Post by: hieronymous on July 27, 2012, 12:38:36 PM: I really enjoyed the Steve Howe bit at the beginning - never seen that before. And "Fish Out of Water" is definitely a classic - maybe one of my all-time favorite albums?!!

Must be a stand-in. His original RM 1999 was painted cream before 1971, and I would guess this was, what, late '70s? This Fireglo one is also a 4001S (or RM 1999 if an import); witness the two holes in the pickguard for the removed acrylic tug bar.

EDIT: Clip is from the Old Grey Whistle Test 75, it sez so at the start.

Gentle Giant's music is, to me, just plain odd.
