Kostas says: 

Free Hand is perhaps Gentle Giant's most realized effort. After the excellent In a Glass House, the group further developed its Renaissance-medieval approach, producing one of the most creative and complex 

recordings in progressive rock history. Their vocal approach to the four-part fugue "On Reflection" was revolutionary for its time and is looked upon as one of the genre's defining moments. Despite the complexity of the arrangements, the music never sounds academic and in fact is very accessible thanks to several melodic hooks. The combination of superb musicianship, dry wit, and creative compositions make this an essential and historical recording.

I searched through an awful lot of live footage of the band but really couldn’t bring myself to post any (never trust a man who seems to have had a perm, over trimmed beard and a white shortsleeved safari jumpsuit would be my best advice!!) so there is this album track which I found about bearable! It’ called Nothing at All!

Gentle Giant - Nothing At All 

Now she sits by the riverside Watching the waters glide by With a sigh And the things she put faith in Are ripples just waving her by With a sigh She sees lovers pass by with much more than a kiss Ah, this is a girl who had everything Finds she's nothing at all Now the wind seems so cold Seems so old as it laughs at her fears And her tears And as ducks swim away from her Visions of past love appear In her tears She sees love in his face as she tells him to go And so here's a girl who had everything Finds she's nothing at all What would she say if she saw him, yeah Now that she's gone, man, you're losing Now you can see what she's seeing, yeah For sure she's more than just choosing Now she sits by the riverside Watching the waters glide by With a sigh And the things she put faith in Are ripples just waving her by With a sigh She sees lovers pass by with much more than a kiss Ah, this is a girl who had everything Finds she's nothing at all
