Hello fellow progheads.
This evening I listened to Banco their wonderful song R.I.P. and when singer Francesco Di Giacomo delivered his dramatic, very compelling vocals, accompanied by moving piano work, GOOSE BUMPS appeared on my skin although I have heard it so many times
 My other ultimate goose bumps moments in prog are during:
... the final part of Musical Box by Genesis when Peter Gabriel starts to sing "now, now, now.."
... the bombastic, Mellotron drenched eruptions on Zarathustra by Museo Rosenbach
... halfway Ice by Camel when Andy Latimer uses sustain in a way that his guitar seems to howl and scream
.... in the final part of March To Atlantis by Pallas during the majestic choir-Mellotron eruptions
.... halfway La Villa Strangiato by Rush when Alex Lifeson builds up his moving guitar solo
..... the compelling Mellotron intro on Karelia by Anekdoten
..... halfway Close To The Edge by Yes when Rick Wakeman plays church organ, followed by fat Minimoog flights
I am very curious to your ultimate goose bumps moment in progrock

... The fadeout of "Supper's Ready", it's just so... angelic? Epic? Perfect? I don't know, but it gives me chills.
... The ending of "The Triumph Of Our Tired Eyes" by A Silver Mt. Zion. It's so beautiful.
... "The Company" by Fish - every last bit of it. It's fun, it's powerful, and it rocks.
... "Carpet Crawlers"... Just amazing! The ending is particularly spectacular. "Got to get in... to get out..."
... The quiet part of "Sugar Mice", right after the Rothery solo. It's just so magical.
... In the title-track of Brave, the very opening. It's just so dark and pretty.
... Ágætis Byrjun. The whole album... It's just an experience - do yourself a favor, and check it out! -------------

Certainly the intro to Kohntarkosz Anteria, it feels so right and it unfurls in stages, at the precise moments you hope it will. I imagine it's even better for someone who was following Magma since the start who plays the record for the first time and realises that they still have that magic about them... also, the conclusion of King Crimson's "Fracture" is very moving with the repeated stepping passage building to a head, especially after the twiddly, frosty dischord it serves to resolve. ------------- FREEDOM OF SPEECH GO TO HELL |

... The "When the madness comes, let it flood on down" part in The Undercover Man by Van der Graaf Generator. I don't know why but this part just grabs me and sends chills down my spine. ... The climax of Lady Fantasy by Camel. ... Some parts in Can't be long now / Francoise / For Richard / Warlock by Caravan just send me on my back. ... The extremely violent and creepy paragraph that Roger Wooton sings near the end of Song to Comus. ... The Genesis ones that were already said apply to me too. ... The climax and building intensity of I Could Never be a Soldier by Gnidrolog. ... Histoire sans Paroles by Harmonium as a whole. ... The chants in the intro to L'Isola di Niente. ... Many other Van der Graaf Generator songs actually Here it is. They are not all in there but this is a quick list I've just made up. -------------

first of all: I never get any goose bumps. to get goose bumps first of all you have to have hair, and Friede and I painstakingly removed any trace of it from us permanently. but in a figurative sense there are some goose bumps moments. the album that gives me the most goose bumps is Peter Hammill's "The Fall of the House of Usher", especially in the 2nd revised version. act 6 has several goose bump moments which appear in layers, so to speak; if you do have hair it will stand on end when the album finishes. if you like old horror movies, where the heavy doors squeak in their hinges, candles cast flickering shadows everywhere in which rats lurk, cobwebs hang all around and so on, then this album is for you; it is the aural equivalent of it -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

Interesting that Hammill has that effect on you, as I feel that Fish's vocal style is more closely matched to him rather than the usual claim that he rips off Gabriel.
I guess it is the drama in the delivery.

I know you hate it, but it's "The final cut" for me. The album, not just the song. And specially the part where Roger SCREAMS "....and hold on to the dreeeeeeam!" and the last syllable of the phrase merges with the sax solo in such a way that you really think that it's still the voice what you are hearing, as if Roger's breath was endless, but it's the sax, and when you realize it for the first time....Bam! It's so amazing!. I was there eyes and mouth wide open muttering. "what was....how...how...did they...do..that..? ------------- I like Tormato, so shoot me!

