"Absolutely outstanding re-master. When you close your eyes you get the feeling that you are actually live at a Gentle Giant concert and I can attest to this since I have been to a few Gentle Giant concerts back in my hayday."

The definitive live album.

"This is the definite live album. This does what a live album should do -- capture the essence of the band, convey the excitement of the event, and sound like a concert. This one does it all with perfection. If anyone wonders just how much musicians can accomplish live on stage, "Playing The Fool" answers all questions. In concert, each of these guys played multiple instruments and sang. Sometimes playing 5 percussion instruments, or 5 stringed instruments, or singing a 5-part acappella, they played individually and as an ensemble in a wild frenzy of syncopated, complicated and technically brilliant music that defined progressive rock. And their concerts were FUN. This album captures it all. The finest musicians ever recorded--live!"

It doesn't get better than this

"Along with The Lamb, this is the best prog rock album ever made. Gentle Giant is, man for man, the best collection of musicians in prog rock and on this album they put on a clinic. The interplay among them is unparaled and I was particularly blown away by Gary Green who is the most underrated guitar player on the planet."
