i was thinking more in terms of something like Grobschnitt's Solar Music Live, it doesnt have to be the same style, it could be anything, just has that really good live vibe Aaron |

Solar music live  - Grobschnitt Playing the fool - Gentle giant The second part of tubular bells on exposed - Mike oldfield Umma Gumma - Pink Floyd, all the live tracks here are better than their studio counterparts Moonloop on Coma divine - Porcupine tree Made in Japan - Deep purple Song remains the same - Led Zeppelin, I like the jamming here. |

As for krautrock: Agitation Free - At the Cliffs of the River Rhine Amon Duul II - Live in London these seem to me to be superlative live krautrock though many bands in this genre seem to have been recorded in such primitive conditions as to perhaps be labeled 'live in the studio'. examples being: Ash Ra Tempel- 1st Gila - st German Oak-st (recorded in a German underground bunker!) I could go on ------------- "We turn and turn in the animal belly, the mineral belly, the belly of time. To find the way out: the poem." |

ELP-----Welcome Back My Friends............. Rush-----Exit...Stage Left Yes----Extended Versions----I think this one is pretty unkown, but it has a sweet version Starship Trooper with Howe and Wakeman soloing back and forth for five minutes instead of their typical one after the other like on most other versions of the song. It also has a great version of Awaken. |

Some of my absolute favourites: Gong - Gong Est Mort, Vive Gong Guru Guru - Live Hawkwind - Live Chronicles Magma - Live Kraan - Live 75 Van der Graaf Generator - Vital Planet Gong - Live Floating Anarchy 801 - Live Embryo - Live with the Karnataka College of Percussion Not prog, but excellent nevertheless: Frumpy - Live And the upcoming live album of Van der Graaf Generator, which probably will be named "Live at the Royal Festival Hall", of which I have a bootleg on the computer already (but will of course buy the real thing as soon as it is out). Best concert I ever attended (yes, Jean and I were there). Most of these albums (even Magma) should be something that someone who is interested in space-rock will appreciate. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

My favourites are:
I'm not really a huge fan of Live recordings but the sound quality is generally much better now. Most Bootlegs still leave a lot to be desired! -------------

Forgot to mention some others: Any live album of Peter Hammill; since you are more into the psychedelic, "There Goes the Daylight" might be something for you (has some psychedelic jamming). But any Hammill live album is excellent, so "The Margin +", "Veracious", "Room Temperature", "The Union Chapel Concert" and "Typical" are also recommended.
