- WOW! What a frickin' track dude. The upbeat tempo and crazy sounds just ROCK... I kinda still am trying to wrap my head around half the stuff they were doing. Such a great find.
Further down the rabbit hole we go!

This is my favorite Gentle Giant album.
Yes, Genenesis, Gentle Giant and KC, these are the guys who coloured my soundtrack man, thanks a lot man, you're video's are great. Lots to go man! Keep going you're with your journey.
The list of great GG songs is nearly endless. They had a string of seven outstanding albums. Each album has its own character, but they all sound like GG. Utterly unique and highly influential.

Eight outstanding albums
50 years since that masterpiece came out. I will never get tired of it.
The very end is a piece of every song on the album. This album was never officially released in the US… but remains my favorite Giant album. One
Of my favorite live acts to see. Glad I had that opportunity about 6 times. ❤️
Saw them open for Jethro Tull on Tull's Thick as a Brick tour in 72 I think in Buffalo NY
my favorite song by gentle giant! Probably because, regardless of the many parts and breaks, it's just a bit more rocky. I like Gentle Giant in general, but this song puts me in a good mood in any situation.
Yeah I like the rocky section. 'I lost my Head' has a similar end section from the 'Interview' album which I like too.
Check out a band called Magma!! Also Gong if you have not already done so
I hate Magma. To each their own.
@@Alix777.Magma is an apex band
Especially "MDK" and "You" for starters. Love it.
Magma has some of the best drumming ever. Christian Vander is up there with the likes of Morgan Ågren, Tomas Haake or Billy Cobham. Insane vocalist as well, and Magma had all of the best french bassists and keyboarders of the time as well. Magma is an amazing band, totally original and I have never heard a band that masters dynamics and buildup in their composition to such an extent. De futura is the definite zeuhl piece IMO and the best introduction to it must be Udu Wudu as an album, MDK, K.A are possibly their most consistent, and of course "Live"
Yes , tull ,king crimson, gentle giant cant go wrong. Power and the glory next. Favorite album from them.
I haven't really listened to this band too much over time but this song kept me on my ears, so to say. Very well-orchestrated and enjoyable listening. Always a surprise from this band. Keep bringing the variety of music coming 🎵🎶
Amazing to think with all those instruments on their albums, they never had guest/session musicians on their albums.
One of my favorites! I saw them 5 times in Philly back in the 70s!
Really one of the best bands ever. So imaginative and creative and poetic in the same time and powerful. I will love GG forever…
There is prog, and then there is Gentle giant! next level stuff, true mastery of composition, production and instrumentation in their era, and I have yet to hear a band that is more refined and grounded while still being so awesomely adventurous! Zappa liked them, nuff said!
Yes! Thanks for reacting to this one as well! Glad they're on your favorites list already ❤
This album is FIRE, one of my all time faves. You've already heard the two big ones but you should do the rest, "Experience" is a dear favorite, the first part got stuck inmy head for like an entire month, SOOO addicting.
Great talk about dark and positive sounding music, 100% true, my experience has been the same, still love the darker stuff and occassionally even listen to it, but generally only gravitate towards the more positive sounding stuff nowadays.
Appreciate the kudos for Gary Green’s contributions. He is overlooked compared with the others in the band, but was ESSENTIAL to GG’s sound !
Fiddles are just violins. Just an acoustic slide guitar, not a steel guitar. The best Gentle Giant album imo.
My favorite tune from my favorite GG album! Superb drumming and everyone.
When i think about prog, this track comes in mind right away!!
Gentle Giants second album acquiring the taste is there best album do yourself a favor and check it out. But I think a young lad as yourself is not ready for it yet.
Dude. Thanks for the personal perspective at the end.
And for playing a piece of GG I'm not familiar with.
HERE'S some real globally-negative-content, turned into musically-positive-vibe:
( & I'll bet you've never met them yet ) ~~
(A reaction vid is not necessary, but DO check it out:)

