My personal works at toxworks.com/ I noticed that this song was missing here. Why? It's a great song. From the album 'Scheherazade and other stories' It's the full music in just one video. Do enjoy!
Love this song. I used to play it in my record store all the time. My customers probably got sick of it but I never did. Annie Haslam’s voice really got to me. Still does.
I named Annie my top female vocalist of all time on my radio show here in St Louis. She was kind enough to join me the next day. What a tremendous talent and lovely lady. She is even donating one of her paintings to a charity auction I am holding. They don't make music like this anymore. I'm so glad they are doing a few Midwestern dates this fall.
@Iggy Strode I call you a lucky person Iggy.the song is very capturing.she must've gone out of her mind to find the people missing at the fair.they must have boarded a flying saucer last time I heard this song was 46 years ago.very happy I found this song and who played it.be cool Iggy,wish you well
Man I just heard this song for the first time on the radio garden app on an Irish classic rock station how have I never heard this incredible song before I am 61 years old here in California now I will have to check out their entire catalog
WOW I haven't heard this since December of 1986!I was 9 Yrs old and my best friend/ roommate Susan?I think that was her name? Introduced me to this song I LOVE LOVE this song I listened to it over and over and drove my older sister lisa nuts Susan? Made me a tape of this song called a "trip to the fair" so I didn't know the name of the band who did this song I only knew the song title and I finally found it 😍💜👍🏻I just wish I could Also find my friend who introduced me to this song I miss her she was like a real older sister to me she was good to me I miss her friendship
when this album first came out I was fascinated by the music, it was eerie and haunting in places. This band was truly ahead of its time and was not really given the notice they should have had
I was heavily into their first 3 albums when this was released, close friends and i proudly piled it on top of everything else we were listening to at the time...Genesis, Yes, Crimson, Nektar, Focus, E. L. P., The Strawbs, The Moody Blues,Pink Floyd, Santana...to name a few. To those of you whose parents turned you on to it all....lucky, lucky you!!.....peace
@hubiex 11 years ago you put this beautiful posting,and just now I received it on my cellphone.that's a hell of a timetravil.space and time my friend .......space and time...I wish you well.
That beginning can not be matched by any other group (a few exceptions) in how amazing it is...listening to this song is like being in a state of euphoria, and Annie Haslam is the best female vocalist in all of rock music.
Some of the most beautiful bass-playing I have ever heard is on this album. It's right up front. You could call it "lead bass" in similar fashion to "lead guitar". This song, in particular is a story in itself and the music plays such a big part in telling the story, especially when the thousands of faces appear. The jazz celesta solo is so unique as well. Annie's voice is so very beautiful as well as the beautiful harmony singing. A true classic.
@@popgrubbsChris Squire is not in this band, I believe he's in a band named Yes.The incredibly talented Jon Camp was the bass player in this band Renaissance who in my opinion makes Yes look like pikers.
@@williamhiggins842 I probably didn't include enough info in my post. I was mentioning to the OP that Chris Squire was a bass player who plays lead in a band. Yes is my favorite band of all time, I'm very familiar with their work. Though I did get to see them several times, I did get to see Yes in one of Chris' last concerts before he passed away. It was a sad day to be a Yes fan in that it was an outdoor concert and it was 95 degrees out and Chris was visibly affected by the heat and was often bending over trying to catch his breath. Steve Howe simply could not keep up with he rest of the band and their sound was dramatically affected by it. Honestly, it was hard to watch as a big Yes fan.
I CAME ACROSS THIS GREAT WORK, BY NETWORKING, BY MYSELF, WITHOUT THE BBC, BY PEN-PAL, PRE-INTERNET, 30 YEARS BEFORE INTERNET, NOW THE INTERNET IS HERE, I WANT TO SEND OUT, THIS GREAT SONG, TO THE, WORLD WIDE WEB, AND BEYOND.
This is so great to be able to listen to this again. I started listening when I was 10 years old back in the early seventies. My older brother let me listen to his records and use his stereo back then. The minute I heard Annie and Renaissance I fell in love. The greatest female singer ever and my favorite for all time. And even now she can still do it. There are some videos of Annie and Renaissance from 2010 and she still sounds like an angel. Check it out.
I LOVE this track from this album. I first heard this tape when me, my father, and my sister were cleaning out the basement, and my dad found a bunch of tapes that he had for a long time, and he discovered this tape! I listened to the tape, and realized that this song, and it instantly became a favorite of mine for ages. Recently a friend and I were doing some cleaning, and I found the tape. Thank God I have two stereos that still play audio cassettes. So I listened to this song on the cassette...and I teared up with tears of nostalgia. Thanks for posting :-D
This wonderful track was my introduction to Renaissance - many thanks to Ron Manton, who ran the best local record store in western Sydney in the 1970s and knew what I'd probably like - and I did! Reflecting now, I can hear not only the classical influences, but some fantastic folk and jazz stuff going on as well...this one track perhaps distills everything Renaissance did so well. On a recent family holiday, I felt very proud of myself for sitting on an oceanside deck and nutting out the chords on my guitar - even if my 60-something male voice was little match with Annie's glorious tones. Happy times!
@@hazeltwigg4752 He was, and he is! He plays a rather nifty jazz trumpet these days - and I currently teach his 6 year old granddaughter! A rather glorious life circle. I have told her that her grandad ran a wonderful music shop,etc. & hope to see him again in this current context, in order to thank him properly.
@@hazeltwigg4752 He absolutely was.For a little western suburbs boy with a slight sense of who he could have been...Ron provided a wonderful musical palette...which I have happily travelled for nearly half a decade since. I've taught and mentored many young kids and have tutored nieces and nephews: it's that "ripple in a pool" thing, and all it needs is one influential (and kind) adult..that's ALL it needs. It takes a village...and some &%!! great music!