Nice thread Erik 
The most beautiful thing i find in progressive music is that it gives me goose bumps like no other music can.
The kind of feeling that some progressive music awakes in me is something i could never describe..
Here is my ultimate goose bumps list :
The midle of the song Epitaph ,flute and mellotron combining slow mellodies between great mellotron eruptions and crying Greg Lake vocals.My favorite song!!!
The start of mellow vocals with warm keyboards,after intense beginning in Sospesi Nell Incredibile by Orme .
The ending minutes of the song L'Evoluzione by Banco(powerful piano with the most emotive vocals).
750,000 Anni Fa ... L'Amore? ...midle of the song,strange and haunting keyboard play by Nocenzi.
Apena un po by PFM ,the remarquable ending with dreamy mellotron .
High Hopes by Pink Floyd,when Dave start to sing 'the grass was greener....''.
Druga strana mene(the other side of me) by Tako,the midle of the song,intense and emotive flute play,then eruptions of powerful haunting hammond organ...wow!!!Shame that it is still so unknown.
Histoire sans parole by Harmonium ,the long mellotron solo...this is the most beautiful sound i ever heard in my life!Here the mellotron is used at its best!
Capitaine coeur de miel in Guet-Apens by Ange,the guitar solo at the end of the song,this is the most emotive guitar play i ever heard and my favorite guitar solo so far.
Mysterious semblance at the strand of nightmare by Tangerine Dream,the whole mellotron used here by Edgar Froese(the entire song is composed with mellotron with synth effects) gives me goose bumps
 .The Web in Script for a Jesters Tear ,the keyboard driven minutes at the midle of the song(if i remember exactly )it makes me cry every time i listen to it.
The second section of Second Life Syndrome by Riverside..the vocals by Mariusz Duda,the guitar by Piotr Grudzinski...you must hear it to feel it
 .The flute and guitar in Firth of Fifth.

Let me get the Marillion moments out of the way first:
-Rothery's guitar solo during the "Fallin' From The Moon" section of The Great Escape (actually the final 15-20 minutes of Brave gives me the warmies) -On Marbles On The Road during "Living With The Big Lie" when H alters the vocals and yells, "The Cold War's gone, but those b*****ds will find us another, and another, and another, and another...." -Marillion's "Easter" (one long goosebump) -Hogarth's vocals on "Beautiful" -"Afraid Of Sunlight". 'Nuff said. -The final moments of "This Strange Engine" -Rothery's guitar solo on "Sugar Mice" -"Fantastic Place" from Marbles -The thunderous boom the band makes during "Gazpacho" after the line, "You can tell it to the ocean" -Rothery's guitar solo on "Neverland" Other: -The guitar solo of Hackett's on "Firth Of Fifth" -Neal Morse's "Cradle To The Grave", the beginning of "12", and the bombastic finale of "Oh, To Feel Him" from Testimony -The finale of "The Great Nothing" -Supper's Ready's finale -Lifeson's guitar solo on "Limelight" -Riverside's "The Curtain Falls" (love the guitar solo) -Ruddess' synth solo on "Octavarium" -Dream Theater's "Surrounded" is one big goose bump -Kansas' "The Wall" -The chorus on Kansas' "Miracles Out Of Nowhere" -IQ's "Harvest Of Souls" -Fudge Smith's drum fills on "As Good As Gold" I'm sure there's more that I'm leaving out.

Top ten in no order, otherwise I'll be hear all day. * The bit in Arena's "Solomon" that starts with the lines "Does it matter to you? In the lion's cage we're all the same" until the end of the song, with a intense guitar melody. * The small segment of Pendragon's "The Shadow" starting with the lines "I ran and I ran, to go as far as I can" * The way Peter Gabriel sings " Let me hear you lies, we're living this up to the eyes. Ooee-ooee-ooee-oowaa. From Supper's Ready. * Andy Latimer's guitar solo from Chord Change. * The part in Marillion's "Warm Wet Circles" starting after the solo with the lines "She nervously undressed in the dancing beams of the Fidra lighthouse" until the end. * The lines "What kind of mother, leaves a child in the traffic, turning tricks in the dark" from Marillion's "When I Meet God." * The line " All the time, I had waited with rage" from Ayreon's "Day Three: Pain." * The repeating guitar melody that starts about half way through Steve Hackett's "Rebecca" * The echoey tremolo picked guitar fills from "The Mars Volta's Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of)" * The first guitar solo from Red Sand's "Blame". I've probably missed a ton of good moments, but oh well. |

At the risk of making everyone puke, Heart of the Sunrise. It was when listening to this song (many years ago, as a kid, headphones on in the dark) that I first disovered how music could be a way of accessing a realm of transcendent experience.

