Icy River by Fantasy, in my opinion, meets the criteria.

My wife frequently says that ELP is too much drama for her, so they squarely fall into this thread...

The first minutes are dark...then the live (low video quality) starts
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

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?

King Crimson – In the Wake of Poseidon

King Crimson – Starless




Hi,

I like this version a lot, the original when I first got the album a few months after it was out ... 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.

Hi,

I think the next track in the album is possibly better ... The Rape ... is really strong.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
