Renaissance

In March 1971, Renaissance was in a fascinating phase of its evolution, having just released their self-titled album 'Renaissance' in 1970, which marked a significant step in their journey. This live recording from Munich showcases Annie Haslam’s early performances, featuring her powerful vocals that would soon become iconic. Notably, the set includes an early rendition of 'Things I Don't Understand,' intriguingly titled 'Living is Easy' at the time, hinting at the band's creative development. With their blend of progressive rock and classical influences, they were carving a unique niche, and this performance exemplifies their energetic stage presence at a pivotal moment in their career, capturing the essence of a band on the cusp of wider recognition.