Bravo. Great idea for a thread
Opeth - "Spiralling to the ground below like autumn leaves" section of The Drapery Falls, as well as my favorite of all time "Mist ripples round your thin white neck" section of Bleak.
GY!BE - The monologue at the beginning of Sleep, and when the drums come in after the long intro to "Storm" (gets me everytime)
Caravan - The piano section as well as the "So we'll sail away for just one day" section of In the Land of Grey and Pink.
Porcupine Tree - the "She waits for me" multiple voice part of Heart Attack in a Layby. The sudden fade and "We lost the skyline, stepped right off the map" section of TSMS Phase 1. The "If I called would you come and would you save me" then huge swell in Russia on Ice.
PFM - The acoustic break at 3:31 in Per Un Amico.
Sigur Ros - The first "fo ho" (sorry I don't know what Jonsi's saying) of Saeglopur. The section starting at 4:10 of Staralfur.
Pink Floyd - Naturally, the guitar solos in Comfortably Numb. The beginning of Summer '68. The piano's intro on High Hopes.
Syd Barrett - The first few lines of Terrapin. And of course the "wouldn't you miss me?" section of Dark Globe.
A Silver Mt. Zion - The "there's fresh mead in the club tonight" and then the "lost a friend to..." sections of God Bless Our Dead Marines. Oh and almost forgot about the ending (check my sig).
Jethro Tull - Slipstream and Cheap Day Return. The "won't you have some company" section of Velvet Green.
Camel - When the entire band comes in on "Rhayader".
Ayreon - Michael's first lines "You've been deserted, everyone has left you. You know it's always been that way" in Day Two: Isolation. The beautiful flute in the intro of Day 13: Sign.
Alright, there are a ton more, but I'm just gonna stop there. Hooray for wonderful music! ------------- When the world is sick Can't no one be well But I dreamt we were all beautiful and strong

Good thread! Too many to mention, but here goes.. When Lee's vocals kicks in on 2112. The beautiful "jam" in Nimrodel by Camel (7:00). Renaissance - Scheherazade And Other Stories. The whole album gives me goosbumbs, im not even joking. One of my favourite prog albums ever, simply amazing.
Mainhorse - Pale Sky (8:48). I wanted to shed a tear when I first heard this track. I just love Lockett's vocals.
Comus - Drip Drip (9:05).
King Crimson - Red (7:53).
Novalis - Sommerabend (12:01). Everytime I listen to this track I feel like living in the 70's. Fantastic song from a fantastic band.
I could go on forever but those where what I could think of right now..

- The flute and drum break in the middle of Genesis' "The Musical Box". - The entirety of Van der Graaf Generator's "Refugees", especially the "Toooooooooooooo theeeeeeeeeeee west!" part. - The chorus of Disillusion's "Dread It" with the swirling effects and subtle choir. - The pre-chorus and chorus of X-Japan's "Dahlia" with the clean-tone guitar with a delay. - The intro and piano solo of X-Japan's "Art of Life". - King Crimson's "I Talk to the Wind". - The chorus of Pink Floyd's "Time". - Pretty much every chorus of Pain of Salvation's "Remedy Lane" album. - The intro of Kayo Dot's "The Manifold Curiosity". - Marillion's "Script for a Jester's Tear" (the song). - Steve Hackett's "The Lovers". - The Flower Kings' "A Vampire's View". That's all I can think of now, there are probably many more. |

You know what's going to happen to you, don't you?  OK, back IT... Off the top of my head: - the endings to KC's "Epitaph", "In the Wake of Poseidon" and "Starless"; - the reprise of the initial theme of ELP's "the Barbarian", with Emerson's Hammond going really over the top; - the moment of transition between "Battlefield" and "Aquatarkus" in ELP's "Tarkus"; - Wakeman's spectacular organ solo at the beginning of CTTE's fourth movement, "Seasons of Man"; - Blackmore's blistering guitar solo in Deep Purple's "Child in Time" (preferably the live version from "Made in Japan); - Martin Barre's super-heavy guitar riffing at the beginning of Jethro Tull's "My God"; - the intro to Rush's "Test for Echo" (the song); - the frantic crescendo of the guitar-violin duel in High Tide's "Death Warmed Up". |

