This fan memory was written by Michael Von Knorring.

In mid 70 G.G. came to Gothenburg-Sweden for a concert at our concert-house. I was only 16 then, i said to my father you must come with me, to a Gentle Giant concert. ok he said, and i went to buy tickets. My father told me, get tickets as far from stage as possible. So we got tickets as far from stage as possible. when we arrived that evening the first we see is a big speaker on our seats. Now what, you have to sit on the speaker someone said, are you kidding me i said. My father and i didn't sit on the speaker. We sat beside it. It was the best concert i ever been to and i been to a lot. I've been a fan since early 70. After the concert i walked with G.G. to the hotel Park Aveny on Gothenburgs Aveny. I forgot to tell you i'm a drummer and played drums since i was a little boy. in the mid 80 i played in a group called Norden Light, we had a demo sent with our Manager to Derek Shulman, he listened to it and said it was good but he didn't want to sign us. i was lucky to do an audition with Yngwie Malmsteen and got the job.
