      You’re right when you say they don’t do music like this anymore you mean the commercial world. Commercial world is an entertainment field. Do you realize that we have 8 billion people in the world.. of course, people put out quality music that is on a high, artistic level. Of course, people are out there who are extremely gifted just like these people. The commercial world is an entertainment field. It is not a music industry. We were lucky to even have people like this for a little while, they were few and far between most of what they put out it’s just pure entertainment. It wasn’t fair to inspire anyone musically.

      I was born in 1964. My older brother was 6 years older then me. He did the same thing. Including ELP, Pink Floyd and Yes. He got me my first Album and it was Renaissance. Oddly my sister who is 5 years older then me got me into Santana, Jefferson Airplane/Starship, CSN. And my dad got me into Jazz and my Piano teacher got me into classical. I got myself into New Wave. Still love Renaissance and ELP etc.

Wonderful memories of seeing them and following them for years. Met Annie at a TV studio show that was aired on PBS, I think I was the only girl in that audience. She was funny and so sweet. Still get goosebumps listening to her voice! Still have all my ticket stubs from the shows. Al Stewart would open for them on some of their tours…I miss those concerts. So great to see these videos now so many years later…

I thought that was really nice and we had a wonderful time together."

    Open up your eyes and make the day shine sunshine now
    Open up your dreams and and make the way shine sunshine now

She introduced me to Genesis, King Crimson… Renaissance… Mountain…Yes…I love that Dennis Elsas and a few others are still active on Sirius/XM. Been a prog fan ever since.

Annie was on sparkling form and the band got so many curtain calls and demands for more music that Caravan were delayed getting to the stage..
    Just sheer magic - and Annie's voice has passed into legend now...

      Annie is certainly a legend, but very much a living legend. I only mention that because it is possible the phrase "passed into legend" night be interpreted by some to mean she has passed away. Thankfully, she is still very much with us as are Jon Camp and Terry Sullivan. There is a long interview with her from just a few weeks ago on Doug Helvering's "The Daily Doug" channel....also Jon Camp fans might be interested to learn of his recent work with guitarist Maurice Douglas. The duo is known collectively as "Mojo."

    This song entitled by "Renaissance," "Can You Understand?" is a musical "gem," and was originally a studio recording song taken from the 1973 released album entitled "Ashes Are Burning" on Capitol/Sovereign Records. On the studio recording, Richard Hewson arranged the string arrangements of the song. This song for me, is also very nostalgic, as it brings back yearning memories of the '70's "art rock" genre of music. John Tout was originally trained as a classical pianist and was a highly skilled keyboard player. R.I.P. John and Michael.
