From 8:46 to 9:50 in the video clip is quite the climax when you add a full orchestra, heavy bass with percussive background. This has been one of my most favorite missed classical rock groups from the 70's. Annie has quite the voice to back it all up also. Superb. . . voice.
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.
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....
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!!!
Thanks for the refreshing music from dear Annie and Renaissance.
