Synopsis

Album Description

Endless Life contains two previously unreleased live concerts by Gentle Giant, who were a great powerful band, live. Recorded on the Free Hand tour of the U.S. in October 1975, the first disc was recorded at Music Hall, White Plains, New York and the second at The Community Theater, Berkley, California. Amongst the highlights is the 15 minute Excerpts From Octopus, which includes Boys In The Band, Knots and The Advent Of Panurge, the amazing violin solo on Plain Truth and the drum solo on So Sincere.

CD Reviews

Buyer Beware: Bootleg!

Dale Chapman | San Ramon, CA USA | 01/04/2003

(1 out of 5 stars)

"The emergence of this disc greatly excited me. This was a very fine year for Gentle Giant (1975), and one of the two shows contained on this 2-CD set was recorded in Berkely, CA (my home away from home). However, I was HUGELY disappointed when I put these discs in my player. Both concerts were recorded with handheld tape recorders from the audience. Translation: these are bootleg recordings. They sound simply dreadful, and are only required for the completists. The first show (From White Plains, NY) sounds better than the Berkeley show, but neither is listenable. This product should be removed from distribution. Charging a fee for this poor product is criminal. I offer 1 star for this product only because of the brilliance buried under the horrendous sound quality."
