Tonight I start off with some classic Progressive Rock with music from Genesis, Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett recorded Live, a classic Strawbs selection as well as music from Jean-Michel Jarre.

Hour 2 starts off with King Crimson from their classic 1973 album: "Larks Tongues In Aspic", we'll listen to Part 1 of the title track, Live King Crimson is next from the Live album "Radical Action to Unseat The Hold of Monkey Mind". I switch gears slightly into a more Progressive Jazz/Rock mood with music from Return To Forever and then some live Pat Metheny Group recorded in 1978 at The Bottom Line in NYC, and another Live cut from "The Road To You".
