If I were a billionaire, I would personally subsidize a fabulous world tour by this band, and who cares if it makes money. Bring Gentle Giant's music to the world!!

I know Japanese audiences are reputed to be polite, but I got the impression that they were savouring every single note, and didn't want to miss the slightest bit. They waited until the last note had completely gone before applauding.

Strange how it was always the Japanese who had that quick and subtle ear for these types of hidden jewels in music. Thankfully, I bought a lot of GGs music from Japanese reprints back when a lot of it was going out of print before the demise of the LP and before the advent of the CD and the internet market.

So many beautiful tunes (strangely beautiful tunes). GG is a band with which one should acquaint themselves. They are lovely as are these gentlemen who against what I am sure are financial uncertainties, march on to play this music! I always found it atrocious that musicians the quality of which these are, had to spend the better part of their lives doing something other than their musical craft. I guess that is the price true art exacts from its' practitioners!

Oh God, please give me a billion dollars---Then I can personally hire these guys to play for their fans all over the world. And while I'm at it, I would do the same for Hatfield and The North, Automatic Man (1st album), Sopwith Camel ("Miraculous Hump"), and a few other fantastic bands whose talent went far beyond their success. I would use my money to make the world a better musical place!!! I give my word!!

Gave me chills. This is what 3F is all about, for me; giving this engaging, rewarding music a live voice where it was previously impossible. So much to love in this underrated song from an overlooked album: the two-line guitar intro, the one-note (samba) piano rhythm among all the other rhythms, the gorgeous melodies of the interlocking vocals, the "brass" section, the contrasts and counterpoint, the piano solo...This ought and deserves to be widely heard.
