The Show That Never Ends is the behind-the-scenes story of the extraordinary rise and fall of progressive ("prog") rock, epitomized by such classic, chart-topping bands as Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, and Emerson Lake & Palmer, and their successors Rush, Styx, and Asia. With inside access to all the key figures, Washington Post national reporter David Weigel tells the story with the gusto and insight prog rock's fans (and its haters) will relish.

An interesting overview

A good listen. I learned about a few bands I had never heard of.
I got the impression that most of the material was gleaned from magazine articles and published books.
I can't decide whether the author actually likes Prog. At times admiring, and at others dismissive. You always get the feeling, through the book, that the Prog story will not end well.
The performance was adequate, but did not add to the book. A few mispronunciations along the way. (Moog rhymes with vogue)
For the Prog fan, there will plenty of "oh yeah, I remember that". Those memory pictures make this book worth the price of admission.
