Gentle Giant

Funny ways

[@YodaOnDMT]

I love the way Hip Hop introduces you to great music and motivates you to get digging in those crates... not just for samples, but for interesting music. I love the blend of folk and rock in this. Took me straight back to seeing pictures of the older generation as hippies. We laughed at them as kids. As adults, we wish we could have been there.... Frankly I wish I had a joint on the go before I put this on. Sadly, I'm in Accident & Emergency and I'm not sure the hospital would appreciate someone smoking a spliff in the waiting room.

[@Yjin570]

+Yoda on DMT Especially with artists like Madlib who finds such obscure and amazing samples

[@Goatchild90]

1:29-1:52 Madvillany sample

[@rodderhicks]

DOOM

[@PutteParasoll]

EXQUISITE!!!! Pure BRILLIANCE!! That xylophone solo is killing me! Hats of for those five geniuses. Noone can top them, never ever...

[@wigginsdesign]

I can't get enough of these Giant clips. I want to turn the world on to this music as an example of what rock music can be but wonder if the unexperienced ear of todays music audience can truly appreciate the depths of such an amazing group and what they meant to theri fans.

Cant Reform Em

[@pllopis]

I love Gentle Giant and always have. It was such an unusual and eclectic group...Never well known and only appreciated by well developed ears and good taste musicians. Non commercial music, real, creative, expansive and boundless. Thanks for your video gift. I surely appreciate it.

[@TNTQc]

Beautiful. I love a lot what Gentle Giant brought in music. There's a high chemical between those guys. It's just great.

[@Oenols]

This band is kickassmazingly good. I love them.

[@antagonija]

There is an energy so complex but yet simple in the music so spontanious yet so premeditated!

[@mikesoundcity]

Loved them since 1973.

[@theodorus45]

Forgot all about this band,very nice music!

[@FoxtronInk]

Wow, no wonder why I my mind feels so vast. Besides this is a great song, really complicated an virtuosity pour all over! Greetings from Seattle

[@elintrafalario]

[@marinaCrete]

[@jasonology]

Wow... what a vibes solo. Tremendous.

[@joealanouf]

[@PaulHartXYZ]

Hey. I saw GG several times. An AMAZING experimental band. But how can ANYONE blow the Tull of the 70s away???

[@mellowloops]

[@emmanuelwhite7288]

madlib your chops are unmatched

[@notrombones5041]

Incredible band!

[@Pectiniculus]

[@PongLightdrop]

Thank KZbin To get to see this footage is such a treat. Hi all my like people! If you were around for this band where are you? Our kind of people sure are not where I have been lately! Yes this is my favorite song of life it describes me perfectly!

[@anteupper]

Three Friends are on tour! Outrageous Kerry, Public Enemy Gary and the lovely Malcolm with Mick (10CC) +2..

[@youoverzealtube]

Gentle Giant - 17 October 2008 - Coolham, Sussex. Be there or be square.

[@gofnas3]

You Knew when you went to a Giant show, you were gonna get A SHOW, No band puts the effort in to fill the voids of the music.

[@UKSleepwalker1]

Sometime during the early 80's I was in Birmingham I came across for advert Kerry Minnear's advert for him as a music teacher. I rang him up and he seemed not very interested in talkinng about GG so I left him alone. I saw John Weathers in 'Man' and he told me that Kerry had discovered religion

[@maestroclaudino]

Excelente! Há muitos anos que queria ver isto

[@joealanouf]

lol oh yeah glory i got the power and the pashion is a eloy song. but yeah i ment power an glory. grate album. i have almost all the lp's buts a few. or their last albums i dont have

[@mikesoundcity]

"haha that man with the white cello is my piano teacher! honestly it is" Well if I was you, I would buy every Gentle Giant album you can and if you atain 1000th of Kerry's talent you will be brilliant my friend. :-)

[@mirror1001]

I was so fucking surprised when I heard this on madvillainy the first time, I love this band so much

[@Pectiniculus]

but according DRT Entertainment, Kerry Minnear did become "a music teacher and sometime television scorer" so it must be true.

