Thanks Dean, I love Sleepy Buildings, Travel in particular was exceptionally well performed.

Magma – Thuesz Hamtaahk Trilogy is the best prog live album and DVD.  Probably my favorite Magma incarnation as well.

Here’s a little taste:

I think these are GREAT suggestions Doug!, though I never (unfortunately) could listen to them, and I think it will be quite tough to find that Triumvirat's on the Internet. But the Le Orme's live album, I've seen it features an exclusive track: Truck Of Fire, I'd like to know your impressions about it.

Truck Of Fire is a winner, Ric, and displays everything that one would like from early 70s Le Orme. The live version on In Concerto is in two parts, part one starting with a stirring section for solo piano, then the whole band kicks in in ernest! Then there is also a very nifty drum solo and some electronic keys work that is quite appealing. Part two is what sounds like the single version with Aldo's singing eloquently as usual. Definitely great Le Orme.

Live at Carnegie Hall is fantastic. Want to give a shout for the Genesis bootleg Live at Zurich 1977. Great sound and even better setlist. If you're a fan of Wind and Wuthering this is a must.

Strawbs: Live in America. A bit harsh sounding but dynamite performances by all. Includes Tony Fernandez and Andy Richards. ( I' m sure about Tony but not Andy though, but it's still a great lineup. This CD includes a version of Ghosts that is a killer!)

I wanted to add a couple more live boots I have heard recently for the first time, and they are outasite!

Yeah I wonder how AMAZING might have been this Triumvirat gig!... About Le Orme I love them too and it's amazing to open a concert with a piano session, they usually feature a classical style on piano and I think it was the same on here too, wasn't it?. Wondering how damn good this '74 show might have been, thanks my friend! By the way, according to what I have found out on the Internet they have toured a lot but only one Official Bootleg released (Live In Rome 2010) - really disappointing...

I have an old bootleg version of that called "Strawbs Live in London" (!) that opens with "Lay Down".  The concert is from their hardest rocking period and it's certainly rough cut, but the rawness works well for them here, additionally on a super version of "Simple Visions".
