Gentle Giant
New Orleans + BBC session 1972

I'm in a Gentle Giant mood so here's another...
My mp3 remaster of this very nice SBD/FM concoction.
The New Orleans gig was opening for Black Sabbath
which, most people will agree, is an odd combination.
"shut up you rowdy bastards"
They had supported Jethro Tull earlier in the year
and I made a little montage about the 72 Frankfurt show from that tour.
I used it for the inner cover:

































I bet they were never invited to open for Tull again!

Titus

  1. excellent titus, have never heard this new orleans show but it sounds fantastic...if the rowdy bastards had listened better they might have found sabbath a little less interesting!
    thanks!
