Thanks RP! I gave that LP and all my others to my daughter and I haven't heard it in years. What a shame. Nicky Hopkins plays some mean keys. One of the original Jam Bands and a fun, fun one to see live.

yes this is long, but so enjoyable.  always was one of my favorites.  music associated with memories is like that. sometimes I think there should be 2 RP stations, one for people born and having a good time by the 70's and the one for people not thought of yet.

Renaissance has been around in one form or another since 69 when this song came out. I love both bands and this song is great...

Dino had not rejoined the band at this time. It's John Cippolina and Gary Duncan on guitars. The one with all the tremolo is Cippolina.

Nicky Hopkins - one of the greatest keyboard players ever. I think he was on just about every album made by anyone who was anyone (way back when). His work made the music. Pretty quick fingers, too.

It's on songs like this and "Fresh Air" from Just For Love that makes you appreciate Greg Elmore's incredible drum work.
