kerry minnear is so underrated... he should be put in the same leagues of wakeman and emerson for sure...
I fully agree. Kerry Minear is a complete keyboard player.
I don’t think he is underrated per se as just not as well known. I’d take Kerry over both. I’d take Patrick Moraz work on Relayer over Wakeman also. And let’s not forget the amazing Ray Manzerick of the Doors. To each his own of course.
Absolutely true
Gentle Giant never reached the heights that Yes and ELP did, so of course Minnear isn't going to be as celebrated
The guy is an insane keyboard player and plays 5 other instruments to boot. Phenomenal musician.
God bless the cameraman that centered his shot on Kerry's hands...
I hate all this close up stuff !!! You can tell the film is not made by musicians.
Everybody in this band is extraordinary. I have listen to these guys for 50 years, and they impress me more each time I listen to them. I don't think the guitar player or the drummer get as much love as the other members, but they too are exceptional players. They both fit the band like a glove, and of course they all do. No weak spots in this band. What a band !!
Exactly, that's the funny thing with prog music, all of the members of a group are fucking geniuses at their instrument. So literally the genius of a certain members might overshadow that of another musical genius that happens to play another instrument even though they are all unbelievably good.
Rest in peace, Ray, you absolute legend.
Kerry Minnear is an extraterrestrial and every band member, an astonishing virtuoso
Kerry Minnear is the most creative keyboard player of all time.
Rick Wakeman would like to have a word with you.
And Vangelis
Agreed: Vangelis and Wakeman don't hold a candle....
Jukka Gustavson of Wigwam is good, too.
Mike Ratledge would like to have a word or two with you.
They wrote such unusual music yet their melodies play in my head because while being different and interesting they are also catchy!
You totally explained it.
And so funky to boot!
Trippy too, love the geometric synaesthesia
Yes very distinctive.
I absolutely agree, they are sooooo fucking odd, but still incredibly amazing
how can you go wrong with a drummer like that? freeeeakin awesome all 'round
Yes I agree: a very rock solid drummer, with GREAT technique! I think he uses a Moeller stroke and I think that helps him get a lot of sound out of his drums.
I love how he is so into it and feels the rhythm, his whole person is loving it and nailing it! John Weathers!
@@dbc7772011 he started out just a basic 4/4 drummer until he joined GG lol.
@@Eleventhearlofmars I think that really helped him, and them. His more straight ahead, in the pocket style is usually incongruous for such complex music, but thanks to Ray Shulman's bobbing and weaving funky lines on the bass, it works perfectly. He ties the whole thing together. And the way he just absolutely pounds his drums into submission with such sheer joy is awesome to watch. Especially in the A's uniform. I also love his delicacy on vibraphone.
@@alvarhanso6310what you just said is 1000% correct
Holy Crap....
that just kicked me back to my early teens at about 8 - 9 o`age, when my second Stepfathers Bro, a complete Junky had great fun in his Chamber short sleeved by minus 15 celsius, surounded by several amazing hot gals in there minniskirts giggling and rolling about loughing listening to such "then" weird Sound....
that was about 1965 - 66
just really FLASHED me completely away again😇🥸😎
"Experience" amazing masterpiece from the summer of my years.
I've been pondering why GG were better than Yes. I think it's because they weren't afraid to rearrange their material for the live performance - the audiences were never sure what they were going to get, making every show indispensable. Yes set everything in stone, making every performance perfect yet interchangeable. Plus, GG danced to their own music. That gives you a hint right there.
You just couldn't fall asleep with GG. There are so damn interesting, to listen to!
And vocally, GG is like no other progressive band.
Graham Exton the extremely technical aspects of their music would have offered an excuse for a serious, focused if staid and stationery performance but they made it look easy dancing and generally having a laugh. For me, that was part of their charm!
That's debatable, but I think both bands were fantastic.
They weren’t better just different, I love all the progressive bands from that era because they all brought immense music and talent to the table. The English prog scene started bands from other countries to be inspired like focus and PFM from Holland and Italy respectively.
Gentle Giant is utterly amazing. I imagine the prog gods of the time being the first ones in line for the next GG album, and were probably their biggest fans. They are just on a whole different level, and they played with such joy.
Gentle Giant could really groove, few of their prog peers could.
