These are live album from the 1990s. I did not include archival releases or bootlegs, so if the material was not recorded in the 90s, and if it is considered a bootleg, then it does not count for the poll (perhaps could have official bootlegs but I wish to avoid). I also expect it to have been released as a live album in the 90s. And I only wish to include one album per act. Oh, and this is not multiple choice votes, but if the blank options fill up (or mostly fill up) then I might change it to multiple votes later. But please mention any you like. Änglagård - Buried Alive (1994) Camel - Never Let Go (1993) Cardiacs - All That Glitters Is a Mares Nest (1995, recorded 1990) Current 93 - As the World Disappears... (1991) Dead Can Dance - Toward the Within (1994) Dream Theater - Once in a Live Time (1998) Fishmans - 98.12.28 Otokotachi no wakare (1999) French TV - Yoo-Hoo!!! (1997) Peter Gabriel - Secret World Live (1994) IQ - Forever Live (1993) King Crimson - THRaKaTTaK (1996) Marillion - Made Again (1996) Pink Floyd - Pulse (1995) Porcupine Tree - Coma Divine: Recorded Live in Rome (1997) Portishead - Roseland NYC Live (1998) Savatage - Ghost in the Ruins / Final Bell (1995) Swans - Swans Are Dead (1998) Yes - Keys to Ascension (1996) Anekdoten - Official Bootleg: Live in Japan (1998) Arena - Welcome to the Stage (1997) Zappa & Ensemble Modern - The Yellow Shark (recorded in 1992, released in 1993) Dixie Dregs - Bring 'Em Back Alive (1992) (sorry, moved out for Zappa) Fates Warning- Still Life (1998) Peter Hammill - Typical (recorded 1992, released 1999) Magma - Live Douarnenez '92 (1992) Ozric Tentacles - Live Underslunky (1992) I have left spaces for other mentions. Please mention what others you would like in the poll, particularly from acts not mentioned, but not archival or bootlegs please (maybe an official bootleg could be added, but specify then), and it should have been released in the 1990s. And please do not vote for a space until the option is up. Feel free to suggest substitutions if the act has no votes, and of course mention any of your favourites recorded in the 90s. These choices go outside my knowledge and while in Prog polls, two of my favourites not in PA I could not resist adding: the Fishmans and Portishead albums. My other favourites are the Swans, Cardiacs, Dead Can Dance and Current 93 albums (Current 93 not as much, actually). I actually have Peter Gabriel's Secret World on CD-Rom somewhere that I put in the 90s for my computer. Here is playlist of a track off the albums I know well with one per act: EDIT: Added seven more (from Ankedoten to Ozric Tentacles) of those that were mentioned in two posts to fill the spaces that were both recorded and released in the 1990s, thanks. And possibly will be changing it from single vote to multiple votes later if wanted (like vote for your favourite three). I do quite like vote for one even if I added some more. And added The Yellow Shark. ------------- Two tracks per many of my fave acts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - A Youtube Playlist |

I actually looked up The Flower Kings while preparing the poll (in part because I was thinking of you), and while that was recorded in 1998 and 1999, both PA and RYM list the release date as 2000 (29 February, 2000 according to RYM for release). Fine to mention such ones, but unless one can demonstrate that it was both recorded AND released in the 1990s then I would rather not include it in the poll. Björk has plenty of live music recorded in the 1990s that I love, but not released until the 2000s. If suggesting ones, it would help to list the recording dates and release dates. ------------- Two tracks per many of my fave acts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - A Youtube Playlist |

^ Thought you might go with Savatage.
Wonderful album. ------------------------------------------------------- I'm going with Fishmans, which as an I think terrific album. Not in PA, but musically relevant to me. It's a recent listen for me, and I like it all, and it has an over 40 minute live version of "Long Season" (Long Season is one of my very favourite albums from the 90s). ------------- Two tracks per many of my fave acts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - A Youtube Playlist |

I listened to another live one from Savatage (at some point) - Japan Live - if i remember right, as good as if not better than the one in the poll.

Ok, fair enough. To be honest I wasn't sure when it was actually released but know it was at least recorded in the 90s. Thanks for thinking of me though.  Also, there were actually two KTA albums by Yes released back then. I don't have a problem with you just listing one but just wanted to make sure that you know that technically there were two.

