VA - LIVE! Progressive Rock (A Butterboy Compilation) (6 x CD's) PART 2

LIVE! Prog

VA - LIVE! Progressive Rock (A Butterboy Compilation) (6 x CD's)   PART 2

Prog is an adventure, a bridge between pop immediacy and classical structure that challenges musicians and fans alike. At the turn of the 70's, the sudden shift in musical emphasis from singles to albums gave rock bands a chance to stretch out and investigate grooves not built for dancing and plangent melodies that take the ear on an emotional gallivant to unexplored locations. Inspired by symphonic form, the rigors of modern jazz, and great works of literature, prog rockers such as King Crimson, Yes, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer set out to discover different sonic landscapes and create a new language for popular music. This questing spirit, upheld in subsequent years by The Mars Volta and Muse, encourages longer song suites as musicians wrestle with uncanny time signatures, dense mystical poetry and devilish chord structures on an eternal quest to find the lost chord. (Amazon)

The feeling of a live concert is almost impossible to replicate perfectly. but these tracks all exhibit a live feeling and sound reminding us of the times we were exported to another moment in time. Enjoy!

Here is LIVE! Progressive Rock...

  2. Hey Butterboy,
    many thanks for your tasteful shares, i am a true follower.

    Have you ever stumbled across the A.V. Club Undercover Series?
    That would be a real smash!

    1. Hi Kurt.
      Thank you for your kind comments.
      I am familiar with the A.V. Club over a number of years now. Unfortunately I don't have A V Club audio but agree it would be a great project to pull together.

      Cheers.

  3. Thanks BB, I'm not a specialist in Prog, but there's a band I really like in your selection, it's Kraan. Their 1975 live show is amazing! Great live.
    Thanks, I'm going to listen to these compilations this weekend.
    Nice day for you
    Cheers

  5. Hey BB, I see the Flower Kings, but you know that band Transatlantic, an ex Marillion, Dream Theater & Flowers Kings.
    I can't help but leave the link to that London gig:

    1. Hi Kevin,
      Not sure why you are having that problem as there have been hundreds of downloads so far.
      I have now split the file so please try again and see if that helps.

      Cheers
