Cool, '77 was a great year for live concerts for me too...I was only 17 but had an older friend into prog...even more important, he had wheels and gas money ![Thumbs Up Thumbs Up](smileys/smiley20.gif) FEB: Genesis: Wind and Wuthering tour - Winterland Ballroom SF APR: Renaissance (with comedian Steve Martin headlining): Paramount Theater Oakland MAY: Jethro Tull: Songs from the Wood tour - Oakland Arena JUL: Led Zeppelin (with Judas Priest & Rick Derringer) - Oakland Coliseum (this was the infamous show the day after Richard Cole had beaten up Bill Grahams son - the final US show before Bonzo died) AUG: ELP (with Journey): Works tour (no orchestra) - Oakland Arena SEP: Yes (with Donovan): Going for the One tour - Oakland Arena (I was there both nights) The only show I wanted to see but couldn't get tickets for was the Pink Floyd Animals tour in May. They sold out 2 nights at the huge outdoor Oakland Coliseum in like 15 minutes ![Pig Pig](smileys/smiley30.gif)

Thanks, about 95% of the prog concerts I attended were between '76 and '78. Somehow I never got the chance to see Floyd, Camel, Zappa or Rush but saw just about every other big prog band that came through SF/Oakland ![Wink Wink](smileys/smiley2.gif)

What a year, who said prog was dead? Wanted to vote Aja but decided Wind & Wuthering needed a nudge

I hope I'm not the only one who routinely mistakes "GFTO" for "GTFO."

If I could make a three way tie it would be Tull, Genesis, and Yes. I voted Genesis, one of the few times I would not vote for either of the other two but that is just because I recently acquired a CD of W&W, so it is more fresh for me right now.

Tough choice! Animals, Pibroch, Geese, 1313, Gypsies, Awaken, Julia, Babaji, Peg, or I (Robot).
Floyd, Phillips or Dan.
I vote Aja.

Likewise. Many good albums this year, though I give the edge to Genesis.
