It’s Renaissance, enough said! Always brilliant! Wished they could have played another hour or two!
Annie was as amazing as ever and so was the band. I was a little disappointed that some of the songs from the early days of the band weren't included in the set list. Still, the concert was terrific!
Excellent sound and performance by band and orchestra... annie is still amazing and kept her voice! Daring set list, would have liked to hear some different material, but everything they do is quality
The band was tight - plus a 10 piece orchestra. Each song was designed to have impact and it did. Highly recommend it.
Renaissance was Outstanding as Always, and the Band and Orchestra was Fantastic !!!!! Annie Voice was Sound of Angel's !!!!!!
Loved seeing Renaissance at their peak back in the mid-late ‘70s. This time around…not so much. The band (including the small orchestra) sounded good. Annie’s voice is still strong. But the set list was the big disappointment. Only knew the first and last songs. PLAY MORE OF THE “HITS”.
Armed with great band and talented 10 piece orchestra, Annie chose to perform the most sedate material in the Renaissance catalog. The only 2 songs that seemed to have concert energy were Day of the Dreamer, Carpet of the Sun and some of Black Flame. Also an abundance of non Renaissance songs were boring and needless. That catalog has plenty of energy to choose from. Renaissance was a great band with a great singer. Showcasing that material should be something to look forward to.
Fantastic show, Annie can still hit the high notes, and the band and orchestra were tight. Tempos were vigorous, loved the horns. Arrangements were quite compelling, great to hear long-lost favorites like The Sisters & Captive Heart from Novella! Thank you for this spiritually-uplifting evening!
This is either my 3rd or 4th Renaissance concert. Annie's voice is still pretty good and the band with the 10 piece orchestra was great. My disappointment was in the song selections. This is the first time they did not play Mother Russia. I am guessing because of the conflict in Ukraine. They played a lot of Annie's solo material as well as late Renaissance material which I don't care for. My love for Renaissance is the first 4 albums with Annie and selected cuts from the next 3 albums. Anything after the 1970's albums were not that good. This maybe the last time I plan to see Renaissance unless they specifically advertise that they will play a lot of the early stuff.
Great show. Music is just beautiful. I felt a little slighted since they only did 2 songs from Renaissance, most from her solo career.
