Glad that as a metalhead a lot of my favorite artists grew up with this music and they speak of it very fondly in interviews and such. Discovered Song for all Seasons throu Mikael from Opeth two years ago, and have since then destroyed the entire Renaissance discography. We can't let this music fade away.

I'm in the process of destroying it rn. Not gonna lie I'm surprised I didn't read that same interview cos I'm wishing I had. Opeth got me into prog rock as well. Almost done with Song for All Seasons and it's definitely my fave of the albums so far.

Fantastic to see the guys as well-- John Tout was a brilliant keyboardist and Terry Sullivan was so tasteful on drums. Michael Dunford wrote so many creative, original songs, and Jon Camp added a lot to the signature sound on bass. So nice to see and hear, and of course the forever beautiful Annie. Thanks again!

Amazing what three men can produce. A cake with icing -- the icing being Annie's voice of course. When I listened to this in the 70's I thought I was hearing many instruments on many different tracks. It seemed impossible to me that anyone could produce "progressive rock" like this in a live performance. Unless, of course, they had a few dozen musicians backing them up. It wasn't until just be for the 11:00 minute mark that I finally saw what the drummer was sneaking off to do. I just could not figure out where that sound was coming from. Thanks for sharing! - Reg.

It said the band (mainly Dunfurd, the guitarist) would make a recording of the music and mail it to this woman Thatcher (forgot her first name-she was not a member of the band) and she would write the lyrics and mail them back to the band. Bought "Novella" in the summer of '77 when I was 17 and fell in love.

But each of them, separately, were masters at their respective crafts.
