A rare and wonderful glimpse into the sound of the original Renaissance, captured at the San Francisco home of hippiedom that reveals the potential of the legendary band formed by ex-Yardbirds Keith Relf and Jim McCarty. A blend of classical, rock and folk music pervades a selection of eight performances including the epic ‘Kings And Queens’, featuring the superb piano playing of former Nashville Teen John Hawken. We also hear charming vocals by Keith’s sister Jane backed by Keith (guitar), Louis Cennamo (bass) and Jim (drums) on ‘Wanderer’, ‘No Name Raga’ and on several more carefully crafted and restored tracks.
