New Gentle Giant DVD

Anybody hear about the new GG DVD "GG at the GG" heres the info from their site:

New! The official release of the famous BBC "SIGHT & SOUND" concert from January 1978, at the Golders Green Hippodrome. Audio comes from the BBC Radio 1 Simulcast. There is also a commentary track by Gary, John, Derek, Kerry & Ray!

Extras include TV film from "The Old Grey Whistle Test" in 1974, and promo video footage from 1976 and 1978.

We've included a bonus audio CD of the concert and "Old Grey Whistle Test."

There is also Super 8 footage from April 1975, filmed in Munster, Germany by Martin Buntrock with audio added by Klaus Buntrock.

As always, Gary has provided a superb gallery of pics, plus some live shots & memorabilia.

Finally, Kerry has composed new music for the intro and menus, with drumming by John "Pugwash" Weathers taken from multitracks provided by our old friend Dan Bornemark.

I have most of this burned as it was a circulation DVD bootleg traded amoung traders, i recieved a copy of this but i will be buying this release also.

well the bootleg version that is probbably being remastered is probbably a B/B+ rating.

hopefully they wont overdue it with remastering, if any though/

^It does!

BBC Radio 1 "In Concert" session no. 169, recorded in the Hippodrome, Golders Green, London, on 5 January 1978.

"Hello and welcome to Radio 1's [Sight and Sound] In Concert which you can hear on 247 metres on the Medium wave, in stereo on the Radio 2 VHF network, between 88 and 91 MegaHertz, and, [of course, you can see it on BBC2 in colour. And, as a special first for tonight's show, we're broadcasting in Quadraphonic so, those of you that have got a BBC H-matrix quadraphonic decoder, well.. you're very lucky and if you've got four ears you're luckier still!] It's also a first because tonight's guests haven't been on the show before and they also haven't played in England for the last two and a half years so it definitely is quite an occasion so would you welcome, please, with their last single, which was called 'Two Weeks in Spain', Gentle Giant!"

As  official BBC concert footing I suppose it's good quality especially when remasterd

YESSSSSSSS!!!!

I knew they had to release that concert eventually! This is gonna be an essential release, chaps. They were firing on all cylinders when this concert was taped. Forgive the Missing Piece material, this performance is amazing.

Like i said, the circulating dvd of this show i recivied wasnt very bad with the quality so remasted this can be an amazing show. im going to buy this one anyways to have this version.

This dvd will be VERY awesome.

Actually Betcha Thought We Couldn't Do It (2:38) is very well performed and equals the quality of the performance on The Missing Piece

The only disappointment is Memories Of Old Days (7:14) where the performance is not as good as the recording

As far as TMP goes. It was one of the finest (progressive) pop recordings ever. A recording Genesis Duke era or YES 90125 (read million sellers) could ever dream of making.

Play it for lovers of pop rock to show how this music should be done
