Gentle Giant Szene '74

[NolikargAven]

Is this part of the amazing ''GLASS HOUSE''??

[dub0vsky]

this kicks ass

[maxinedal]

derick now produces cristine agulara for those who thought they were out of the music biz

[ACDC7369]

why is there not more live footage of this band. WTF

[Shaikoten]

This is great, and such a jam so far from their recorded material. Very good GG footage, especially with Derek just randomly going on the bass like that.

[waynedanberry]

More Szene please! I'm not sure where or what that is, but when they jump out around 2:13, that just Kicks ASS!!! Yeah, it looks like Ray, usually the Bass player, is doing some kind of Indian War dance, or Rain dance.(He's the guy in the black pants), Derek,the Lead Singer, is playing Bass on this one.

[stringz63]

that's a whole lot of rockin goin on!! GIANT RULES

[Hyardacil]

Reminds be of Zeppelin.

Only these guys pwn zep.

[KingAlfred]

[Nuxunumo]

i love Ray's dance at 2:28 lol

[leafsrocktx]

Hail to the power and the glory

[syr1811]

WOW! I had forgotten this solo & duet jam part of their live shows 'til I saw this clip. Thanks, PLANx. This really brings back (GREAT!) memories. I'm not one of those that think nobody's making great music today, but . . . what a time the 70's were for great live Prog Shit.

[dailydent]

woooooooow... that was amazing... such power.

UGH GENTLE GIANT RULES!

[east25]

wow... gentle giant the best!!!!

[1dudeman2]

im new to gentle giant but i like what i hear

[hope2prosper]

this awesome footage shows the intensity and raw power of GG.  to me, Derek seemed more at ease doing heavy stuff like this.

[Netherhall]

PURE GENIUS!!!

[Sunchild333]

hehehe Derek was so goofy on-stage, that it's actually good!

[GentleGiantess]

so true bro.

[RedBarchettaa]

Man, why can't music be this great again?!?

[zezovsk]

Que ataque!

[Islwynpaul]

Nobody quite like Gentle Giant, I always say. Thank God!!!!

[jaydude214]

hahahahaha so funny when it zooms out after the drum solo and it shows the two guys just hopping around thats hilarious

[hasbeenshaken]

and not only hilarious, but also musically a great "hopping in" at that moment, isn't it?

[jaydude214]

I know and it looks like he can barely even do it hahahaha he looks like an exhausted donkey

[mustamaja]

stop hurting people!

[klaussgroi]

derek playing bass is funny !

[waynealarsen]

I saw them play the Asbury Park Casino back in the day ( before the Ramones played at Gulio's South in 1976 anyway) and they were amazing live!

[ePhilosopher]

sofar flung from galapaghost island all sheared bote and turtletaub, i'd rather see Auchwitz in the rAIN

[sbringe]

Wow Head Bangin Giant!

How cool thx

[SteelyDug]

I always think that "the giant" logo picture was patterned after the drummer, John Weathers. lol

[TheRealSlipperman]

The "Peel the Paint" Guitar jam melded with a bastardized version of the the "In a Glass House" verse vamp.

Gotta love Giant.

No peers really.

SM.

[cherryorchards]

what the hell was this? gg doing heavy metal?

[tantaluringen]

I think GG play everything from metal to what ever... This is long time ago. I hope they still play where ever they are!!! :-)

[cokkinos]

kick ass!!!

[kensho3]

Gentle Giant. What can you say? Unrelenting dedication to the best of what music does to a person. My favorite album (in a way)? Three Friends!

[SFCBenny57]

No band today would have the talent and courage to try an attempt the things GG succeeded in doing musically in their time!

[Tarrelit]

they are head banging :D

[acoronab]

URIAH HEEP, AC/DC, Blacj Sabathh and Kiss were already out there in 1974. I bet GG was just doing a parody. You know, there were smart people in the 70s, but came Disco to "ease" them, came Punk to numb them, came New Wave to to trivialize them...

[lickfret]

I remember seeing them in '72. Throughout the performance, one of the Shulman brothers pointed out which instrument was next to play in each song. They were all dressed as gnomes. Very gifted musicians. A very entertaining concert.

[tantaluringen]

This boys did this allreaddy 1974 what other groups was trying to do to day. (sorry my English is not good) I wish I could explain, but I dont need to do that. Just listen at dem please! There is no need to explain. Its so clear! :-)

[paobat]

Virtuoso polinstrumentist without being "mechanical" or cerebral. Guys from a different planet... :-)

[tantaluringen]

If You know where is this planet of GG, please help me to understand how to go there! I can hijack something from Nasa. Lets go! ;-)

[bikr1975]

wow, could this be an early version of headbanging?? never seen them do that, COOL.

[Minero61]

This just means Gary was ahead of his time...

[Fernweeks]

Gary sounds like Nigel Tuffnel when he starts soloing here. This comment is from someone who has the middle of the "Free Hand" solo as his ringtone!

[Pectiniculus]

how did you get that?

[Beadbud5000]

this is on the giant in a box dvd
