  In 1983, when Renaissance performed live at Park West in Chicago, the band was experiencing a resurgence in their career following the release of their album *Novella* in 1977. This period marked a transition for Renaissance, as they were moving towards a more contemporary sound while retaining their progressive rock roots. The concert features tracks that highlight their evolving musical style, including selections from their earlier works such as *Song of Scheherazade*, demonstrating their classical influences. The performance at Park West was significant as it encapsulated the band's ability to blend intricate musical arrangements with lyrical depth, showcasing their artistic evolution. Additionally, 1983 was a pivotal year as the band was on a tour to promote their then-recent release, *Camera, Camera*, which further illustrated their attempt to adapt to changing music trends while still appealing to their loyal fanbase.