WOW, half an hour before I went to bed this night I posted this thread because I was thrilled about my goose bumps during R.I.P. by Banco and eager to known the goose bump moments of other progheads here on Prog Archives. And now I am reading all those enthousiastic, funny and inspired reactions, good to share all those positive feelings
The most wayward remark is (of course
) by my neighbour BaldFriede who was willing to react although she has no hair and therefore not able to experience the pleasure of goose bumps .... Remarkable is the lack of goose bump moments in the progressive electronic music, I miss Vangelis, Larry Fast or JM Jarre so far, only one mentioning of Tangerine Dream (or I have overlooked something?)
 I don't know the bands Kayo Dot and GY!BE but perhaps I have missed something in my prog life
Most mentioned bands/artists are Genesis, Marillion, Pink Floyd, PFM, Yes and Riverside .....
................................but what about Rush, the biggie # 6 and one of the most both hailed as nailed bands on this site
 ? Personally many '76-83-era' songs like YYZ , La Villa Strangiato and Xanadu are one extensive goose bump moment !! Anyway, thanks for your posts

Some that come to mind right now, in no order: - The beginning of Univers Zéro's Jack the Ripper. Bassoon has never sounded so evil. - The mid part of Univers Zéro's Dense, that build-up thing. Beautiful (for lack of a better word) - The trumpet intro to Art Zoyd's Simulacres. - The whole of Trio "Lettre d'Automne" by Art Zoyd. - The beginning of Henry Cow's Half the Sky. - Moya by Godspeed You!

The minute I saw the title of this thread I saw Erik allready mentioning a song I wanted to mention. R.I.P. by Banco - extra-ordinary vocals by Francesco.
Man-Erg, the part from 5.56 to 7.12. Very dreamy. Playing that part over and over again.
Roxy Music, In every Dream home a Heartache: the tracks builds up and up, and then 'I Blew up your Body, but you blew my mind'. That does it every time.

Interesting discussion, here are few of my favourite ones:) YES: maybe the ultimate one - Gates of Delirium (transition from "the battle" to "Soon"), Close to the Edge (Jon's final "I get up I get down"), Endless Dream (Jon's extemely high pitched voice and following Trevor's final solo) RUSH: Jacob's Ladder (spacey middle section, especially version on Exit.. Stage left), cresendo of La Villa Strangiato (also Exit..Stage left) ARENA: majsetic ending of Solomon, Riding the Tide - Mea Culpa STEVE HACKETT: final section of Jacuzzi, heavy - acoustic transition in Tigermoth PORCUPINE TREE: climax of Gravity Eyelids and Russia on Ice TRANSATLANTIC: All of Above finale, My New World final transition from instrumental section - refrain OPETH: Hours of Wealth piano gradation, Windowpane mellotron finale CAMEL: Nimrodel - change from the beginning to guitar - oboe solo, Air Born PRESTO BALLET: finale of The Fringes, gorgeous melody in Bringin' it On PAIN OF SALVATION: the finale of Be - melody originally taken from Imago |

"this feeling, inside me, finally found my life I'm finally free...no longer , torn in two, I learned about my life by living through you....
this feeling insime me, finally found my life, I'm finally free
no longer, torn in two, living my own life by living through you
we'll meet again my friend.... someday soon...." (instrumental climax)
 (tears of joy)That is enought to give me a lot of goose bumps... there a re a few more, mostly reserved for classical music (the "gilt es nicht" cymbal in the climax of the Adagio in Bruckner's Seventh a quick example), but in prog, as well as the one I just quoted, I could remember the finale in Leonardo (Amore Sol).... Roads of Thunder in Shadow Gallery's Tyranny.... the moment Steve Hackett plays the melody the flute played at the beginning of the instrumental part in Firth of Fifth (so incredible, so incredible... ), the arrival of the last chorus in TFK's "In the eyes of the world".... The magnificent guitar solo in "learing to Live" by the same guys that play the song I just quoted....  ... wait, there are a few after all..... -------------

