prog rock

[_D_S_J_R_]

Anyone remember the Radio 3 late night show in the mid 70's - was it called 'Sounds Interesting?' The presenter wasn't a young man (Derek Jewell), but all sorts of rock was played. I first heard Brand X and Shamal by Gong on this show..

Great to see Gong here too... Anybody familiar with the <ahem> semi official Paris 1973 and Sheffield 1974 live albums? I think the incredible version of Zero The Hero And The Witches Spell on Live Etc was taken (edited) from the former, and both contain some truly amazing drawn out spacey jamming (that would probably never have made an official release).

Yes I have CDees of the Gong 'Sheffield City Hall' & 'Bataclan, Paris'

As for the Prog Punk question, might I suggest the first fripp solo album Exposure? Perhaps not strictly punk but I suspect he might have been trying to pick up some of the energy and spontaneity, albeit delivered in a fairly proggy way.

Prog was well over by the time that LP came out, Even Punk was a gonner by then..

Well Prog/Punk if you must ask: Peter Hammill 'Nadirs Big Chance'.[Early 1975]

I request that the term "prog rock" is banned for the H/S lexicon .

There is no late 70's Prog

There is no late 70's Prog

Colosseum and Curved Air are two that come to mind.

Well-known late 70's Prog band The Police featured an ex-Curved Air drummer (also married to singer Sonja Kristina) an ex-Soft Machine guitarist and a jazz-rock fretless bass player.
