I have wondered for a long time why there is no official list of the Best Live Prog Albums. This list should show up next to the "TOP PROG ALBUMS (ALL TIME)" in the MISC section on the Progarchives home page.
Please notice that you have "TOP PROG ALBUMS (ALL TIME)" but there is no OFFICIAL progarchives list of the top live recordings by Prog Bands. Seems to me like a very large gap would be filled by making an officially sanctioned PROG ARCHIVES list available and easily accessible to all viewers. Just a suggestion.

Nice list. There are so many live albums these days, it seems they deserve their own category.

Although there is no link on the home page, such a list is available from the "Top Prog Albums (all-time)" list by changing the "Filter: Specify the list recording type" filter from "Studio" to "Live", then click "SUBMIT". Here's the resulting list:

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

^ There were no other replies when I embarked on my quest to provide my link to the OP. During that time, you and Manuel replied.
To provide an alternative text to the link, select that text (written normally), click on the "Insert Hyperlink" (the little world globe"), paste the link in the address box, remove the "http://" from the link, then click "OK".

Hi,
Interesting to see no PF albums listed ... although I am not surprised at all, though things like "Live in Pompeii" deserve to be listed, as it is a fine show, although it seems to be a bunch of shows not just one. At least different days and nights. Not sure about that, though. I don't think the shows that PF put on after that were as good as the early bootlegs ... the fact that they had to time themselves to film and a lot more, took away some freedom and quality from the work, and while the atmosphere for the shows was intense and exciting, in the end, the actual music in the show was not as good as it should, or could have been. in "Pulse" the band does OK, but I'm not sure that it belongs with the early stuff ... that was on so many bootlegs, and this was the material that suggested that this band was great in concert, and it was, until DSOTM.

^ You are perfectly right. I prefer any scratched old bootleg to Pulse.

Isn't Live at Pompeii technically a bootleg? It would certainly make my list and top my Pink Floyd list. |

That recent slew of live Floyd releases documenting the years 1968-72 are all amazing - don't know if they were a part of a box set or just individual releases but each rate right up there in sound and performance quality with the live disc of Ummagumma, the previously best live Floyd album.

I was just going to mention Ummagumma - I didn't see it mentioned previously. That was the first CD I ever bought. I had it on vinyl, and knew I couldn't pass it up. Other live: Is "Song Remains the Same" too mainstream? Tony Levin's Double Espresso |

Hi,
One album that I think deserves some credit and mention is "MAN - Back Into The Future" ... but the two very long pieces that are live. That version of "C'mon" with the choir and Mickey going nuts over it, is fantastic and a very memorable moment, and the other side, "Jam Up Jelly Tight" is also very good, and a total treat, if not a tribute to the Fillmore days. Of all "live" pieces, in any album, I like this version of "C'mon" over many things, and after that quickly to Grobschnitt's Solar Music Live ... and specially the remastered version with two or three other versions of it, all of them totally far out! A true trip band!
