The earliest live recording of Gentle Giant known to exist. Also the only live recording known to feature original drummer Martin Smith. Sound isn't great, quite muffled and distant but still listenable. Also, whoever recorded this stopped the tape recorder between tracks.

Jack Skelly informed me that this version of the show circulates among traders, but this is a definitive upgrade of previously circulating versions: this comes directly from the original master cassette tape. For a 40 years old cassette taped with a cheap portable recorder I think it sounds very nice. The band is on fire, and the setlist is great (even though I would have loved them to play more stuff from "Acquiring the Taste").

Another in my series of re-seeds
Gentle Giant Hollywood Bowl 1972-09-15
The Hollywood Bowl show has always been a favorite among Gentle Giant collectors. Here it is presented in a direct transfer from an uncirculated reel tape audience master.
In one of the more bizarre pairings of bands live on stage, Gentle Giant were the tour openers for Black Sabbath. Unfortunately then, and much funnier now, the crowd treated the band rather poorly. During the introduction for "Funny Ways", someone tossed a cherry bomb on stage. The rant that follows is truly classic.
That didn't stop the band from putting on a great set, however. Like true professionals, they kept on undisturbed.
If you are at all curious about Gentle Giant, this show is a good place to start for their earlier music. It's a mixture of the medieval period and odd harmonies, put on with an amazing proficiency and technical skill.
Some people say that early Tull is medieval, which Ian Anderson has repeatedly denied over the years. Think that style multiplied about tenfold, and you have Gentle Giant. Perhaps it isn't a good analogy, I don't know.

Song information embedded with stamp ID3 tag editor
Gentle Giants capitol studios live session was long enough for an LP (40 minutes).
The KMET weekly radio show was an hour long.
So the radio station padded the broadcast with 3 studio LP tracks at the beginning to complete the hour.
This presentation omits these official tracks.
The "auto-correlator" is a multi-band, single-ended noise filter and dynamic range recovery system.
It incorporates noise reduction in four frequency bands, one in the bass intended to suppress turntable rumble and three in the treble intended to suppress tape hiss and the like.
The noise filters are controlled by signals derived from bandpass filters.
Like a constantly changing equalizer to reduce tape noise and expand the dynamic range.
I used this equipment sometimes when copying tapes to my DAT.
Phase Linear electronics were top quality for the day.
Always used a light setting and never attempted to eliminate hiss just knock it down a little bit.
This is from my friend Allen's recording, I also have a version that I taped but it doesn't have the fat bass sound.
For historical reference only and not intended for resale or any commercial use.
Hope you can enjoy this as much as I have.

Gentle Giant,
L'Altro Mondo,
Rimini,
Italy,
5 June 1976
I'm very happy to be able to present this extremely rare show, which has never been heard publicly until now. Not only is this show uncirculated, but it's also the first concert to surface from their 1976 Spring (April-May) European tour. The tape was recorded by a young fan who couldn't believe he had a chance to see his favorite band live and wanted to document the evening. Normally, he's not a trader or a taper, he only wanted something to remind him of that magical night: this is why this show has eluded circulation for so long! However, when I asked him whether I could have a copy, he immediately sent it to me. Thanks a lot, Enzo! Sound quality is quite good for its age: pretty clear and you can hear every note that was played. The audience reaction is very warm, Gentle Giant were always very much welcomed in Italy, but there is not distracting chatter, apart from the usual cheering and a couple of enthusiastic sections (where else are you going to hear the audience singing along with the breaking glass intro on "The Runaway"?). It's not a raw transfer: Enzo mentioned working on it with EditPro when he transferred the original tapes back in 1998; however, he also told me he is not going to rip the master cassettes again, so this will have to do. Don't worry, it sounds pretty good and not overbaked. Tape flips occour during "The Runaway", the "Advent of Panurge" section of "Excerpts from Octopus" and "Free Hand".
The setlist is the same as it would be on their next and more documented American tour, with the seldomly played "Give it Back" replacing the stage classic "Funny Ways". It has been speculated that during the first European tour, complete versions of "I Lost My Head" were performed in concert; however, by the time this tape was recorded, they were playing the shorter version as part of the mini-medley with "Peel The Paint", just like on the rest of the available dates of the year. Since this is the second to last concert of the tour, it's possible that the full song was performed in the first few dates and then reduced as the tour progressed. Until another tape surfaces, we can't know for sure. This is a great show, 1976 was a good year for their concerts. Derek Shulman introduces John Weathers as "Giovanni Catastrofe", John Catastrophe. Between "Timing" and "Free Hand", John keeps yelling "FAGIOLI!" ("beans") to the audience. Who knows if he liked the way they were cooked in Italy or if he just enjoyed the sound of the word. During the extended violin solo, Ray starts a funny shouting match with the audience.
Nothing from this show has been included on "Playing the Fool": that live album was culled from concerts from their Fall 1976 European tour (September-October). As far as it's known, no dates from their earlier European tour were officially recorded.
