Good video and performance but audio quality sounds like they shared mp3s and converted and resampled them several times before mixing. Or maybe Zoom audio? Singer looks like James May!
I loved prog rock in the 70s (it was just "rock" then), Yes, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, but Gentle Giant never caught my attention.

I like this one that popped up in my sidebar - Camel - Lunar Sea (Live) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TakazuzJVPc

Too many singers. It sounds chaotic, which is a bad thing for a Gentle Giant tune as their songs tend to have some abrupt changes.

Here's one of my favorite progressive rock tunes:

P.S. If you like Camel, I think "Snow Goose" is their best work.
