This one I've thought about for some time: Gentle Giant - Playing the Fool I also think that the live version of Tarkus on "Welcome Back" is the single best, most exciting live recording ever, followed closely by Cinema Show (w/Bruford and Collins) from "Seconds Out." Peace. |

Some of the best overall live recordings I've heard have to be on the Genesis Archives volume 1; the whole of 'Lamb' and all the 1973 material from the 'Selling England' tour.... pure quality. -------------  Jon Lord 1941 - 2012 |

I agree with that Ivan. I wish they could do that again this year because Steve Walsh sounds so much better. It is like night and day. I believe he had a surgery on his throat before that tour and it took a year or two for his voice to come back. He sounds great now. But the band is fantastic on this and the DVD is very well done. It could have been better though. Kerry Livgren was willing to play that show but Phil Ehart nixed it because he felt that when they went on tour people would expect to see him with the band. |

Add to these two shows the 'live from Loreley' performance, which is really fantastic. And the unofficial 'live at the Hammersmith Odeon' released in 1984 Certif1ed sent me is also incredible. Queen's 'live at the Rainbow', released in 1974 is also stunning. Genesis released a 30 mn performance for the belgian TV in 1972 and this is also worth seeing. Dream Theater's shows are very exciting too. I say that after the live concert they performed last year in Paris. I was also blown away by Gong's performance I saw in Paris two years ago. ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

My favourite proggy live albums : - Hawkwind - palace springs : great versions of well known songs - Yesshows : Don't kill the whale, parallels and Gates are better sounding than the original versions ! - ABWH : An Evening of Yes music plus - remarkable album from a remakable tour- top setlist - Camel : A live record - great version of never let go - Genesis : 3 sides lives - This album sparkles - most progressive Genesis album from the eighties - great version of Abacab and Dodo. Collins finally is a front man ! - Rush live in Rio - Peter Hammill - room tempature live - Rick Wakeman - live at Hammersmith - Porcupine Tree - coma divine - the remaster 2CD - a compilation of music of their most progressive period of time (91 - 97) - Fish - Derek & the amazing electric bear - to my humble opinion the best setlist of all the Fish tours withs some Marillion classics, excellent also nice - The complete bbc recordings (excellent soundquality - voice in good shape) and Fellini Nights

Hi Fishy, and welcome to you!! Some fine selections there, Camel and Hawkind's live albums in particular. For Genesis, I much prefer "Seconds out", and for Yes its got to be "Yessongs". Another favourite is Uriah Heep "Live in '73", Byron at his best. |

Hi Easy livin !
To be honest, I never understood why so many people like Yessongs, the soundquality seems rather poor maybe The fact that I heard it first in the eighties, explains why I don't like it. Seconds out is also one of my favourites. |

Cards on the table time Fishy! The reason I love "Yessongs" so much is because it was my first Yes album. I'd heard some of their stuff up until that point, and was reasonably impressed. When "Yessongs" was released, it was a triple LP with a Roger Dean sleeve, selling for around the price of a single album. It offered a great way of getting most of their best tracks, including all three from "Close to the Edge", in one go. I got to know tracks like "Heart of the sunrise", "Yours is no disgrace", etc. intimately from these live versions, long before I got to know the studio versions. I guess when you grow up with an album, you're less aware of any sound quality issues, especially those released in the early 70's when Hi-fi was still a new concept. At that time, most people still listened to music in mono anyway! |

I don't even want to go to a today PF concert cause it's so disapointing, compared to the 70's... That's what i mean. I'd rather prefered to see a 1970 PF concert for example. Today Floyd is crap! Division bell is a shame!!!! ...and "Pulse "is very average (even if they play Dark side) |

I first saw them on the Stratosfear tour - ****in' amazing! After that I caught them live about once a year for 5 or 6 years - the Cyclone tour was surprisingly good, once they finished playing Bent Cold Sidewalk and got into some spacey improv. I can honestly say they never disappointed me live, although the studio albums were patchy after Baumann split. Mind you, Force Majeure and Tangram were well up to scratch. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

You'd be missing out on something really great then.. cause I saw quite a few of the DSOT and Pulse shows... and they were some of the best PF shows I ever saw... That Pulse show... David did such an incredible job on SOYCD and CN everynight... I found myself crying afterwards most the time. I realize you're probably a Roger Waters fan, and thats why you're saying that... but musically those shows were the best Floyd ever did... except maybe the Animals tour.... And David did a great show a couple of months ago with "Coming Back to Life", "Marooned" and "Sorrow"... and it was incredible ..even without the other 2.... I'd love to see the 3 of them in concert again!!! ------------- THIS IS ELP

Best live album in the world, EVER: Motorhead : No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith Closely followed by AC/DC : If You Want Blood, You've Got It
Best live collections; WOODSTOCK (the first 3-album set) GLASTONBURY FAYRE Greasy Truckers (both double albums)
Best live Prog albums; Hawkwind : Space Ritual Twelfth Night : Live at the Target
Best live video: Pink Floyd : Live at Pompeii (maybe that's cheating...) Closely followed by Radiohead live at Glastonbury, 1997. and Muse live at Glastonbury 2004. and WOODSTOCK
Best live Recording in the world EVER: Marillion, Live at Hammersmith Odeon, December 1984 Closely followed by their Reading Festival set, 1983 and Twelfth Night's Reading Festival set from the same year. Surprisingly, I wasn't struck by the Enid's set.

