CD/DVD Releases: Renaissance's ''Song Of Scheherezade'' Is First DVD Of Band

Posted on Sunday, December 21 @ 00:00:00 UTC by nightowl

The first ever DVD to feature one of the great progressive-rock bands of all time! Song Of Scheherezade features 2 classic live shows: One from a 1976 US tour (Capitol Theatre - Passiac, NJ), and another show from 1979 (Convention Hall - Asbury Park, NJ). Renaissance were originally formed in the late 1960s by ex-Yardbirds members Keith Relf and Jim McCarty, but both eventually departed leaving the classic line-up of Annie Haslam (vocals), John Tout (piano), Jon Camp (bass pedals/vocals) and Terence Sullivan (drums). The later line-up were responsible for the groups most recognized albums: Prologue (1972), Ashes Are Burning (1973), Turn Of The Cards (1975) and Scheherezade And Other Stories (1976), which gained the group a significant fanbase in the US and led to hits in many other countries including UK top ten single "Northern Lights."

SRP: $19.95; Run Time: 120mins; Label: CHERRY RED; Genre: Progressive Rock

Released in the UK by Pinnacle, though the status of this company in tenuous -ed.
