Only two I own are Rush's All the World's a Stage and ELP's Welcome Back my Friends... wondering what other people's favorites are

This one I've thought about for some time:

Gentle Giant - Playing the Fool
Genesis - Seconds Out
ELP - Welcome Back My Friends

I also think that the live version of Tarkus on "Welcome Back" is the single best, most exciting live recording ever, followed closely by Cinema Show (w/Bruford and Collins) from "Seconds Out."

Peace.

All of those are great.  To your secondary list I would add The Thick as Brick edit from Bursting out and Song for America from TFTS. (Which btw is being remastered this year)

MY faves would be:

Genesis- Live (Hackett adds such a dimension to The Knife!)

YESSONGS-  (although "And you and I" is very dissapointing, the rest is very well done).

Pink Floyd- P.U.L.S.E (although Rogers isnt there, its best Live FLoyd album you can get, its also nice to hear the material from "The Division Bell" played to perfection , thanks to this album "High Hopes" and "Coming Back To life" are among my top ten Floyd songs..)

Pink FLoyd- Live at Pompeii (WHY ISNT THERE AN ALBUM RELEASE OF THIS?!?!?!?)

Led Zeppelin- How The West was Won

  1. Yessongs: Most essential Yes songs are there
  2. Two for the Show (Kansas)

  4. Live in Japan (PFM): Amazing album, they sound better than 20 years before.
  5. Genesis Archives I
  6. A Show of Hands (Rush)
  7. Welcome Back my Friends...
  8. Delicate Sound of Thunder
  9. Tokyo Tapes
  10. Device Voice Drums: Except for Walsh's dead voice, the album is amazing.

Bursting out, and although it isn't a live album, the Opeth DVD Lamentations is EXCELLENT

That is definitely a GG album I must hear; BTWE am definitely with you re the live version of Tarkus, containing without a doubt the most spectacular live ending to a prog epic.

Some of the best overall live recordings I've heard have to be on the Genesis Archives volume 1; the whole of 'Lamb' and all the 1973 material from the 'Selling England' tour.... pure quality.

One of the first Prog albums I ever owned is still my favourite live prog album today.

The live version of 'Gates Of Delirium'.....Oh, man!!
