We’re incredibly proud to feature this interview with Derek Shulman, Ray Shulman, John “Pugwash” Weathers, and Gentle Giant mega-fan Mike Keneally.
Steven Wilson’s remix of “Free Hand” is fantastic. It’s a huge improvement over the previous releases. The remix offers a clarity and an energy that I’ve never detected before. Mike and I rave about it in the video.
Even Derek Shulman says he thinks it sounds better than the original.
Take a listen and let us know what you think!

The greatest most criminally underated legendary genius band ever
Some of the greatest musical nights of my life were watching Gentle Giant. Hearing a GG song now literally brings me to tears. Free Hand is without question one of the best prog albums ever (along with In A Glass House, Three Friends, Octopus...oh hell, ALL of them!). What I wouldn't give to go back to 1975 at the Shrine in L.A. just one more time. MAN I love GG!! Thanks for posting this.
Lovely to see John again.
My all time favourite band. They were just too brilliant to be really succesful.
Fell in love - probably shock and awe - with GG on Don Kirschner one Saturday night. Then couldn't get enough. Luckily, they came to INDY with RENAISSANCE not long after. What a LUCKY concert, as I was exposed to another unique Brit Band! The smaller venue - a comfy old theatre - made it all the better!
Derek really likes “Civilian”! So do I man 👍. Hopefully we’ll get that in a remix
When Derek said that his hair was parted from John's hard snare hits I laughed so hard.
It's a sign of the music industry that bands like GG didn't get proper commercial support. Human and musical qualities of these artists count for nothing in this all-profit plague. The best example is the Hall of Shame. Things are BIG that should be small and many of them clap unrhythmically... . ..
it's really exciting to me to hear Ray speaking. I personally think his composing was some of the best music ever, prog or whatever you want to call it. His bass lines, acoustic guitar duets with Gary, his writing approach the most unique in all of prog, those looping contrapuntal sections with the accents on the ands of the beat, his Bartok folksy violin stuff, his great stage presence, I could go on forever.
I'd love to hear from Kerry! One of music's greatest masterminds - and much too modest from what I can tell.
Fabulous webcam interview. Great to see the incomparable Pugwash!
MAGICAL MUSIC AND COMPOSITIONS.....BOUGHT WHEN I WAS 13 IN 1975........NEVER LOSES ORIGINALITY OR CEASES TO AMAZE
Nothing has ever come close to Gentle Giant. I feel so grateful to have been born when I was, and they were there to form a crucial part of my soundtrack.
How amazing to hear from the geniuses many years later. Music is applied mathematics - Gentle Giant is advanced calculus. Not everybody is going to "get it." Saw them live three times in Southern California and they were so incredibly brilliant. Always and always will be - a FAN!
'Octopus' and 'Freehand' were my favorite 'Gentle Giant' albums',in my youth!One of my 'all-time' favorite bands'!So much talent and writing ability.I guess I'm 'old',but I really miss this 'quality' of music,writing and musicianship!These guys' changed 'modern-music',historically.Such a great 'vibe'!💙💯🍻
Watching the top prog band of all time. They stuck together for 10 years. Derek Shulman even admitted some GG albums were not so great..but THAT was GG. Always inventing themselves and progressing. Saw them twice in Ottawa Canada. Power and the Glory tour and Free Hand tour. Great interview and nice to see Pugwash. A powerhouse on drums.
Glad we've got Steven Wilson to inject new life into these amazing albums. Time to go and listen to Gentle Giant again!
From 2019 to 2020 I only listened to GENTLE GIANT no other band.....thank you GG for getting me through covid.
Still humble guys...they still don't know they are genius. Lov' that. I still enjoy Gentle Giant, never left them. Been to a concert in the seventies and heard my ears and looked my eyes out. Thank you guys!
