You might be making reference to the early days? Prior to John Weathers owning the drum seat? The first 2 Gentle Giant titles are more in the KC vain. I'm not sure if any live shows are available at this time. Check with Greg Walker of Synphonic. E-mail him and he will get back to you in timely fashion. He has a vast catalog of Gentle Giant concerts.

'Pantagruel's Nativity' (the studio recording) is on the band's second album  'Acquiring the Taste'.  You refer to a live version on 'Three Friends'.  Is this a bonus track on one of the CD versions of 'Three Friends'? I have the 2008 Repertoire Records re-release of 'Three Friends'(which only contains the original album) so I don't know the version of Pantaguel's....that you are referring to.  Can you tell me which version of 'Three Friends' you have?  I'm quite keen to get hold of it.

I believe he refers to the band Three Friends, a semi-GG reunion band with Kerry, Gary and Malcom Mortimore (plus several other musicians).
