Gentle Giant "Memories of Old Days" (Remix by Steven Wilson)

[@JeffReams]

One of my favorite Gentle Giant songs …. Ray had such a great smile. RIP

[@berthazopp1]

Wow, this was beautiful. Been a fan of Giant since ‘73(yes, I’m that old!), and was lucky enough to have seen and heard this wonderful group. I’m a wreck right now. Well done Steven and Noah, well done.

[@nsgobbi]

We’re all old !! 😂 But we’ve also seen more than any other generation on Earth. Blessed we are.

[@Spencers7185]

I have loved and appreciated Gentle Giant for 50 years now, my first contact was a radio recording of "On Reflection" from "Freehand" that immediately enchanted me! Little by little I bought all the records, including “Missing Piece” and “Civilian” which I also really appreciate! 😉 In general, Gentle Giant is the band with the most good LPs, until perhaps "Giant for a day", all of the records are masterpieces! Gentle Giant is the best band that ever lived! There was and will never be such musicality and joy of playing again! Each individual musician essentially replaces an entire band on their own! Ray Shulman (bass violin, trumpet, etc.) and Kerry Minear (keyboards, cello, vibraphone, etc.) particularly stand out! But the other members also show what they can do! My special tip: Funny Ways! and not to forget the great live album "Playing the Fool"! 😇

Thanks ❤️ 😊 🫂 🙏

Here nobody is old...while GG, Jethro, and others bring us the majesty of music, we´´ll live our eternal youth

[@witeskyn7]

Nothing artificial, no auto-tune, acoustic guitars at the front and exceptional writing. Memories of Old Days....Simply Beautiful.

[@jotita1959]

Im 64, but nobody is old while Progresive Rock like this exist, never surrender !!!!

only our Drivers License is OLD !

[@jamescpotter]

A stunning piece of music! From the greatest 70's band and the most talented band of all time.

[@stratman9449]

i couldn't agree more...see my comment....

[@ADVENT_MarkPtak]

One of the greatest multi-guitar tunes ever written!! And a very tastefully done video... 👍😎

[@stanferraro4130]

Yeah Ray (and Gary ) wrote/played some great stuff, it was funny to see John and Kerry playing GTRS when they played it live !!

[@ADVENT_MarkPtak]

​​@@stanferraro4130That's the only thing I could think of that would've been a great addition...a short, quick shot of them playing it live sync'd as best as possible to the track...say, around 6:03 or so. Other than that, it was beautifully done...bravo, Noah. 👍

[@jahgust]

Wasn’t expecting to be so moved. The new mix is deep warm and as it finally should be. Added poignancy with Ray being gone. Well damned done!

[@user-wy1ev4yq5d]

Gentle Giant.. 1971 No real idea what I was viewing at a local venue. At 71 years of age, they are still etched in my soul. God Bless this band and it's members and Mr. Steve Wilson for carrying the torch and continuing the legend of this amazing group of musicians. Hence, the emphasis on the word musicians.

[@robertogori1046]

onore a Steve, GG unici

[@frankotten8994]

For nobody. Winning. Memories of old days. Top songs from THE MISSING PIECE.

my ears and brain R the Winners ;)

[@ChrisSmith-qk2vk]

Beauty. Power. Skill. Wow!

[@2wayplebney]

The best track on the album. I hope Steven found the missing bass for this release.

[@KlausSgroi]

What do you mean?

[@2wayplebney]

@@KlausSgroi The original release on LP had a clear but almost bass - free mix. My friends had a most excellent hi fi and no matter what they did with EQ they were unable to coax any significant bass guitar sound out of it. The subsequent CDs were not much better. I am hoping Steven Wilson has beefed it up on this version..

[@duncanscutt5879]

I am ashamed to admit Gentle Giant passed me by 'back in the day' . A dull day and aimlessly searching KZbin - searched Gentle Giant and picked this at random, I was blown away. I recorded a cassette tape 45plus years ago of various stuff off the radio which at the time burned itself into my memory banks the way they did, the last snippet before the tape ended was cut short and never identified.. I recognised it instantly and can now enjoy catching up with this great music - its never too late.

read my post about this 30 years till i pulled out the Vinyl and Played on my dual 1229Q pure reality RE-Check and im glad I passed ,,, not the song its timeless masterpiece ,,, supertramp school and all tull is based on this band and a few others to men tion pure HEAD SONG FROM HEAVEN to US !

