It's marked as a soundboard tape but it might be from an FM broadcast, however, there are no station ID's present on it. Creation opened the show for GG and, according to a press report, was booed off the stage when they mistakenly returned for an encore. The Riviera was an old refurbished 1930's movie theater on Chicago's north side, seating around 1800. Giant's set was recorded by Chicago radio station WXRT, eventually being edited and broadcast in January 1977. For more info on Gentle Giant visit http://members.aol.com/JAskelly/GGtourhistory.html I fixed a few bad edits and made a slight speed correction. I have included a file gg1976-07-07 (T-770)edits removed.flac which contains all the sound from the edits made when sound was deleted. If you burn as audio I wouldn't recomend including this file on the audio disc. I did the editing, mastering (tweaking) and analog to digital transfer for this version of this show. Please keep the text file unaltered together with the FLAC's. Don't rename directories or file names if you share this. My concern is that when people rename them they drop information like date, venue, location, T number. This information is useful to others when searching for or deciding which version of a show they want or already have. Don't alter the sound of this recording. The T releases are not to be used as a source for anyones so called remastering projects. If you really want to do something find a better quality recording of the show and work from that. Don't just take what I have worked on and screw with it. For trade or give away only. Do not sell. Do not encode as MP3, MD or any other format which degrades the quality of the recording.
