I have a whole playlist like that...

alexstrachan.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hey, works for me.
Screw AOR and their 3-minute (if that) pop ditties.

About a lute but featuring zero lute

billthecat71.bsky.social•4 days ago

preferably with a 12-minute synth solo thrown in for good measure.

dudlyboy.bsky.social•4 days ago

Or anything by Floyd after Barrett left.

We made a terrible mistake when we stopped troubadour-themed rock concerts

Things have never been the same since the minstrel left the gallery.

This has been on my bucket list forever

I share with you

That's Jane Relf out front for Renaissance. Her brother Keith played guitar and sang. He had been lead singer/harmonica in The Yardbirds

dmandl.bsky.social•4 days ago

It's Annie Haslam.

ladlitterbsky.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thanks Dave!

danbad23.bsky.social•4 days ago

Annie’s voice…like no other’s

danbad23.bsky.social•4 days ago

Sounds of the Sea. 5 octave range…

alittlemorewicked.bsky.social•4 days ago

I was about to comment on her incredible range. And her technique, especially in the higher ranges, is gorgeous.

richardjellyfish.bsky.social•4 days ago

Gawd! I love Renaissance. I've seen Annie Haslam solo twice but sadly never caught the original band in their prime (before they decided to hop on the new wave wagon)

thesmilodon.bsky.social•4 days ago

Kind of like Pentangle a bit.

bconnettgr.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oh my gosh!! I forgot all about Renaissance...thank you for reminding me🤗

bicoastalkate.bsky.social•4 days ago

I really miss the 1970s ...

gummitch.bsky.social•4 days ago

To any who are interested in more of this, I heartily recommend the Live at Carnegie Hall album by Renaissance.

feralharp.bsky.social•4 days ago

They’re one of the bands I’ve seen most often. In fact, I caught their farewell tour a few months ago.

krisko.bsky.social•4 days ago

sadly, too many recent attempts to revive this theme have resulted in gwar-esque post-punk bands

moviessilently.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yeah, absolutely not, it needs that flower child energy

onezero.bsky.social•3 days ago

There might be an avenue for this to make a comeback: Ahmed Alshaiba has a YouTube channel where he covers various popular songs on oud. They’re very well done and have millions of views. (There are a few others, but he seems to be the main dude so far.)

somuchpingle.bsky.social•3 days ago

As a goofy teenager in the 70's I did not appreciate Renaissance, but I sure love them now. Give me a time machine and I would go back to catch them live (Pentangle too).

The Low Spark of High-heeled Boys...

justjrwhite.bsky.social•4 days ago

The song I consider to be the foundational prog song.

sunseekerdeluxe.bsky.social•4 days ago

And there's always Van der Graaf Generator's twenty-minute epic about Peter Hammill's guitar and how it's the one thing in the world he can rely on to be honest and true.

sunseekerdeluxe.bsky.social•4 days ago

(Well, that, and also self-destructive of solipsistic creative isolation, but who's counting.)
