In my opinion, it's simply one of the best bands even after 40 years. 
Incredible. Thanks for publishing.

Can not sing enough praises of this group. They should go down in rock 
history as among the best of prog rock groups.  And the most inventive 
groups of all time

the second time I got to see Gentle Giant I was living In Atlanta GA. they 
played a relatively small club downtown called Alex Cooleys Electric 
Ballroom. I went there with a friend and was tripping on LSD. Got separated 
from my bud and was searching for him, I went upstairs and there was a 
section roped off with 5 people sitting at a table I was standing next to 
them and one of them turns to me and asks me if I was familiar with this 
music. I said oh hell yes and told them of my first time seeing GG. they 
invited me between the ropes and I sat down, these people are known as the 
band Kansas. I sit with them tripping and drinking on their dime for the 
whole concert. What a life for a poor boy from Indiana.

ONe of those accidental discoveries that takes the boredom out of life and 
turns it into pure musical bliss. I've never heard of this group before but 
i'm loving it!!! Thanks for sharing.

My word they were good live, weren't they. To be able to pull off such 
complicated compositions in that context is pretty incredible. I also loved 
how they were able to switch instruments so seamlessly and still have it all 
make sense. I don't have enough of their output in my collection.

Gentle Giant fans are the most loyal,smartest, most knowledgeable fanbase 
that I have ever encountered.The lineup-John Weathers,Derek Shulman,Ray 
Shulman,Gary Green, Kerry Minnear aka Gentle Giant.This is my favorite 
lineup of GG

This is one of the most unappreciated bands of all time. This is what I call 
fusion. These guys have it all. I am so glad this was posted as I never got 
to see them live but I have a lot of their recordings. Thank you!!!

GG by far the best live band I have ever seen! Yes complex arrangements but 
not contrived nor disingenuous. Superb melodies, harmonies, and rhythms. 
This band was FUN and the most musically adventurous.

they sound so perfect live, it´s incredible, this guys were better musicians 
than 99% of the progressive musicians of any era. I love Yes and Genesis but 
honestly they don´t sound live as good as gentle giant. it´s remarkable. 
kerry minnear is a freakin monster.

E.L.P. outsold Gentle Giant by about 100-1. There is no justice in the 
world. Best. Band. Ever.

The musicianship of these guys is surely appreciated by me - when I was a 
young lad, this band inspired my musical exploration. I could tell that they 
were extremely well-trained, and had to be natural talent, lots of practice, 
or both. Their compositions were so unique, yet I could find the soul in it 
no problem.  Let's just agree the masses have become so retarded that this 
kind of eclectic musicianship has become nearly extinct in modern times, and 
may need a kind of intervention to save the species!  I wish these extremely 
creative, risk taking innovators could have hit the financial reward bucket 
with a bigger result, to allow them to keep making music for another decade 
(or two).  Even if you don't like a particular song, there is so much 
texture, harmonic layering, counter-point - you can always find something 
new to listen to, which is why repeated listenings are so enjoyable.  Well, 
perhaps another lifetime! Until then, THANK YOU, YOUTUBE!!!!

Gentle Giant "Time to Kill"

!!!
 
Rests where he's staying, nowhere he knows,
A place where nobody cares where he's straying or where he goes.
To find no-one in particular, footloose, adventure still,
No thoughts for reasons, he does all he's doing
Has time to kill and still he's killing the time.
Sundowner, drifting from place to place,
Where all he needs is the shelter from seasons he was to face,
No bounds or duties are his, never seeking to find an end.
For life goes on being life, time and fortune he needs no
Friends and yet he's killing the time.
Where does he come from what did he do,
You know the answers are his hopes and promises nothing new
With no regrets he goes on doing nothing.
Himself alone, but still he finds all the time isn't wasted,
His life.

This was the first Gentle Giant song I had about two or three years ago. 
Having dug deeper into their discography in that time, these guys are still 
incredible!

@duncanparsons Don't forget the tape slow-down on the intro to "Working all 
Day" and the runaway tape speed-up at the ending of "The Face" and the 
subway SFX on "Underground". While it's kinda boring, I always loved the 
ending of "A Reunion" with it's somewhat dissonant 2-note keyboard part - 
denoting a troubled mind in conflict - slowly becoming a single droning note 
fading out to represent a resolution of sorts.

@wik1978 It was Pong :-) @underagepickle Pong came out in 1972 (but it was 
1973 when it took off), this song was in 1975. So it's a close call, but GG 
definitely sampled (as in taped) the effect, in the same way they used the 
shattering glass on IAGH, the coin spin on Octopus & the camera click on 
Civilian :-)

@originalDimer I think you might like a obscure english 80's rock band (who 
were fans of GG, Yes, Genesis). Try IT BITES -- PEOPLE OF AMERICA here on 
Youtube. This 'vinyl' upload is terrific. Thanks... Johnnnny

Gentle Giant ! This is a typical song by one of the let say 5 best music 
artists/groups ever IMO. Such intelligent music and in the same time with a 
fantastic feeling, fantasy and equlibrism makes it unique. Top class 
instrumentalists as well. I have listened to the original LPs for decades 
now, I you cannot stop admiring Gentle Giant nor continue to aquire the 
taste...

It's unfortunate that when we speak of Gentle Giant, our comments must be 
relegated to past tense as they broke up many years ago. They left in their 
wake, a rich legacy of albums, each incredibly inventive and tasteful! That 
a band of this gigantic (sorry about the pun) talent could and would be 
relegated to the discount bins of record stores if they show at all, is such 
a sad commentary on our society at large! Kudos for you who posted Gentle 
Giant on Youtube!

not 9/8 9/4 the nine beats follow a quarter note pulse.
 
multiplatinumbriz 8 anni fa
@Xparrot75 technically its 9/4 because the beats work out like a measure of 
4 then 5. or almost like 2 measures of 4 with an extra beat. Love the tube 
crunch on the bass!

This the mix I remember from the LP with Kerry Minnear singing lead in the 
middle section. I used to think it was Ray Shulman doing all the soft stuff. 
In the CD remaster Derek Shulman's voice replaces Minnear and the mix is 
different not as good as this though clearer.
