The style of music people tend to associate with Pink Floyd "psych-prog-space rock" hasn't been my cup of tea for a long, long time. But, thinking back to the one time I saw them, they absolutely tore it up. A really fierce rock band at their peak on the "Animals" tour (floating pig, notwithstanding).
Yes was the same deal. I don't spin the records anymore, but the live shows are memorable for the playing as much as the production values. Partly, because these bands usually have soloists who can really play. Pink Floyd specifically included.
The prog thing may be a little much for the purists who don't think that it has aged well (generally including me), but -IME- the live shows often feature great rock n roll, even if it is wrapped in way too much ribbon. I will try to catch this one when they hit LA.