discovered and became obsessed with Annie's voice early 1970s as a NZ radio dj - played their songs often - way out there but under-rated ... what bliss to see Renaissance perform in South Kensington around 1974
I have loved this song ever since i first heard it back in 1975. Renaissance had a great unique sound, which made them special. This song has a very dreaming relaxing atmosphere. EXCELLENT !
Hands down, an excellent "test" recording for loudspeakers. It's got every-freakin'-thing to show a speakers virtues... and also its faults. On a quality audio system, WOW.
I haven't heard this song since I was little. Randomly remembered the lyrics when I woke up before class today and had to look for it before leaving. thx for the upload :D
Earlier this year I saw Renaissance live at the Keswick theater in PA and they played this song. I had forgotten all about it and further more had forgotten exactly how good it was...and they did an excellent version with an orchestra. Annie actually lives near me in Bucks County (Annie still hoping to bump into you in the Starbucks or WaWa. :)
Luckily Renaissance music survives. My brother and I had all their albums. We played them constantly, along with ELP, Joni, Floyd, Leon Russell. Back in our college radio days we ruled the airways together. He sold all the LPs when he fell on hard times. I’m glad digital music captured all these greats from my past. The people I knew have left my life but the music survives.
It must have been a very sad day for your Brother indeed to sell off a very much listened to record collection. I, as a teen in the '70s, grew up in a Family of 10, so whatever jobs that I had my pay went to my Mother for the essentials when I really wanted was a decent stereo and albums. Now at 66, I have my vintage system and nearly a collection of nearly 580 albums.
So evidently, Annie was having dinner with Roy Wood one Saturday evening at the dorchester in park lane, and when they had finished they took a “trip to the fair” up in primrose hill, but it was closed :-) and so a beautiful song was born… :-)
Wow! And that is about all that can be said. And a shameless plug for me, on the bio site for my band Sin-Echo, you just might notice a familiar name as an influence for the bass player, and my apologies for not being able to remember if if were John or Jon. But dear Lord,Annie Haslam, what a voice!!! And thanks to the person who has compiled this magnificent music.
Incredible, electrical, intense, exciting. This is a real musical experience in all for all. Why can't musicians aspire to be like them? This blows my collection away. I thought I knew great music till now. It's like a brilliant broudway show for my ears and mind. Thank you so much for posting this.
LilHaseProductions There is a motif in the beginning of the song that sounds really similar the DSCH motif that Shostakovich used in a lot of his works.
This album is so beautiful. Annie Haslam is just an absolutely amazing vocalist. You are right flash - how can people ignore this wonderful song? Thanks for posting this.
I also love the calliope-styled organ playing in contrast to the dreamy celesta that sets the scene. Not to mention the incredible piano introduction. Just beautiful.
THANKYOU for posting this song...one of their best!! I wish more people knew of this group...THE BEST BAND EVER. I've seen them twice...sound as good live as in studio...the only band that can make that claim! AWESOME!!!
Nothing is perfect ..but Deep Tracks on XM radio is pretty Dang good ....they played this the other day....doubtful there will ever be another period of Music like the 60-70s
Yes, I heard this song on Deep Tracks too, I had totally forgotten about it. Used to hear it on KTCL in Ft. Collins, Colorado back in the late 70's. An amazingly beautiful piece of wonderful music, from an era long gone now....
Impeccable. Definitely Renaissance at their best. I was instantly mesmerized when I listened to this epic tune for the first time more than thirty years ago. I still love it. There's nothing to compare with Annie's angelic voice. Is this prog rock? There's no categorizing this band. It's Renaissance and nothing else.
I MUST ADMIT, A TRIP TO THE FAIR, BY RENAISSANCE, DOES IT REALLY GOOD FOR ME, AND HAS DONE, SINCE DISCOVERING THIS GREAT SOUND, ABOUT, 30 YEARS AGO, HAVE HEARD GREAT SOUNDS SINCE, EVEN TO THIS DAY, BUT THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL WITH THIS SONG.
Annie has recounted that the inspiration for this song came from a big night out with her then-squeeze Roy Wood - he of The Move - that they belatedly decided to go down to the pier, but that the fair had indeed shut down for the night! "But nobody was there!"
So thankful that we have Renaissance and Annie Haslam among many others from their era (1960s-1970s) to demonstrate what true musical virtuosity is. They weren't concerned with selling gazillions of singles back then, simply with musicality and creativity. New music one hears now is often made by dozens of machines or so derivative of a derivative (the fake Nashville stuff played endlessly on Philly's WXPN because they can't find anything to replace it...)
Wow. My Dad used to listen to this when I was small. I'm 30 now, and still thank him for playing me music from before I was born. Not many people could write music like this now.
This is a great song one of gavs they recorded! I am a die hard piano fan! Annie Haslam rules in the vocal department! And what a great band to back her up!
Any one remember a song,, from Annie Share Some Love? It was at the end if one of the albums, don’t remember. Beautiful Song. 1969-1973. Around thanks all 🌼
Renaissance stayed at the Ramada Inn in Clifton, New Jersey during a summer in the mid 70's. They were rehearsnig at the famous Capitol Theatre in Passaic for an upcoming tour. John Tout hung out with me at the pool many a day.
This album introduced me to this group. I had been purchasing progressive rock albums from Camel and others. College radio introduced me to early Genesis. I worked on air for 5 years and you tow the line or find other employment. Record companies do tell you who to play and what day to start playing it. Ignore it and watch your promos tumble and music sources dry up!
I resently saw in B&N they list Renaissance as Art Rock. I think that is the best name for their style of music. Progressive is not even close to what they did. Fantastic piece!