^ That;s one of these I have not heard yet.
It so on the cusp that I felt annoyed when excluding it and question my M.O. At least it gets mentioned, which matters more to me than the poll itself. I commonly think about members of the community when I make polls/ topics as well as when I respond to topics, and you are a prominent member of this community. 
I have not heard either, but just went with what I had seen as higher rated at Prog Archives and Rate Your Music. One issue I read with Japan Live was too much annoying noise from the audience. I have been to so many concerts and wanted to get on stage, take over the mic and tell people to shut up. Bad idea. I'm like, "Music listening is serious business!" And my wife is all like, "C'mon, let them have their fun and enjoy themselves." Then I'm like, "Yeah, sure, whatever."  ------------- Two tracks per many of my fave acts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - A Youtube Playlist |

A few not listed yet (based on PA live album search): Arena - Welcome to the Stage Rush - Different Stages (part is 78 but other part is 90s) Frank Zappa - Make a Jazz noise here and the best band you never heard in your life Dixie Dregs - Bring Em Back Alive Camel - Coming of Age Anekdoten - Official Bootleg Ozric Tentacles - Live Underslunky Kenso -In The West Marillion - Live From Loreley Solaris - Live In Los Angeles Peter Hammill - Typical Fates Warning - Still Life I'm not 100 percent sure if all of these were recorded in the 90s (maybe not) but all according to PA were released in the 90s. |

^ Thanks. I knew that Rush one was part archival (part being 70s). Bootlegs, even official, I didn't want to include. The Zappa (Make a Jazz Noise Here) I had looked at and while it was released in 1991, it was recorded in 1988. I'll look into some others where the act is not already represented. EDIT: Come to think, no big deal stretching the parameters a bit to allow lives recorded in the 90s and released not very long after, especially if someone loves that album and wants to vote for it. Recording dates tend to interest me more than release dates. It can get confusing, especially as so many live albums really are compilations of live performances. And some end up actually have some studio works.... So I probably will add The Flower Kings -- I mean the 90s is so close to the official release date. I'm no contortionist but that doesn't mean I can't be at all flexible. ------------- Two tracks per many of my fave acts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - A Youtube Playlist |

This concert is from the Clutching At Straws tour. I have the DVD. I do not know if there ever was a VHS (I'm trying to read on the DVD but the small letters do not help and my eye sight is not what it used to be). Might lave been released late 80s, before Fish left, but it does not matter i guess, great live performance, recommended.

It's a marvellous album. It's only at 55 in the PA live albums from the 90s list. If I don't know PA a little better then I would have expected it to be higher. Here's the PA list (that includes archival releases/ ones with music not recorded in the 90s): https://www.progarchives.com/top-prog-albums.asp?ssubgenres=&salbumtypes=4&syears=1999&syears=1998&syears=1997&syears=1996&syears=1995&syears=1994&syears=1993&syears=1992&syears=1991&syears=1990&scountries=&sminratings=1&smaxratings=0&sminavgratings=1&smaxresults=250&x=91&y=2#list" rel="nofollow - PA's live 90s albums Dead Can Dance is at 19, Swans Are Dead is at 103, and my Current 93 choice is at 140. I'd be very pleased for you to check out music from the playlist and comment (if you desire). I might add a second track for each album I chose one from in the playlist after what I mentioned (all of what I have in the playlist have the full albums on youtube, I think). That Swans live I didn't immediately take to for some reason, preferring the much shorter Omniscience from 1992, but I now think that Swans Are Dead is excellent. The Portishead live album is great, and I adore that version of "Sour Times". From Dead Can Dance, the track I chose is beautiful, and "I Am Stretched on Your Grave" is another highlight. The Fishmans' double-album is, I think marvellous. I chose the long one off it, which is "Long Season". The vocals would be turn-off to some in parts of the track, but I just adore the thing. It does go on quite long, and what groove. I find it rather amazing; hope you appreciate it too. ------------- Two tracks per many of my fave acts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - A Youtube Playlist |

Porcupine Tree from the list. I really like their early psychedelic sound. Some others: Anekdoten- Official Live Bootleg Fates Warning- Still Life Magma- Live Douarnenez '92 ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |
Posted By: Logan

