My gosh, do I get nostalgic/sentimental when the keys and flute hit during that middle section. It's like sipping a hot cup of coffee and staring out your front window on a mid-winter's morning...

Supertwister packs more prog into three minutes than some groups do with 10-20 minute epics.

The history of humankind is to ignore some of the most artistic people.

That is a fact.

Sad fact...pass the word on..

Yup. I’m sure this blatant bragging will make you rich and famous. And 50,000 for a gig doesn’t seem like a joke. I didn’t laugh anyway.

Many years later I was listening to a Genesis boot from '75 maybe?  A period of time when Bruford was filling in on the tour, and on Cinema Show after "there is in fact more earth than sea...", where the pace quickens a bit and the music becomes enjoyingly intense, a little drum fill and Tony plays the most beautiful melotron melody, where the drums provide an end to each melotron line, and it builds and builds, until an angelic chorus wraps up this most amazingly beautiful segment of one of the best tunes of all time.
 
In two different ways, in two different life times, this music spoke to me very personally.  Maybe even bookends to a certain part of an uncertain life.

It's certainly nice to meet another Genesis and Yes fan. Welcome! Any other favorite prog bands you enjoy?
 
Thank you, and greetings to you as well!  Still trying to get my head around what prog entails, you know, what makes a band or a song prog.  But from perusing this site, it seems Floyd, Tull, ELP, and Rush fit the bill.  Have always dug these bands.  Caught Tull on the Stormwatch tour, great show!  My older siblings saw them at the Hollywood Bowl for the TAAB tour.  They told me they played for 45 minutes, then Ian said, "and now for our next number."

If I was asked to explain what prog rock is, I would have played Can Utility and the Coast Liners. It contains the essence of prog: the instrumentation, the modulations, the odd time signatures, the incomprehensible lyrics LOL (unless you know the anecdote about king Knud) and even a part sounding a bit like free jazz. And this epic lasts for less than six minutes.
