Progressive Rock Live Albums
Progressive rock or as it’s better known prog rock grew out of the 1960s psychedelia as groups extended the length of their songs (compositions?) with longer instrumental passages to create something almost symphonic at times.
Progressive rock was possibly the dominant musical force in the early 1970s with hard rock and the one that the punk rockers objected to most when they staged their revolution in 1976/77.
The big prog rock groups were Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, King Crimson and Emerson Lake & Palmer plus many smaller groups and they loved releasing live albums.