^ Thanks. Still haven't looked through AFKC's (Mike's_ list mostly, but fates Warning would work. Still Life was both recorded and released in 1998. Might opt to include official bootlegs. I dropped the ball big-time by not adding that Magma live. I have more Magma lives than anyone else and for some reason was think that was archival, but of course it was recorded and released in 1992. As it's one of my very favourite bands, that is a major omission and will surely be added. ---------- And from Mike's list, verified: Arena - Welcome to the Stage (1997) Dixie Dregs - Bring 'Em Back Alive (1992) Peter Hammill - Typical (recorded 1992, released 1999) Ozric Tentacles - Live Underslunky (1992) And from both of your lists: Anekdoten - Official Bootleg: Live in Japan (1998). While I was not planning to add bootlegs, official or otherwise, this is too significant a band to want to to miss and I had considred adding this originally. -------------------- Okay, adding: Anekdoten - Official Bootleg: Live in Japan (1998) Arena - Welcome to the Stage (1997) Dixie Dregs - Bring 'Em Back Alive (1992) Fates Warning- Still Life (1998) Magma - Live Douarnenez '92 (1992) Peter Hammill - Typical (recorded 1992, released 1999) Ozric Tentacles - Live Underslunky (1992) Cheers.  ------------- Two tracks per many of my fave acts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - A Youtube Playlist |

I could vote for a lot of these! I went with Live Underslunky because it got more rotation than Forever Live or Keys to Ascension. Others like Ghost in the Ruins and Bring 'Em Back Alive took me longer to get around to hearing. In those days, the Ozrics were an autobuy and I thought they could do no wrong. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

I definitely would have have included Rush had it not been a combination of 90s and 70s material. But at three hours long over I think three CDs with two-thirds being from the Test for Echo tour, and one third being might be thought of as bonus material from the 70s it is at the very least very worth mentioning from a super significant band. ------------- Two tracks per many of my fave acts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - A Youtube Playlist |

Nether do I, but too good, too much of a personal favourite and too well-liked a band by various people at PA to want to exclude. And for its psych/ acid qualities. A psychedelic component or quality is a significant aspect of much of what I love in PA. Wonderful boozy-woozy qualities to Portishead regardless. Portishead's Third is the album by the band that is most related, I believe, for its experimental, Krautrock and post-rock qualities. Fishmans is the other not in PA. Here is the longest track off that live album: ------------- Two tracks per many of my fave acts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - A Youtube Playlist |

Arena - Welcome To The Stage (great selection of tracks especially Jericho which is sublime) Others I know IQ - Forever Live (One of my favourite bands but I don't listen to it much nowadays, but I should! It includes a couple of great versions of tracks that were originally on Nomzamo - No Love Lost and Human Nature. Paul Menel penned the lyrics but it's Pete Nicholls back in the band and singing on here. The shorter version of Last Human Gateway is also very good) Yes - Keys To Ascension (I like the DVD certainly) Pink Floyd - Pulse (full version of DSOTM , say no more!) Anglagard - Buried Alive (it's okay) Porcupine Tree - Coma Divine (yep like it and includes heavier versions of tracks off Signify. Interesting as it is before they fully established the metal sound, but you see where it's going at this point) |

not keen on the electronic drums (Palmer got rid of it for most of the Black Moon tour that followed), so personally I would go for Live In Poland or even Then and Now for 90's ELP live.

From this list: IQ - Forever Live, followed by: Peter Gabriel Yes - Keys to Ascension; great setlist, but dodgy DVD editing. I could add: It Bites - Thankyou and Goodnight; definitely released in 1990 and probably recorded early 1990 (the tour ran across 1989 and 1990). A great Dunnery-era swansong.

For me it's mostly between Fishmans, Swans and Cardiacs here. And I really like that Dead Can Dance. I hope I'm not the only one here to enjoy that Fishmans. I think it's terrific, especially for "Long Season". That is THE standout track from my playlist I made for this for me. Bloody great, I think. I could see some stumbling with the vocals and it likely adds a dimension that I speak some Japanese and perhaps that I worked in Japan in the latter half of the 90s as an English teacher. Not that I ever saw Fishmans in concert. ------------- Two tracks per many of my fave acts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - A Youtube Playlist |