I agree with The T about Finally Free.
Also, Hoppipolla by Sigur Ros and Pyramid Song by Radiohead are just beautifully chilling throughout. Add "House With No Door" to that list.
And of course, first minute or so of "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight" -------------  <font color=white>butts, lol[/COLOR] |

"There's an angel standing in the sun, and he's crying in a loud voice,
this is the supper of the mighty one. God of Gods, king of kings, has
returned to bring his children home, to take them to the new Jerusalem." Also, that part towards the end of "Heart of the Sunrise" by Yes And the guitar solo in "Firth of Fifth" by Genesis And the outro of "Starless" by King Crimson And the xialaphone on "Shadow of the Hierophant" by Steve Hackett And the end of "The Gates of the Delirium" by Yes And towards the end, when they play the opening flute line in "Histoires sans paroles" by Harmonium And the opening of the second "Hut of Baba Yaga" by ELP is astounding And the transition from "The Talking Drum" into "Larks' Tongues in Aspic Part Two" is always fantastic. And the very very end of Thick as a Brick Part 2 But Supper's Ready is always number one |

Great thread, Erik! When I hear this stuff, I can't sit, but if I move around I feel the need to lay dawn and crouch... can't explain it better. YES - "Relayer" - somewhere around minute 12 of "Gates of Delirium", when White's thunderous drums come to close in glory the climatic build-up. I don't know the name of the respective sections. - "Siberian Khatru" - the moment when Wakeman's keyboards go "harpsichord" (as I said somewhere else, one of my greatest eargasms), followed then by the guitar notes Pink Floyd - "Interstellar Overdrive" - the moment when the main riff comes back at the end of the jam - practically every build-up start for "Echoes" is great. In the "Live at Pompeii" movie, from 9:00 to 10:00 there is a fabulous rhythmic interplay between drums and guitar, just after a growing guitar solo. The hair on my back stands! Then come 15 seconds of "silence" controlled by the bass line, making way for Gilmour to start making his guitar scream. Eargasm! Another climatic moment that sends shiver to my spine is the major, final come-back after the final, growing jam section. In the movie, it's at 7:20 minutes before the end. Mindblowing! King Crimson - easy one, the "Starless" outro! Masterpiece of goose bumps. Nektar - "A Tab in the Ocean" and "Desolation Valley" hold many Floydian climatic moments; excellent tracks! However my favourite is the "happy" intro (the first minutes) of side one on "Remember the Future". It seems to require dancing from my body! (which is of course something I can't provide). ..... and many, many more. ------------- "PA's own GI Joe!"

Thanks Andu and great call with Interstellar Overdrive by Pink Floyd I was a 70-79 Pink Floyd fan until a Sixties freak let me listen to The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, I was blown away, what an excellent progressive blend of pop, rock and psychedelia. The composition Interstellar Overdrive (also on video/DVD) has a very exciting guitar riff, then Syd starts with his mindblowing guitar work, so innovative and hypnotizing, when it tends to sound too freaky he returns to his great riff and the band explodes, GOOSE BUMPS, one of the highlights in the psychedelic era

I seem to agree with a lot of what has been said above...
That part of "In the Land of Grey and Pink" is what made me fall in love with the song. It's incredible. And I agree about "Rhayader." The song is great, and then it gets so much better at the moment where the entireband comes in.
This is one for me, too. Another (going prog-related here) is the "there's a feeling I get/when I look to the west" line of Stairway to Heaven. Perhaps the term "west" has some sort of special significance for me. Also, a major one for me is: "They eat without a sound/digesting England by the pound." A lot of "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight" gives me 'goosebumps'. I get them a lot at the beginning and even more after Gabriel delivers that line. They return somewhat in "fat old lady" section, at the first mellotron flourish (probably a bad word to describe it) before the lyrics start up again. |

Why? I love Heart of Sunrise. Bruford's drums build-up get me goosebumps all the time. Anyway, I'm Terryl from Thailand. Since my discovery of prog almost ten years ago, i've always got goosebumps listening to those prog masters. So, this is what I come up with, without any order of any sort. Cirkus' Letter to Simone, from their third and least known Pantomyme album. Pretty mellow, cheesy but beautiful. Kansas' Hopelessly Human. It's the chorus part. Mickey Simmond's piano prelude in his solo album, the shape of rain. Pain of Salvation's alternative version of Ashes in 12.5. Pink Floyd's The Trial from the Wall. That majestic phrase "Tear Down the Wall!" Rick Wakeman's intro and Finale of Return to the Center of the Earth Arena's Sirens, from Pride Album. The last parts of the song in particular . The first verse of Vangelis & Anderson's Horizon, from The Private Collection album. There are more, but I have to work now. Maybe later. ------------- And who are we to justify the right in all we do Until we seek, until we find Ammonia Avenue http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrmJ39j58W0 |

