  ~ TOUR 1973 ~

Octopus est le quatrième album du groupe de rock progressif Gentle Giant, sorti en 1972. Il a été nommé d'après un jeu de mots de la part de la femme de Phil Shulman, Roberta, qui faisait référence au fait que l'album comportait huit pièces ("Oct-": huit, "Opus": œuvre), chacune d'entre elles étant censée représenter les six membres du groupe et deux de leurs roadies. La pochette européenne est signée Roger Dean
