After decades of enchanting fans, RENAISSANCE bade goodbye to their fans at the end of 2024, and even though the ensemble unexpectedly returned to the stage last year, when Annie Haslam and Jim McCarty faced the audience with spellbinding talk and musical performances – one of of those appearances was filmed and will be released, accompanied with audio discs, this summer, – it’s officially over. Of course, given that the veterans’ endeavors during the last road treks used to be documented, there’s no surprise in the upcoming release of the “In Gratitude: Farewell Tour” set, which preserves for posterity, on two CDs, their show in Collingswood, New Jersey, from October 26th, 2024.
Available at the collective’s Bandcamp, the set may not have the most imaginative cover artwork, yet it indeed touches on all their classic albums from the ’70s and includes several rarities, including “Forever Changing” by Terry Sullivan, who passed away last week. A most welcome offering.
