Renaissance Song Of Scheherazade Live At Carnegie Hall

[@jimryan5479]

I was lucky enough to see Renaissance a number of times including at Carnegie Hall when this was recorded live. It was an amazing,amazing night! Annie’s Voice is/was magical!

[@Divaqueen1957]

Me too

[@mikeyvester]

When my peers were listening to Abba, I was a big Renaissance fan.

[@writer125]

You definitely listened to the better band. Abba was just a bunch of hits, while Renaissance always will live forever.

[@jamiewesson898]

@@writer125 abba made great albums as well both are great bands imo

[@78yestor93]

@@jamiewesson898 Yeah both bands were brilliant, totally different though one Unique and the other run of the mill average pop band!

[@MikeCarvin]

@@78yestor93 Abba were/ are a fantastic band. Totally different music but definitely not average pop!!

[@amitraam1270]

Abba were amazingly good, different genres, of course. It is not easy to create a whole music piece in 3 minutes. Try listening to "Eagle" for a good example of their ability. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnWsaKtno9yHi9k

[@anthonyvitolo4634]

One of a kind band. No band was or ever will be like them.

[@michaelsalisbury1477]

Anthony Vitolo that's right including their later versions without John Tout.

[@hermiasvisser812]

I agree totally

[@wincup]

한국에서 동감합니다.

[@dennisjones8622]

I was blessed to experience the greatness of Renaissance twice in the 70's. Among the best 5 concerts I ever saw. No one can ever top Annie and the incredible musicians beside her.

[@1qaz2wsx3edc5753]

This sounds just like the studio version! This is one of the best prog tunes I have ever heard in my life! supreme musicianship, creativity, artistry, and visionary!

[@chrisrickert8638]

I’ve seen Renaissance 4 times; my fifth will be at the Landsdowne Theater this October. I saw them 2 sold out nights at the Keswick in 2015 with the orchestra; I can’t believe that this upcoming show could ever top that performance, but of course it’s the farewell tour. Not going to miss it. I’ve met Annie 3 times; once at a Renaissance show and twice at here solo shows that she does in Upper Black Eddie, Pa. She lives 15 minutes from my house here in Bucks County Pa. I always feel comfortable knowing she’s close by; she’s the real deal for sure.

[@786itube]

Simply exquisite - everything about this band - from the lyrics, composition, orchestration, performance and, of course, the stellar singing of Bolton-born Annie Haslam, One of the greatest - and most underrated groups - ever. Testament of their genius is that, despite the sad passing away of several band members, Annie remains the sole flag-bearer with this group which is still performing and touring in 2022 - some 50 years (circa) since its inception.

[@cynthiaraimonte9846]

I couldn't agree more about tyre musical excellence and it's ability to grab you by the soul is what Renaissance was and is. Annie Harlem is a true jewel!

[@donaldwhittaker7987]

I have always rated them in my top six, along with pink floyd, yes, early king crimson, early genesis, and ELP. It's always nice to hear musicians who are actually musicians.

[@fredvachss6567]

That one perfect high note at 27:52 encapsulates their whole career for me. So glad they were recorded live at their peak.

[@bayliste]

It happens frequently that if I don't have enough time to enjoy the composition in its entirety, I look for directly, at least, to those last notes - for the same reason.

[@ArBaCw]

This version of this song was the first I ever heard of Renaissance back in the late 70's. And it was love at first hear. Fan since then. For me this is the best live album ever produced.

[@martaovi5404]

+Ron Wijnen tell me please best sounding cd for this álbum live....Warner rhino or Warner only 2009? thank you

[@ronb3144]

imo "Tales of 1001 nights" Vol.1 on warner label is the finest cd quality

[@ArBaCw]

Marta Ovi Hi Marta, I only know the Warner only CD. Thats the one I have and it's good. But I still like the vinyl version (which I also have, in fact this was my first Renaissance album ever) the most.

[@1qaz2wsx3edc5753]

This is a perfect representation of the original song off the album. It is a complete jaw dropper!!!!!! What musicianship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jimryan5479]

It does bring goosebumps every time I hear it!

[@markhall7646]

This is a comment I have NEVER seen to this work. There are a number of lovely and arresting bassoon and flute solos all through this. For those of you who might have an idea of these instruments, listen and witness the sheer majesty of Renaissance's orchestration.

[@ralphstalnecker2449]

So agree!!

[@mariusgaius7271]

The love theme is just magical here. A masterpiece. Can never get tired of listening to it. Beautiful.

[@frozenlover6832]

Thanks Annie for your beautiful vocals on this wonderful song.

[@herbie2001tdi]

Goosebumps: Goosebumps occur on our skin in a reaction to cold, fear, shock and sometime due to sense of nostalgia or something awe-inspiring. I'm going with awe-inspiring in this case.

