ELP were formed after Greg Lake left King Crimson following Crim's first American tour (Oct-Dec 1969). I saw Yes in Cardiff (1970's) and enjoyed the concert but I don't think they are in the same league as Crim. Personally I dont feel that their style has moved on one iota since the late 60's, surely a contradiction if they are being viewed as progressive. Now there are two splinter groups vying for the Yes name. Crim have always been in front of the music scene in my view in my humble opinion and gave birth to the term progressive rock > Prog Rock, superceding the former underground music.