[@geneleonard4368]

A Great song ! One of my favorites from Gentle Giant . I saw them play this live on the Missing piece tour in NYC .

[@stanferraro4130]

Same here, but I saw them in L.A.. This song was "mesmerizing", everyone playing guitars...They also played "winning" with a percussion backing track, and I've noticed that there are no recordings of this on the various box-sets or bootlegs...would love to hear it , I'll keep searching...

[@michaeljfarrell585]

At the Palladium, Dr Feelgood getting rudely booed off the stage as the opener! Great show!

[@garycitro1674]

@@michaeljfarrell585 Hah! The guitarist, from the stage, scheduled a post-show fistfight with the heckler sitting to my left in about the 5th row in between songs! As usual, an AWFUL pairing for GG.

[@michaeld1378]

​@@garycitro1674Was that in New Paltz?

[@RegWho]

Saw them at Avery Fisher Hall in nyc, I think it was 77..blew my socks off, a singularly unique band.

[@paulogouvea-vaize6672]

This video really brings me memories of old days...😊

[@SupremeMrRici]

Very emotional song and video. RIP Ray Shulman. RIP Martin Smith. Gentle Giant legacy is endless.

[@lesblatnyak5947]

Sadly, the business did not treat one of the greatest live shows ever well ✨️🎶✨️

[@johnnygutierrez2362]

One my favorite Gentle Giant song. Bring nostalgia and memories of yesterdays! Long live the Giant!!

[@CSchaefer1960]

Don't the Shulman boys just look so lovely and innocent? Who'd've thought they would one day unleash such a MONSTER ... albeit a gentle one ... Man, am I glad this song gets an overhaul. I've known the record from day one, and I always thought this song in particular was mixed way too low and somewhat out of balance. And now we can hear it in all its glory. It's like hearing it for the first time ... *shivers down my spine*

[@rnemchev]

One of the greatest bands ever existed! And this song is a treasure!

deeper than the DEEP BLUE SEA sir :|

[@Pcrimson1]

This IS my favorite Gentle Giant song of all time. I know this is not everyone's favorite album, but I loved it when it came and still play it all the time. Just as much as Octopus and Power and the Glory. To see the videos of them doing it live, amazing! I will get the Wilson remix for sure..

[@pauldavies1710]

Me too. I have loved ALL the Giant albums despite murmurs from others that this one or that one is weak. I have loved every track, even I betcha thought we couldn’t do it! 😂

[@pauldavies1710]

What a fantastic video. The Simon Dupree van really got to me. What a hell of a ride we’ve all had together on the planet and you guys set the soundtrack to it all. So now we stand on the edge of twilight each waiting to press that final red stop button. We the fans salute you.

[@Ixemile]

So excited for this !!!

[@thoughtfulpug1333]

This song was my introduction to the band. The most transcendent piece they ever conceived.

[@railwaystationmaster]

No other rock band could create such magic and SW just improved jaw dropping perfection , thats one small step for man and a GIANT leap for mankind !

[@stratman9449]

very poetic...but true.....

[@gambling_fool_from_florida]

The boys did it again!! Another terrific video!!!!

[@ulikringler5519]

Thank you Gentle Giant, thanks you Steven Wilson. Again, the show in Hamburg in 75 changed my life, In a glass house is still on rotation

[@d.r.mathias9648]

Saw G.G. perform this in concert - 1978. Yes, memories of old days. Such a great band.

[@decalogue6841]

Gentle Giant did perform this when I saw them on their Civilian tour in Cleveland and Detroit in May of 1980. It was stunning, as it was in the middle of more intense, tricky songs and gave a welcome respite. Memories of Old Days indeed!

[@basshorseman998]

I'd seen them in NYC same year..Still best live performance I have yet seen.

so an EARWORM omg ,,, HELP ME ! ! or HELP everyone ELSE become LIKE ME so we can ALL ENJOY the 1977 MOZART!

