Renaissance - Prologue - Live at the Union Chapel DVD

[@CharlieRiceMusic]

After all these years, I can still remember all the words.

[@jpmnewyork]

How droll.

[@CharlieRiceMusic]

@@jpmnewyork Absolutely!

[@rupertbobrowicz963]

From sweet innocence to elegant maturity the quality continues to surpass expectations. The more I listen, the deeper the impact. Thank you Renaissance for your artistic evolving musical journeys.

[@cliffcarr3632]

Annie is amazing, to perform and still keep going at her age fascinating.She does it because she loves doing it, not just for her self but for her many fans, a true artist!!

[@3rdstone311]

Went to see them back in the 70's at the Philadelphia's Spectrum, they opened for Return To Forever, needless to say they blew me away. Still listening to them on vinyl, they take me to a better place...still do.

[@waterdragon4950]

I’ve been enchanted by her voice for 40+ years. Wow.

[@gyulakoczo1205]

I don't believe it ! It is the same voice as it was some decades ago. "No time for them". How can it be ? Congratulations !!!

[@juliedickerson3230]

Beautiful. I saw them in 1977. Still AWESOME!!!!!

[@fmtfniuprog8029]

From the 1977 formation, only Annie remains!

[@schnertblatt]

I've loved the music of Renaissance, ever since they were introduced to me way back in 1972. Annie's voice always enchanted me, but, I liked the whole group also. Fantastic harmonies. I actually like also the earlier iteration of the group.

[@eliorodriguez387]

Excellent singer.

[@christophervanraij1505]

This woman is absolutely amazing!

[@nicolasjnyergesm9534]

My favorite Singer

[@ScottyColoradoKid]

just gives me chills; how can that voice still be so perfect? absolutely amazing, Annie is...

[@joeking5310]

I think Annie is a freak of nature. No one at her age should be able to sing that well. Most 20-30 year olds can't come close to this. Prologue is a brilliant album.

[@richardperusse4299]

you're absolutely right ....she surely don't smoke cigarette , she have vocal chords very clean and to reach the higher notes you don't have the choice ....fantastic ....

[@daveskerritt185]

I looked up Renaissance, to see older vids. I'm surprised that they were still playing live in recent years! Annie still looks beautiful, and still has the voice of an angel. :)

[@fmtfniuprog8029]

No longer are they, this is a great band that Annie has joined to play the music of Jon Camp, Michael Dunford, John Tout and Terry Sullivan ...

[@jeffrey322]

Original members have either passed on or retired. The most well-known incarnation, which recored the bulk of the music and toured, was the best in my opinion. I think this band is too slick (sterile) and lacks soul.

[@glauciodon.campelo8967]

Jon Camp is still playing. Dunford and Tout passed away on the last decade. Sullivan probably retired.

[@sfgmen]

Loved them, saw them on a Day on the Green concert in Oakland in the 70’s. Thank goodness they are on KZbin. They left an impression on me.

[@joewozniak1738]

Loved her then, love her now ! You go girl, ahem, woman !

[@shangle21]

Going in October to see one of my wife & I's favorite bands. Can't believe it has been 5 years since we last saw them.

[@donaldwhittaker7987]

The old days are still with us

[@markbranton1834]

Her Soprano voice is what has always attracted me to her and your style of music!

[@laomark9583]

Annie is truly amazing (just been to her Renaissence show in Rio, Brazil 2 weeks ago), but we MUST NOT diminish a bit the value of the late, brillant, Beth Tatcher and EVERY MEMBER of the "more" original band. It was a team of geniouses, which I never seen nearly matchable, ever! ...If I was asked whether I prefered that Renaissance existed or I be born/alive, I certainly would chose Renaissence existance than my life. Is there a stronger reverence and appreciation to Renaissance than this???

[@786itube]

The UK missed out on this gem of a group mainly because of media mis-reporting and skewed marketing. This has been a truly exceptional group with their unique blend of classic-rock. Apart from the poetic lyrics of the late Bettie Cartwright, the complex orchestration, not forgetting their liberal changes in key, tempo, rhythm etc. And, of course, how can one forget the beautiful 5-octave voice of Annie Haslam. I’ve listened to this group since the 70’s, and still do, and never tire of them as they always sound fresh and appealing. Sadly though, with Michael’s passing away, Annie remains the sole, and immensely credible, flag-bearer. Long live Renaissance as they have brought so much of joy to many of us.

[@jameskeyes9112]

I grew up in central Mississippi. I only happened upon the band thru my voracious exploration of anything out-of-the-ordinary, musically. In about 1976, I ran across Live @ Carnegie Hall. I was hooked. I played the grooves off that double LP, and then Novella. I was disappointed when they (like Genesis, post Gabriel/Hackettt) began to water down their classic sound. I know it was all about trying to make them more marketable, but I really enjoy their classical period.

[@raymondbonington9355]

There big year here in the uk was 1978 ,big hit single and gold album sales .

