Gentle Giant “Just the Same” Music Video (2021 Remix by Steven Wilson) 

the greatest most criminally underated band ever

Gentle Giant is the most hidden of hidden gems of the 70s prog scene.

Noah Shulman, such a talent!

The proof that pop/rock can be more than fashion, posing, hype and marketing. These guys could play their instruments and compose substantial pieces that stand the test of time. And, for anyone fortunate enough to see them, they enjoyed it and it was fun too! (PS. during the verses of Just The Same, the bass and drums are playing in 6/4 while the piano, voice, and guitar are playing in 7/4).

Gentle Giant meets Terry Gillian via Noah Shulman!

One of the best bass performances of all time. Ray, what a player.

There are a select amount of small groups of truly original musicians, and Gentle Giant is one of those groups. They changed my life, and like many, many others, elevated the taste and understanding of music. We all enjoy music, but this group actually taught us about classical, jazz, fusion, and progressive music through rock and roll. Their recent resurfacing is a true inspiration.

Just the Same, one of the greatest intros ever! The finger snapping, the piano, the guitar, Derek’s voice, all unique and inter played so well.

The GIANT never sleeps , GIANT FOREVER YOUNG

Fantastic news! I hope "In A Glass House" will get the Steven Wilson upgrade as well in the near future...

Is it possible to make a masterpiece still better ? A: Yes, it is.

This group seemed to escape many during the time. It wasn't for any lack of talent. I'm happy that they are probably more popular today than back in the beginning. The cream will always rise, even though it takes 50 years.

Even on my crappy phone speakers I can tell Steven has once again found the heart of the music.

What can I say about this elixir? Zappa was right about this group. They hit the scene and suddenly they were gone. Good to see an emergence of this great music. Only saw them once in concert. My loss. They seemed to disappear.

In my mind, three well-known English bands were at the top tier of mainstream Prog: These guys, Crimson, and Yes. They're the ones that checked all of the boxes.

I usually don't like the Steven Wilson mixes, but the heavier bass and drums here works.

Sin dudas vanguardistas en una fusión de distintos tipos de ritmos básicamente la clásica. En el mismo pedestal de Génesis (con Peter Gabriel) Emerson,Lake and Palmer, Focus y Premiata Forneria Marconi. Me crié con sus músicas y hoy, para cumplir en unos dias 67 años los sigo escuchando. Música para los oídos,corazón y mente. Saludos desde La Paz, Canelones, Uruguay

Iw was lucky enough to catch them on the Glass House tour. They had a quad sound system. Amazing show!

This is superb in so many ways. I'm amazed i got to be 46 without ever hearing these guys. The music business has always been a fashion parade for idiots while talent is often ignored.

Yeah! That's the sound! Finally the handkerchief is removed from the master! Well done!

Love the imagery of this vid , most underrated prog band ever it fits today decades later, M.T. wha? .

The best most misunderstood progressive Rock band in the history of Rock!

Great remix - it's not often I say that.

Steven Wilson made an excellent remix of that iconic song from Gentle Giant, I love the fact that he started by focussing the whole mix by letting the natural bass drum sound and that equally perfect bass tone breathing more naturally together, making that listening experience from that virtuoso's band, playing that perfect song score even more thrilling; The animation collage by Noah Shulman is interesting and fun to watch...!!

I have tears of happiness streaming down my face. This is so perfect

This music is brilliant, like all GG's songs btw. And the animation is excellent too! Noah Shulman certainly watched Monty Python!

Great video. Just right. The ultimate British prog band IMO.

Amazing musicians. They deserve much more recognition and praise.

Almost every gentle giant composition is like a journey on train to many different foreign lands!

See me, what I am, what I was, what I'll be Hear me, understand that I'm not what you see Take this, take the man, middle term, common me Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do Nothing more and nothing less than you Read no thoughts I didn't think myself Just the same as anybody else Make me someone else, put me up on a stand Something that I don't really want on my hands Use me, idolise all you can understand Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do Nothing more and nothing less than you Read no thoughts I didn't think myself Just the same as anybody else Change it, what you think, what you thought, what you say Look for something more than you sought yesterday I don't want to be part of your life today Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do Nothing more and nothing less than you Read no thoughts I didn't think myself Just the same as anybody else

My favorite group of all times... mention also to italian groups like Banco and PFM...

Loved them from the first moment I heard them early/mid 70's....saw them live in Chicago & even more impressed with their multiple instrument ability!!!

its like a thin sonic blanket was taken off the whole album ,Brilliant!

easily the most important band in prog.

I'm a drummer and play along with this often, it's so much fun to play along with the GGs and all these wonderful musicians! From CA, USA.

I found Giant when I was in high school and I’m still listening to them fifty years later.

That's my 'Jam!'👍✌️

Ray on that bass… beautiful tone.

This music fills my cranium to the gills.

All you need is Gentle Giant!

