   IZZ did Close To The Edge? - I'd love to hear that, shame it's not on the bootlegs.
Didn't Spock's Beard release a cover of "South side of the sky" on some editions of "Snow"?

	If you look at the different bands that release Live Cds from some of the American Prog fests like Nearfest and Rosfest you'll find many covers. Cryptic Vision did a progledy of 3-4 covers, Glass Hammer did Portrait by Kansas etc. At Calprog it is a tradition (OK it is a three year tradition) that the bands must play a cover of a classic prog song. Last year we were treated to 1. Soundchaser (yes) by Spiraling 2. The Knife(genesis) by bubblemath 2112(rush) (Overture and The Priest) by Tiles Close to Edge(yes) by IZZ (IZZ also did the Cage Medley the previous year) Soon(yes) by the Flower Kings You can hear a couple of those by buying the official Calprog bootleg at Calprogs site. WWW.Calrpog.com for those too lazy to look it up. It's only $10.00

	Thats a very good question. I guess the nature of prog ( to be inventive ) really doesn't call for covers.I'd have to say, if there are any tributes being given in prog, it would have to go to the classics, Bach, Mozart, Brahms and the like.

	Malmsteen covered UK-In the dead of night and Rush-Anthem. Dream Theater have covered a lot of bands and are in serious danger of becoming a covers band

	Obviously prog doesnt have near the amount of "standard Repertoire" of jazz of classical or even other forms of rock but has anyone noticed songs that prog bands cover more than others? The only one I can think of is "Carry on Wayward Son" by Kansas which has been covered by Dream Theater and Yngwie Malmsteen amoung others. Edited by walrus333
	If anyone knows where I can get a copy of some Flute and Voice (Indo-Prog/Raga Rock) albums please PM me! Many thanks!
