	I have been thinking about this quite a bit recently... there are Live albums and then there are LIVE albums. During their prime, most Prog Bands from the 70's released at least one live offering, but the question is, did the quality of said album really enhance their discography while they were at their height of artistic creativity? Show another dimension to the band? In effect, was the 'whole' we received, greater than the sum of the studio parts? Please list your Favourite FIVE Live Prog albums from the classic era, which you feel no collection should be without? On the other side of the coin, were there bands who in your opinion, released a number of great studio albums and were very important within the movement who, for one reason or another either didn't release a live offering or did, but through under-rehearsing, muddy production, poor track choices, unnecessary brevity, or simply a 'going through the motions' performance lacking passion, failed to reach anywhere near their potential? Please list FIVE Prog bands from the classic era, who you have always felt short-changed by and wish they could have done better during their purple patch? Thank you, and I will look forward to seeing what you all come up with, before I contribute....
