Top 5 Favourite Live Prog Albums



I didn't knew there was a whole ABWH project that covered Yes' music as well. I will try and give it a listen soon.
Camel is a fantastic instrumental band and two albums of theirs [Snow Goose and Moonmadness, I guess] are quite good though I always felt vocals were their weak part, especially on studio LPs.

Genesis Live is quite good [it opened with Watcher of the Skies, right?]. I haven't listened to 'Barclay James Harvest' and 'Renaissance'. If you could point me to a newbie friendly album that served as an introduction point for the former [I have heard of the latter somewhat, but barely know much about the Barclay James Harvest], it had be good.

ELP - Pictures At An Exhibition

Guru Guru - Some of the very early stuff with Ax Gernrich doing his crazy stuff, which gave us some stuff in a few albums

Can - Hard to not mention this band live, with Damo ... but sadly, so much of the stuff that is shown up in the past few years, is not complete, so you don't really have a nice view. But the special TRIBUTE to Jaki is a must see for anyone ... it was excellent and it got better with Damo towards the end.

Nektar - Live ... on the first American tour and at the Santa Monica Civic ... they tore up the place. Incredible all around, and it was never shown at all despite there being a lot of video cameras around the floor. My guess is that the material was not quite as close to the albums as it could be, and thus a live album was not done, to prevent the fans from seeing something they did not quite recognize. A bad, very bad, decision. Otherwise "Sounds Like This" is a LIVE album!

Hawkwind - (first) Space Ritual tour, also at the Santa Monica Civic ... insanely good and strong, though it was very loud and roomie had a hard time with it for a week or so.



Sadly, ELP's first live record didn't resonate with me much. Their second live offering comprised of their own songs suited my tastes better.

I have listened to four albums by Guru guru I think; they have a distinctive guitar prominent sound, right; in the krautrock realm? I am not sure if any of it was live though.

Can can be good.I am still developing appreciation for Damo Suzuki and his style of singing which can be hit or miss, IMO considering the lyrics don't mean much and are quite trite. But their latest archival releases like Live at Keele presented a different side of the band.

I have heard Nektar actually. They are not very popular, I think. I found them okayish and some of their stuff was decent, though I wouldn't personally call it great.

Hawkwind had some great stuff on Space Ritual [and a few fillers as well , IMO; Organ Accumulator anyone?]and it speaks of the band at it's creative powers.
