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

Thanks, fellow progheads for your posts, always nice to see how a thread starts to move 
One addition: the violin-Mellotron eruptions during The Court Of The Crimson King by King Crimson, legendary prog and lots of goose bumps

... 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.

I think mine was listening to Moonmadness (Camel) for the first time. It just had that special something that filled me with pure joy.

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.

... 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!

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
