I saw the prog-death metal band into eternity in september which was my first prog concert, but I had not heard of them before the show (they were opining for Stratovaious). It was good, nothing great. I am planning to go see Carl Palmer when he comes to around here in June. I envy you older guys though all those yes/genesis/etc. concerts must have been amazing!
If anyone knows where I can get a copy of some Flute and Voice (Indo-Prog/Raga Rock) albums please PM me! Many thanks!

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Nektar, back in the early 70s that was. It was a ten-hour festival with the Scorpions as opening band, Jane, Country Joe McDonald, Nektar and Chicken Shack.

AREA in 1974 in Sesto San Giovanni (Milan) during the occupation of a school...

It was a very intense political period.

Somewhere I should have the poster of Arbeit macht frei.

You guys are OLD !!!!  Joking... I was born in 1987 so... not a good time to start seeing prog shows. But i've seen 2 or 3 anyway: The lamb lies down on Broadway and Selling England by the pound from The musical Box and I also saw a show with a participation of Ian Anderson

Yes - Paris 2003

One of the best moment in my life. An excellent live (some moments can be seen on Yesspeaks) with enthousiastic audience. And I was at the second row (just behind Rick's wife), so I got excelent sound and vision!!!

Pink Floyd, Oslo - Division Bell tour 1994.

Since that I've seen Jethro Tull, King Crimson and Anekdoten live, all of them playing in Bergen. (not a lot of prog shows in Norway, unless you count various metal bands, in which case I've seen Enslaved half a dozen times)

I honestly cannot say which concert was my first one. all I know is I was still a little kid then (a few months old). my parents went to concerts with me. yes, I really grew up with prog. amazingly my mother claims I only ever cried when my diapers had to be changed or when I was hungry. my parents were real weirdos back when prog started

Here's the setlist from the Yes show:

Firebird Suite
Sound Chaser
Close To The Edge
To Be Over
Gates Of Delirium
Your Move/
Mood For A Day
Long Distance Runaround/
Moraz Solo
Clap
And You And I
Ritual
Roundabout
Sweet Dreams
Starship Trooper

In all honesty, I was unfamiliar with Ritual at the time and remember being slightly bored during it.

But the Relayer material was astonishing.

So much music. So little time.
