Magma - Köhntark

Magma - Köhntark (2/3)

Cream - Toad (Royal Albert Hall)
Cream - Toad live at Royal Albert Hall, London.
May 2, 3, 5, 6. 1080p
18 of 22

In May of 2005 Cream returned to London's Royal Albert Hall-to the same stage where they had completed what was thought to be their final performance in 1968. It was one of the most eagerly anticipated, hard-to-get tickets in rock history. With the exception of a brief reunion set at their 1993 induction into the Rock and roll Hall of Fame, Cream had not played together in nearly four decades. This DVD documents Cream's momentous London shows. Performances from each of the four nights are featured and much more. Also included are alternate performances and interviews with Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, and Eric Clapton. Cream formed in 1966 and disbanded in 1968. The band were a prolific and thrilling live act and toured incessantly in their short but remarkable history.

Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet

Thick as a Brick - Tull
A Passion Play - Tull
Brain Salad Surgery - ELP
Tarkus - ELP
Kansas - Kansas

We're Only In it for the Money - Zappa*
(If this is prog rock then put it at #2)

Prog rock is a little tricky to define in most cases. Tull did some but I really don't consider Aqualung to be prog rock. For me Kansas moved from prog rock to pop by Leftoverature. Zappa dabbled in it but was never really limited to the genre. ELP kind of defined prog. rock for me.

King Crimson- In the Court of the Crimson King
Yes- Fragile
