Gentle Giant na DVD

Takže jsem se konečně dočkal, a dnes spatřím Gentle Giant na DVD. Jedná se o záznamy z koncertů z poloviny 70.let, kdy kapela byla na svém uměleckém vrcholu. Tato skupina patří mezi nejoriginálnější kapely všech dob a všichni její hráči jsou špičkovými multiinstrumentalisty.
vřele doporučuji !!!! *****!!!!!
popis DVD :
A favorite in underground prog-rock circles, Gentle Giant never quite broke through to the mainstream due to their unpredictability from album to album, and the fact that their experimental, envelope-pushing music often remained just outside the realm of commercial viability. All this only serves to make them more interesting in retrospect, and today they are recognized for having made some of the most interesting and progressive music of the 70s, combining rock, classical, blues, and avante-garde music with medieval, baroque vocals, and incorporating more than 30 instruments, to create a sonic experience like nothing else. This release features material from the height of the band's career in 1974-5, as they were poised on the brink of fame. Footage is included from concerts in Germany and Long Beach, plus rare television clips of interviews, and a photo gallery from member Gary Green's personal collection. Tracks include "Cogs in Cogs," "The Runaway," "Features From Octopus," "Experience," "Advent of Panurge," and "So Sincere."
