Now I feel like revising my list to include Extraterrestrial Live.

Yea I was surprised nobody mentioned BOC. I was lucky enough to have seen them twice and they put on a great show. Also surprised to see no Humble Pie Mentioned, my favorite live album!


And nobody includes Kansas in these kinds of lists, usually, but a top five is just too hard, anyway.

I'm not going to participate because I don't feel I've heard enough live prog albums. I've heard some but not enough to really be fair about it. I'd be leaving out too many simply because I haven't heard them. For example I haven't heard the live albums by ELP, Camel (first one), Jethro Tull, Marillion, hardly any live Rush after Exit Stage Left and others.

You know, with both Fracture and Starless added on to the Reissue, a decent album is made here... eventually. The sound quality is pretty good, the interpretations of several tracks sufficiently varied, the addition of non-album track Asbury Park gives added value, and the performance of Starless in particular sends shivers down your spine... while it may not be a classic, I feel far from the sort of 'short changed' feeling that Earthbound left me with??

The quality of the recording is good.

I personally prefer Fairfield Halls over Symphonia.. I believe the latter was a bit rushed and under-rehearsed. It's a shame they didn't release the former at the time instead, however I would have liked a little more included from Waterloo Lily?

I've always thought 'Bursting Out' to be a very strong live offering; full of energetic performances, well recorded and having been released on the Heals of HH, arguably just at the right time for the band? You could say it's a bit 'greatest hits' but I don't feel there's anything wrong with that, and the versions of TaaB and Aqualung are really good... when I think of bands who have underwhelmed in terms of a live document during the peak of their career, I couldn't could JT among them?

An iconic live album by the best line-up, made even better by the 2004 expanded reissue.

To you and me, that whole list represents the basics, but I guess it could be generational and we all listen to different things... I mean, I've heard less than 10% of the stuff Greg puts in his polls, for instance!

Mike's in our age bracket. I guess he's just really taking his time getting around to hearing certain albums. I thought everyone had heard Welcome Back, My Friends by now.

I need to hear more of the stuff Greg's polls consist of. In most cases, I've heard some but not enough.

5 Live Albums:

Henry Cow - Concerts
ELP - Welcome Back...
Yes - Yessongs
Genesis - Live
Zappa - Roxy

Shortchanged:

For this I read, 'cynical cashing in' so:

ELP - Works Vol. 2 (I love ELP but...)
Gong - Live Etc. (released without the band's approval)
Yes - Yesterdays (just to give us 'America')
Zappa - Studio Tan etc. (record company machinations - Zappa wanted 'Lather')
Rush - Exit Stage Left (pointless)

I actually feel that Bursting Out along with Live at Knebworth together have nearly all their best songs in their best versions.
