Yo yo yo, what's up dawgs?Bowdown

The solo Shawn Lane plays on Let It Be towards the end is absolutely stunning. He also does some stirring stuff on his cover of "Once Upon a Time in the West" composed by Ennio Morricone and a few other tunes.

It is also worth mentioning Zappa(!) doing Watermelon in Easter Hay. For a guy with tunes like "The Jazz Discharge Party Hats" he really puts a lot of magic into that Watermelon, the one provoking the strongest reaction from me being the version he plays here...   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUQEVc3h91E

The classic Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings, and also some hot Johann Sebastian Bach come up.

None of this is really prog, so feel free to beat me up violently with sticks.

The Lamia, from Hackett's Revisited II. I'm not sure why but the song never had that effect on me in it's original form. It took me by surprise. I figured it was a fluke but then I listened to it again at work and I had to turn the darn thing off.

Some Kate Bush songs get to me. Wuthering Heights and parts of The 9th Wave.

Agreed. I don't think I've heard a more emotional guitar solo, actually. 
New album!

The first time prog made me cry was when I saw Jethro Tull in 1976.  I'd just turned 16 and it was my 3rd concert.  When Ian Anderson came out onstage and joined Martin Barre I got all teary...I couldn't believe I was actually seeing one of my musical heroes!  Funny, concert 1 (The Tubes) and concert 2 (Yes with Gentle Giant) didn't affect me like that.  

The only other time was in 2007...I was in the process of going through a divorce after 27 years of marriage and hadn't listened to any music for about 6 weeks.  I was in my car driving to a clients house (I ran a tax prep business) and I put on an IQ best-of tape I'd made.  The song "The Enemy Smacks" came on.  When the line, "so weary of waiting and hoping for this, the two of us alone, no one else to see, I promise not to miss you and no more jealousy" came on I lost it Cry

The first time I experienced the Dark Side of the Rainbow, during the tornado / Great Gig in the Sky sequence. Come to think of it the second time too.

A few times. OK, maybe more than a few:
 
Pink Floyd
- the "cloudless every day"...verse of Echoes and the final slow jam after that
- Time, Us and Them and Eclipse from DSOTM
- the very end funeral march part of SOYCD
- Nobody Home, Vera, Comfortably Numb
- virtually all of The Final Cut
-
Yes
- the buildup and climax in I've Seen All Good People
- the "Eclipse" part of And You And I, especially the little Leslie-speakered Hammond organ bit just before the main vocals - also The Preacher The Teacher, especially when Steve joins Jon on the main vocal refrain
- the final chanting vocals on Revealing Science of God "and you and you..."
- Leaves of Green's vocals "along without you..."
- the final 5 minutes or so of Ritual
- "I have seen the dream..that's in your heart..that's in your eyes" from Homeworld/The Ladder
 
Camel
- the start of Song w/in a Song: "the sun has left the sky...now you can close your eyes"
- the end of Air Born "and if the world keeps spinning 'round..."
- the intro to First Light
- all of Tell Me
 
-and no doubt many more.

Many times
 
The breathtaking finale to Starless by KC drew some tears from me;
 
Being a Rush fanboy, when they came back with Vapor Trails, knowing what Neil Peart went through, to hear the album's intro, in which Neil's incredible strength of character just exploded, I cried with joy and awe.
 
And other moments...

I'm not sure prog ever made me cry but I'm sure some music has.  Maybe more simplistic pop music, and I'm not
sure its in any way a sad, hopeless type of crying but some other kind of other state.  "God if I Saw Her Now" on Anthony Phillips' "Geese and the Ghost" is one of the most emotional songs for me in Prog.   "Castaways" by Hammill on "The Future Now" is another.   "As Close As This" is his album that I relate most to the emotions.
