Progeny: Highlights from Seventy-Two

This collection of the best performances from the Progeny: Seven Shows from Seventy-Two 14-disc box set works as an alternative version of the flawed Yessongs (drawn from the same tour). It also makes the band’s live prowess – and they’re at the height of their powers here – more accessible to those who don’t wish to listen to almost half a day’s worth of the exact same set list. Despite fluctuating sound quality, this presents prog rock’s prime act in their prime. The stellar musicianship makes it obvious why prog became popular in the first place.
