Скачать или смотреть A glimpse of PROG…Neil Peart/Jr Flood - Giant Killer (1970)

In 1970, after playing in The Younger Generation, and the Majority, Neil Peart was ready for JR Flood in 1968. In 1970, the band recorded a demo at Toronto Sound Studios, the same studio the Rush would record in some 4-5 years later. They recorded 8 original songs for the demo/album,however the band never made it big despite their “San Francisco” sound. Full Demo here -    • Neil Peart - 1970 JR Flood Demo - Full Album  

I would consider this to be Neil’s first Prog piece pre-Rush, featuring more complex patterns than even Retribution has to offer. Considering this was mid-1970, most other Prog rock bands had only been on the scene for a couple years. As well as the fact that with each sizzling guitar/Hammond organ track, the band became heavier and heavier during the record (Their climax likely being this song.)
