Giant: Underrated Band

Do you remember the band Giant? Their most successful album is Last of the Runaways. I was listening to the single "I'm a Believer" last night while driving home.
Giant was a great band of true musicians. In fact, I wish they were still together today. When I say "true" musicians - I am not exaggerating. The quartet was not your average band of long-haired dreamers. No, these were seasoned session men. Most played with very famous bands. It's natural they wanted their share of the limelight.
Dann Huff sang and played guitar while Mike Brigadello played bass and David Huff played drums. Like any good AOR band, the group had a keyboard player. That person was Alan Pasqua. Giant landed a deal with A&M and then recorded Last of the Runaways in 1989.
I think the band got back together not so long ago - but that didn't last too long. Still, I think it would be cool to hear Dann Huff perform live. That man can sing!
Here is the video for "I'm a Believer."
Now, watch this clip of "Innocent Days."
Tell me: were you lucky enough to see Giant perform live? If so, where and when?

My absolute favorite song by them is, "Innocent Days"! By the way, they released a second album in '92 called, "Time To Burn"...that's a great one, too.
