessential support of Annie's wonderful ,soaring unblemished vocal. Never to see such bands again? How tragic would that be? You never know what you've lost until it's gone.

[@marklove6580]

Faiport Convention with Sandy Denny opened the show in NYC in 1974 with Renaissance headlining, accompanied by a 21 piece orchestra. Pure magic. I’d give a body part to go back and see that show again.

[@Chris.Brisson]

Which body part would you give for a UHD Blu-Ray of that concert?

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

@@Chris.Brisson would he give up his nether regions?! That is the question. 👀

[@lindadennis1409]

The most talented and underrated group ever. This song is a MASTERPIECE! The pianist just blows my mind.

[@robertobaralis2367]

Sensational band. All the components are magistral strumentalist, but the diamond is the stunning voice of Annie Haslam. Wow wow

[@MichaelHealey-bi9jp]

Annie Haslam is wonderful as is Renaissance. I’m so glad my Yes/ Genesis / Pink Floyd friends told me about them in the 70s. We had it really good 😊

[@xXSpeedDeathXx]

Thanks for sharing this precious performance! "Can You Understand?" is aa powerful song from a band with incredible talents! Renaissance deserved much more recognition, even if late!

[@TeslaTales59]

Saw them play this live in '88 at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach, CA. What a show.

[@valeriapecanha2689]

Minha referência musical! Iniciei no piano ainda criança e ao ouvir a introdução dessa melodia me aprofundei mais ainda na minha paixão 🎹🎼❤️Só gratidão 🎶

[@waltervalenca8757]

Annie you are one of a brilliant voice in the music... Brasil love you and the band... congratulations. 🥰😇😊😉

[@tiagorabelo7396]

E estaremos no show em SP em 2022
