I thought Steve Hackett's 'Once Upon A Time' was one of the greatest, as he delivers perfect versions of his best solo work, and with one of the best bands he's ever had (he's had quite a few). Uriah Heep's 'Magician's Birthday Party' is another favourite- superb gig. Jethro Tull's 'Living With The Past' is another great one, with the band on top form. I also really enjoy Caravan's 1990 original line up reformation (I'm not such a fan of the more recent DVDs Caravan have released). |

Talking of Neal, the Spock's Beard double DVD 'Don't Try
This At Home' and 'The Making of V' are worth a look. The former is the band
live in  The extras on both DVD are worth a look as well (if only for the footage of Mike Portnoy playing 'June' with the band). ------------- I must remind the right honourable gentleman that a monologue is not a decision. - Clement Atlee, on Winston Churchill |

It's very nice ... any Beard fan should have that disc, because you'll never be able to see them together like that again. I really like the part where Nick comes forward and joins Neal and Alan for a little 3 acoustic guitar extravaganza ... ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

Sorry...  Their performance on BBC
Sight & Sound is a rip-roarer too, even if it contains some of the
less-brilliant Missing Piece material. I wonder if that'll ever make it
onto a proper DVD...

King Crimsons deja VROOOM-dvd is till among my personal favorites. But I hope that the new early live Genesis-dvd will rock harder than anything! PS If only there was such a thing as a "Lamb Lies Down On Broadway"-live dvd...

Right now I'm totally diggin on Stars and Gardens by Echolyn. These
guys are phenomenal live, soaring and symphonic, but with a sense of
intimacy that many of the more bombastic prog bands lack. Also, nods to those that mentioned Transatlantic - Live in Europe and KC - Deja VROOOM. Props. Live at Loreley by Marillion has been a longtime fave, even though I only have the VHS  Does 200 Motels count? Its got some performances, but its more of a "conceptual" video piece to illustrate his orchestral compositions. Either way, after you watch it about 5 times, it really starts to make sense (I'm worried that it's because the film is actually rewiring my brain)  EDIT: P.S. Trouserpress, I'm jealous of yer GG DVD, too.