[@SpikeWorsley]

You're one lucky guy. Tell him how much he's appreciated by us KZbinrs please. Good luck. By the way, bald is best!!

[@fitovega]

It's really amazing,...where those creatives Days?

[@snoogans999]

that violin blows my mind every time

[@dougmphilly]

the best gg song

[@hugobear1]

I'd chop off my right arm to see footage from the Acquiring the Taste tour. By the time I started seeing them in the late 70s they'd dropped almost all the early stuff from the set. Anyone got any??? please.

[@Panurge2]

"Best" is so subjective ... I prefer to say they were the "most amazing band" ever!

[@SveinNOR]

Sad story this band has.. as most other good prog bands they were ruined by recordcompanies in the late 70s early 80s.. They have alot of good songs, and although i wouldnt chop my arm of to see them, i would, under circumstances, pay a sh*tload to see them perform. I raise my glass!

[@wigginsdesign]

Comparing unique great bands is futile to me. Yes is uniquely YES. Tull is Tull. Nobody can be Zappa. But GG brought something else to progressive music different than Cow, etc... And it was brilliant. I saw all the above then and GG twice at close range doing this song and others early-mid 70's. They were incredible!

[@tochiRTA]

MY WAYS ARE STRANGE!

[@cln5510]

Dunn Dunn dunn Dunn my ways to speak

[@swans1997]

@polperro I wouldn't say the music biz created punk. Punk was a reaction to the music biz and THEN the music biz created it's version of punk.

[@jimmywires500]

Dave grohl on vocals

[@joealanouf]

i think this is from th epower and the pashions tour because gary green has a spade or club simble on his sleve. but its just a guess. regardless. love live gentle giant in all their splentous glorey

[@OZRIC1985]

@DrFoofyMan...I completely agree with your comment! I can't even subject myself to the crap on the radio any more.

[@stevetaylor2405]

OMG! Kerry Minnear!!!

[@Kegwithlegs]

Has anyone seen a film of them performing "Little brown jug"?

[@elektra1968]

well try the dillinger escape plan...

[@ummagumma33]

good for you buddy!

[@phrozyn311]

Wow dude!! For REAL!?!

[@giovannisugonatoli]

you are lucky!!!!

[@giulianina1000]

Esiste una musica più completa? Melodica, innovativa, barocca, rock, medievale, jazz, tecno, ........ Credo che alcuni brani del gruppo rappresentino la massima espressione della speculazione musicale. Filosofia della musica. La sento da oltre trentanni e suscita sempre nuove emozioni. Qualcuno concorda o sono da analisi.

[@eulenspygel1917]

Concordo pienamente,pura poesia musicale uno dei migliori gruppi inglesi di rock progressivo assieme ai Van der graaf generator

[@jordantriplett5672]

Madvillainy

[@LiamRossGibson]

you're saying that you actually take piano lessons from THE Kerry Minnear?!

[@festival3051]

Is that first chord the same up strum as Breathe by Pink Floyd?

[@johnsurrey7426]

Hologramix 1 It's a minor chord, but not the Em of breathe. Looking at Gary's fingering, I'd say it's an Am.

[@tonyfourhunnid]

But what is he saying during the madlib sample lol

[@bazoom-o3k]

how ? how the f can u find and do all this Madlib ??????

[@snoogans999]

The reason for the violin

[@SpikeWorsley]

Oops, sorry, no offence intended - I do tend to call girls "guys" as well! Good luck, maybe you'll be a Gentle Giantess one day?! :-)

[@Sunchild333]

@DrFoofyMan Well put...but there are allways bad side effects. Complex music and intellectual capacity often lead to a very strange self-realization, which then leads to critical view on the world, which then leads to depression and social isolation. Or is it just me?

[@UKSleepwalker1]

I apopolgise for my appaling use of English in my last post

[@snoogans999]

how was it? being in Canada I was a default square

[@PunSmoke]

Does nothing for me I'm afraid

[@Aspartamebraintumor]

its really hard to choose between which posted version I like better...I think the cello and violin harmonize better on this one