Awesome!!! GG is one of the best prog-rock bands ever. Terrific musicians.

Gentle Giant: to know and to love!

Great Video! G.G. is one of the three most important bands to come out of the U.K., LOVE IT.

Been listening to this for twenty years, and I still can't figure out the lock. Another comment on here helped me with this.

Beautifully done production starring Ray's hand as the lead hand.

Since 1972 they have been my favorite band! Amazing what all they did!

Superb! Steven Wilson gaves clarity to the mix. It seems it was recorded today! The music, of course, is amazing. Gentle Giant is one of the best ever! Congrats to Noah Shulman for the very nice clip!

My always favorite band...

Great song and music...thanks guys!

This is amazing. The level of composition and musicianship is unrivalled. This is an example why mankind is not complete trash. Thank you so much, this music sustains me.

That bass! Damn!

I saw the "Free Hand" tour back in 1975 in Philly.

Masterpiece of progresive rock🎹🎸😊🌌🌟🌈

Spetacular. Great Gentle Giant.

Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant

Acá en México tambien hace aire !!!! acá tambien es de culto Gentle Giant !!! , uno de los pilares del Rock Progresivo Ingles , grandiosos todos sus albums !!

The Steve Wilson remixes really improved the sound. And great never before seen videos too.

The most Gentle Giant thing I've ever seen! Thank you, Noah!

My first gentle giant album was aquiring the taste. My first impression was king crimson, and yes had a baby, and then somehow, Genesis(Peter Gabriel era), and elp got mixed in there, too, although Greg lake was in KK , and elp, and that was my first impression of GG, they sounded like all those other early 70s English prog bands, but they had these parts! Little bits and pieces that made them like none of the others! That's why GG is probably my favorite early 70s eng prog rock band! Oh, yeah...I was about 14 or15 when I heard my first GG song, ever. There was a radio station in az called kstm that played deep trax from classic rock mostly between mid ,60s to mid,late 70s. That station was the shit! I mean, they played frank Zappa! That's how awesome that station was! Anyway, the first ever gentle giant song I ever heard was Wreck. I turned that shit all the way up, and fukkin waited for the end of the song, so I could hear the dj, tell me what the fuck I was listening to. That's when I fell in love with the mighty giant! And actually, to this day, I still think the main riff in wreck is very early Jethro Tull-ish! Anyway, gawdz bless the gentle giant s! Wherever they are! How bout a comeback album?... just for shitsandgiggles! No, seriously!

LOVE the wonderful musical jigsaws that are from the Gentle giant catalog...and i love this video! :) , Pete

I am here ... now ! Gentle Giant !!! Fabulous video ... please one more ... one more ! :)

Well, Noah Shulman, blessed creator of multimedia excellence, your outstanding video is just “eat up”, as we say, with Americana. It warms my heart. Thank you.

Truly outstanding mix on this. It sounds like it was recorded yesterday.

Soo Pythonesque. Love it!

Fabulous music and video, thanks, good time for you

Excelente

THANK YOU, RAY!!

Great video for an already great song.

Oh this makes me happy.

From another planet. A much better planet.

RIP Ray

Excellent video, for a brilliant song. The remix is fantastic too. Minnear's parts sound better than ever, as does Ray. Now I really want to hear what Mr Wilson can do with Acquiring the Taste. Please make it happen GG.🙏

YESSSSSS

Giant will for always remain unsurpassed.

What a fantastic video you’ve made….that took imagination and brains 💥🤝👏

1967 Smoky Times thank you my Lord!!!! 🙌🏼

TOTALLY LOVE IT.....THANKS STEVEN.

My fav album with Acquiring the Taste. I pre-ordered my red vinyl copy already! My very first GG vinyl. I will shed tears when I hear Kerry''s voice in His Last Voyage...

Rather good

I thank God I had a friend turn me on to this amazing band back in the 80's!!!

Great Imagination Noah, fantastic

A bunch of nerdy guys, no show off egocentric front man stealing the limelight, not your average up-all-night debauched rockers. Just utterly fantastic musicians each hugely talented in his own right, unselfishly interplaying with each other. Will we ever see their like again? Come on Kerry - shake off that writer's block. We love your stuff man.

It's almost a pop song for Gentle Giant! 😁 Great to hear SW's remix of this LP!

The Schulman brothers were intense

Pure genius. Gentle Giant lives on. Many thanks to Mr. Steven Wilson.

Effin' Aye!

This is amazing

Best video I have seen in ages! Great song too!

Exciting news! Looking forward to it 👀

Looking forward to this.

Che band! Che talenti! Qui siamo di fronte a dei mostri sacri di virtuosismo, di inventiva!

LOVE IT!

Bravo!

Senior callin' thank you for that.

AMAZING!

This is clearer than crystal.

Magnífico!

Bloody great.

Q: Mr Wilson, what part did you consider the most to highlight in this new mix version ? A : Yes
