  In 1973, the band Renaissance was in a pivotal moment of their career, actively evolving after their previous album, "Ashes Are Burning," which had been released in 1973. The live performance of "Can You Understand?" recorded in the RTL4 studio in Luxembourg on November 30, 1973, comes during a dynamic phase for the group, known for their intricate compositions and strong symphonic rock elements. This period represents a time of artistic growth, highlighted by the notable presence of lead vocalist Annie Haslam, whose distinctive voice became emblematic of the band. The lineup included key members like Michael Dunford and John Tout, both of whom contributed significantly to the band's unique sound. This recording showcases Renaissance's ability to blend classical influences with rock, a hallmark of their style, and occurred just before they gained wider recognition with their following album, "Turn of the Cards" in 1974.
