Many thanks to Derek Shulman Ray Shulman Gary Green Kerry Minnear John Weathers (Phil Shulman, Martin Smith and Malcolm Mortimore also) for ten years of best innovative Progressive Rock. I'm very impressed! This is awesome music.
I also prefer to close my eyes for this video, but the video editor definitely had some interesting interpretations of the music, and certainly put a lot of work in.
"prog songs"? Fank Zappa really does not classify the prog-rock world, he stands out at a whole different level. Zappa does not get classified anywhere else as Zappa. Not saying that some interesting stuff happened back then in the prog rock era (Gentle Giant for instance)
So glad to be alive to hear those golden age's masterpieces that where those Progressive Rock groups like Giant. The best group in the world. Long live the Gentle Giant.
Thanks to all current and former members of Gentle Giant, living and dead. Your music has improved the quality of my life. Special thanks to Johnny. RIP
I love this so much! I remember my mum blasting this out, late 70s? She had Tannoy Mercury speakers in each corner of the room and hearing this through them blew me away. Monumentally magnificent!
Decades before pitch correction, profoundly complex interweaving harmonies in perfect tune. A higher level of talent and musicality than 99% of the bands out there.
Steven Wilson has done his best job remixing Gentle Giant albums. He has done the dame with other bands but with not the same final results. Some years ago, i did lend my Octopus LP copy and never got ir back. ..
I was 15. I had already purchased their first album. 1975, the year I discovered GG (in a Miracle Mart’s record section). My musical coming of age! Free Hand is a masterpiece. Buying it over again with this new mix will be amazing (considering that some earlier cd versions - early 90s - of Free Hand sounded so horrible)! Unfortunately, I was not to see them live until the Interview Tour (1976).
Still one of my absolute favourites. Sounds great. The video is cool, but I realised, that since I know this song for so long now, I have my own inner images when I hear it. A video distracts me rather than giving me something. Nevertheless cleverly done.
The video is awful in my opinion. A song that morphs and transitions through various phases and moods like On Reflection shouldn't have 6 minutes of static nonsense as a video. The song is still absolutely phenomenal though.
There's complex music and then there's Gentle Giant:) More complex than complex, but very good and unique:) Once you find your way through their universe it's very rewarding:)
The video would fit a piece of Contemporary Music, which is sometimes melodic, sometimes atonal...so it fits Gentle Giant perfectly, because in their time they were all that...they were rock, they were blues, they were folk, they were contemporary - truly progressive. And they are still unique and have never been equalled. Perfect video for a perfect band.
Gracias estimado Steve por subir el vídeo. En mi tiempo en Uruguay no llegaban mucho los vídeos de los grupos musicales como Gentle Giant de vanguardia,progresivo y de fusión. Un abrazo desde La Paz, Canelones, Uruguay

Alter Charmeur, I AM WITH YOU...The Shulman Brothers, Mortimore,GREEN, Minnear, Weathers the drummer, ...what an incredible, fantastic, unique BAND
Brilliant Musicians
I have never heard counterpoint of this complexity and taste in rock music.These guys were masters.
AMEN!!!!!!
Gentle Giant music does not need any visuals. Their music is vision.
Visuals are a distraction to music (with the exception of a Performance video).
@@klyvemurray Comment is a distraction to visuals
I also prefer to close my eyes for this video, but the video editor definitely had some interesting interpretations of the music, and certainly put a lot of work in.
But also, this video is so good!
One of the best prog songs ever. It deserves the finest treatment possible.

Hey Mark...Zappa rated and really dug GG...
So glad to be alive to hear those golden age's masterpieces that where those Progressive Rock groups like Giant. The best group in the world. Long live the Gentle Giant.
I saw them live. I SAW THIS LIVE.
@@Percopius I went to see them in 76 at Newcastle ffs were old bstrds now lol
Gentle Giant, Jethro Tull, Steely Dan & Frank Zappa : the best rockmusic ever been recorded
@@patrickdemeyer8992 bro those bands are not pop this comment offends me
i changed it, bro
The Steven Wilson treatment REALLY shines on this song. What a difference!
RIP Ray. Best band ever.
Thanks to all current and former members of Gentle Giant, living and dead. Your music has improved the quality of my life. Special thanks to Johnny. RIP
Minnear’s vocal in the middle section is so magical
I love his voice!!
The Giant it's like a drug. I can't stop listening!
The GIANT never SLEEPS . Rock FOREVER YOUNGboys in theBand
não há limites para elogiar essa banda!!!.........certamente está nos registros mais significativos
da música de todos os tempos!!........
The musical ability of this band is amazing 50 years later.
Listening to the new mix on headphones, it sounds amazing.
I DEFINITELY AGREE: It's breathtaking!
I didn't think this song could sound any better but Steven Wilson proved me wrong. What a treasure he is. And what a treasure this band...!
Amazing bass

Yes!!!! Never gets old!!! Even better live!!!
Masterpiece
Wow, great improvement done by Steven Wilson. Sounds brand new. All voicing is now crystal clear. Bravo.
Wonderful !
Absolutely awesome!Titans of Prog...
Kerry's voice was so soothing
Gentle Giant: to know and to love!
Hail to the Giant!
i've been listening to this for over 50 years now. and it still makes my hairs stand up. what a live show.
One word : MASTERPIECE
One of my favorite songs of all time even better live! Great remix by Steven!
Another work of excellence made excellent all over again.
My ears. My ears have been blessed again. This time for all times.
Steven Wilson has done his best job remixing Gentle Giant albums. He has done the dame with other bands but with not the same final results. Some years ago, i did lend my Octopus LP copy and never got ir back. ..
Greatest concert I ever saw was Gentle Giant opening for Yes at the Cow Palace in 1976.
A versão ao vivo desta música é belíssima também
Arrisco dizer que gosto mais da ao vivo.
Sabe dizer pq o Kerry Minnear não cantava ao vivo?
Thanks for this .Brings back good memories .Seen them in Newcastle in 76/77 so long ago.
I was 15. I had already purchased their first album. 1975, the year I discovered GG (in a Miracle Mart’s record section). My musical coming of age! Free Hand is a masterpiece.