Man I just heard this song for the first time on the radio garden app on an Irish classic rock station how have I never heard this incredible song before I am 61 years old here in California now I will have to check out their entire catalog
i wish i was you, you have a lot to enjoy man
You won't be disappointed.
An under appreciated group and Halsam's voice is angelic.
WOW I haven't heard this since December of 1986!I was 9
Yrs old and my best friend/ roommate Susan?I think that was her name? Introduced me to this song I LOVE LOVE this song I listened to it over and over and drove my older sister lisa nuts Susan? Made me a tape of this song called a "trip to the fair" so I didn't know the name of the band who did this song I only knew the song title and I finally found it 😍💜👍🏻I just wish I could Also find my friend who introduced me to this song I miss her she was like a real older sister to me she was good to me I miss her friendship
Oh, ya. I've melted to her voice since the late 70s. Although Moira Brennan come close sometimes, and Floor of Nightwish can almost get me there.
In this period of stress caused by COVID and war, it's very relaxing to take a trip to the fair.
when this album first came out I was fascinated by the music, it was eerie and haunting in places. This band was truly ahead of its time and was not really given the notice they should have had

Better late than never I guess, thanks for the nice reply
Great music, wonderful song, Annie Haslam's voice is everything..........haunting, angelic, this has always been a favorite of mine
this is why we need to same public radio. I am 25 years old and just heard this song for the first time on the radio. pretty sweet
That beginning can not be matched by any other group (a few exceptions) in how amazing it is...listening to this song is like being in a state of euphoria, and Annie Haslam is the best female vocalist in all of rock music.
Yet another masterpiece by Renaissance,, one of my best bands of ALL TIME! I am so pleased I grew up with this great music!
+Robin Scouse My son will also grow up with it, in another time :) No Miley Cyrus in this house! XD
Me too Robin. I loved prog rock. Genesis, Yes, Strawbs, ELP, Camel, Moody Blues and this wonderful band, just to name a few from back then.
A band that created a parallel world of prog-style beauty.

