I don’t like VBR but unfortunately I don’t have the audio CD of it and this was the best rip I could find. If someone has a quality constant bitrate rip of it, I’d be more than happy to post it. Same goes for King Biscuit concerts Vol.02.

(Review from vintageprog.com)

Renaissance was for some unknown reason always more popular in the USA than in Europe, so it was quite natural for them to record their classic double live-album over there. “Live at Carnegie Hall” featured songs from the four previous albums, and proved that the band could pull off their complex and orchestral compositions and arrangements very well on stage too. The title-track from “Prologue” kicks it all off, and is followed by strong versions of “Ocean Gypsy”, “Can You Understand”, “Carpet of the Sun”, “Running Hard” and “Mother Russia”. These versions may not add anything that the studio-recordings didn’t have, but it’s still great to hear them in a live setting. The band also talks and comments a lot between the songs, adding the magic live-atmosphere that far too many live-albums lack. The second record in the set is taken up by only two tracks. Fist we have of course “Song of Scheherazade”. The album itself was actually still not released when the band played it here, and the audience must have gotten some quite enormous expectations for it after hearing the track for the first time that night. But the real highlight of the album is the fantastic 23-minute version of “Ashes are Burning”. This is undoubtedly one of the best performances the band ever caught on vinyl, and Camp delivers some of the most beautiful bass playing I’ve ever heard. “Live at Carnegie Hall” remains one of the best live albums from a progressive rock band.
