My favorite prog videos are some i've seen on youtube of Le Orme in the early seventies, especially the one featuring their producer Gian Piero Reverberi on piano accompanying the band doing a song from the L'Uomo di Pezza album. Another i love is the one where the band is doing Contrappunti with Frutto Acerbo thrown in. And another where they do the "Rondo" made famous by ELP. Heck, sure, they are in black and white and sort of bootleg quality, but they epitomize in film what i really love about prog from that period. They capture the seventies live prog music atmosphere perfectly. Triumvirat were filmed in 1974 doing the Illusions On A Double Dimple album live in it's entirety, but ABCs In Concert people threw it out, so i will never see it, but imagine that would be my "Holy Grail" prog vid!
The 1974 T'rat video is of only the first 11 minutes of the first suite from Illusions On A Double Dimple, but still! And then from 1975 a complete Spartacus concert was videotaped by PBS in the Orlando, Florida area, but where it is, is still a mystery. Here are a couple of videos from the Pompeii album tour in Germany that are currently my faves.

Genesis Duke's tour full concert.
Lots of great stuff but in particular I love seeing One For The Vine (21m50s), Duke's Travels / Duke's End (56m00s) and Ripples (1h25m10s), too bad they don't show more of Bank's hands, and why the hell did they make such dark shows when they knew it was being filmed??
Some say Genesis was over when Gabriel left, some say it was over when Hackett left... I say it was over when Collins shaved his beard !
Thank you!! The best....Jon Anderson with the band at, perhaps, their peak (35th Anniversary period). I saw the show in Chicago, it was simply amazing.

The Montreux DVD is a lot of fun for sure. I have most Oldfield DVD's and the one I watch a lot is TB3 at Horseguards parade although Exposed is superb as well with Maddy ,Pierre and a large collection of singers and musicians at Wembley Arena 1979.

My wife at the time pointed out how hokey the dancers are! (they showed this film clip just before the "Three of a Perfect Pair" show in the famed Minneapolis venue "First Avenue") It was a glorious gig!
I just wanted to pop in here and say "I was there"!
