Oh God, I can't WAIT! Picked it up when it was released. Still treasure it today - maybe even more than then. One of the 5 best live albums of all time!
Now - this is a band that deserves much more recognition from its achievements in that golden era of arena rock. The original UK release of the live double album included a 12-page booklet.
Similar to how Dweezil and Ahmet are keeping Frank Zappa’s music alive by introducing it (in live performance and surround audio releases) to existing fans and new audiences, it is wonderful to see Alucard and the remaining band members keeping the incredible music of Gentle Giant alive with these new releases, including in Atmos, which is what I’m most interested in. I now have almost all of the new remixes by Steven Wilson, and they are all amazing. So having Playing The Fool in surround will be another incredible experience. Hoping for quality equal to the Wilson Atmos remixes. Thanks guys!!!
This is a very muched loved Gentle Giant record and I think just about every Gentle Giant fan would agree on this. It's one of the best prog/rock live albums ever released. I'm very happy to hear that it is being released in this format in 2025. However, the "Official live" is great as it is and I hope it will remain the great recording that it was and still is to this day. Using the term "reimagined" gets me a little nervous because, so far, most things in the entertainment world that were "reimagined", were pretty much destroyed when it was all done.
Could somebody please be kind enough to tell me what song is being heard during the Promo video heard here for the 2025 reissue of Playing The Fool? Thank you for any help.
Oh god yeah F yeah!!!!!!! the greatest live album ever from the greatest most epic legendary unique innovative creative multi talented genius band ever.
So without proprietary Dolby Atmos gear what then? Exactly. I Not going to become some corporations cash cow. The best and most true 3D sound, and has been since the late 60's is bineural, only regular old headphones needed!
Ok Grandpa. We'll leave you to your candlestick phone & kerosene lighting as well. While you listen your way, I shall be enthralled by at the very least. 5.1 mixes. Give your sensorium a thrill. Its worth the price!
@@howardlondon1376 What, all you got is 5.1little kid? I have 7.1, so freaking what? Do you know the difference between it and "Dolby Atmos" Which is 100%proprietary, requires a license to use, specialized encoding and decoding software, as well as all new amp, players and then some, let alone what recording studios need, all which you have to pay for BEFORE you hear anything at "Dolby Atmos" you numb scull kid with your generation logical fallacy and while showing you don't even understand the very thing you are talking about in the first place! Maybe you should read up on Dolby Atmos first, and maybe then when you know what it is, open your mouth!
Thanks Noah for keeping the legacy alive. Easily one of the greatest albums of all time, hands down. Can't wait for this. The boys deserve this one!
A unique progressive rock band that was ahead of its time. For me, the top representatives of progressive rock.
Ahhh... a Christmas present to all of us!

Keeping their music alive!

Magic band and a magic live album.
I’m not sure who wrote the amazing intro. I’m guessing Kerry had a big hand in it. He wrote so many incredible, timeless pieces. Love it!

Intro ‘76. The band wrote some really great intros to their shows. Who does that? Nobody. A truly original band.
@@mj1229w Thank you for the answer. Happy New YEAR.
This is the second best to time travel, but as I haven't completed my time machine yet to visit Gentle Giant in concert, I will order the Cd instead.
