Please don't forget and make a note: Next year in June 2025 it will be 50 years since Renaissance had their epic performances at Carnegie Hall/New York.
Yes, and I was there. What a time it was. I get chills thinking about it. Many of their concerts had the opening act Al Stewart (Year of the Cat, Time Passages, etc). Renaissance was a magical group. I am so lucky to know this music and so many other great groups. What a time it was-
This is the best version I've heard aside from the one recorded for the live album at Carnegie Hall. Definitely a band that deserves to be included at the very top of '70s prog along with Yes and ELP.
The Carnegie Hall version is so much better. This version devolves into too much self-indulgent "let's see how many weird sounds I can make". The Carnegie Hall album caught just the right mix of solos while keeping the whole number on track and building to the finish in a more cohesive way.
It's weird how this video has been up for 18 months, only has 700 views and 4 comments right now and here I am one hour after you commented this. RIP Michael Dunford indeed.
Simply outstanding ! So glad I got to see them back in the 70's. He and Chris Squire got me hooked on RIC basses. Still going strong. Thank you for posting this gem ! ! !
So true! I don't know why people don't talk more about how great the bass is in this group (or maybe I am just a bit of a loner and don't know anyone who loves Renaissance as much as I do to talk about it)
@@RabbiJonathanKlein We are a rare breed mate although I suspect there is a legion of hard core fans that ( now older ) are too loaded down with life to focus on the good stuff and times. We soldier on ! Cheers ! ! !
I was a Ric 4001 player because of Chris Squire. Jon Camp never made any bones about the fact that he was a huge Squire fan and went for the same trebly/lead sound. More than a few of us bassists of the era did the same. 😊
John Camp most certainly should have got more recognition. Yes (no pun intended) he was admittedly a big Squire fan. I was to. I had the whole 4001. Roto sound swing 66s and marshal setup. I am in his corner lol. Maybe he wasn’t up to Squires ability technically or was as fast as other prog or Jazz Fusion bass players but he played very tasteful and complementary bass lines and he clearly had a very good concept of musical theory. Him being a guitar player had to help him to. I wish more people would recognize him for the talent he was. 47 years of listening and this is still one of my favorite bands. Still love Annie. ❤
I saw them right around this time at Radio City Music Hall in NYC, a venue built for the best acoustics. OMG, I wept, I soared, I fell in love, I was enraptured, I lived, I died, I was reborn. Nothing like it. I can still close my eyes and hear Annie singing, swaying. This song was their encore closer.
@@ralphstalnecker3469 I heard some rumors way back when but never really knew any details at all about him... whatever it was it's a shame in a way because he was very talented...
@@ogrebattle22763 not really sure, all I know is that Annie will not discuss Jon Camp in any interviews, I am thinking it an ego issue, but don't quote me..
Saw them 5 or 6 times around this time, every time they came through central Indiana. To this day, they remain at the top of my favorite list concerts. Exceptional musicians, wonderful voices and harmonies, and wonderful performances every time. Thanks, BrunoSamppa, for posting this video, and especially for the quality of the audio.
First saw them at Liverpool Uni in 1976. Had never heard of them but was spellbound. This was their final song….it was incredible. Annie has the voice of an angel. 😊😊😊😊
Finding out about this band in my teens (the 80s) was like digging gold. What a wonderful ensamble! The songs were full of substance and beauty. Heard their albums repeatadly, especially the live performance. Didn't have the chance to see them live, until too late. Thanks ever so much for this upload.
I had only listened to the studio albums at this point. What a magnificent thirty minute live performance. Especially the synergy with the Jon Camp and John Tout during the piano/bass solo. That was fantastic.
@@NoahtheEpicGuy Yes. ELP took their recordings to another level live. Although I did see that Keith Emerson bemoaned the fact that some tracks were impossible to recreate on stage in the 1970s due to technical constraints.
What a magnificent performance.As a long time Renaissance fan I keep tuning back to this version.The improvisation between Tout and Camp is something to behold.Lets not forget Annie who with her alluring gowns,looks and of course voice commands the spotlight.The only thing they did wrong was they didn't put out enough music with this lineup.
I agree with all the superlatives others have placed here. Someday (not soon I hope, I am roughly her age and my family live long lives, so environment destruction by uncaring megacorps will probably take me before old age does and I want to hear that wonderful lady sing live a few more times before I move on) she will take her place among the souls of all of the departed dramatic coloraturas as a principal vocalist in the Heavenly Choir! No improvement whatsoever needed!
Such an amazing performance by the entire band. Annie’s voice and Jon’s bass were sublime. I feel the only thing that spoiled the video is the psychedelic obsession with the camera on that glitter ball. (This seemed to be the norm at that time) ELP, Pictures At An exhibition suffered the same fate I would much rather seen the band play.
Thanks for posting. They came to Bristol University students union around this time. I remember being very impressed by John Camp's bass solo, as I was learning the bass at the time. John Martyn was the support act, as far as I remember.
Chris Squire must surely have been a big fan of Jon Camp, n'est-ce pas? For an understandable reason I should say. And of course we all know full well who Jon's major inspiration was...😉
Each live version of Ashes are Burning are different in the solos and ending. As a new fan hearing 2 longgg songs on my college radio station then seeing them live on TH-cam I fell in love, Annie was a classic 70's girl, I can remember those years, now she is a classic 2020 women. Notice how the comments are from men, her later concerts were men (up front). The few women I have played her songs for don't like her voice, to high hurts their ears? And I have NOT even played Ashes my fav. longest song
Hi folks! This is not from "Live at Carnegie Hall"? BTW: I didn't know that Michael Dunford has pas sed away!😓 RIP Mick Dunford and Jon Tout! A big loss for music!😢 Arnold Sturm from Romania A big loss for the music!😢

