Big Gentle Giant nut here.

Had the chance to meet Gary Green at NEARFest last year.

Coolest guy ever!

 

[Strung Up]

Haven't heard that in a while. Since everyone seemed to be having a count-fest on stage (Free Hand), I couldn't help but join in. Wackiest 16/8 (?) I've heard in a 'pop' tune. Bet rehearsals were fun.

 

[fakeox]

Awesome.

 

[Strung Up]

Good gravy! Into 14/8 verses at 1:39? ("Damn you, McLaughlin!")

Wackiest 16/8 (?) . . .

 

[Manny Scott]

I love this band. They were just as good live as in the studio.

Hey, does anybody know what's up with the GG reunion band, Three Friends? I heard that Kerry Minnear had left. Pity.

 

[skydog]

Thanks for posting. Saw them in Chicago at The Auditorium around that time.

They're supposed to headline NEARFest this year.

I saw GG about that time. I think it was at the Academy of Music in NYC....They were tight as crap. You could tell they knew each of their own moves, even if they improvised

 

[Kenny D]

Big GG fan here!

Awesome band.

Fav prog band next to Kansas.

Saw them around the time too. I think there was another band Renaissance on the bill too, or maybe I saw them separately.

You can see why punk had to rise.
How could you get better than these guys?

LOL Never saw it that way.

There had to be a way out, you know.

great band-so talented. Two weeks in Spain and Memories of old days are a couple of my faves from them.
