WYWH 1975 tour was the height of Rock music of the century.

King Crimson – USA. Such an amazing live album, love the raw energy and power in the perfomance, it really captured the 73-74 lineup at their peak

Excellent performance, excellent cast, excellent choice. Lots of laughter at the end. Love you all—big greetings from Rijeka.

Just like Peart with the Rutsey stuff, Barlow is way too busy on Bursting Out. Playing the Fool for the win.

King Crimson – USA. There might be more inclusive KC live albums, but this one has my favorite version of Larks Tongues (Pt 2) and Exiles, and for me, that decides it. When you can do songs from Larks Tongues in superior versions to that great album, you've got my vote.

Taylot Swift Performed that 10 min. Epic on SNL. I believe she was the Host as well, but not sure and she only played that one song, there were NOT two music breaks. This was a Great Episde fellas. I am going to search out that Eloy Live and Grobschnitt Live as well.

I’m with Scot and Pete on the Playing The Fool pick but if Hawkwind counts as prog I might go with Space Ritual instead. Live Hawkwind always takes me on a trip.

Many great picks. For me it’s Rush’s Exit Stage Left. Honorables: Marillion’s Thieving Magpie, Opeth Garden of the Titans, Styx Caught in the Act. Plus all of Umphrey’s Mcgees annual Hall of Fame live releases.

I have to go with Two for the Show by Kansas. Before autotune, and no overdubs. None needed. It really demonstrates the greatness of Kansas!
@grey-friar
August 2, 2026 at 10:37 am
Not mentioned but worth…
Nektar – Sunday Night At London Roundhouse
Mike Oldfield – Exposed
Saga – In Transit
Marillion – Real To Reel
Porcupine Tree – Coma Divine

Shoutout to Luis for bringing up KC live in Chicago! One of the best I've ever heard, and for sure the best Live Crimson there is IMHO. They did included ContruKtion of Light in there, it's on Disc 2.
Kinda dissappointed no one mentioned any Rush until late. My absolutely fave is Snakes and Arrows Live. Setlist is amazing, sound pristine, and Rush sounds as crisp as always. That's my #1

The Japanese paper sleeve edition of Yessongs sounds a bit better.
