    Sight and Sound

    Every time I see or hear this performance I'm blown away. Talk about tight - great mix on this too. Badass.

    I thought this thread as intended as a more general tribute to the "Sight And Sound" UK TV programme, not just the GG episode. Several prog bands were featured - Camel and Renaissance come to mind. Seems to have been a pretty shortlived programme, 1977-78 ?

    I'm torn between "GG on the Box" and that, one, "GG at the GG." The latter definitely looks and sounds better, but the former has a better setlist. I think both are essential if you're a GG fan.

    and Jethro Tull on Sight And Sound in Feb. 1977: probably the first time many people (in the UK) heard/saw material from Songs From The Wood

    Yeah, not a great thread title (that makes 2 today).

    But to the point: Camel.

    I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.

    The name of the thread has you all upset? Really? I'm sorry. Next time I'll put a disclaimer in it or put an outline of what you might find in it before you click a button. Cripes!! I like the show - I like the band - I like the sound. Now let the non-stop over-analysis of every post in this thread commence. Bring it.
