    I'm 61 and I only heard Gentle Giant this year. By chance I heard "The Street, The House, The Room" with the eccentric little fiddly bits and was intrigued. So naturally I've gone through the whole catalogue. They are absolutely amazing and I play very little else.

      What's fun is it looks like Minnear is performing a real knock-out grand piano solo live in the room, even though we are hearing the record of course... Not sure about the drummer - maybe they all did it live in there after all?.. They did play it on tour back then...

    • @danpage79
      @danpage79 Рік тому

      Yeah, they did. It was a music video with the original album track back in 1976. This was before MTV. Many bands that were recording videos back then would make these promo videos with the band playing live and it was synced with the original track. Thus this video is lip-synched for airplay on TV music shows in the 70s. This was played on a show in the US called The Midnight Special. I got it off Giant on the Box DVD the first DVD, there are two DVD releases. Just go to the Gentle Giant website to buy.

    The most complex and sophisticated Progressive Band ever. Only Yes 1971-1974 could be compared in original complex compositions. But Gentle Giant si still nowadays the most exquisite original real progressive Rock band ever. RÄ.

    1:52 when i First listened to that piano section i had goosebumps, this is maybe the best "dissonant" song ever. Only genius like these band members could create songs like this, proclamation, playing the game, advent of panurge etc... Another Song that is not much considered is "Inside Out" of their last album.

    They would have gone down a treat at Glasgow's annual Celtic Connections festival. The Shulmans were a Gorbals family (infamous Glasgow district )and as their tribute to fellow Gorbals expat, the famous psychiatrist R.D. Laing, on their earlier 'Knots' proved, Glasgow has given the world so much more than sectarian violence.

    Thanks Guys for watching and listening to Gentle Giant! I am amazed at all the folks who either have been following the band or who just discovered these talented musicians and Derek Schulman as manager of his own record company DRT records. The band is amazing still if you have seen "Three Friends" with Gary Green you know. I'd just like to say thanks and GG lives on. The Steven Wilson remixes are great. I encourage you to check out more GG on youtube

    Some here have commented that Gentle Giant were way ahead of their time and on an entirely different level, which are very true...but they carved out and occupied their own patch, and they preferred it that way. As Derek Shulman said, "we create our music at the risk of becoming very unpopular"...most people viewed them as oddities, unfathomable intellectuals, or just plain weird; they just didn't get it. But those of us who did get it loved it and still love it all these years later! They were incredible and one of a kind!

    • @BarryWarne

      Their riffs are full of space, which was always remarkable. For a progressive rock band playing off-kilter grooves over polyrhythmic-odd-time-signatures, that angular space funked things up ~ 2:48 funk from all that space they put between beats. You could almost dance to it but you could always feel it. You could certainly twitch to it quite satisfactorily.
