Gentle Giant
Brussels
January 1975

This concert was filmed/recorded in Brussels by the German TV outlet ZDF.
Here is a new remaster of the audio. It's duel mono judging from the waveform.
Often quoted as 1974 but a fan-site did research
and found one of the TV crew who had worked on the show.
He said it was early January 1975.
It was also recalled that GG said they were flying to the US.
The US tour started in January and this setlist matches what they played.
One of the most fearsome musical units I have ever heard.
They cruise through demanding complex arrangements
with the nonchalant ease of a bar-room blues band.
Makes you sick!
regards
Titus
