I voted for Playing the Fool. But I would have voted for either Welcome Back My Friends or Seconds Out, had they been on the list.

Live at Leeds is hardly prog. I'm just surprised that ELP and Yes aren't here.

I haven't heard most of this albums, but I really liked Coma Divine a lot, and that album got me into Porcupine Tree. On the other hand, I was tremendously disapointed when I got "Playing the Fool", and even after many listenings I do rather dislike that album (except for "Funny ways", which is outstanding); actually, it almost put me off from getting any more Gentle Giant albums, however, I ended up getting all up to "Octopus", and though I really loved the first 2 albums, I don't expect to get the rest.

Dream Theater's "Score" is the only one of these I've heard. My vote goes there (because it's a great live album).

Allmann Brothers' "Live @ Fillmore East" is my favorite live album of all time though.

  I Wish i have more Tools to Vote one Million times for Coma Divine , it's the Best second Live Album after PF Pompei ,  but , all the Other Live Albums are Amazing as well !   Gentle & King are exceptional in those albums !

No "Genesis Live", and I'm the first to comment on this fact?

ability meant nothing if you weren't willing to play with it. Even at
their most rigid there was a sense of a amateur, punk energy almost.
When I listen to Yes or ELP (no offense to them) I hear musicians
showing how to play music. When I hear GG I hear musicians showing how
to have fun with music.
sums it up really well for me



I like this comment too, and voted GG. It takes a lot of guts and talent to mess around with such intricate music and make it work. Playing the Fool is my favorite album of theirs. So many other bands, like the aforementioned among others, largely play what they record. A live performance should be unique and made all the more special for those involved when it gets lost in time rather than recorded for posterity. It becomes and event unto itself and not just another stop on a tour.
Sounds like I need to hear this, and soon too. I'm a big GG fan, but they've been off my scope for some time now. Still have half of their studio albums, this live album and their DVD's left on my wish list. Looks like I need to do some serious GG purchasing in the near future.

Regarding Purple, remember that Proto-Prog and Prog-Related do not count for the Top lists.
