2004年に発売された同タイトルdvdに、アメリカのテレビ局VH1による2005年のインタビューを追加収録した再発盤。収録内容はgerman tv 1974, us tv concert 1975, szene 1974, baroque&roll, photo gallery, vh1 classics hangin' with 2005, replay intro となっている。ボーナスでgerman tv 1974, us tv concert 1975の音声トラックのCDが付いています。

英国を代表するインテレクチュアル・プログレ・バンドでありながら、ライヴパフォーマンスは謎に包まれていた。メンバー全員がマルチプレイヤーという驚愕の楽器持ち替えパフォーマンスにより、難解でありながらもドラマティックな楽曲を見事にライヴで再現している姿が、手ごろな価格で手に入るのは嬉しい。

リージョンフリーですので、国産プレイヤーで再生可能。

Gentle Giant have released audio CD's from most of the important tours they undertook during their 10 year existence. Many would point to the official release of "Playing the Fool", recorded in 1976 during the "Interview" tour as the definitive audio record of the band playing live and for good reason. But, no official live video has surfaced of the band during this tour, or from any tour between 1970 and 1976. Along comes this official DVD finally documenting the band playing live during the "Power and the Glory" tour in 1974, just preceding "Free Hand", and at the peak of their capabilities. You will want to see each band member switch to drums and percussion for the finale of "So Sincere", and see Kerry's insane vibraphone solo during "Funny Ways". Close up footage of frets, keys, and percussion. It's all here. Best video is from German TV in 1974, but the Long Beach, CA footage later in 1975 during the same tour is also of interest, as are the extras listed below, particularly the Szene footage featuring Gary's searing guitar riffs. In short this is a must have document for anyone interested in seeing how this band appeared live to really appreciate how they pulled off such complex and compelling work. For many progressive bands the performance itself is as important as the audio content - to me Gentle Giant is no exception and footage is critical to complete the experience. Forget the CD - there are better. Buy this for the incredible live footage.

Several hours after receiving this riveting disk and following constant play, I just managed to pull myself away for long enough to write about it - and now find myself in "What can I say?" speechless ecstasy! Nothing as inarticulate as "Wow!" will convey the thrill of this; so you'll have to imagine one of those climactic sigh-grunts accompanied by flickering-closed eyes for the gist of the joy this gives me. Words simply can't say how wonderful it is to see and hear Giant "live" again after all these years.

...Oh, all right, then. Gentle Giant were/are the best live band I ever saw/heard, their albums some of the most complex, entertaining and intelligent music of the day - and that still holds. Victims, however - like so many decent (and some less decent) `70s bands - of punk nihilism and Genesis' easier transformation from progressives to crowd-pleasers, Gentle Giant only had a decade in which to enchant us. They produced just under 10 albums in their day and I saw them in concert 4 times, twice in Birmingham, twice Cambridge. As I said, the most engaging, daunting live act ever (the famed multi-musicianship, the complexities, the sheer, driving rock - sublime to witness); their songs probably the most "worth listening to" ever put out by a rock band, truly rewarding to the patient ear and mind. Still listening myself to their albums on a regular basis, always remembering those fantastic shows.

So this disk was approached with all the trepidation of one whose nostalgia-bubble might be painfully pricked, either through failure to capture the class and quality then through the media of now; or the removal of the rose-tint of youthward retrospection when the actuality hits the recollection - er, "disappointment" is what I think I mean (I'm justly reminded at this point of the big ironic neon "pretentious" sign the band took to displaying after certain critical chewings). Anyway, you'll have gathered from my gleeful opening paragraph that we are in territory diametrically opposed to a let-down with this DVD. The smiling starts as soon as you hear the new, but oh-so-typical Intro theme as the menu assembles. And then things just get better and better.

The concert footage is simply superb. The TV studio "Sunday" concert only really misses out in one dimension; and that's the possibly impossible to capture effect of being amongst a thousand or so young people with their hearts and brains on fire and screaming for another madrigal or string quartet (! Yup, that's what you got from a Gentle Giant concert hall gig). But a smaller, quieter audience is more than made up for by the exceptionally good camerawork in and around the band on stage. Really good filming for the day, especially in the German segment, is alone worth the price of the set.

The sound quality is magnificent, too. But, most of all, of course, it's the band, the band! God, they look good: obviously enjoying what they do, at the top of their game and playing their hearts out, smiling, grooving. Just beautiful! That "difficult" reputation their music has sometimes borne evaporates the moment Weathers bashes those drums; the guitar duet between Ray Schulman and Gary Green both sounds exquisite and looks as if they're really into it; the percussion work-out on "So Sincere" is even more powerful than I recall (even though we don't get the twinkly lights in the TV studio setting). Gorgeous, gorgeous stuff. Like their oxymoronic name, they could complement the rock-outs with lyrical, Gentle stuff, too; and on this disk, "Funny Ways" in particular stands out. Just get it! Now!

And if anyone else out there has ever felt the urge to induct younger fans into Giant-appreciation (perhaps even younger wives a little cynical about "all that showing-off stuff from your teens"), well, have no fear; this will definitely do the trick. Yes, in the end, what really delights me about this is that it does a superlative musical outfit the justice they deserve. After all these years, here's the proof: they were (and are) the best - and utterly unmatchable live.