Experience was funky before funky was a thing
One of THE BEST and sadly under rewarded $$$ bands ever. Saw them for the first time in the mid 70s at SUNY Plattsburgh. They blew so many minds that night with their stunning musicianship. Just too good for this world I guess.
This was their black (album) cover signifying that it is heavy (Black Sabbath) and the audience should turn up the dial on the amp. I listened to this music when just a teenager and felt quite sophisticated. It took me five years to later find my own album as it ended up becoming an import. Apparently they didn't believe it would ever become commercially viable.
One of my fav tunes. That bass tone is sick.
Huge Yes and Rush fan, but Ray is very underappreciated as a top notch bass player (and probably violin as well).
The best prog band you never heard of. Very underappreciated imo. Love GG!
You know a band is special when you actually laugh out loud at how good they are (the riffs from 2:18 and 6:22 in particular)
Dude, YES. I've been obsessing over the time changes in all the songs from In a Glass House. That riff at 6:22. Smooth as butter.This is the best ensemble of humans playing music ever. Derek's vocal's rule.
You're the first person I've found who also considers laughter sometimes the highest form of praise where music is concerned. I recall seeing Genesis in a small club and hearing Watcher of the Skies for the first time. I was cackling with sheer delight and amazement.
Stephen Quinn absolutely. My instinct it to laugh when something is so good that I almost can’t take it. Igorrr’s new album also did that for me
@@schpleeb you talking about spirituality and distortion? I dig that album myself.
@@Eleventhearlofmars yes, although I still think Savage Sinusoid is his zenith
Even in the genre of prog, full of wondrous technique, ponderous changes of key, tempo and dynamic, and preposterous lyrics, this stuff is just so towering and profound. Really wish I'd seen them back in the day.
ChrisHenSongs when I saw them, I and my band mates had been listening to them on record for a couple of years. This was before they played in the states. Our anticipation to see them couldn't have been greater. Even with all that anticipation, they floored us, surpassing any expectation we had.
Probably one of the most talented bands of all times I saw them live 3 times what an experience
One thousand likes.... This is wonderful! Best progressive rock band of all time.... GG forever....
that's almost nothing for internet standards, but Gentle Giant were indeed a great prog band.
Agree. .saw them front row 'Missing Piece' tour.
All these guys were Gentle Giant. The whole was so much better than the sum of the parts.
What can I say. This is amazing. One of the best bands ever. Very original.
8:27 until the end is musical genius. They look like they are loving the groove so much. What an incredibly talented unique band.
You're right about the band loving what they are doing. In those days we were going to a CONCERT. Nowadays we are going to a SHOW. There is a big difference.
dbc7772011 to see them live (I did when they opened for Tull), was an absolute mind blowing experience. The very best live band I have ever seen and I have seen Chick Corea several times and others of that ilk!
With such a bass/drum rythm, it's impossible to stay still.
And then the guitar and keyboard....and the voice in the end to top it all.
Impossible not to fall in the groove.
All'epoca, ma temo anche oggi, criminalmente sottovalutati
Probably the best live band (as a musical experience) I have ever seen. Loved the way they would rotate their instruments , and 5 men on one drumkit had to be seen to be believed !! Free Trade Hall Manchester a number of times during the 1970's, Ah the memories!! We were so lucky to experience those times.
I completely agree, Minnear is a genius
6:14 that bass though ♡♡♡♡
Seems like most Gentle Giant songs are journeys through several different musical genres
And they master every one of them!
I believe they learned their superb showmanship from their days as Simon Dupree and the Big Sound. They all seem to enjoy being on stage.
Very Fantasic .....Gentle Giant the best Band forever....
unsurpassed bunch of absolute genius !
Gary Green rocking out on a telecaster love it!!!
this bands energy is insane!
Unbelievable. So much fun, so much mastery and mischief.
Such technically challenging music and yet packed with emotion thanks to the players' ability to play with such dynamics together. What a band of brothers!
Gentle giant and van der graaf generator are the two most talented prog bands of the 70s for sure, king crimson and yes are a very close second, I'd say elp, then genesis and then rush i guess
My favorite part of this song is at 7 minutes 20 seconds! They Rock so hard!
These guys were in a class by themselves. Such fun to watch and listen to.
oh my god that bass tone hnnnngh
2:20 That Tele has such a nice bite!
Gawd I remember being in a space just like this . Incredible moment
Such an all-virtuose band!!!
