Mainmise is an alternative magazine published in Montréal, Québec. They published several articles relating to Gentle Giant in March, 1972.

Thanks to Michel Forbes for providing these scans. He writes:

In 1972, Gentle Giant was booked at Rimouski, about 300 km from Montreal. They played for one hour only, and the public was pissed off and asked for more. The band was surprised by their popularity considering that Rimouski is a small town and the population is mainly French speaking.

I heard that story around this time when I was 12 years old, but I was living too far to get a chance to see them live in show. One of the articles (1973) mentions this anecdote.