Chris Squire was a master at the lead bass.
I absolutely love the jazz section ❤

Heard this as a teen on KPRI san diego, imagine a rock station trying to play this type of music now!
We had WKTK in Baltimore. Played whole albums and all the Prog rock.
This song meant so much to me , thank you.
didn't hear this song for over 30 years. Still great. love it. Thx 4 sharing

This song is just like a clown. Cheerful and creepy all at the same time.
That music box..... gets me in tears every time..
The intro is so scary and the verse so lovely. They go from one feeling to another perfectly

I was a child when I fell in love with this song, and in general with their live cd.
The Renaissance will always be in my heart.
wow! this brings memory of the 70's when i first heard this song on WNEW FM Rock. no other pop music station would play this type of songs.
Another great U.K. band was Emerson, Lake & Palmer. But Renaissance is tops!
Renaissance for the eternity. Great 70's, the most beautiful years. Vive le rock progressif!
A friend played this for me in the mid seventies.....so impressed!

And if anyone was wondering.
Thats John Tout on keyboards and the vocalist is Annie Haslam.
i was so lucky to have seen these guys in concert...!
always one of my favorite groups...sigh...
They played ahead of Rick Wakeman at Winterland in SF....what a great concert!
Earlier this year I saw Renaissance live at the Keswick theater in PA and they played this song. I had forgotten all about it and further more had forgotten exactly how good it was...and they did an excellent version with an orchestra. Annie actually lives near me in Bucks County (Annie still hoping to bump into you in the Starbucks or WaWa. :)
Great song.
I love this band. Growing up between rock and punk...this band gave me dimension.
Yes the piano on this piece is truly wonderful.
Oh Annie, still melts my heart 40+ years on. Great song, thanks for posting.
This is the cut that introduced me to a wonderful experience with all of their artistry. Oh what a weave of delightfully entrancing music.
great song,excellent group
Renaissance did some semi-Classical music pieces. They were truly TOPS!!
Luckily Renaissance music survives. My brother and I had all their albums. We played them constantly, along with ELP, Joni, Floyd, Leon Russell.

