Massive new Gentle Giant live collection coming out

We all know that Gentle Giant was one of the greatest progressive rock bands of the 70s, and some of us even got to see them play live when they were together. If you've got an itch for more live Giant, this new release has what you need.

From the press release:

Front Row Center (US Dates 1975–1980) presents an extensive document of that legacy, bringing together eight CDs of rare American performances spanning the band's classic years. From the celebrated Live At The Bicentennial concert recorded at New York's Calderone Concert Hall in July 1976, through the acclaimed Playing The Fool touring period of 1977, to a powerful 1980 performance from Atlanta and the superb Capitol Studios recordings from 1975, this collection captures Gentle Giant at every stage of their evolution as a live band.