Can - In 'Paper House' from Tago Mago, when Damo screams ''YOU JUST CAN'T GIVE THEM NO MORE!'' repedeatly... Electric Light Orchestra - In '10538 Overture', when the loud, bombastic cello fills the speakers... Also when Jeff sings ''Did you see the man... Running through the street today?'' Godspeed You! Black Emperor - In 'Antennas To Heaven', at 05.21 after the moving buildup, the loud burst comes. The guitar is tear jerking I tells ya! In 'The Dead Flag Blues', the last four paragraphs of the spoken words... Hawkwind - In 'You Shouldn't Do That', about four minutes in, when you hear the whispers going ''Shouldn't do that... Shouldn't do that... Shouldn't do that...''. Jethro Tull - In 'Thick As A Brick', the section starting at 17.34, when Ian sings ''I see your shuffle in the courtroom... etc.''. Gets me every damn time. King Crimson - In 'Lizard' at 14:24, that saxophone riff is so awesome, and the flute going nuts is great... 'Starless', the middle buildup. Begins as a gentle guitar crescendo, then ends as a frantic one... Pink Floyd - 'Breathe', the whole song is so lovely... 'The Great Gig In The Sky', as soon as the vocal solo starts I get blown away! 'Brain Damage', the chorus is amazing. Goosebumps everytime... Also, the fading heartbeat in 'Eclipse' is gets me as well. Sigur Rós - In 'Starálfur', at 02:27... What seems to be the ''chorus''. It is tearjerkingly beautiful... The Beatles - In 'A Day In The Life', when John sings the first verse, and the final piano chord. Van der Graaf Generator - In 'A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers', the opening, almost foggy D minor chord is one of the biggest goosebump moments in my life... -------------

I love the version on "The Dark Side of the Moon", but the Pulse version leaves me completely cold. they needed 3 different women to have it sung live, and none of them reaches the emotional peaks of Claire Torry, not by a mile. and why the heck did they have to repeat that emotional outburst note for note, which is my biggest complaint? this passage screams (in a double sense of the word) for an improvised rendering ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

it's simple. being able to see the singer doubles the emotional impact; visual contact remains the strongest way to send emotional messages. i couldn't comment on the musical quality of the piece, but i enjoy it a lot; and the singers exchange is a brilliant surprise for me, that i also enjoy.

Well, to be honest, that’s pretty hard to decide…let’s see (in no particular order!): · Cirkus (King Crimson): the interplay of piano and sax after the first one or two (I don’t remember really)…simply beautiful. · Unevensong (Camel - version from A Live Record): the delicious finale of Mel Collins and Andy Latimer sharing duties backed by the terrific drums of Andy Ward…very good ending of a live song (that could be a thread…uhmmmm…). · The whole Au Dela Du Delire…chaos and beauty at the same time! · The whole Godbluff…I can’t think of any moment here that don’t cause me goose bumps, it’s just that simple, that album is a masterpiece from beginning to end. · Migration (Camel - version from A Live Record): that midpart arrange…my god!!! Amazing!!! I could say “the whole live rendition of The Snow Goose” …but that probably would bothers you… · Pictures of a City (King Crimson): the best beginning of a song! (a new thread as well…uhmm) · Winter Wine (Caravan): that guitar riff from Pye repeated over and over…beautiful. · Nine feet underground (Caravan): I hope not to cause any traumas The best for last… · Master Builder (Gong): The whole song is gorgeous…the mantra intro, the entering of Moerlen at his best, then Bloomdido and his sax…and then the lyrics…I could go on and on…excellent! · And this, without a doubt, cause goose bumps to all of us…the great Hillage guitar solo of FIRTH OF FIFTH!

Most recent Rush goosebump moment, listening to the Far Cry sample online. To say I'm estatic about the new release is an understatement.
Obligatory other non-Rush goosebumps:
End of Supper's Ready (its so denouement )
Beginning of Marillion's live CD right as the the intro ends....perfect.

