Renaissance

In 1977, Renaissance was riding high on the success of their album 'Novella,' which had been released just a year prior. By the time of their legendary live performance at London's Royal Albert Hall on October 14, 1977, the band was fully embracing their orchestral rock sound, blending intricate melodies with powerful lyrics. This concert is a treasured moment in their career, showcasing tracks like 'Carpet of the Sun' and 'Song of Scheherazade' that highlight their signature style. Interestingly, this performance was part of a radio broadcast for the popular show 'King Biscuit Flower Hour,' which helped spread their unique sound to a wider audience. It's a great reminder of how live recordings can transport listeners back to moments when music truly connected.
