best prog band dvd

The best DVD I own is Roger Water's In the Flesh, simply because of the set list. Waters has managed to pick most of the best Pink Floyd songs, spanning all his time with the band and some fine examples of his solo stuff as well. It seems that Waters' and my taste for Floyd favourites match to an amazing degree.
Other notable additions to the list would have been Marbles on the Road 2DVD by Marillion, Fool's Company by Fish, In Concert by David Gilmour and The Way We Walk - Live in Concert by Genesis (the pop songs can easily be skipped, because they've been put to the end of the gig and there isn't really too many of them to spoil the pleasure of enjoying the concert.)
From the list, which has several of my favourite DVDs, I chose Live at Loreley by Marillion. In fact I just bought it yesterday. In my inner fantasy world they would have played longer (the DVD is only 85 minutes), adding Pseudo Silk Kimono and the b-side of Misplaced Childhood, Grendel and Fugazi to the show, and the result would have been a perfect Fish-era Marillion show. The way it is, it's still terrific.

Pompeii is THE best rock concert video ever made!

Kansas' Device-voice-drum is a good show, Yes' Symphonyc live too.

Worsts: ELP - Pictures at an exhibition

Yes - Keys to ascension

(both for their amazing 'special defects')

Yes - Symphonic (not on the list    )

I miss Pain of Salvation - BE ... and Dream Theater - Live Scenes from New York ... and Opeth - Lamentations.

Yes, this is the second poll I've seen which didn't allow only
one vote. I guess that makes it invalid.

I voted for Pink Floyd at Pompeii because of the mindblowing music (especially Echoes) and the wonderful geographic scenes and psychedelic images  !

I prefer PFM Piazza del campo (Live Italy 2003) above Live in Tokyo 2002 because of the warm interaction with the Italian progheads and the enthousiastic performance.

And I miss some splendid DVD's like Roger Waters with In the flesh, Steve Hackett with Once above a time (exciting rendition of Firth of fith), Roxy Music with Musikladen 74/75 (Eddie Jobson on his trasparent violin) and Los Jaivas with Alturas de Macchu Picchu (Minimoog and panflute)
