Yes - Yessongs.   Great album if your a fan of Yes' early years (The Yes Album - Close to the Edge) 


Genesis - Live


And for some non-prog -

You don't want to miss out The Who's "Live at the Leeds."

Camel's A Live Record does it for me.

    Genesis Live - for me all the versions on this improve on the originals. Much better performance and production.
