  Progheads who have seen Gentle Giant on a live stage can say that they have witnessed an important part of progressive rock music history. This band mixed all kinds of styles in their music which was certainly unique in the seventies. And still is. Several bands nowadays are influenced by them and try to copy their typical sound. Gentle Giants first official DVD ""Giant On The Box"" is a two hour long DVD and is a perfect addition to any collection. The largest part on this disc is the concert the band gave in a Brussels film studio in 1974. It was broadcasted on German TV as ""Sunday Concert"". Fifty minutes long progheaven. Most important is that it shows how awesome the band played their material live on a stage. A lot different from the way they did it on their records. The musicians invented a lot of extra's tunes which were well integrated. It showed how great the musicians were on their instruments. Instruments which were not that often used in rock music such as violins recorders saxophones vibraphones and cellos. Enjoy their famous percussion extravaganza. All members are involved and it is certainly a visual highlight. Also their playing on the recorders is something we hardly can see nowadays. This DVD also contains some new music written and performed by Kerry Minnear himself. Great stuff that sounds a lot like the band that made history with their unique sound. A sound that always will be remembered as their sound. As an extra bonus DVD features a CD with the soundtrack taken from the ""Sunday Concert"". The whole package is certainly a must for all fans. Most of all those of you who never could see them perform live. This document is a real treasure which brought the golden age of progressive rock music one more time to live.
