Gentle Giant is maybe the major prog band with only a few good quality live
recordings, the official Playing The Fool, the BBC recordings, King Biscuit and a
few isolated tracks on Under Construction. The Gentle Giant bootlegs, a bigger
part now accesible as official releases are mostly medium to bad quality in
terms of sound. Unfortunately The Bicentinnial is no exception. A part of the
tracks were already releasd as Interview In Concert. Thanx to a new more
complete and better sounding master the concert was re-released. The concert
comes from the 1976 US tour prior to the European Fall tour where Playing The
Fool was recorded. The tracks that differ from PTF are Interview, Give It Back
and Timing (including the Quadra sound violin solo by Ray) Now, the source
must be a soundboard recording and is better then Interview in concert but has
still lots of distortion especially on bass and drums and an overall thin sound. A
good choice for Giant fans, otherwise Playing The Fool is the record to get from
the same period

My first thought was that it might just end up being another "Official Bootleg", But when I saw that it was to be officially released by Alucard. According to GG's official website, the concert found in this
