Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Pass this by quickly!.......2001-06-16

I have been a fan of Gentle Giant since the 70's but this is horrible. Terrible sound quality. The band must really need the money. Buy Playing the Fool for a live GG cd. One of the worst cds I've ever heard.

3 out of 5 stars Live in 1973.......2001-02-20

Made in UK in 2000, Serial# GLASS-102-CD, Playing Time 69:00

The material on this disc was recorded in concert from 2 different sources: tracks 1-7 from Palesports in Torino, Italy back in 1973 ("In A Glass House" era), and the recording quality is abominable: the master tape probably comes from a cassette in someone's winter jacket! The sound balance that's left is mostly keyboards and vocals, while the bass and guitars are drowned...

However, this is the first time I hear a rendition of "Plain Truth" in concert, and it features an interesting violin solo.

The last 2 tracks come from a broadcast with much greater sound quality, and you can hear the band at their musical best.
