Renaissance's amazing double LP set recorded live over 3 nights at New York's Carnegie Hall is clearly an album you just gotta hear.
This live album followed 1975's stunning "Scheherazade and Other Stories" and was a wonderfully well recorded collection of some of the most memorable songs from their earlier albums.
Fittingly the album opens with Prologue from their first Haslam vocal album which is a landmark live cut for Renaissance fans.
The second record is really just 2 side long epic tracks capturing "Scheherzade" and "Ashes are burning" in its entirity and in the most natural live setting.
Annie Haslam had the voice of an angel and never was it ever so captivating as captured here with the live orchestra. Renaissance were an amazingly talented band and the Carnegie Hall shows gives us a nice live glimpse into this deep seeded talent.