So Wonderful!-So thankful I SAW THEM LIVE!!!!!!!
2 excellent songs from my fave GG album
Great that the full show has been split into separate Numbers. I namely wanted to show my friend THIS SONG, performed in concert!! Fantastic musicianship and singing... and improvising - where possible ;-)
This band never fails to amaze.
My favorite part of this medley has always been the riff Gary Green plays at 6:22.
Me as well ❤ love this part ❤
Absolutely remarkable.
I really love this song and miss not having the album. Having this video up on youtube is a consolation, especially since some crook uploaded a very shoddy version on the live concert version, by the album name "In'terview In Concert." I apologize for this rant, but I purchased it from iTunes and to my dismay discovered the recording is missing parts, as well as sounding distorted, perhaps ripped from RUclips. Anyway, I've never seen these videos of GG and am enjoying it!!
In this awesome footage you can see the hands of god (on the keyboards).
Absolutly sure, Gentle Giant plays in a own league.
I would sacrifice so much just to see these guys live!!!!!!!!
you would love I DID!!!!!!!!!!
+Jeff Smart If I had a time machine, the first and probably only thing I would do is become one of their roadies or play trombone with them
What an experience..I have one ..from that night...
Experience, que descarga de energía tan brutal
Musical genius.
At the beginning, chucking out at the Red Lion Pub!
Amazing!!!
very good....................................
This is so amazing. This whole live show is amazing.
una de mis bandas favoritas y una de las mejores del rock progresivo XD
Sem dúvidas, meu caro amigo
Fantastic!!!The best in the world!!
Such a great band ,love it!
Otimo !!!!
great.
The glass breaking at the beginning scares the shit out of some of peope in the audience
SO GOOD!
Pff!! !!! it´s great!!
Numbers One.
avanti 1000 anni !
Great recording. Too bad there were so few camera shots over on Gary and Ray's side
Rock solid.
John Weathers i like your cut G
Haha
I wonder if Kerry Minear was ever invited to join Yes after Wakeman or Moraz left. He would have been a great fit in the Relayer era. Either way I'm glad he stayed where he was.
The àlbum Glass House..haunts me
@ericleonardson most of the LP's have been re-released and remastered for their 35th Anniversary, including the one this comes from called In A Glass House...
Raaaaayyyyy
genial!!
At one point-- who are the black figures in background? So finely figured a composition and played to perfection, an in hot God still looks down.....
9:25 GODLIKE
Aw they didn't do my favorite part: "All thoughts are scarred with the prison cell and freedom seems like a freedom's hell."
Cameraman should have filmed Ray, the brilliant bassist, in The Runaway, during one of his best bassines. Disapointing.
E.Ce vam- spus.Acum va trimit in lume sa dezlegati de pacat si sa propovaduiti invatatura mea de viata din belsug si...fara intreruperi...
Wow.
Everyone jumped at the glass breaking.
4:24 pure magic
It surely is. And I have always absolutely loved Derek's vocal line that accompanies this starting at 4:47. The whole thing is just magical.
🖤🖤🖤✌🏼
Kerry Minnear doing DJ scratch with a moog ...do I need to say more?
they are unallawed to play anymore - schulman's lawyers made sure they either pay back all royalties recieved or not perform any of the GG songs ... He sure turned out to be exactly the "Mr. Class And Quality" of the three friends...
I thought Kerry was given the rights to the GG catalogue
Sem noção a Musica da Gentle Giant! Não tem acorde, so solo o tempo inteiro! XCELENT!
This is not hyperbole; GG is the greatest band in the universe.
Frenetic Zetetic agreed!
is my imagination or one o read Derek Shulman became a producer in the US and he actually founded Roadrunner Records?
He ran the label in the late '90s.
Incredible! so he is the boss of one of my fav bands from my youth, like slipknot and killswitch engage, this is awesome.
Sonzeira
No Outside Session Musicians Required! !
(Thanks For Your Inquiry)
prog bliss
The saxophone is inaudible.
A bit late to do something about it now.
@@Meddled damn
podrias subir cogs in cogs de este mismo dvd.. gracias.
4:23
I just wish that they had broken info stuff live
00:36 - He's looking like " We will f.. your brain out "
Why can't I hear the sax?
3:02 the mic is off, man... No one is hearing that sax...
