Two live classics. Choose one.
For me, Playing the Fool. |

Hi,
Both are excellent, and it is really hard to select one. This was, by far, the best time for Renaissance with Annie. GG was not as appreciated at the time, until this album came about. At our station in Santa Barbara, for example, only Guy Guden played GG on a regular basis, along with many other fine things that no one else touched, or had an ear for ... in this sense, Renaissance was the easier one to tackle, but in due time, and many years later, one can see the incredible musicianship involved in all the members of GG. The show I saw them in, their encore was insane ... the musicians played musical chairs and switched around until all of them had played everything. Craziest thing I ever saw, but I have not heard anyone mention that before! |

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I much prefer Chicago's Carnegie Hall to Renaissance's.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Renaissance - one of the best symphonic prog live albums ever.

I covered a track off each of these two albums in a much longer poll of lives myself recently. I had not listened to either album in many years. I used to like that Gentle Giant live much more than I now do, whereas I found more to appreciate from that Renaissance live than I remembered. Live at Carnegie Hall for me for sure.