Title: NUCLEAR WAR
This is my only Gentle Giant album, and the only one that I ever managed to "get into".
It's like listening to a kaleidoscope
This is one of several GG songs (like Peel The Paint and I Lost My Head) where one song turns into a very different one midway.
Of course, live fhey had several actual medleys.
Gentle Giant and Supertramp are great mood lifters. Fun music which clearly they enjoy playing. Their positive energy really comes through.
The ending sounds are a kind of index and reminder of the songs from the album…
So glad you are reacting to,and fully enjoying the old classic prog & rock,bro! The plain & simple fact is that--music was happier back then because people making it had a better overall outlook on life in general. Things were more positive back then,OR-- folks just were able to deal with bad stuff in a mature way. In short--they had a stronger belief system through faith (still) than in today's world. Alot harder for folks to achieve that these days,but--it's still there as always. We simply need to find it and embrace it. Enjoying your reacts,guy--keep up the great work and don't forget to check into Neal Morse's work. His writing is based/influenced by all the greats..Genesis,yes,ELP,Kansas,Rush,Gentle Giant,and even later Beatles vibes. He will astonish you..hands down! Regards, T
GG... one of a kind. Eloy - Poseidons Creation is awesome too! You need to hit Eloy, another underrated band. Thanks Lee...
Not really any Mellotron on this one. In general - except for a couple of their early albums -- Gentle Giant avoided the Mellotron (probably because they were famously nightmares to tour with). Kerry Minnear instead mostly played the Hammond organ, the Clavinet, and the Moog synthesizer (besides viola, xylophone, recorder and percussion.) But you can make the Hammond sound like a lot of other things with just a bit of studio effects. Vangelis was famous for making his Hammond sound like a string synthesizer long before they existed.
Gentle Giant just announced a preorder for the 50th anniversary In A Glass House short or long sleeve T-shirt’s or hooded sweatshirts to be shipped some time in November!
Even though GG rocks they compose like classical composer in this period of their writing.. All the interchanges are in a sort of Rondo form musically.
I love GG!!!!! ❤❤❤
Dixie Dregs must have been heavily influenced by this song. Magical!!
@@Hartlor_Tayley Dregs major albums were between 77 and 79.
Dreggs were out 3 years before this song. Maybe this song was influenced by Morse.
you should really cehck out proclamation/funny ways live 1974! It shows how they change instruments on stage and stuff + the coolest marimba solo in the prog world.
The first time I heard Gentle Giant was live they were playing mostly from Octopus I was blown away and they have been my favorite band ever since. Try playing the fool it is the best live album I have ever listened to. John 'Pugwash' Weathers is there drummer and is outstanding on there live album.
❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤
Another great prog band albeit massively underrated though. You have to 'graduate' musical boundary wise, to understand what these chaps were about . (I certainly feel I had to myself). What was amazing, was how they switched roles playing about through pretty much all the instruments on stage during a live show. I think they were quite unique and remarkable in that respect. Ps its great to see a young dude, experience this for himself and address your emotions positively, to me that means this music is doing you some good which, is what it's all about. Be well dear chap.
I think Gentle Giant would get a little too redundant because they truly were achieving a feat of proficiency considering how primitive was the recording. One could purchase mono albums of them as stereo was still new.
They chose the name Gentle Giant because they would transition back and forth from quiet soft gentle parts to loud hard rough parts.
❤
Next, Octopus, Boys in the Band, although the whole album is magical. ❤
Best concert ever. They did four hours.
Really nice folk as well.
I've got a lot like this
It's also part of Excerpts from Octopus on Playing the Fool which is really incredible.
re: your reaction, positive / negative, dark / light etc... have you dug into the past? I dig the dark stuff, and I find things like John Dowland's Lachrimae, Flow My Teares, etc., and some of Purcell's darker bits e.g. Dido's Lament, and Funeral Sentences, very therapeutic. understood if sometimes you just need something a bit sunnier. no shame in a bit of ELO. :-)
Experience is my favorite tune from this album. Do that one please.
Not only my favorite from this album but one of my faves by GG period.
a fiddle and violin are the same thing
There's no mellotron on this. Clavinet.
One the nearest Album cover.
Live they killed it saw the at The Armadillo World Headquarters.
You could sit at table order food. Bought the band a beer.
In Austin Texas. Made famous by Zappa.
TRY Änglagård - Jordrök , i think you won't regret . ps i like your show
I will! Thank you so much for watching 🙏 😊
Definitely not a mellotron there at the end. Just some organ.
You're beautiful 😍 that's all
No you are 😉
