Gentle Giant play Semi-Reunion Gig-Sussex,UK!

The 3 Friends gig (last night) was the best prog gig I have seen for 17 years and I've seen all the greats since 71. Totally amazing.

Big jealousy - just got their debut album - you're only a newbie, but I hate you already

Me too, but as of yet no takers! I am absolute gutted not to be going to be honest, consoling myself with the fact that I am going to see Diagonal in Liverpool on Friday night :)

I wish that I could help you out but the plane ticket alone makes it restrictive on my part.

As GG were my favourite band of the '70s, this does my old heart good to see. If I were still in the UK, with 5 less children and the bank balance of when I was footloose and fancy free, I'd do all that I could to be there. Shoreham-by-Sea seems a little low-key, but perhaps suits a first time out. I expect it is near where one/all live? Not a Shulman brother in sight but I think that very unlikely ever, so Three Friends is pretty good (hopefully excellent). I read somewhere a while back that Kerry Minear was giving piano lessons to kids in Birmingham (West Midlands), which made me kind of sad, but I guess the reality of life after a modicum of success 30+ years ago. The recorded evidence of his and Gary Green's talent is better than a thousand words I could write, so I wish them luck, await reports and hope the project moves into the future as Malcolm suggested.
