Live At The Bicentennial 1976 is a live album by progressive rock group Gentle Giant.
It was recorded at the Calderone Theater in Hempstead, Long Island, USA on July 3rd 1976. It was originally broadcast on the radio and finally released as an album in 2014.
Playing The Fool is the first live album released by progressive rock group Gentle Giant. It was recorded on their European tour in the autumn of 1976.
I always think that Gentle Giant are one of the groups that sorts out the serious prog rock fans from the people who like the best known albums from Genesis, Yes and Pink Floyd.
Yesshows is the second live album from Yes and captures the group live between 1976 and 1978. This is when Yes and the other dinosaur bands were being challenged by punk.
During the period Yes changed keyboard players with Patrick Moraz leaving and Rick Wakeman returning. Moraz plays on the two very long tracks, The Gates of Delirium and Ritual – Nous Sommes du Soleil with Wakeman on the others.
All the World’s A Stage is the first live album by Canadian heavy progressive rock band Rush from 1976 concerts promoting their 2112 studio album. It was recorded at Massey Hall in Toronto, Canada.
This is a different sounding group than the one that appears on the second live album Exit Stage Left.
