Gentle Giant-Playing The Fool

original

This live album came out in 1977 and was recorded on their European tour in 1976.This was another favorite played when living in the apartments. I moved into a one bedroom apartment around August of 1978 with two others who were already living there.By the time we got kicked out in early 1979 there were five people living there.A couple of our girlfriends sweet talked the manager of another apartment complex into letting us move in.That lasted until the late summer when we were evicted from there.After that I moved into the house in Wilmington just off Bancroft Parkway. We liked side three the best with the drum and vibraphone solo’s at the end of “So Sincere”.Side two has a 15 minute medley of songs from Octopus and “Funny Ways” from their first album.”On Reflection” is almost acappella with minimal instrumentation.The record still sounds pretty good.
