I was introduced to Gentle Giant by my boyfriend at the time, along with many other amazing bands. It was around 1970-l was 18. I immediately fell in love with GG. I was blown away by the brilliance of their talent, every song incredible. I had the good fortune of seeing them in concert in Massey Hall in Toronto, 3 times and once in London England in 1975 at the Rainbow Theatre. They’ve always been my favourite band.

I agree with Derek on the reunion thing. It is nice to see bands get back together and all that, but rarely does the reunion music capture the same sound and feel of the original. That is why there is a such thing as recordings, so we can experience that feel over and over again. With that being said, sentimentally it is good to see bands do reunions.

Went to a Humble Pie concert in Roanoke VA and had no idea who was opening for them. The lights went down and this announcer with a heavy English accent says "For their first tour of America ...welcome Gentle Giant" Then there was this explosion of music I had never heard before. They were so awesome in concert ...I could care less if Humble Pie performed. They have continued to be one of my all time fav bands ...boundless talent !!

The great problem for those great formations, like GG, is that insistence of weak musical journalists to align them with rock formations, like DT, Yes or similar, when they only tried to develop contemporary chamber music, pushing it's limits, as best as possible. Derek is clear at this point.

Wow....I actually see The Bee Gees Mr Natural on vinyl in the background. They should have played that in the background instead of the slightly obnoxious stuff as loud as Derek speaking...... Yes, I love the Bee Gees and I LOVE Gentle Giant too! Wish I had seen this interview when it aired....but amazing that VH-1 would have had something like this on. Steven Wilson's remix of Freehand is sublime!!!! Long Live Gentle Giant!!!!!

I kinda refuse to believe that they wrote all of Aquiring The Taste only by going into the studio with a click track. I mean that shouldn't be humanly possible, even for Gentle Giant's standard. Yes, while it isn't their most intricate and complicated work, it's still one of their best imo. That just blew me away...

"Give It Back" from the album "Interview" is the song with the strangest rhythm I have ever heard. It was the day of my drafting. Afterwards I strolled a bit through Traunstein. In a record store I was listening to Gentle Giant's latest record, "Interview". I bought the LP and took the train home. I was like hypnotized and listened to the song in my head all day. "Just how much can you spend Give it back in the end And the time of your season Was no use, had no reason ..." There is no definite favorite song from this band, but if I had to choose one, it would be this.
