Descrizione del prodotto
Poche band nella storia del rock progressivo si sono guadagnate una reputazione dal vivo paragonabile a quella dei Gentle Giant. Famosi per la capacità di trasporre sul palco le loro registrazioni in studio, incredibilmente complesse, con notevole precisione, fantasia e maestria musicale, hanno offerto esibizioni che rimangono tra le più acclamate di quell’epoca.
“Front Row Center (US Dates 1975-1980)” presenta una documentazione esaustiva di quell’eredità, riunendo otto CD di rare esibizioni americane che abbracciano gli anni d’oro della band. Dal celebre concerto “Live At The Bicentennial”, registrato alla Calderone Concert Hall di New York nel luglio 1976, passando per l’acclamato periodo del tour “Playing The Fool” del 1977, fino a una potente esibizione del 1980 ad Atlanta e alle superbe registrazioni dei Capitol Studios del 1975, questa raccolta cattura i Gentle Giant in ogni fase della loro evoluzione come band dal vivo.
In queste registrazioni, lo straordinario interplay del gruppo, il virtuosismo polistrumentale e gli arrangiamenti audaci vengono messi in piena luce, con esecuzioni definitive di classici quali “Free Hand”, “Proclamation”, “On Reflection”, “The Advent Of Panurge”, “Just The Same”, “Playing The Game”, “The Face”, “Funny Ways”, “Knots”, “Memories Of Old Days”, ampi estratti da “Octopus” e molti altri.
