| Mainly because of the second disc I voted for Camel's 'A live record'. Beautiful recording. |

Retrospektiw, but the Tangerine Dream is an incredible one as well. What Colin said is truth though. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Salty_Jon" rel="nofollow">

Caravan is worthy of at least one vote though I'm having a tough time separating it from Magma, Camel, TD, & Hawkwind ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

Seconds Out, just before Bursting Out and Welcome Back My Friends... Collins sings the old material much better than Gabriel IMO Instrumentally this album is peerless. The Cinema Show, Dance on a Volcano/Los Endos side is sheer heaven!! Supper's Ready is sung brilliantly by Collins; he sounds even more theatrical than Gabriel and he sings the s**t out of it. ------------- A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!! |

Three of my favorite lives here: Camel, Magma and Yes, plus the Tull live which is not bad. I'll wait for Renaissance at Carnegie Hall to pop-up. It's sad that Colosseum Live is not in the top 20 lives. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Went with ELP. The '73-'74 tour was the peak of their accomplishments. If nothing else, the super sped up version of Tarkus, extended AquaTarkus, Keith's Piano Improvisations and CP's drum solo in Karn Evil 9 were jaw-dropping achievements. Come and see the show  ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

Camel's Live Record is THE best live album ever.
All the others are excellent except Tangerine Dream, Magma (which are pretty bad) and the truly atrocious Hawkwind album. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

I concur with your assessment of Seconds Out, and the order afterwards of Tull and ELP. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Seconds Out. It's pretty cool to hear Bruford on a Genesis album as well. Love that Caravan album too. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

The Enid's "The Stand".
Though from the list, it's between Jethro Tull and Tangerine Dream. |

| Love the perfection of Seconds Out even though "Live" shouldn't mean perfection---which brings me to Yessongs--another favorite--the guys were young and riled up--which makes it more raw and less perfect--but great in it's own right. |

I came to that conclusion long ago. Just totally different tastes. There are others who share your view and others who share mine. That's not a problem so long as we respect that neither of us have a monopoly on the truth.
I actually saw Hawkwind live in c1971/2 and they were absolutely awful; the most amateurish band I've ever seen. And that dancer Stacia - not a pretty sight! ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

| Does anyone have the remastered YesSongs (if so which version) and is it worth it? In terms of material it's my favourite of the list but the original muddy sound hampered it a bit. |

Lovely part of the world. Was up on the Moors last week on a pub crawl on a blisteringly hot, sunny day. Used to do the Lyke Wake Walk (40 miles from Osmotherley to Ravenscar) a lot when I was younger; far too old now! Saw Mostly Autumn for the first time at the Lion Inn, Blakey Ridge a few years back - great pub for ale and food which saved my life once at 2am in a blizzard in the middle of a winter walk. (I don't have shares!).
Hope you enjoy your visit to Yorkshire. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

"Roxy Music Live" from their 2000 reunion tour is a really great double live accounting of that tour. No Eno or Jobson; however the rest are all accounted for.

From my experience it mostly rains in Yorkshire
I love all of Bursting Out, Second's Out, Ricochet and Space Ritual. And after the abuse it has got I will vote for Space Ritual. ------------- Help me I'm falling! |

| And what about Marillion's Real To Reel, sadly not a double but still a great and underrated live recording. |

| Gee,this is hard!All superb albums,but because of Ian Anderson's superb chat with the audience ("Did you give it a good shake? Good"),and for the impeccable performance of The Dambusters March,it has to be Bursting Out. |
