Steve Hillage Live Herald 1977 1978
Live Herald is a live album by Steve Hillage.
When it was originally released in 1979 as a double live album on vinyl, side four consisted of studio recordings – Talking To The Sun, 1988 Aktivator, New Age Synthesis and Healing Feeling. These have since been replaced by a live recording of Solar Musick Suite.
Locanda Delle Fate Live 1977
Locanda Delle Fate Live is a live album by Italian prog rock band Locanda Delle Fate which was recorded in 1977 but not released until 1994.
I don’t know much about this group except that they recorded a terrific debut studio album in 1977 called Forse Le Lucciole Non Si Amani Piu. It’s highly recommended to anyone who likes symphonic prog and doesn’t mind the singing in Italian. I don’t understand it but that hasn’t stopped me enjoying opera.

Camel A Live Record 1974 to 1977
A Live Record is the first live album released by progressive rock group Camel. It is a compilation of recordings from concerts in 1974, 1975, 1976 and 1977.
It includes a complete performance of the band’s breakthrough album, The Snow Goose performed with the London Symphony Orchestra in 1975.
The members of Camel in 1974 and 75 were:
- Andrew Latimer: Guitar, Flute, Vocals
- Peter Bardens: Keyboards
- Doug Ferguson: Bass
- Andy Ward: Drums, Percussion
Doug Ferguson had left by 1977 and there were two new members for the 1977 recordings:
- Mel Collins: Saxophones, Flute
- Richard Sinclair: Bass, Vocals
This is the unfortunate problem with live compilations since the change in members tends to alter their sound.

Barclay James Harvest Live Tapes 1977
Live Tapes is the second live album from Barclay James Harvest and was released in 1978. It was recorded on the 1976 and 1977 tours.
I’ve got a soft spot for this live album because I nearly went to see BJH on the Octoberon tour. As a schoolboy, money was tight and it was either these guys or Be Bop Deluxe.
I am treating this stage of Barclay James Harvest on the progressive rock / art rock border.
Barclay James Harvest Live Tapes – Overall Rating – 24/30
Emerson Lake & Palmer Works Live 1977
Works Live is a live album of an Emerson, Lake & Palmer concert in Montreal, Canada that also featured a 70 piece orchestra that nearly bankrupted the group.
Parts of this album were previously issued as Emerson Lake & Palmer In Concert.

Yes Yesshows 1976-78
Yesshows is the second live album from Yes and captures the group live between 1976 and 1978. This is when Yes and the other dinosaur bands were being challenged by punk.
During the period Yes changed keyboard players with Patrick Moraz leaving and Rick Wakeman returning. Moraz plays on the two very long tracks, The Gates of Delirium and Ritual – Nous Sommes du Soleil with Wakeman on the others.

Genesis Seconds Out 1977
One of my favourite progressive rock live albums is Seconds Out by Genesis. It was recorded in 1976 and 1977 in Paris on the tours for A Trick Of The Tail and Wind and Wuthering.
I must admit to an element of bias in favour of this rather than Genesis Live.
I was first introduced to Genesis through a review of A Trick Of The Tail in a weekly music paper called Sounds and bought both Wind and Wuthering and Seconds Out as soon as I saw them. I also saw Genesis live in Stafford in 1976 or 1977.
This means I never had any trouble with the move from Peter Gabriel to Phil Collins as the lead singer and have a mixed opinion of the Gabriel era Genesis.
For some reason the Trespass and Nursery Cryme studio albums have made little impact with me and I believe The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway is both overblown, over-complicated and over-rated.
