14 More Live Tracks Recorded & Released post-70s

For this list, the first official release of the work under that name had to have been post 70s (Magma had earlier T.H. work). If a work has been released on different sides such as Theusz Hamtaaak before, I combine it. Electric Masada's "Kariam" tracks are separated on the album but listed as one track for my poll and in the video I chose. Some might wish I had gone for the more frenetic Electric Masada but I went with what was the first one I most gravitated to, well that and Abidan.

The first seven are the first seven lives I wished to highlight (my album and track choices), the second seven are based on the PA chart albums but are my song choices based on reading and listening (and I focused on a modern Le Orme track).

My seven:

Magma "Theusz Hamtaahk" Rétrospective Vol. 1 & 2 or Retrospektïw (recorded 1980, released 1981)
Cardiacs "Big Ship" All That Glitters Is a Mares Nest (recorded 1990, released 1995)
Cisnienie "Fratres" JazzArt Underground (recorded 2018, released 2019)
Electric Masada "Karaim" (either track, both) At the Mountains of Madness (recorded 2004, released 2005)
Björk "Isobel" Homogenic Live (recorded 1998, released 2005)
Sufjan Stevens "Fourth of July" Carrie & Lowell Live (recorded 2015, released 2017)
Swans "Love of Life" Omniscience (recorded, 1992, released 1992)

PA charts applicable first seven:

Dream Theater "The Spirit Carries On" Live Scenes From New York (recorded 2000, released 9/11 2001, yikes)
Marillion "Garden Party" Recital of the Script (archival, recorded 1983, released 2009)
Änglagård "Kung Bore" Prog På Svenska - Live In Japan (recorded 2013, released 2014) I wanted to go with "Jordrok", first Anglagard track I ever fell for, but it's not available on youtube.
Steven Wilson "Deform to Form a Star" Get All You Deserve (recorded 2012 or 2017, released 2017 or 2021? Depend on version?)
Le Orme "La Voce del Silenzio" Live in Pennsylvania (recorded 2005, released 2009)
Ozric Tentacles "Pyramidion" Live at the Pongmasters Ball (recorded 2002, released 2002)
Anekdoten "Gravity" Waking the Dead - Live in Japan 2005 (recorded 2005, released 2005)

*Note that the the great Magma's Theusz Hamtaahk - Trilogie would have been the seventh relevant album to the list from PA's charts, but I already covered Magma, and what I could cover off the album is limited on youtube. I would have liked to cover the whole MDK CD as one work. And after that would have been 2015's Live On The Road Of Bones but I already did an IQ live album with Road of Bones in the title featuring the track Road of Bones.

Already covered:

Fishmans "Long Season" (98.12.28 Otokotachi no wakare)      
Portishead "Sour Times" (Roseland NYC Live)
Swans "Blood Promise" (Swans Are Dead)      
Porcupine Tree "The Sky Moves Sideways"
Camel "Rose of Sharon" (Never Let Go)
Rush "Roll the Bones" (Different Stages)

Swans "The Knot" (Deliquescence)
Anna von Hausswolff "The Truth, the Glow, the Fall" (Live at Montreux Jazz Festival)
Cisnienie / Lod 9 "Same Trupy" (Brass Album)      
Vanishing Twin "Cryonic Suspension May Save Your Life" (Pensiero Magico Live Session)
Boris "flood" (Performing "flood")      
IQ "Road of Bones" (IQ40: Forty Years of Prog Nonsense)
Discipline "When She Dreams She Dreams in Color" (This One's for England)
Marillion "White Paper" (All One Tonight - Live at the Royal Albert Hall)
King Crimson "Radical Action (To Unseat the Hold of Monkey Mind)" (Radical Action (To Unseat the Hold of Monkey Mind))
Devin Townsend "Effervescent / True North" (The Retinal Circus)

Feel free to vote with limited familiarity and to vote for any and all of your favourites. Also I would like to hear about other post-70s ones that you enjoy either if they are different songs from the albums I chose or different albums altogether.

Here is a playlist with all of the tracks in the poll. You don't need to check any of this out before voting, but some might wish to (all tracks can be found at least in my region in the embed).

Ozric
Orme
Anek

Steven Wilson. One of his best songs.

I had to look it up. I was convinced that the Ozrics album was Bongmasters Ball not Pongmaster Ball.
