Safe Mode: On
Gentle Giant - Cogs In Cogs/Proclamation Live 1974

Progressive rock at its most indulgent.



This is from a Belgian studio recording, with audience, aired on German
ZDF television in 1974. It can be found on a DVD entitled Giant On The Box.



These guys are musicians' musicians. When I was a kid I listened to
their stuff in utter, slack-jawed amazement, wondering how five guys
could create so much sound. Then I would return to my guitar and somehow
avoid smashing it to bits.



One imagines middle-ages England--lutes and troubadors, castles and trebuchets. Check out the albums Octopus, Interview, The Power And The Glory, among others.
