Four Prog Rock Classics from Gentle Giant

[Big Jer]

Paul turned me on to one of the most creative progressive rock bands of all time over 30 tears ago. It's been long overdue for a post on this website, so here's some nice performances by them...enjoy!

Great Jer!!! I haven't been on the site for a few days and I'm so glad that you had more balls than me to post some GG. Judging by the lack of comments I guess the other members are still scratching their collective heads. They're an acquired taste for sure. Your choices were all good (too bad the "excerpts from Octopus" were out of sync though).

I really enjoyed them.
Thanks

Denise and I were on vacation last week so I'm playing catch up today.

Jer, again you've managed to dredge up a great band that many have either forgotten about or never listened to. This is excellent. I actually saw GG in 1975 but I must admit that at the time it was hard for me to wrap my head around what they were doing. Watching these four vid's makes me wish that I had bought some their albums but I never did. Great playing and very high level of musicianship. I especially liked "Funny ways" and that vibe solo was awesome.
