GIANT! I always know I'll be glad I stayed tuned, DJ NICK!
  12:03am
V Pricelessi:

Giant indeed!
  12:04am
Eric the Half a Bee:

OMG! Portsmouth Sinfonia, Gentle Giant!!! Great (in the former's case, hilariously bad) Brit groups from back in the day!

Minnesota Jeff:

There is a large sea of Prog I have never investigated, and Gentle Giant occupies a large portion of it I feel.
  12:08am
V Pricelessi:

Strangest double bill I ever saw. Dr. Feelgood in support of Gentle Giant.

mariano:

Wow, amazing. At first I thought it was someone karaokeing to Peter Gabriel or early Genesis!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:12am
Tome:

if you like say "selling england by the pound' , "foxtrot", "fragile" , "close to the edge',,, you'll like ie... "Octopus" and "three friends" Gentle Giant is on the same par I always thought anyway,, being a former audio "snob" and prog rock fan,, ^^^ Nice Name !!
  12:14am
V Priceless:

"Free Hand" not too shabby either, IMO.
  12:15am
P-90:

@Free Hand: maybe one of the all-time Top Ten Essential Prog Albums
  12:31am
tom:

like the title barrely breaking even sort of undercuts the good timey vibe

Prashanth:

oh, man! 1982 was the year I crash landed on this planet coz we heard this cool music on our planet. There was but one problem: I landed in India...came across a totally different kind of music, while everything else was either censored or just not available. Glad I am hearing it all now on WoofMoo...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:51am
Andrew Waterloo:

wow.. I think this may be a version of Deadlines I've never heard before.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:54am
Andrew Waterloo:

ah.. the 400 Blows Mix.. I guess it's been awhile :)
