GENTLE GIANT - Playing The Fool: The Complete Live Experience - 3LP - Vinyl Set [MAY 2]

3LP - Black Vinyl Set with Double-sided poster and Exclusive booklet with photos, new band interviews and liner notes by Alan Kinsman. 

Originally released in January 1977, Playing The Fool captured Gentle Giant at the peak of their live performance prowess. Now, over 45 years later, the beloved live album has been re-imagined, mixed and mastered, bringing a fresh level of clarity and depth to the Gentle Giant live experience.

Produced by Dan Bornemark, who has worked extensively with the band on archival projects, The Complete Live Experience captures the full scope of the band's artistry as they were meant to be heard, including restored in-between-song commentary, band introductions and authentic venue ambience. It features the complete full original setlist, plus three unreleased tracks -- 'Interview', 'Timing' and Ray Shulman's solo violin feature.

Available as a triple LP, double CD and triple CD/Blu-ray in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 surround sound and 96/24 Stereo, this release gives fans the ultimate Gentle Giant experience as never before, with stunning clarity and spatial audio that places the listener right in the middle of the show.