I don't think anyone's mentioned the "Celestial Voices" section of Saucerful of Secrets, although I prefer the many live versions out there ie. Pompeii, Montreux etc. I also especially like the live "Funky Dung" sections in Atom Heart Mother. Others I would include that haven't been already mentioned include the last 8 minutes of Karn Evil 9, the finale of Deep Purple's "Mistreated," the second half of Jethro Tull's "Passion Play,"
the intro of Jethro Tull's "Wind Up," the second half of "Utopia Theme" by Todd Rundgren's Utopia, the intro to "In the Cage" by Genesis, but preferably live. There's so many more, but that's what creeps to the top of my head right now.

For me:
PINK FLOYD MOMENTS: 1. the distant voice at the end of DSOTM saying "There is no dark side of the moon. Matter of fact, it's all dark."
2. Wish You Were Here: remembering the subject of the song.......
3. "Stop! I wanna go home. Take off this uniform and leave the show. But I'm waiting in this cell because I have to know. Have I been guilty all this time?"
Jethro Tull Moments: 1. the acoustic section of Aqualung
2. Windup: It just so TOTALLY fits into my frame of mind concerning religion.
YES moments: 1. Close to the edge: the entrance of the synth on Cord of Life.....
2. Machine Messiah..... for some reason the song just hits the right nerve.
Rush moments: 1. The finale of 2112
2. Limelight....
3. On their first live album: the re-entrance of the riff from Working Man......
NON PROG:
Bowie moment 1: hearing Ziggy for the first time.....
2. from Ashes to Ashes: "I've never done good things, I've never done bad things, I've never did anything out of the blue....."
Blue Oyster Cult: 1. the guitar solo in Astronomy on "Some Enchanted Evening."
2. Patti Smith saying : "You're boned like a saint, With the consciousness of a snake." at the start of the "Revenge of Vera Gemini"

I'm probably the only one on the archives that'll say this, but just about every single T.a.T.u song played extremely loud results in a massive amount of goosebumps -------------

-Almost all of In The Court Of The Crimson King, especially the first time I heard it. The mellotron on Moonchild in particular, especially the opener. -Several parts of Close To The Edge, particularly the beginning of Wakeman's solo. -Many Pink Floyd moments: Breathe, several parts from Shine On You Crazy Diamond, most of Wish You Were Here (the song), the finale of Dogs, the guitar solo at the end of Pigs, quite a few songs off of The Wall (Goodbye Blue Sky, Comfortably Numb, Stop, Vera), the ending of Echoes, and the horns and the vocalizations from Atom Heart Mother -Most of TAAB -------------

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssss!!! Pulse is anything but emotional!!! Actually, the best way to enjoy Pulse is watching the dvd for its visual effects and stage performance while listening to the original songs with headphones ------------- "You want me to play what, Robert?"

Dealing with some less familiar or previously unmentioned examples, in no particular order,
From albums 1. Gentle Giant - instrumental and guitar solo on 'His Last Voyage' and the middle section of 'The Advent of Panurge' 2. Genesis - 'Chamber of 32 doors', particularly the closing vocals. 3. Caravan - guitar solo on 'No backstage Pass' and all of 'Chance of a Lifetime'. 4. Audience - sax solo in 'House on the Hill' and the flute/sax solo on 'Priestess' . 5. Fruupp - Fender rhodes solo on 'Sheba's Song' and the whole orchestral ending, esp. those French horns. 6. Hatfield and the North - last segment of 'Mumps' esp. the spacey/jazzy riff with flute. Live performances 7. Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - Victor Wootten's rendition of 'Amazing Grace'[on the 'Live at the Quick' DVD]. 8. Roger Waters Darkside of the Moon Tour - Carol Kenyon's scat version of 'The Great Gig in the Sky' as seen live in Sydney [Aust] on 25/1 /2007. It' all good. ------------- Looking still the same after all these years... mrgd |

I can't agree more. And I forgot this song as one of my all-time favorites. My older brother used to sing and play that song on guitar in his room when I was a kid. It brings back chills when I hear it. Especially the quiet
"I dont believe you:
You had the whole damn thing all wrong" Overall, that song nails much of my ideology towards the elders/preachers of the Christian religions, particularly Catholism. -------------
