Over the last few months, I've tried to upload a few Gentle Giant shows
that I've managed to get hold of, but which seem to have rarely
circulated. This is one such show that came to me from the original
taper quite a few years ago. Like the others, I thought I'd put it up
here for any who might be interested.

I'll tell you now that the quality is average blah mid-70's audience
fare. You know, the kind that you get from the middle or back of a
huge hall, using cheapo equipment. For big GG collectors, this will be
fine, but for the rest of you - nothing to see here, move along....

Actually, I still have a few more of these tough to find GG shows left,
but none of them is stellar quality. I'll try to upload them anyways
eventually - I know some of you will want them. I know I would!

In Cincinnati on this night, the band opened for Rick Wakeman. Procol
Harum was supposed to play in the middle but did not, a situation that
caused quite a bit of tension (see my website for further details -
link provided below). This recording is GG's complete 45 minute
opening set.

I'm really glad that all the great sounding GG shows are already out
there but, like I said, I'll try to put up the rest of the things I
have which are *NOT* out there as much, as I get the time. Not great
quality, but cool stuff nonetheless!

Thanks.

Jack
