Haven't heard them in like forever but they entered my mind today for some reason so I posted it here for the kids on this site. These guys were incredibly talented multi-instrumentalists.
Gentle Giant has never left my rotation since about '75. I frequently play this video of a BBC show to show others how insanely talented multi instrumentalists they were.
I'm no youngster - so of course I remember them. I still listen to them too and it's nice to see I'm not alone - and I still have most of their albums on vinyl.
Don't remember but I do remember they started the show at the Yale Bowl back in ahh I don't remember that either, but it was a summer show, hot as fuck, with about a hundred thousand other heads. Little River Band opened, Heart followed, then the beagles,, I mean the Eagles. Joe was in particularly fine form. No coolers allowed inside, but being friendly with security got us free reign over anything we could drink,, outside the gate. Made it thru 6 or 7 coolers then time to rock. Dammm that was a fun day.
Looked em up, Lady + Lonesome Loser were their most played FM tunes.
Watching the giant game yesterday and in some damm commercial, Supertramp is playing in the background. Haven't thought of that band in years. Always liked em

Back when WPRB, Princeton U.
Back when WPRB, Princeton U. was a giant in the Progressive rock Radio scene (late 1970's -> early 1980's) 103.3 FM.
They would play entire Album sides from various British bands, so I got to hear all that stuff.
Fast forward to Summer 2019, and there is a Community Table Garage sale at the Hibernian Lodge parking lot... right near Dog Park.
Picked up a Coleman Propane grill in perfect shape, and the guy with Giant box of CD's said "Gimme Five bucks for the whole thing".
In there were a couple Gentle Giant CD's, and they have been played many times on the Barn Stereo.
