Also , is it strange or not that i was downloading Frank Zappa music on frost wire , then went on youtube to find out song titles from "SOFA" , ran into that GG clip , decided to share it , only to find out that there will be some gentle giant music being played LIVE tomorrow night in Quebec City ???   WOW  

It is a message...you were meant to see that show.

So was I but sadly not possible.  

Check this out ! That ' s where they ' ll be playing !!! The rottendog SDB  will end up on the Xmas list ...

2007

, after further renovations at a cost of 23 million which began in the summer of 2004, Salle Raoul-Jobin

is inaugurated.
  
The sound of this new hall is now deemed "almost perfect".

The acoustic insulation outside reduces ambient noise to a background noise of 20 dBA.

Through the use of various techniques of sound

, the room allows for optimal control (2.2 seconds or less) of the reverb

without echo

Please give us a report on the show!

Frickin ROCKED! They played all the great GG songs like Alucard, Why Not, Knots and Edge of Twilight. Very cool. A few things from their most recent album as well, which was excellent. I even bought the album. It was a very intimate show, and Gary Green even went in the crowd after the show and shook hands to whoever was there. I got lucky and stayed a bit. I got to say hi to him and thank him for inspiring many of us to pick up a musical instrument.  

... and I got him to sign my Gentle Giant CD.

They did start late though. Thank god I had my laptop. God bless aircards.

Great Ian ! I ' m glad you had a good time ...  

As for myself , my games room floor ' s gonna cost me over $200 and the show expenses would cost over $100 . = half the GR floor . Also , i ' ve seen lots of concerts , memorable ones like ELP in 1977 at the MTL olympic stadium (80,000+ people) and odd ones like Nina Hagen , rough trade , talking heads . ect ... Also seen rush 3 times , Peter Gabriel twice (once with David Bowie and the tubes , at BC place) and was satisfied on both counts .

But , i saw april wine at the Quebec colliseum in 1980 , 2 drummers , 2 lead guitars , wild show . Then , 12 years later , i saw a reconstituted version of the band . Not to impressed with the experience . I know we ' re not talking about the same musician quality here , but i checked some GG old clips and compared it to some of the new formation "three friends" . It made me decide to pass on that one ...

My $0.02
