Alan's and other special effects moments used by Pink Floyd, were all a part of the whole concert experience in their "quadraphonic" days, when they had little stories in special effects going 360 around your head, and eventually many of them led to the next song. There is a "real" Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast in the movie "PF Live in Pompeii" with its outtakes.

The full and complete implementation of all these effects came about in "The Wall" when they were no longer pieces in between the songs, but actually a strong part of the story. By comparison, DSOTM was not exactly together, but its order was quite enjoyable, and strong. But only side one has the effects come up to something, that even today, many think is a waste, but it became an important idea to the concept. However weird and difficult it might be to translate that.

Any more chips and beans?

ahhh..

The Fountain Of Lamneth by Rush - I'm sure some will debate it's masterpiece status, but I think it qualifies as an epic. Understandable that they didn't play it since when it was released they weren't doing a lot of big gigs - playing that and The Necromancer while opening for KISS would've been a career suicide for sure. Granted, it's possible that they played it once in some random town and nobody cared to record it, then again, this is the band that didn't play 2112 in full until 20 years after it was released.

It's also unfortunate that they didn't play The Necromancer often enough to have it featured on a live album (or at least a great sounding bootleg).

Thank you ... and the ghost of Dean will still come after me! He was "there", too, and sometimes has quite a different view than mine, from Southern California. His view, is also quite valid and many times helps me even more, make sense of some things. Specially his technical side, when I am more of an idealistic side.

At least in Southern California, there was no concert of a big name, where some sex was not involved, and even Tangerine Dream got that honor in my book. And the ladies? Ohhh what I would do to be with them again!

Funny side of things ... I just don't see that many "prog" bands these days as "sexy" ... as so many of the other bands were in those days. The audience for Genesis was already older, and not into sex (so to speak) and the lively time of a group like The Doors, was already over, and Jefferson Airplane, had already dissolved into a very disfunctional family, although Hot Tuna, did a lot better! The YES audience, for me, after the early days, was way too much into the hip folks that were no longer hip. You should see that audience, when I saw them here at the Casino, on Chris' last tour, I think it was. It felt like the Brazilian Carnaval, without the sexiness!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Deep Purple did not play Sail Away live, although Glenn Hughes has included it in his solo set.

Gotta be Fountain of Lamneth. My favorite Rush epic and I really wish they played it when it was new.

Mad Man Moon wouldn't have really worked I don't think. It would basically just be Tony Banks solo spot. There's some very minimal guitar, bass, and drums... but yeah I'd guess it's that and the fact by the time Tony had a CP-70 they already had One For The Vine.

Marillion - Grendel. Hardly ever played live. A few times in 83 and a few times after that. 

Saw them in 83 in Manchester. "We don't do Grendel live", said Mr Fish. 

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo from crowd.

some 60+ times, setlist.fm says, but yeah 1982-83 mostly.

I LOVE songs-that-were-never-played-live phenomenon, some favourite examples include:
Carouselambra, Tea For One and In the Light by Led Zeppelin

most of Load/Reload stuff by Metallica

The Writ by Black Sabbath - easily my fave BS song, even covered it with my band:

I'm a huge fan of Ronnie James Dio, and I believe this song (one of my favorites) was never performed in concert.  It's really fun to play on guitar or bass guitar!

Genesis' Blood On the Rooftops, much to Hackett's chagrin.

On the prog metal side of things, Crimson, by Edge of Sanity, and really anything by Dan Swano, since he very rarely plays live.

Just today I was wondering if Crimson had ever been played live.  Thanks for the answer.

I keep dropping hints to Martin Turner to try and get it played, but to no avail.

Handy is great!

I'm pretty sure they played Mad Man Moon on one of their US tours that I saw them on--76 (winter of, Trick of the Tail tour) 77 (winter of, Wind and Wuthering tour).
