OU: This particular show came to me a few years back in a trade. The guy I got it from wasn't sure what he had at first, so he contacted me for some help and we managed to figure it out. I've never seen this listed anywhere else in my life, so I was thrilled the guy got in touch with me.
SOUND QUALITY
Well, not the greatest. Maybe a B- or so. Still plenty enjoyable, but those of you looking for only a few choice Giant shows might want to pass on this one. Serious collectors - grab it. It is a full show. I did nothing to alter this recording from the way I received it. Excerpts from Octopus is split in two, apparently because of a tape flip and I left it that way.
One cool thing during Excerpts - the band always included a recorder quartet but this time, the four of them play a bit of Raconteur Troubadour on the recorders. That only happened briefly at late 1974 European gigs like this one. Later, that tune was used during a guitar duet instead.
So enjoy the show! Thanks to the taper and thanks to you.

One of my all time favorite bands - so few live recordings of GG. My ears thank you!
Gentle Giant is one of the few bands i can think of (though i'm sure there are many more!) where there aren't ANY good sounding audience recordings! (which is a shame!)
I agree. Pretty much any Gentle Giant boot is "rare". Glad to have this one!
Really a favourite band!!
I own another GG boot, the (in)famous Cherry Bomb recording. Someone, I think it was 1971, had a bad idea to hire GG to open for Back Sabbath in a US tour. This recording was made in the Hollywood Bowl. Suppose was one guy, surely a Sabbath fan, who recorded the show and here and there we can here the guy speaking "sh*t" and laughing much like the Beavis & Butthead style.
The cherry bombs were thrown in the stage, GG left it, then came back, and at the end Phil Shulman shouted some "nice" words, not very clear though, to the audience.
Many thanks for this one, Dave!
