 Topic: I haven’t got any prog DVD’s

This is due to the fact that most televisions have very poor sound repro - but if I get surround sound - I may dabble - So what shall I buy first ?

Swinton - its is absolutely IMPERATIVE you purchase the Van Der Graaf Generator DVD GODBLUFF LIVE - just ask wrath of ninian - he'll agree - that is if there isn't a PFM DVD out

Well,the obvious one to go for first would be "Subterranea". Then I would recommend the one that Steve Hackett released a couple of years which title escapes me at the moment  ,"Live In South America" or something. Despite the fact that I can't remember what it's called,it's absolutely brilliant!

Don't know your taste, but here are some I enjoy:
King Crimson- Deja Vrooom | Fantastic performance of the 'double trio'
King Crimson- Eyes Wide Open| Just Brilliant
Rush - Rush in Rio| Great songs, great footage ;
Pink Floyd- Live in Pompei | One of the best music videos ever shot
Yes- Symphonic Live | A classic
Enjoy!

Are there any decent Yes dvds with footage from the 70s?

Unfortunately, John came fifth and was stuck with a toaster.

Hackett's Tokyo Tapes is good for the line-up and music (Genesis/Krimson), but the musicians seem relatively static, giving me the impression it was recorded in the studio (but then a few heads in audience pop up occasionally to dispell those thoughts).
Joni Mitchell's Shadows & Light has a stellar jazz rock support cast - and one of a handful of DVDs with Jaco Pastorius - pity the film's director relies too much on grot footage of 70's Las Vegas, instead of letting us see the guys do their instrumental stuff.
Page & Plant: Unledded (I've been told the very best of surround sound) - stonking heavy Arabic rearrangement of Kasmir.
Rush's Rio is great and price looks very good from here.
And one suggestion to avoid lofi from TV speakers, maybe you have a stereo headphones plug-in point.

Steve Hackett - Somewhere In South America
I'm agree with you this is awesome DVD like any others from Steve Hackett. Recommendit in 2CD+DVD 'InsideOut' edition on regular prize.
Only the new one Steve Hackett's DVD 'Once Above a Time' can beat it!!! Absolutely brilliant

Not really Rob, but the "Yesyears" documentary DVD has some excellent archive footage.
