Echoes by Pink Floyd (the whole song)
The choir moments in Atom Heart Mother by Pink Floyd
The mellotron finale in Starless by King Crimson (on Red) - probably the most intense goosebumps I've gotten from prog, and it works every time.

As you mentioned my beloved BOC (which I've been trying to get in here as Prog-Related  ), my personal goosebumps moment from them is the blistering guitar solo in the version of "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" featured on "ET Live". Pure magic!

.... VDGG, The Sleepwalkers, "if we only had time"...
.... Genesis, Seven Stones, when the mellotron kicks in... sometimes the world
... King Crimson, "Lizard", when after the first part Prince Rupert, "Bolero" starts and classical horn goes jazz...
.... Twelfth Night, We are sane, all of it ....
... Yes Soon, oh soon delight...
.... Osanna, Oro Caldo, when the mellotron concludes the first part... freddo caldo freddo caldo
.... Gentle Giant, Wreck, when the string quartet comes in
.... Banco: Canto Nomade per un Prigioniero Politico: IO.... SONO... NATO.... LIBEROooo.....
.... Soft Machine, Moon in June, all of it when Robert Wyatt sings
.... Peter Hammill live singing if I could without microphone (21-10-1987 Milan)
.... Peter Hammill starts the concert of VDGG I've been waiting for 22 years (11-6-2005 Milan): ANDIAMO!

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

Tool's 10,0000 Days Wings For Marie Part 2 when Maynard sings "Fetch me the spirit, the son, and the holy father ..." right into the guitar crescendo.
Tool's Push*t in the middle when the guitar "solo" comes in.
Rush's 2112 the last guitar solo and into Geddy's "My spirits are low in the depths of despair, my lifeblood spill over"/

- Lots of Pink Floyd stuff (almost the entire DSOTM, Comfortably Numb final guitar solo, The Trial, etc.)... Not to mention Roger's scream in Careful With That Axe, Eugene...
- Finale on Lady Fantasy, from Camel, and also the solo on the studio version of Never Let Go
- Ending of King Crimson's Starless, as well as Prelude: Song of the Gulls
- Many passages from Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick, and the intro of Sossity; You're a Woman
- The brilliant Firth of Fifth, especially the ending
- The intro of Anglagard's Jordrok
- Of course, the "Soon" section of Gates of Delirium
- ELP's Take a Pebble
- The first 5 minutes of Eloy's Poseidon's Creation, and many other passages of the "Ocean" album
- Final two minutes of This Heart Of Mine, from Pain of Salvation

"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"

"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

If there's a band that has given me the most goose bumps by listening to their music it has to be Godspeed You! Black Emperor. I'm a fanboy after all.  I don't feel like making a list at this moment, but I pretty much agree with most of the choices mentioned from bands I know of.

And don't forget the abrupt mood change in VDGG's "Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" towards the end.

After more than 50 posts there is much more variety and remarkable, ELP is the least acclaimed symphonic rock dinosaur in this thread and I also miss Gentle Giant. Hackett in Genesis and solo is very popular in this thread 
Good to see Eloy and Novalis mentioned 
Just one more personal goose bumps moment: the violin solo in the final part of Out Of The Blue on the album Viva by Roxy Music, the best Eddie Jobson ever played

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.

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...

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.Camel - When the entire band comes in on "Rhayader".
Alright, there are a ton more, but I'm just gonna stop there. Hooray for wonderful music! |
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.
