Agreed. The bass work on the live version of “Ashes Are Burning” is phenomenal! I think the instrumentalist on that was Jon Camp. They’ve gone through a string of bass players.
I remember in the late 70’s Renaissance was playing at the Paramount in Seattle. I showed up only to find out they had had some sort of mechanical failure at snoqualmie pass.
I suspected that not enough people bought teckets. I didn’t know anyone else who liked them, and I sold stereo equipment and records at the time.
