Okay I guess we all know that what Prog is concerned it's an "us-knows-us" bunch of musicians, and they frequently guest on each other's albums or tour with each other or form super groups.
And so it also shouldn't be that big a surprise that they play each other's songs and with them being PROG musicians giving the songs their very own twist. So I figured it to be fun to start a thread in which we showcase well known prog tunes played by bands and musicians that had nothing to do with the originals.
Here's Yes members Billy Sherwood, Chris Squire and Allan White performing Pink Floyd's "Comfortably numb"

People have described The Beatles' "Sgt Pepper" to be one of the first Prog albums, here's Yes covering a tune which states that the influence started earlier than that.
