I saw the Brit Floyd tribute show last Friday at Red Rocks. They sounded great (almost exactly like the Floyd, seriously!), and they played my all time favorite Floyd/prog/overall song (Echoes!) as well. Great show, cheap tickets, great seats, and an amazing night of Pink Floyd music from this great tribute.
I consider drone metal to be progressive...

I have not seen Genesis, but to make up for it I saw the Muscial Box three times as well as Steve Hackett.
 
Unfortunately I did not see Transatlantic or Spock´s Beard, something would love to have done
I saw Rush in the spring of 1977 (A Farewell To Kings tour) It was quite something!

I am happy to say that I've seen Iron Maiden live at the height of their most proggiest endeavors. Certainly seeing DANCE OF DEATH and onward. Missed out on the BRAVE NEW WORLD TOUR.

I've seen Devin Townsend and Jethro Tull live, they're two of my all time favourites. Super happy I went to JT especially.

I'm probably never gonna see Pink Floyd, and if I do, it's impossible for it to be what I consider the real Pink Floyd. Anything with Waters and Gilmour on the same stage would be magnificent, though...

I missed Roger Waters performing DSotM on Roskilde Festival some years ago, I really hate my drinking habbits on festivals for it.

I've seen Roger Waters perform The Wall and it was amazing. I've also seen a danish tribute band called, in its glorious innovation, The Pink Floyd Project, which totally kicked ass... It was about 100$ for a ticket, but it was really worth it... I guess I've had a little Pink Floyd live experience, which I'm grateful for.

I don't think I'll see King Crimson ever really.

It is theoretically possible to see VdGG, but since I'm from Serbia (they're not very popular there) and I'm only 16, chances are very VERY slim. In other words, impossible.

Rush isn't really my top top band, but I'd like to see them, which would be more possible since they are big. But I don't think they would come here...

Oh, and I got to talk to Steve Hackett after the concert both times. He appeared to enjoy talking with his fans. Very class act.

I saw my two favorites.
I saw Steve Hackett twice in Buffalo NY on two different US tours, sometime in the nineties at two small venues I can't remember.
I saw Fank Zappa once in Buffalo NY sometime in the late eighties or early nineties at Shea's Theatre.

I saw Jethro Tull twice, again in Buffalo NY. Once in the eighties at the Buffalo Auditorium and once in the nineties at Shea's Theater.
I saw Genesis but only as a three man group.
I never saw Jade Warrior. Has anyone?

I saw for Roger Waters for my very first and thus far, only concert ever. I had been into Pink Floyd for a while, but my freaking god. This was amazing! Anyways, I'm planning on seeing a PF tribute in a couple weeks (Brit Floyd). Otherwise, I haven't. Yes and Procol Harum passed through and I seriously considered tickets, but I didn't act quick enough. I really, really, really wanted to see Ian Anderson on his TAAB2 tour, but after hearing a recent live recording of Aqualung... nope. I would've definitely seen Dream Theater if they passed anywhere near Denver, but they only went through Texas and Missouri (the closest). I may attempt to see Neal Morse and Mike Portnoy in October when they come to town.

TL;DR - Yes, I technically have.
I consider drone metal to be progressive...
