Now that I've seen a performance of the Wall in Berlin, and heard the original One of These Days, PULSE (DVD, own no live Floyd albums) doesn't impress me as much as it used to. That's a great Wish You Were Here though...until Dave starts singing along with his guitar...
 
My vote goes, where else, with A Little Light Music. Great stage banter!
 
Live at Pompeii is far more better PF live album than Pulse and Wall.

There are some live prog albums I have yet to hear, eg: both Flower Kings albums, though I hope to get them over the next few months.
 
My favourite? Hard to say. The following come into the equation -
 
Genesis - Seconds Out
Genesis - Live
Genesis - Live Archive '67 - '74
 
Porcupine Tree - Coma Divine
 
Rush - Different Stages
Rush - All The World's A Stage
 
Steve Hackett - pretty much any of his Live archive series, or Timelapse, or Tokyo Tapes!Wink

You know, I like Pink Floyd...I should listen to them more
It's got to be slow
Taking love the only way
It's got to just flow
Making love and taking time to let it grow

I can't handle Phill doing the vocals on the PG-era material.
 
There are so many Crimso live albums out that I have no idea what the quality is of each of them.
 
So...i guess I don't have a fav Live Prog album.
 
Do you?
 
 
 
 
1. Colosseum live
2. Traffic - On the road
3. ELP - Welcome back, Pictures at an exhibition
4. Pink Floyd - Pompeii
5. Gentle giant - King biscuit flower hour, BBc, Playing the fool
6. King Crimson - Circus, Earthbond, USA
7. Yes- Yessongs