[@garycitro1674]

If you get it, you REALLY get it. So well done, all rare visuals. Ah, the Shulberry sighting at 5:50, the peaceful Ray at 5:46. Brought me to tears. THANK YOU Noah, Steven Wilson and of course the Boys In The Band and all others who make these things happen. Can't wait for the full release where I can blast a properly mixed FOR NOBODY, maybe my favorite single song of all time.

[@ADVENT_MarkPtak]

Waiting to blast 'For Nobody' & 'As Old as You're Young' !

[@Dexter-se8do]

What a wonderful tribute to a great and talented group of musicians! I have been a fan since 1973 and will continue till I die!

[@josealbinogoncalvesfilho7722]

As old as you're young

[@HeKl209]

Great song from a great album that unfortunately didn't have the success it deserved! Thanks to Steven Wilson for his great work and thanks to GG for wonderful hours with fantastic music!

[@JeanneW777]

Brilliantly done. I’ve been a fan of GG since first hearing them back in the ‘70’s on WZUM progressive AM radio in Pittsburgh, PA. That was so many years ago. Where does time go? “With sadness today, Hopes of joy yesterday,” and “Memories of old days Past.” This video made me cry, too. - jrw

[@rondidonato8552]

A favorite. I fondly remember them performing this for the next to the last time in San Francisco at the Old Waldorf. Small venue packed to the rafters. I was in tears.

[@duncanatkinson6485]

Bit of topic but I loved the Old Waldorf! Saw Steve Hackett there his 1st two tours after the split

[@2407paul]

Wow, what a magic to hear this great song, my dear 70"s love you forever

[@Stephanie-yv3kj]

Simply Wonderful Music ! Thankyou ! 🌬️💙🌊🏄💞

Best way to describe their music is that old monty python catchphrase "..and now for something completely different"

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@williamcampbell163]

Great band great song one of the best.😊

[@stanferraro4130]

One of their greatest compositions, I bought this album back in fall '77 and saw the tour spring '77...it never gets old...Masterful !!!!!!

[@philipakirov2489]

Memories of Old Days. Think of Me With Kindness Aspirations. His Last Voyage On Reflection Nothing At All. Three Friends The melancholy side of GG just hits just as hard. Unparalleled beauty in the “prog” world. Special mention to a few Genesis tunes as well, like Entangled, Ripples, Blood On the Rooftops. But man, GG . ❤️

[@ACooke108]

Beautiful.

[@daveschlom4033]

I will echo what many have said here. Memories is my favorite GG song. It haunted and moved me when I was 17 and now even more so. Because it evokes memories of each of our individual "old days." It deserved this wonderful resurrection.

[@maccesandholm]

So true, well spoken

[@marysattic]

Excited!! Thank you so much guys for this ! Currently I’m trying to play “I lost my head” on piano, second part, it’s so tricky! But amazing

[@jessecrewssr]

Bravo!

[@twtobin941]

Beautiful song and video work, befitting the sheer majesty of GG. Thanks!

[@phoenix-wc5vx]

you see? ... all is awareness and energy ... awareness the eternal One the IAM, that is , we are all really One being....and energy, that's what appears confusing....there are infinite forms in many layers of existence, because it's uncountable ... but the energy forms come and go and that's temporary...so in meditation I focus on my breath and listen... I am not the body, I am not the mind, I am pure awareness inside empty space and science found out were 99.9% empty space.... I have a relationship with God in our infinite journeys we enjoy together ... focus on IAM!!! Hope it helps, God bless you on your journey ❤

Great video and remix. Multiple pics and clips I've never seen before. Well done!

[@JoeSzilagy]

Undoubtedly not only one of the best bands in the world, but in human history, for that matter. Yet, ironically, one of the least noticed! Oh well, I guess most people will take fast-food, over a truly wonderful meal.

[@Kije.Jekyll]

Oh I love this one so much, can't wait!

[@TheBoffomundoShow]

Godhead. GG was the most talented of the 70's prog bands. Their live shows were remarkable and very very entertaining. More subtle than the others, who were brilliant in their own right.

[@boilinabag]

when it was about the music, and your record company grew with you. gg still the best.

I'll be ordering this remix as soon as I finish this up. Thanks to all involved. Countless thanks to all members of the band through the years for giving us such wondrous, beautiful, complicated songs to play over and over again. And a heartfelt RIP for dear Ray.
