The concert is well timed if you're a Gentle Giant fan. Looking at the crowd-sourced ratings of their albums on rateyourmusic.com, their first seven albums, released 1970 to 1977, all got very high ratings, and then there was a drop-off. This concert took place shortly after the release of their seventh album, "Free Hand." This concert consists of three songs from that album, plus songs from five previous albums.
Personally, I wasn't that taken with this music. Their songs don't stick in my mind. However, there's no denying they had lots of musical talent. By the way, my friend was raving about an Eber Pinheiro remix and remaster of the Gentle Giant album "In a Glass House," which was officially released earlier this year. So if you're a fan of this band, you should check that out.
The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent.
This album is an hour and ten minutes long.

ReplyDeleteThe cover image is reversed. It is unusual to have all 3 players playing their instruments left-handed.