I've always been a great fan of live albums. There's an energy on many live records that cannot be captured on a studio recording: ELP-Welcome Back- Tarkus/Aquatarkus are far superior to the studio versions IMHO. Genesis-Seconds Out-The second disk is just about perfect with great energy and crystal clear sound Genesis-Archives Vol. 1-the live version of Lamb is really fantastic, again better than the studio versions. Marillion-Anorak in the UK live-the 2 disk version Les Miserables-10th Anniversary Concert- not prog but similar to a concept album and a very good performance. ELP-Pictures at and Exhibition Yes-YesShows H Band Live-Marillion's Steve Hogarth's solo band with lots of cover material from Elvis Costello to Tull to XTC to Marillion plus many others. I've got runnerups that I consider very good but not great: Transatlantic-Live In Europe-Very good versions of their studio recordings with Beatles music thrown into the mix. ELP-Live at the Royal Albert Hall-I wish that Emerson had stuck with a piano, Hammond and Mini Moog for his keyboard rig. Alot of the new arrangements sound muddied to my ears with lots of Midi-layered sounds that don't sound nearly as good as his classic keyboard setup of the 1970's. Genesis-Live-Sadly, Gabriel's voice really grates on me on this recording. His rerecorded vocals on the Archives CDs sound better. Yeah it's studio tampering (Hackett rerecorded some guitar parts too) but they sound really great to me and the mix is just lovely. |

Hi, I'm the new one here.
First of all I'm love in Prog Rock live records because in my opinion this is the place where good musicans can show their talent.
This is my list: 1. Genesis - Seconds Out (Paris - incredible document of Prog Rock history) 2. Fish - Sushi (Utrecht - let us honour Dutch fans!!!) 3. Pink Floyd - Pulse (London - finally, unfortunately without Waters) 4. Peter Gabriel - Secret World Live (Modena - amzing new arrangement of all songs) 5. Supertramp - Paris (Paris - best ever performance of that underrate group) |

Mine are: -GENESIS "Seconds Out". -CAMEL "Pressure Points-Live in Concert". -GENESIS "Live". -RUSH "Exit...Stage Left". -KANSAS "Two for the Show". Someone mentioned that Steve Walsh`s voice is not the same anymore. I think that it was that way since 1992, when they released the "Live at the Whisky" album. PROCOL HARUM "Live with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra". YES "Yessongs", "Yesshows": despite bad recordings and mixings. YES "Keys to Ascension" (Vols. 1 and 2). URIAH HEEP "Live January 1973". ELP "Welcome Back my Friends to the how that never ends..." MARILLION`s "The Thieving Magpie" hasn`t very good recordings, but it has some good songs.

I'd been listening to FZ for a few years by then, so I knew a lot of his music... The concert? Wow! Belew, Jobson, Bozzio and O'Hearn... What a team. Flo and Eddie opened and they did some Filmore East "Top Ten with a Bullet" as an encore. |

I actually have to add, even though it is in no way Prog: Joe Cocker - Mad Dogs & Englishmen It has a fantastic song set, and such energy from Joe!  ------------- And Jesus said unto John, "come forth and receive eternal life..." Unfortunately, John came fifth and was stuck with a toaster. |

My favorite live record is THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY from Genesis Archives vol-1. The next ones are Rolling Stones' GET YER YA-YA'S OUT! (1969), Zappa's TINSELL TOWN REBELLION (1981) and Roxy Music's VIVA! (1976). ------------- I Prophesy Disaster... |

Hello, Duke! Yes, Supertramp is really underrated band - they have no really bad albums, but their 70, 74-85 and 97 records are really tasteful, nice, drammatic and wonderful. Gabriel's concert at Modena is maybe the best show I've ever seen at video... How excellently Peter and Co. have performed SAN JACINTO, SHAKING THE TREE, DIGGING IN THE DIRT and SECRET WORLD! ------------- I Prophesy Disaster... |

They don't do it on the stage anymore vol.2...ahhh..... How many volumes are there 4? 5? As far as I understand, the Helsinki Concert is the only in the series to present a single show. That show being the only one FZ ever did in Finland... But it's a superb effort. A breath-taking one, I should say. Funny though, know one seems to have met anyone who attended that show... Or are they perhaps afraid that we, the jealous, would be giving them a true bashing if they rejoiced themselves being in the crowd?  -Beau ------------- --No enemy but time-- |

I'm with you on 'Bursting Out' and 'Made In Japan' On another slightly separate point, Mr Fripp of Crimson claims that studio albums are secondary to Crimson's live performances. He likes the energy of the meeting between band and audience. Quite a thing to say when you consider some of the albums Crimson have made but as ever, I digress... ------------- I must remind the right honourable gentleman that a monologue is not a decision. - Clement Atlee, on Winston Churchill |

Yes. I went to the concerts they played here in my city in 1998, 1999 and 2002. I couldn`t attend their 2004 concert here. I hope that I could find some recordings from all these concerts. Seeing very good bands playing live in auditoriums is a very good experience. I also like the YES` "House of YES-Live from the House of Blues" album. Igor Khoroshev`s playing in "Awaken" is very good. |

Guillermo,
Having seen Kansas twice this year I can say that Mr. Walsh's voice is back. Hear for yourself. He is currently working on a solo project and here is a link to some clips from that project. http://www.moonstone.it/media.htm - http://www.moonstone.it/media.htm

I also like this album, recorded on tour in 1973 with the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section as members of the band. They are very good musicans: Roger Hawkins (great drums in all the songs), David Hood (bass) and Barry Beckett (keyboards). It was the time when Jim Capaldi wasn`t playing drums all the time as he liked more to be at the front of the stage playing various percussion instruments along with Reebop Kwaku- Baah. Capaldi is also credited as drummer in this album, but I can`t say in which songs he played the drums. Very good improvisations. But Winwood sounds a bit tired, in my opinion |
