hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: June 14 2004, 14:27 I think I've heard at least 10. One of them is by one of the few vocalists who can rival Maggie: Annie Haslam. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

Ostach Group: Members Posts: 71 Joined: June 2004 Posted: June 14 2004, 15:49 I knew Reilly sung the album and extended versions. But can you give more nemes of other vocalits? I would be very grateful... -------------- I stay I pray See you in heaven one day... Back to top

I bet there are one or two bogus ones in there. AllMusic is not the most accurate thing: I was once researching a band, and found that band listed as a DRUMMER in another band. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

Ostach Group: Members Posts: 71 Joined: June 2004 Posted: June 14 2004, 16:10 Hmmm... interesting... Thanks for the list. I'm also looking for the names of vocalists who sung MS with Mike Oldfield.  I knew of other bands eg. Groove Coverage. I'm sorry, maybe my question was inaccurate. -------------- I stay I pray See you in heaven one day... Back to top

Inkanta Group: Admins Posts: 1453 Joined: Feb. 2000 Posted: June 14 2004, 16:17 I've not heard Annie Haslam's version--imagine it would be brilliant--love her voice. Pepsi, a vocalist on The Millennium Bell CD, sang MS for the 1999 Then & Now concerts. She sounded a bit off-key to my ears. Maybe it was just my ears, or just that evening.... -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist." From:  Moongarden's "Solaris." Back to top

Ostach Group: Members Posts: 71 Joined: June 2004 Posted: June 14 2004, 16:23 Do you have any idea how to get it??? I'm trying to get the info about the MS vocalist on '98 concert. I have the ver with characteristic inhalation before every line of text... Do you have any idea who might it be??? -------------- I stay I pray See you in heaven one day... Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: June 14 2004, 19:48 That was Pepsi Demaque at Horseguards (98), she also sang on the 1999 tour. In Berlin (New Year's Eve 1999-2000), Moonlight Shadow was sung by Miriam Stockley. Another he performed it with, in the late 80s, was Anita Hegerland (only a couple times, as he never toured then...maybe even just once, at the volcano concert). Otherwise, I think the rest have always been Maggie Reilly (I won't rule out that I might have forgotten some though! ). Back to top

Holger Group: Members Posts: 1506 Joined: Feb. 2003 Posted: June 15 2004, 05:35 There is a version of it sung by 'Cara from Polar Star', however it is thinly disguised as being another song... (sorry for this completely useless post!     ) Back to top

Sir Mustapha Group: Musicians Posts: 2802 Joined: April 2003 Posted: June 15 2004, 07:07 Yuck. The song, not the post. Renaissance, eh? I have heard of those guys. They're a kind of 70's art-Progressive-rock, aren't they? I could never imagine they'd get to perform Moonlight Shadow! That's interesting. -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: June 15 2004, 09:49 I have most of Renaissance's albums. One interesting thing about them is the turnover in band members in their first few albums, and that they started as a Yardbirds spinoff. They evolved into an inconsequental new-wave band in the early 1980s, but managed to recreate themselves in the 1990s. Their "Moonlight Shadow" version is from "Live in Japan 2001: In the Land of the Rising Sun", a live album consisting of performances of their previous classics, with "Moonlight Shadow "sticking out as the only one not composed by Renaissance members. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

Sabbit Unregistered Posted: June 19 2004, 16:42 The first time I heard of the song Moonlight Shadow was on Dance Dance Revolution, and it was sung by a group called Missing Heart. Back to top