[@markhall7646]

No matter how much time passes between hearing this it still captures me and holds me very still. Annie's soaring last note is still a prayer ascending.

[@dewantawidyaswara221]

discovering renaissance is like discovering there more to life that it was

[@joekehoe3548]

One of my favorite albums of all time. Saw them at the Academy Of Music in Philly in the 70’s.No one has a better voice than Annie!!!

[@foxtrotnow]

The New York Philharmonic Orchestra accompanying the band in this magnificent performance at Carnegie Hall.

[@joemauro7850]

I was at that concert in Carnegie Hall! Awestruck can't even come close to describing my feelings, and I was in a band touring as an opener for J. Giles at the time, but HAD to catch this concert!

[@reilweiler1228]

I was there... June 22, 1976 ... it was the day after my sister's wedding... GREAT music... and in Carnegie Hall (acoustics outstanding!!)

[@straycatttt]

Joe Mauro, you could have become the lead on the bill if you could have spelled correctly the name of J. Geils.

[@richdisilvio4591]

A Magical Masterpiece...one I've loved and listened to since its release. Amazing live performance by all.

[@toodlevy9703]

Best show i have ever seen it was a rainy night in N.Y.C and just going into carngie hall was a thrill todd.

[@alejandroferrari1880]

Still now, more than 40 years behind, this song produce me a strong emotion

[@jimryan5479]

Annie at the top of her game!

[@williamjean9392]

I was a young kid back in maybe 1972 or so. I went into a music store. Cant remember the store name. I was a big Prog fan. Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Yes. They were playing Renaissance over their sound system. I never heard a more beautiful voice in my life.

[@mikebeckham55]

I saw them once in St.Louis the same year this album came out and it was pure heaven. The composing a

[@mikebeckham55]

And musicianship was fabulous and I will never forget it!

[@davidglasscoe814]

Just flashed on this amazing piece of music. First time to listen to it in around 40 years. Incredible,beautiful amazing. Where was my brain for all this time ? Up there with Selling England,Suppers ready & more. Prog rock was the & is the advance of classical music. I also had a crush on Annie Haslam. Stunning

[@jeffreygoss8033]

Its been 40 years for me too. Popped into my head and I'm amazed that I listened to that kind of music back then! Thanks KZbin for the memories!

[@francescomalone8250]

Veri artisti. Anni 80 impareggiabili. I brividi anche a 65 anni

[@disgruntledtoons]

@27:51: The lady nails it!

[@mariusgaius7271]

Annie vocals here are spot on perfect on Love Theme. It just doesn’t get any better than this. The epitome of perfection! ❤️❤️❤️

[@writer125]

A masterpiece. Thanx for posting this.

[@hellpoome]

At a fan signing event after a performance in Seoul, South Korea on October 8, 2010, what comes to mind is what appears to be a female classical music singer giving Annie a bouquet of flowers while getting her autograph. Even now, I can still see Annie being filled with joy even though she didn't know what to do. Betty Thatcher, Jane Relf, ​​and Annie Haslam are known to be the same age, born in 1947. Although Betty has passed away, I hope Jane and Annie live a long, healthy life.

[@antoniocarlostotola6981]

Jon Camp, além de excelente baixista, tinha uma voz muito boa!

[@joaquinlezcano2372]

12:20 this melody reminds me of Fountain of Salmacis by Genesis

[@kevin104z]

saw them twice bk in the day,and annie,once on her own..love her!!!!

[@johnparker4538]

To think that the same stage should have been graced by the presence of both Judy Garland and Annie Haslam, two very different singers, but both so utterly magical in their own ways.

[@78yestor93]

john parker - Yes both at the top of their musical trees, there are a others but these two are unreachable!

[@wincup]

아트락의 전성기였던 70년대에도 르네상스는 특별한 밴드였고, 앞으로도 당연히 혼자만의 장르를 고유하게 가져갈 밴드로 남을 것같다. 내 최고 밴드 중 하나.

nobody knows how brilliant they were except us

@@jamiewesson898 pretty sure she means their fans, that outside of their fans they are basically unknown, which is sad

[@julianholman7379]

it's interesting / amusing to compare the final of this to that of the Tubes 'White Punks on Dope' from a few months apart in the same year

This version surpass the studio IMO

[@sassy0010]

Joaquin, more than that, at least imho this was the only live album that surpasses the studio.

[@tonymanero2147]

The lyrics were not entirely Betty Thatcher; it was an uncredited group collaboration, and that's why it didn't have Betty Thatcher's "poeticness" throughout, like this corny one "The Sultan and Scheherazade are one."

100th comment. I win. Today is the 1st time I've heard this song and band.

She sounds incredibly similar to JON ANDERSON from YES, but she has been around much longer, so I guess he copied HER.
