Yugo-Prog Appreciation Thread

This is a thread for those who don't care about strange, foreigner language if the songs are belonging to the genre of Progressive music. And if they are good ones, of course.
The bands that will be represented in this thread are Progressive rock bands from the 70s in former Yugoslavia. A common thing for Yugo-Prog bands is that they were heavier than most of the progressive rock bands in other continental Europe countries like Italy, France and so on; although heavier, they were still to be prog, which is pretty unique.
I'd like to start the thread with a footage from Smak's one-off open air concert in 2015, at Belgrade's Ušće park. On the front of 50 000 fans - both new, young fans and oldies - they play the opening / title track from their second album Crna Dama ("Black Lady") from 1977.





p.s. All those live footages in this thread will be professional footages as well. Enjoy!

Time Za koji život treba da se rodim (Time LP, 1972)



Translation:

Which life should I have been born for

which life should I have been born for
which judgement day should I live for
and which God should I pray to
and which woman should I love

whose love should I be happy for
whose wounds should I be bleeding for
on which candleholder should I be the candle
which woman should I be naked for

I won't ever know these things
Where the roads of my life are taking me
Whose wish it is, for us to be born, live and die

whose heaven should I be the rainbow for
whose nights should I be light for
which song should I be the sadness for
In whose glass should I be the liquor

whose autumn should I be a harvest for
which painting should I be the brush for
On whose lips should I be the curse
which branches should I be the leaf for

This is my personal favourite song by Smak. So, in the next two posts I will put the vids of studio version and the version from the U.S. release of Crna dama, as the album was re-written in English and re-named to Fantasy for U.S. market and its got an album-jacket that was different than Yugoslav release, UK and then-West Germany releases as well. Btw, in UK, the album got one negative (Melody Maker) and one afirmative review (Guitar Player).
