The whole album Novella still gives me goosebumps with how beautiful every song is.

Annie Haslam, such an awesome voice. She's in that "voice of an angel" class.

Very Happy to have joined. What a wonderful way to wake up to Renaissance!

The Camp-Sullivan drive team is horribly underrated!

Been in love with Annie for nearly 50 years now....and it gets even stronger watching this performance. And that takes nothing away from the rest of the band, Terry and Jon are really strong here and you can see how much they enjoy playing together.

I love so much how the bass lines is in the 1st plan on Renaissance... I learn to play bass because their music. Long live Renaissance and Jon Camp.

this is decade of touchiness part 3

Simply amazing how freaking GOOD this band was! And how good this video is, especially considering it is over 30 years old. THANK YOU FOR FINDING AND SHARING THIS!!!

Every bit if not better than the studio version. I have loved this band since the day they got FM airplay in the early 70s, making me appreciate madrigals, minor chords and masterful musicianship even more.

I love this song so much

This is just EXCELLENT!

Brings back fond memories. Thanks for sharing this. By the way, the album (CD) that this is from is "Novella." One of their best.

Several Renaissance songs add to "worth living", there is NO MATCH to them. But, of course, one must be perceptive to realize it. Like a seasoned art-man can realize all the beauty and "geniousy" in Monalisa's painting....

I liked seeing Annie take a big breath before that exhilartaing final note!

john tout-he s one phenominel music person

😃ABSOLUTELY BRILLANT, in all respects,all facets (including the deep meaning lyrics). Rare are those who come close

Than you for posting. Great to see Terry Sullivan cutting loose on the drums.

@Drchainsaw77 On this particular song, I do miss the orchestra. They do quite well here but the Royal Albert Hall version with the RPO behind him crushes this. The middle section of that performance also has a fantastic 'duel' between the saxophonist and Annie.

... and right down the street ELP was playing "Pirates" with a full orchestra ... should have gone to the Renaissance show ... they were incomparable!!!

My favorite part of all songs is 1:05 Ooooooo...

7:01 Dana Carvey plays good drums.

9:44 Amazing how Annie holds that high D (I think) for a full 12 seconds or more. Let's see any modern, sleazy songstress pull something like that off nowadays.

Guauuuu

What's really amazing about this band is the way that they can compensate on stage for the lack of ...oh, I dunno ...a full symphony orchestra?!?! Absolutely stunning. BTW -- anyone know what the hell those lyrics (and title, while I'm at it) are supposed to mean? We've had our theories, of course, but....
