comments:
this is most of a nice Gentle Giant show from their prime time.
their 1975 shows were all good ones, no exception here, but it's
missing the 1st few seconds of cogs in cogs and fades out during
the drum jam. I don't know how much is missing, everything in between
seems to be there. these later 1975 GG shows ran about 65- 85 minutes.
this would be better than two-thirds of the show, maybe three quarters.
It's a decent sounding recording, probably recorded with a Sony 152
cassette deck. some of the loudest claps were reduced to protect
sensitive ears and speakers when listening to this at a loud volume.
one tune that is conaspicuously missing in here is "free hand".
tjhis was one of at least 2 (maybe 3) GG 1975 shows in Boston since
they also played the Boston Garden in Aug. I saw both, didn't
have a recorder or I would have recorded them. I enjoyed both shows,
especially this one. sorry it's not the whole show. if anyone has
more of it or a better recording, post it up. In the meantime
this should do okay. thanks to GPS for making this recording
(not the tracking system, that would be the Giant Preservation Society)
