Renaissance was founded in 1969 by two ex-members of the Yardbirds, Keith Relf and Jim McCarty. However, from the very start, the intention was to go in a classical direction, very different from what the Yardbirds did. The band went through some different personnel changes, losing Relf and McCarty along the way. By 1972, the band's line-up stabilized. The new focus for the band were the vocals of Annie Haslam and the piano of John Tout.
In July 1974, the band released their fifth album, "Turn of the Cards." Wikipedia says, "With a larger budget, the album went from folk-flavored to a more dark, lush, orchestral rock sound." This concert was part of a U.S. tour to promote that album.
Here's the band's Wikipedia page:

It looks like this concert has been officially released under the title "Alive in America 1974." But it's a very obscure release, so obscure that I couldn't find a copy. But that didn't matter much, since I found a bootleg version of the radio broadcast that I'm sure was the same original source.
This album is 58 minutes long.
