Gentle Giant - New York, New York
[King Biscuit Flower Hour 1975]


This short 15 minute set captures Gentle Giant at their chaotic best. Their music is matched by one of the more unusual 4 channel mixes you will ever hear from a live broadcast. This mix bears almost no resemblance to the commercial CD release, which is stereo only. At the time of this show, Gentle Giant was touring in support of "The Power And The Glory".

The performance was recorded on 18 January 1975 at the Academy of Music in New York City, which despite it's impressive name was a former cinema built in 1927, and was first broadcast in SQ quadraphonic on the King Biscuit Flower Hour on 28 September 1975 as part of a double bill with an Aerosmith performance.
