Dramatic 1970s Prog Songs?

Same here, but then I realised that the OP is seeking dramatic prog songs from the 70s, as it's clear in the topic title, whereas "Epitaph" still belongs to the sixties... Perhaps this one as a substitute?

Thank You Doctor

I got into them on Lark's Tongues in Aspic, which I liked and this album was even better then ...  The one thing ... that version of this piece with the 3 drummers in the toob is also fantastic ... and what a treat for Mel Collins to still be there to do it ... far out ... but one thing in these three albums ... Bill Bruford is very good and far out.

My favorite version would have to be a live one from the Wetton years. For me that's the original version. First, because I heard those versions first, but also because that's the way it was played first, and in my mind the theme melody was made to be played with a violin (I still believe that's actually the way it was written, though I have nothing to prove me right). However, it's one version in particular, the one on Collectable King Crimson Vol 1, disc 1 (Mainz), that one gets it all right... and the ending, played with the electric guitar, is just the most powerful one for my taste. There's a video of the band playing the song "live" with this very line-up (though no audience is shown, so maybe it's sort of live in the studio), it's not the exact same version from Mainz, but it's the other closest version I have heard, and it's nice to see the band playing the song.

2112, Xanadu, By Tor and The Snow Dog, A Farewell To Kings, The Trees (you get the drift...)
