Annie Haslam - Voice of an Angel

[arthurphrain]

Wonderful!

[MrEBL100]

I saw Renaissance at the Royal Albert Hall with the London Philharmonic in Oct 1977 (when I was an American transfer college student)...it was a great concert...have been a fan ever since.

It's been a while since i looked for any Renaissance on YT. Great to see some high quality clips. thanks for posting. This is one of my favorites of theirs. The "I call your name" section always gives me shivers. Too bad they didn't do "Black Flame" on this show. or did they?

[samissomar]

Genuine Renaissance...Wonderful Pure Voice,a Classic...

[mikey1829]

WOW !!! WISH,only WISH this whole show was on DVD- Thanks so much !!

[rematpac]

This is the video I was talking about Jeanie.

[lizzabbott]

Stunning! Entrancing! Flawless! LOVE! Wow I am enjoying this. Haven't heard Renaissance in ages, but used to have their music on vinyl & have heard them Live several x's. GORGEOUS. Nice to take a 'lil breather and revisit this. Sure brings back memories, and just a re-injection of an Energy that is Good Medicine right now! I used to play this song on guitar, and some of their other songs on piano.....and sing too. Annie, as well as Shawn Phillips, were my "vocal teachers" when I was a teen.

[rerenaissance]

That voice. She doesn't drop a syllable - even on the LA LAs! JC's sonorous bass, and Mr Tout failing to avoid the cameras. Fantastic.

[rejtmand]

GRANDE ANNIE !!!

[adkpeakboy]

From the first time I opened my LP of Novella and heard this track, I was hooked. Still today, the sound from this vinyl album is amazing and one I've treasured since. This live version is just as amazing. Thx for posting!

[rematpac]

Best song.

[rematpac]

One of their best!The only band that lets the bassist do the solo work!

[georgeglen]

Absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much. :o)

I can still remember my excitment when this was broadcast. I was 16 and had just discovered this amazing band (OGWT May 76) ... then they were on the Telly again … AND simulcast on the radio in stereo. I rigged up the old hi-fi in the living room and it all looked and sounded superb. Can’t believe it’s taken so long to get on YouTube … but you’ve made my day. Thanks again !

[cumpadizum]

what a voice..........

[Emi212]

I first heard part of this song sampled in "We Ain't Fessin'" by Deep Puddle Dynamics. I thought the way they used it was so pretty and matched their song perfectly. Now I've heard the full song and I think it's just as beautiful.

[YOU2UUB]

Novella album by Renaissance is still my favorite of all time New Age Music. They were way ahead of their time. Their music is like no other group ever. They are one of a kind. They are the Pioneers of New Age Music. They put me in a state of isolated limbo. Annie came from above with her wings on to sing with her angelic voice.

[BobHunter1977]

I know, I know, the original band with this name broke up after one album. It's interesting these five folks got together and kept the name. BUT: it is these five who made the name and wrote and performed all the great songs. I love Annie and Michael, but without Jon Camp, Terry Sullivan and John Tout they are not Renaissance - and they aren't! They call themselves "Renaissance 2009", so that's fair enough.

[rematpac]

Found it! The full 13 and a half minute version of this prog masterpiece.Though some parts sound a little sparse without the orchestral part that goes with it,I'm not complaining.Later on when the band had to perform this song without an orchestra,they figured out how to cover almost every orchestral part by using synthesizers.

[BobHunter1977]

well, Annie and Michael are together, but not with Terry, John and Jon, so it's not really Renaissance. To be fair, Annie and Michael did ask the other three about getting back together and were turned down, so they went about gathering some new musicians for the tour. It's an age-old question, isn't it? But Jon Camp's bass playing was a HUGE part of their sound. His vocals were great too. To me you've got to have the people who made the name of a band, or call it something else.

[BobHunter1977]

really a fantastic band playing beautiful music. I will buy this whenever it is released on DVD!!! I wish this group would get back together - Jon Camp is just an amazing presence, bass and vocals. And John Tout is such a huge talent on keyboards! And Terry Sullivan plays the drums so perfectly for this unigue kind of music...what a band, what a band!

[mkdios122]

Annie is the best!

[EastCoastDude]

Wow wow wow. Thank you for posting. Reminds me of why I and many others in the New York/New Jersey area were in love with Annie Haslam. Annie looks great and sounds great! 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!

[CrimsonKing589051]

Awesome dynamics here from the Queen of voice. Some sorta falsetto for "I call your name" and then a very thick and rich tone for the main verse...and it's live too!

[FAUSTORICCARDO]

Really beautiful

[daveking8]

Fabulous !!! I have been waiting for years to see this concert. I watched the original on BBC2 and recorded the audio onto a cassette tape. I don't think there were video recorders in 1977. I have always been a fan and always will be, if the reformed line up would tour in the UK it would be great ! Do you have any more of the concert ? A thousand thanx for posting the songs 8-) 8-) 8-)

[grahamneel]

Thank you so much for posting this and all the other songs from this amazing concert. You have made a lot of people very happy. Lets hope that Voiceprint are able to secure a DVD release at some point. Thanks again x

[marceloroy]
