Poll: From a concert of which artist is this clip?

Nick, that comment wasn't just intended for you, but you did seem concerned (interested) about her character and her lack of involvement in this topic (you would have expected better from her and you find the silence and absence sad), other's concern is about who the artist was supposed to be. I am interested in which artist this was supposed to be, and I am interested in more of the context behind the topic, and I am concerned when it comes to Friede as I care about her well-being and I do hope that this topic and people's reactions have not caused too much discomfort. I am curious *cue some irrelevant babble about Schrödinger's cat*

I don't think one should be embarrassed about getting such a thing wrong (we all have our off-times), although it can hurt if one was misled by another. Some of these comments might be seen as a kind of insensitive goading that could cause one shame -- not saying that's the intent, but that might be the perception. Maybe if she was comfortable she would have responded. Not just this topic, but comments on the interest in Barbara Dennerlein by some might be seen as insensitive and uncharitable.

I do think we should be careful when talking about people and getting into their characters, sharing our perceptions and assumptions, and try to be charitable and empathetic (might be "misplaced" empathy as it's internal). Often I do think that it's best to try to talk to that person by PM rather than making public commentary. Maybe this would have been better PMed to you. I also think we should try to be sensitive if it seems one is uncomfortable posting and give that person some space -- who knows what issues that person is going through at the time, unless of course one cares enough to personally contact that person and ask about it.

Anyway, if people are really interested to know more about the topic subject, I do suggest a PM. I am sorry for getting on my soapbox (I rather despise myself for doing that).

Based upon what I read on PA, probably a Rush gig.

It is obviously from a concert with music by Edgard Varèse.

Yes! It's obvious when you think about it. Oldfield fans are f***ing lunatics.

Secondly, it looks like a Slayer concert, not a prog concert. So, I suppose such reactions could be seen at a Deep Purple concert at that time. The other bands in the list were not really that 'heavy' in the 70s. Could be Zeppelin but I doubt it. (And finally, I would be absolutely shocked if this a prog concert - the behavior of the crowd wouldn't make sense)

Nope! We've already determined that the footage is actually not from the 70's and is comprised of numerous different gigs, including a Michael Jackson concert from the 90's.

It's some kind of trick question.

Don't worry...found it now :-)

^ Along those lines, I figured it was best to begin with the last act, as that is possibly the most unlikely to be connected to prog. The track, according to the comments in the YT video is by an artist named Herobust who is a trap ‘n’ bass dj. That, of course, means he samples music. It would appear one of his favourite sources of samples is Art of Noise, and several of the Art of Noise songs he samples are more or less made up of Yes samples. This was probably the case since Trevor Horn, as Art of Noise, had easy access to Yes music to sample.

Ignoring any and all evidence to the contrary, obviously it is Magma. The audiences are reacting to this:
