Few bands in progressive rock history earned a live reputation quite like Gentle Giant. Renowned for translating their astonishingly intricate studio recordings to the stage with remarkable precision, imagination and musicianship, they delivered performances that remain among the most celebrated of the era.

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.

Across these recordings, the group’s extraordinary interplay, multi-instrumental virtuosity and fearless arrangements are showcased in full, featuring definitive performances of classics including “Free Hand”, “Proclamation”, “On Reflection”, “The Advent Of Panurge”, “Just The Same”, “Playing The Game”, “The Face”, “Funny Ways”, “Knots”, “Memories Of Old Days”, extensive Octopus excerpts and many more.

Front Row Center also includes a 60-page hardback book featuring a substantial new essay by Alan Kinsman, drawing on extensive interviews with the band to explore Gentle Giant‘s unique approach to live performance, touring, musicianship and stagecraft, alongside rare photographs and memorabilia.

Expertly mastered by Peter J. Reynolds from the best available sources, Front Row Center is the most comprehensive collection yet of Gentle Giant‘s remarkable US live recordings – an essential archive celebrating one of progressive rock’s most original, adventurous and accomplished live bands.

Front Row Center U.S. Dates 1975-1980 is available to be pre-ordered here.

Polyphia have shared another piece of their upcoming new album ‘BE NOT AFRAID’ in the form of ‘WITH EYES TO SEE’.

Demonstrating how the band are approaching their musicianship from a different angle with this record, it is a sample-filled and eardrum-destroying experience, full of bludgeoning bass drops and intricate trap beats. Keeping chaos at its core, the quartet deliver the sorts of sounds you never expect to hear together in a manner which is wholly unique to them.

Guitarist Tim Henson had this to say about the album, stating, “The album takes you through the extremes of two different worlds / moods: one being very uplifting and triumphant, the other being spine-chilling and terrifying. There are moments on the record that legitimately scare me when I listen to them.”

And when you listen to ‘WITH EYES TO SEE’, you can see where he is coming from.

Check out the song alongside a mind-melting video below:

‘BE NOT AFRAID’ will be released on October 23 via Rise Records.