E' tra i brani che più amo di tutta la loro produzione. Stupendo!
I've enjoyed Annie Haslam and Renaissance almost daily since 1971. Annie still sounds great in 2010.
those intro chords are so big that he's probably a russian spy
(get it, because mainly only russian composers did chords that monstrous)
LilHaseProductions There is a motif in the beginning of the song that sounds really similar the DSCH motif that Shostakovich used in a lot of his works.
Absolut super song und beschreibt es als wäre man dabei 🎉❤💕👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌👉💨💨💨🥃🏴
This album is so beautiful. Annie Haslam is just an absolutely amazing vocalist. You are right flash - how can people ignore this wonderful song? Thanks for posting this.
Thanks for posting. Always loved this one.
good music is meant to be shared.
By far the best album by a criminally underrated band. Annie is my favourite female singer of all time.
I love this song so much. Thanks Anne to exist.
6:42 magical
I also love the calliope-styled organ playing in contrast to the dreamy celesta that sets the scene. Not to mention the incredible piano introduction. Just beautiful.
Wunderschöner Song. Ich habe das Album Sheherazade, doch nur als LP. bin froh hier so viele Songs wieder zu finden.
Gruß Rosi
THANKYOU for posting this song...one of their best!! I wish more people knew of this group...THE BEST BAND EVER. I've seen them twice...sound as good live as in studio...the only band that can make that claim! AWESOME!!!
...another U.K. band compares a bit like Renaissance: Emmerso , Lake & Palmer.. ?
Nothing is perfect ..but Deep Tracks on XM radio is pretty Dang good ....they played this the other day....doubtful there will ever be another period of Music like the 60-70s
Yes, I heard this song on Deep Tracks too, I had totally forgotten about it. Used to hear it on KTCL in Ft. Collins, Colorado back in the late 70's. An amazingly beautiful piece of wonderful music, from an era long gone now....
A question that I'm not really expecting an answer to anyway but here goes: Can XM Radio be played through a vintage receiver? Asking for a friend.
I always loved this song!
Impeccable. Definitely Renaissance at their best. I was instantly mesmerized when I listened to this epic tune for the first time more than thirty years ago. I still love it. There's nothing to compare with Annie's angelic voice. Is this prog rock? There's no categorizing this band. It's Renaissance and nothing else.
An old favorite of mine - along with the music of Steeleye Span and Pentangle. Thanks for the posting. It really takes me back! :)
I MUST ADMIT, A TRIP TO THE FAIR, BY RENAISSANCE, DOES IT REALLY GOOD FOR ME, AND HAS DONE, SINCE DISCOVERING THIS GREAT SOUND, ABOUT, 30 YEARS AGO, HAVE HEARD GREAT SOUNDS SINCE, EVEN TO THIS DAY, BUT THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL WITH THIS SONG.
I AGREE WITH THIS POINT OF VIEW
Annie has recounted that the inspiration for this song came from a big night out with her then-squeeze Roy Wood - he of The Move - that they belatedly decided to go down to the pier, but that the fair had indeed shut down for the night! "But nobody was there!"
Yes there is. I had the pleasure of working for them for several years (sound) This was my favorite!
I love this song....
Besides everything else, what a great drummer!
love this,came accross it when travelling in france. kept me going many a night.beautiful voice
I love the music of Renaissance! It's somehow classic, awesome!
The superb voice of Annie's. Reminds me of the singing of MELANIE Safra.
John Tout was a master of the keys, especially on this album. He and Annie were a perfect match in those days!
peace

Avec la belle voix d'Annie Haslam!!
MAGICAL.
Brilliant bassline
Wow. My Dad used to listen to this when I was small. I'm 30 now, and still thank him for playing me music from before I was born. Not many people could write music like this now.

Was waiting for a while for this to be on youtube :O. Thank you so much!
Any one remember a song,, from Annie Share Some Love? It was at the end if one of the albums, don’t remember. Beautiful Song. 1969-1973. Around thanks all 🌼
Share some love was from the album prologue.
Title is “Spare Some Love”
Wunderful voice. My favourites, though, are the burning ashes and "can you hear me" and carpet of the sun..
Renaissance stayed at the Ramada Inn in Clifton, New Jersey during a summer in the mid 70's. They were rehearsnig at the famous Capitol Theatre in Passaic for an upcoming tour. John Tout hung out with me at the pool many a day.
Personally I think it's beautiful.
wicked tune so bloody good ,thanks for the upload
This album introduced me to this group. I had been purchasing progressive rock albums from Camel and others. College radio introduced me to early Genesis. I worked on air for 5 years and you tow the line or find other employment. Record companies do tell you who to play and what day to start playing it.

Absolutely amazing!!
Questo brano mi fa andare fuori di testa ❤❤❤
Annie was surely the finest female voice of her generation but I also love the keyboard work of the late John Tout on this great piece.
Magic, fairy and suggestive!
Love the ahhhhhs that come in at around 1:37....what a great build that keeps on going!
I have been listening to this song since the seventies...it's still fresh.
This is quite amazing!
