Aside from being a fine act on record, Renaissance were also a marvellous live band, featuring the sublime vocals of singer Annie Haslam.
Although Esoteric’s expanded Renaissance re-issues featured BBC recordings, this set comprises material previously omitted from these releases. ‘Can You Hear Me: Broadcasts 1974-1978’ includes the stereo radio version of the band’s 1977 BBC Sight & Sound In Concert performance (recently discovered in the archives and issued on CD for the first time) and a previously unreleased performance for BBC Radio’s In Concert from October 1978, both newly remastered from the BBC masters. Also included is a region free video Blu Ray disc which features the band’s appearance on the Swiss TV show Kaleidospop from 1974 (previously unreleased), the complete 1977 BBC TV Sight & Sound In Concert performance & a performance of Northern Lights from BBC TV’s Top of the Pops show.
‘Can You Hear Me: Broadcasts 1974-1978’ is a collection of wonderful live performances by Renaissance and is an essential addition to their fine body of work.