This is the best version I've heard aside from the one recorded for the live album at Carnegie Hall. Definitely a band that deserves to be included at the very top of '70s prog along with Yes and ELP.
You can say that again.
Due to the soli of both Camp and Tout, this version is superior to the even superb Carnegie Hall one, I'd say. Just stunning!
The Carnegie Hall version is so much better. This version devolves into too much self-indulgent "let's see how many weird sounds I can make". The Carnegie Hall album caught just the right mix of solos while keeping the whole number on track and building to the finish in a more cohesive way.
(and I didn't even mention the cameraman's inexplicable self-indulgent hard-on with the disco ball instead of focusing on Annie)
Do we know where it was recorded?
Always amazed at the number of people who respond with who?? when I mention Renaissance. They are INCREDIBLE! Still play them all the time.
R. I. P Michael Dunford you are missed!!
It's weird how this video has been up for 18 months, only has 700 views and 4 comments right now and here I am one hour after you commented this. RIP Michael Dunford indeed.
John Tout as well
A favourite of mine for 50 years…….there is no more underrated band than Renaissance…….
They truly were a live-band.
Annie's voice is so beautiful! That's what heaven sounds like.

@@gregorydodge5925 I had a Hiwatt 100 driving TWO Orange 6x12s. I could match the output of my band's PA!
Whenever I am asked if I believe in heaven, I say yes, I have heard Annie sing.

I completely understand your feelings. Good for you!
I saw them 4 times at Toronto's Massey Hall. Fabulous. Camp remains my all time favourite bass player.

The Best Renaissance Rock Bank Ever Annie makes this Band complete. Thank you Renaissance for the journey!!!!!
What a timeless band. No greater singer. So glad Annie kept the band going in order to make new music.
Still does
What a performance, a music lovers treat.

Well she is still going with her new line up of musicians, but still they call it Renaissance.

Everyone was impressed by Jon Camp's bass solo and Annie's voice. I saw them in Cleveland.
@@alanbruce8632 Jon's voice doesn't impress?
The bass solo by Jon Camp is incredible. Edges out Chris Squire of Yes for the number 1 spot in my book.
Average bass player, doesn't do anything that deserves to be compared to the best.
From my home town. Bolton
Awesome performance, love it!

Not one second of this version that is not outstanding !

hi remastered and colorized is possible?
It's possible, but not for now. 31 min. of video is more than my hardware can support. And to be sincere, i'm very satisfied with the audio restoring and remastering i did and won't want back to redo it.
All the best!
iwanted to say only with the video, audio is top, many thanks! @@brunosamppa
@@schizoidman4646 I got it. Thanks!
@@brunosamppa It should also remain a document of the time, but the acoustic processing is justifiable.
A 30 minute song ?????
Thos were the days! Although this is long, even by standards of other live versions. Usually, it would run 18-23 minutes or so.
That's why the legendary three-day concert in June 1975 at Carnegie Hall in NYC was also released as a live double album.
Oi meu nome é Pablo tenho 9 amos
Who's bright idea was it to just show that damn disco ball for 7 minutes instead of the band? Pfffft.
They used the disco ball for all their live performances of this track.
So many directors insisted on trying to be all artistic and trippy. Worst example is Awaken on Keys to Ascension...unnecessary clips of some idiot on a trapeze during Wakeman's astonishing keyboard section. 😬
Probably changing tapes at the time.
Not much guitar in all this.
No, the classic era of Renaissance with primarily about acoustic guitars supporting, rather than being prominent.
Renaissance used piano/clavinet and bass as it's lead instrument...behind Annie's crystalline 5 octave voice of course
