Agreed: - Kerry was the best keyborder of his time and a very fine singer. Unfortunately most of his vocal parts were not performed live (except Funny Ways). - Ray was the best Bass-player of his time and a great multi-instrumentalist - Gary was IMHO the most underrated guitarist; transforming those composition into his guitar tracks was close to pefection --> this band was unique and never exceeded by any other band
I saw a Giant concert in NYC in the 1970's at the Beacon theater during the Free Hand tour! Minnear played a xylophone solo & he just kept playing faster & faster without losing the melody! It was to thsi day the most incredible thing I I've ever seen at a rock concert! Mind blowing!
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.
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.
"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)
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!
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.
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).
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.
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. ..
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
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
The Steven Wilson remix of FREE HAND is available now: fanlink.to/GentleGiantFreeHand
just purchased it.
@@brucybabyy7355 Back one year on still listening ? lol
@@KT123Caton yessir!
Kerry Minnear is by far the greatest genius rock music has ever produced.
And Ray.
Agreed:
- Kerry was the best keyborder of his time and a very fine singer. Unfortunately most of his vocal parts were not performed live (except Funny Ways).
- Ray was the best Bass-player of his time and a great multi-instrumentalist
- Gary was IMHO the most underrated guitarist; transforming those composition into his guitar tracks was close to pefection

Yeah, Kerry Minnear way up there, but gotta go with Fripp!
My first and favourite GG album, and this is just one of the great songs on it. Nice videos BTW
I have never heard counterpoint of this complexity and taste in rock music.These guys were masters.
AMEN!!!!!!
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.
Alter Charmeur, I AM WITH YOU...The Shulman Brothers, Mortimore,GREEN, Minnear, Weathers the drummer, ...what an incredible, fantastic, unique BAND
Brilliant Musicians
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!
The Steven Wilson treatment REALLY shines on this song. What a difference!
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
One of the best prog songs ever. It deserves the finest treatment possible.

@@marcvdm1111 Zappa? I was commenting on Gentle Giant
@@marcvdm1111
Hey Mark...Zappa rated and really dug GG...
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 musical ability of this band is amazing 50 years later.
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 Giant it's like a drug. I can't stop listening!
Amazing bass
i've been listening to this for over 50 years now. and it still makes my hairs stand up. what a live show.
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...!
Hail to the Giant!
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!
Gentle Giant: to know and to love!
One of the best tracks ever recorded
Yes!!!! Never gets old!!! Even better live!!!
Wonderful !
Wow, great improvement done by Steven Wilson. Sounds brand new. All voicing is now crystal clear. Bravo.
Masterpiece
One word : MASTERPIECE
My ears. My ears have been blessed again. This time for all times.
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.
Absolutely awesome!Titans of Prog...
Another work of excellence made excellent all over again.
Gentle Giant and Steven Wilson....perfect match !
One of my favorite songs of all time even better live! Great remix by Steven!
I scared the shit out of more than one of my school friends, playing this album when we were high - or tripping!
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)!

Thanks for this .Brings back good memories .Seen them in Newcastle in 76/77 so long ago.
A big love of my youth! Gentle Giant forever!
Now, always, forever the biggest: "WOW!!!"
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?
Magnifique !
Kerry's voice was so soothing

Excelente mezcla felicitaciones
Excellent work on the video and remix.....one of the finest songs I have ever heard. Thank you!
This video is perfect. It complements and understands the music, the band, the time.
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.
Really nice remix! Shows you how well it was recorded the first time around.
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. ..
Well that's my mind made up, bluray purchase on payday incoming!
right, I didn't even know he released another Gentle Giant
Excelente mezcla de voces ! Felicitaciones !!!
Asombrosa banda, me encanta su música, saludos para mi amigo π c:
Eso es todo carnal B)
The images are trippy, ver nice work! but i prefer listening to it with my eyes shut. It's so much better
Amazing visual interpretation of a sensational song. Magnificent production. Thanks very much. I’ll watch it often.
Nobody can touch these guys. They might be aliens.
trop fort steven....
Great video, very vibrant! The music speaks for itself, excited to hear it properly when my own copy arrives! :)
The pinnacle just gained a bit more height. So much fun!
Musicality at its best
Hi I Recommend an Indie song called 'looking into the mirror' by Robert Nix
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
I wonder how many high school madrigal groups have attempted this?
Before 10CC I"m not in love,before Queen Bohemian Rhapsody there was Gentle Giant On reflection!
Awesome band
Another Show....Long Live GG

Love this song! but not anymore than I did on the original recording.
-what kind of music do you hear?
-well...
Hi I Recommend an Indie song called 'looking into the mirror' by Robert Nix
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
We have at least the chance to listen to THIS. Think about other born in different times or spaces that haven't got opportunity.
Great fugue!
Ай да Уилсон..
They are for ever THE BEST!
What a pity they separate them!
Hi I Recommend an Indie song called 'looking into the mirror' by Robert Nix
They separated themselves, bro.
Counterpoint heroes!
wow
This song definitely top ten for GG
Il prog in persona;great gentle giant
