Renaissance - Ashes Are Burning - Live 1976 (with Remastered Audio)

Who's bright idea was it to just show that damn disco ball for 7 minutes instead of the band? Pfffft.

First saw them at Liverpool Uni in 1976. Had never heard of them but was spellbound. This was their final song….it was incredible. Annie has the voice of an angel. 😊😊😊😊

Jon Camp channeling Chris Squire on that Rickenbacker

Finding out about this band in my teens (the 80s) was like digging gold. What a wonderful ensamble! The songs were full of substance and beauty. Heard their albums repeatadly, especially the live performance. Didn't have the chance to see them live, until too late. Thanks ever so much for this upload.

I agree with all the superlatives others have placed here. Someday (not soon I hope, I am roughly her age and my family live long lives, so environment destruction by uncaring megacorps will probably take me before old age does and I want to hear that wonderful lady sing live a few more times before I move on) she will take her place among the souls of all of the departed dramatic coloraturas as a principal vocalist in the Heavenly Choir! No improvement whatsoever needed!

Not one second of this version that is not outstanding !

Chris Squire must surely have been a big fan of Jon Camp, n'est-ce pas? For an understandable reason I should say. And of course we all know full well who Jon's major inspiration was...😉

From my home town. Bolton

Annie shines. The gentle jams are immersive.

Maravillosa composición, de esas que ya no se hacen. Gracias por compartir.

Progressive Rock at its finest!

i cant find the words to describe this angel voice. best voice in the music history

이곡을 좋아했었다, 젠장 이제야 오디오로만 듣던 그들의 실체를 본다. 갑자기 예전에 듣던 노래들이 생각날때가 있다.

Whenever I am asked if I believe in heaven, I say yes, I have heard Annie sing.

Brill!

Just a MASTERPIECE 😅😊

They truly were a live-band.

alladin hotel, las vegas with YES

I saw them 2 times millersville college pa, and dickinson collega pa 1978

Simply outstanding ! So glad I got to see them back in the 70's. He and Chris Squire got me hooked on RIC basses. Still going strong. Thank you for posting this gem ! ! !

Please don't forget and make a note:
Next year in June 2025 it will be 50 years since Renaissance had their epic performances at Carnegie Hall/New York.

Thank you! - Simply wonderful!

That VOICE! The guys were exceptional musicians, but that VOICE!

Such an amazing performance by the entire band. Annie’s voice and Jon’s bass were sublime. I feel the only thing that spoiled the video is the psychedelic obsession with the camera on that glitter ball. (This seemed to be the norm at that time) ELP, Pictures At An exhibition suffered the same fate I would much rather seen the band play.

Saw them 5 or 6 times around this time, every time they came through central Indiana. To this day, they remain at the top of my favorite list concerts. Exceptional musicians, wonderful voices and harmonies, and wonderful performances every time. Thanks, BrunoSamppa, for posting this video, and especially for the quality of the audio.

Oi meu nome é Pablo tenho 9 amos

I have been listening to scheherazade lately so glad to have come across this
Peace ☮️ n Serenity n Harmony

❤ супер!

So the cameraman had the choice of filming: A) Annie, a rock goddess at the height of her powers looking her most beautiful and sounding like an Angel from heaven or
B) a mirror ball.
And he chose the mirror ball FFS! There is so little footage of Annie in her glory days that this is almost a crime against humanity.
The music is glorious as always from my favorite ever band.

The 70’s….A great time to be alive if you were a music fan!

O baixo do Jon Camp só falta falar! Saudações do Estado do ES , Brasil

Thank you for the music, Jon. Love and God bless.

RIP Jon Camp, bassist extraordinaire.

Some of younger guys in their 40s and 50s listening get lost in older bands. They taste a melody smooth, starving CRAVING melodie’s. Hard up for real music, imperfections. Accepting embarrassing band pictures. Photo freezes like tv show ‘Chips’ ridicules. Or pics of Frank Zappa and Todd rundgren. James Tayler Looked at you like ‘Felt sorry for you’. LMAO!

I saw Renaissance on the same tour they played Carnegie Hall. In Denver they didn't have great presence at this time so they performed at Ebett's Field, a tiny 300 seat venue in the basement of a downtown hotel. I sat about 10 feet from the stage and watched Jon's bass solo in absolute awe. Still seared in my memory.
Their next tour stop in Denver was at Red Rocks - simply magnificent!
Jon, thanks for the music.

I learned about Renaissance from a college roommate back in 1977. He had some of their albums and I was so grateful since their music was so fantastic. I got to see them in Minneapolis in 1978 or 79. The concert was pretty good...but Annie was drunk or high and just wasn't at her best (especially when she spoke). I still love listening to their music after all these years.

Annie's always had such great vocal range. Lovely!

Most underrated prog band in history

Excellent

This band will live on forever. Though most of them are gone, and the remaining ones' music careers are over, they leave behind a legacy no one can ever take away.
I love you all so much

RIP Michael Dunford
RIP Betty Thatcher
RIP John Tout
RIP Jon Camp

What’s pretty amazing is I grew up with this music all around me…and missed so much of it.

Mainly because the mainstream was taking the limelight away from some amazing talent back in the day.

Like I loved the 60s 70s and 80s and there were some things to appreciate about the 90s certainly with grunge and bands like Tool, but the early days of rock….wow they certainly were groundbreakers.

They had the traditional/classical teachings of music…and elevated everything I must believe with the psychedelics they took back then.

Music was more cutting edge…there just isn’t many out there today that will try to do such amazingly unique styles like they experimented with in music back then.

I’m not talking noise either…I’m talking talented musicians ready to make music something unique and extraordinary.

Kids today, are simply less…artistic.

R.I.P Jon Camp.

Where are the guitars solo from Andy Powell, Wishbone Ash? Ashes are burning missed them!!!

I know that, Rodglen8435. My post was meant ironically.😂

Uma das maiores bandas de todos os tempos, Annie Haslam, uma das vozes femininas mais lindas do mundo .

Jon Camp, além de excelente baixista, era muito bom cantor também!

Renaissance created alot of beautiful music
This is one of their best

SCREW Taylor Swift 😅😊