[@francoisbenoit5335]

@@jameskeyes9112 I think the poetess you mean is Betty Thatcher. Right ?

[@jameskeyes9112]

​@@francoisbenoit5335She was lyricist for them. Mick Dunford (RIP)wrote most of the music.

forever Annie.

[@laomark9583]

Renaissance was one of the top best (if not the no.1) music bands in history. But one must be sensitive, perceptive, analytic and comparative to FEEL THIS WITH CERTAINTY. I could list numerous fators after 35 year of frequent listening (feelig) their perfectionisms on the various facets of "musicmanship" but woud be too long to write here. still now, after these so many year, find new nuances and details I have not noticed before. God bless them!

[@michaelsalisbury2989]

This is really more like a Renaissance cover band. Only AH is left and I really don't care for this particular version of this song.

[@ScottyColoradoKid]

Michael; unfortunately I have to agree with you; I felt the same way, like I'm watching a cover band; they just don't capture the mystical magic that was Renaissance; its only our mutual love for Annie that keeps us all coming back......

[@daveskerritt185]

I was surprised that Renaissance was even still around. I remember them from their early recordings. It's good to see Annie. The keyboard player is good, even if he isn't an original member of the band. Does anyone recall that Keith Relf from The Yardbirds, and his wife, were the original members of Renaissance?

[@erichherms9932]

dave skerritt Jane Relf was his sister, if I remember correctly. The were great...

[@billkalivas9750]

They were so good! Too bad for me that I never saw them.

[@michelhille8107]

Tom Brislin is a great Keyboard player🎹. Like him since he plays with Camel for a short Tour in 2003 I think.

Is there a band Tom Brislin has NOT been in?? Mmm okay, maybe mine. Hardest working keyboardist in show business, surely!

[@bidalaska3457]

Well down

[@ScottyColoradoKid]

Its just so cool that she is still performing live and sounding great! I had some of the best sex of my life after taking a girl to a Renaissance concert in Boulder 1975; Annie; you got a lot of guys laid!

[@michaelhypno]

LOL good on ya

[@Salzburgerstiegl]

haha, hope u didn't call your girlfriend accidental "Annie" :)

[@ScottyColoradoKid]

Salzburgerstiegl; I think I almost did! I was thinking about Annie the whole time I was with her! I was going to type more here, but my fingers are too tired after typing out your name! I keep saying it out loud and just cracking up!

[@usmuse]

YES! After I saw the Camera Camera tour at the Agora in Atlanta there was something incredible in a hot tub! Well hey there was impromptu ballet going on in the aisles so what would you think would happen next!

[@daveskerritt185]

scott Fab T-Birds 79. Well, I always thought I would like to lay, or at least kiss Annie herself, but that was always a pipe dream. I wish I would have taken a girlfriend to one of their concerts so I could have gotten laid! lol :)

[@juliedickerson3230]

Its not just het, its All of them together.

[@OneForTheDollyBirds]

Wow! Didn't expect such interesting modifications to the original, but with your still being true to it. Annie, don't lose these guys. And, Annie, watch your dynamics at the ends of phrases; you sometimes need to trail off just a little bit sooner at the ends of phrases. Otherwise, . . . totally nailed it.

[@stephencrome8253]

LOL as if she needs singing lessons from someone on KZbin!

[@OneForTheDollyBirds]

@@stephencrome8253 That's not a singing lesson; that's intelligent feedback that she can use to maximize her wonderful abilities. If I were to give her a singing lesson, it would cost $85 ($75 with the twelve-week exceptional-progress discount) and last for two hours (more like two and a half). Besides, I teach keyboard, music theory, harmony, notation, ear training, rhythmic training, transcription, songwriting, and both homophonic and polyphonic arranging--NOT SINGING. Just think how boring social media would be if there were only statements like "Wow!" "Awesome!" "HeHe!" and no intelligent feedback.

[@stephencrome8253]

@@OneForTheDollyBirds LOL as if she needs criticism from someone on KZbin. Plus the fact that she will never see your ridiculous comment anyway.

[@OneForTheDollyBirds]

@@stephencrome8253 Whether she sees it matters little; whether I post something of value, for the public, matters. Apparently, YOU'RE the one who saw it! So, why are you so bothered by this? I didn't say "go eff yourself," I said pay attention to "your dynamics at the ends of phrases." That's not exactly a bad thing. Something's bothering you: What is it? Spill the beans, guy.

Why are the keyboardists sitting? Are they too damn old to stand? I could understand sitting at a grand piano. Guess they don't care. It's the difference between just playing and performing.

[@ChrisEchoes]

Their main keyboardplayer, John Tout, also used to sit down playing grand piano, organ and various other keyboards. Also their main composer and acoustic guitarplayer Michael Dunford also usually sat on a stool. The only two standing were Annie Haslam and their bassplayer Jon Camp.
