At Royal Albert Hall With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra – Renaissance
Earlier in the project I introduced readers to the artist, Renaissance; Annie Haslam, Michael Dunford et al. Renaissance are one of those prog bands that have undergone many line-up changes and developed themselves into what they are today. Very much like Yes.
This is a live album spread over 2 discs. It was recorded at the Royal Albert Hall. Along with accompaniment from The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Self explanatory really.
This line up has Annie, Michael and Orchestra joined by:
- John Tout – keyboards
- Jon Camp – vocals, bass
- Terence Sullivan – drums, percussion
This is the best introduction to Renaissance as a band. It has all the “Classic” Renaissance favourites. Lots of twiddly and what sounds like a very enthusiastic audience. Again, I’m surprised I never encountered them until 2001. But, as you will read, there are many other albums to come.
Unfortunately I was unable to locate any Youtube footage of the actual Albert Hall concert, so instead, here is a broadcast recorded about the same time.