A big love of my youth! Gentle Giant forever!
Some kind of magic ❤
I scared the shit out of more than one of my school friends, playing this album when we were high - or tripping!
Still one of my absolute favourites. Sounds great. The video is cool, but I realised, that since I know this song for so long now, I have my own inner images when I hear it. A video distracts me rather than giving me something. Nevertheless cleverly done.
I agree. i could do without the visuals. Not to disparage the person or persons who created them, but they are subjective and not to my taste.
The video is awful in my opinion. A song that morphs and transitions through various phases and moods like On Reflection shouldn't have 6 minutes of static nonsense as a video. The song is still absolutely phenomenal though.
@@phlog_dog7336 yep, I’d rather see the artists performing the masterpiece. Even if they mimed to it lol.
Listening to this great music and this animation was quite an experience. As they used to say back in the day, far out !
Just unbelievable. Amazing artwork and to hear this music like it's brand new again. Truly happy to be alive today.
Gentle Giant and Steven Wilson....perfect match !
Sounds amazing. It's actually one of my favorite GG songs. Good work and thanks a lot!
Awesome Acapella Counterpoint .
Now, always, forever the biggest: "WOW!!!"
IMHO, this song is one of their 5 best!
Magnifique !
Wilson nails the remix !
Always the best ...thank you for sharing this means alot to me.....
Poesia PURA!!
Most beautiful break up song EVER ❤️💔
Giant ❤️❤️❤️hi level. I love this band🕺🕺🥁🥁
Thank you for this album !! Decades listening to it and it is amazing everytime !!! thank you for your art Gentle Giant !!!!
Upper crust. Top drawer. New mix with visuals is entrancing. Thanking!
Great work Noah and Steven .! Love the photo of Ray and Kerry at the piano 3:45 .
My favorite gentle giant song!
There's complex music and then there's Gentle Giant:) More complex than complex, but very good and unique:) Once you find your way through their universe it's very rewarding:)
Great and a great Mix!!!

This video is perfect. It complements and understands the music, the band, the time.
Fantastic remix, many thanks Mr. Steven Wilson.✌️😃👍

In my way did I use you, do you think I really abused you
On reflection now it doesn't matter:
How can you say I made you need me more than anyone else
Who can say it right now it's finished over:
It's my act, it's my calling, I explained exactly the falling
Different ways of life can never even:
Be the same when you saw me, could you always take me the
Same way As I came and went I tried to remember you:
Still, you stay
Tied in your way
Changing times
Watching the signs
How:
Could you see in me what you thought about all you want me to be
Now:
On reflection why should have I changed my ways for you
All around all around, all around all around
All around all around, all around all around
Cry my sympathy's with you but I never lied to you all in all
It seems it's just an experience:
Placed my cards on the table told of everything I was able
Understanding still, not anything different:
Find another to lean on, start again for I should have long
Gone, on reflection now it's just an experience:
Soon the pain will have ended, together never intended, as I
Come and go I'll try to remember you:
Still, you stay
Tied in your way
Changing times
Watching the signs
How:
All around all around, all around all around
All around all around, all around all around
All around all around, all around all around
All around all around, all around all around
All around all around, all around all around
All around all around, all around all around
I'll remember the good things how can you forget all the years
That we shared in our way:
Things were changing my life, taking your place in my life and
Our time drifting away:
I'll remember the good things how can you forget all the years
That we shared in our way:
Things were changing my life, taking your place in my life and
Our time drifting away:
Look back it's not your game, together just in name
I'll remember the good things how can you forget all the years
That we shared in our way:
Things were changing my life, taking your place in my life and
Our time drifting away:
I'll remember the good things how can you forget all the years
That we shared in our way:
Things were changing my life, taking your place in my life and
Our time drifting away:
I'll remember the good things how can you forget all the years
That we shared in our way:
Things were changing my life, taking your place in my life and
Our time drifting away:
All around all around, all around all around
All around all around, all around all around
All around all around, all around all around
All around all around, all around all around
All around all around, all around all around
All around all around, all around all around
Muito boa, amo o álbum Free Hand, depois ele eu acho que a banda se perdeu um pouco até o Civilian que é muito bom
This song definitely top ten for GG
Il prog in persona;great gentle giant
To whom is this angel voice?!…
Kerry Minnear the keyboardist
@@toshinokyokosenpai9239 I did not know that it was Kerry. Thanks for the hopefully accurate info!
I wonder how many high school madrigal groups have attempted this?
Muoio dalla vostra musica ❤️
Well that's my mind made up, bluray purchase on payday incoming!
right, I didn't even know he released another Gentle Giant
We have at least the chance to listen to THIS. Think about other born in different times or spaces that haven't got opportunity.
Love this song! but not anymore than I did on the original recording.
Great fugue!
-what kind of music do you hear?
-well...
