 Topic: Favourite Prog "Moments"
Posted: September 30 2004 at 09:54 |
What are yout fave Prog (Or otherwise) moments? Y'know, the ones that make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and remind you why you love the genre (or the band in question) so much. I'm sure you've all got hundreds of these so expect this one to run and run.
A few of my faves exaples that come to mind are the "I get up I get down" part on cloes to the edge, the guitar solo in Easter (especially the second part where the key changes), Dukes End where he starts to sing "I am the one who has guided you this far..." Also with non prog tunes like where Lemmy sings "don't forget the joker" and the guitar solo follows.
Ok these are probably popular choices but I'm more interested in more obscure ones, of which i have many and will probably post at a later date. Remember they must be "moments", don't cop out by putting "all of the song", we know you like all of the song, I'm looking for pinnacles. Be specific as well, give the time the cd reads or be descriptive as to exacly where the point begins as I have.

Fave prog moment for me
'In the cage' live where the band are obscured by the curtain of white lights (see cover of Seconds Out) and then the light suddenly focus in on 'Rael' on the line 'Outside the cage, I see my brother, John' shivers run down my spine every time -Bbbbbrrrrrrrr!

My fave prog moment was placing A Farewell To kings on the turntable and being absolutely enthralled and excited.The start of Xanadu still raises a nostalgic goosepump.The whole package was fantastic-the gatefold sleeve, the lyrics inside and the music, well it was beyond my wildest dreams!
I remember getting up early the following day to get to the Sixth Form Common Room first to get bragging rights.I converted dozens to the Rush Fold just 30 seconds into Xanadu, and I remember fondly the "oohs" and "aahs"!
Still the best prog album ever made.

My favourite Rock moment, for some reason I cant fully explain, is the start of Michael Schenker's extended solo on Rock Bottom from Strangers In the Night. I always get goosebumps as he breaks into the solo!
A great guitarist, pity he's such a Jodrell Banker!

The final(?) guitar solo in Dream Theater's "Take the Time" where it slows down and then suddenly bursts into itself. or something.

"Forgotten Sons" by Marillion - especially that bit just after the "prayer" section. I get goosebumps just thinking about it. In fact, the whole "Script..." album just "does it".
"Mirage" also "does it" (entire album).
Top 5 individual bits after the ones mentioned;
"Dust Of Time" (Hawkwind)
"Castle in the Clouds" (Steve Hillage - on "Angel's Egg")
"Time is Running Out", "Hysteria" and "Butterflies and Hurricanes" (Muse on "Absolution")
Most of "OK Computer" (Radiohead)
"Firth of Fifth", "Can-Utility and the Coastliners", "Dance on a Volcano", "Return of the Giant Hogweed", "The Knife", the keyboard solo in "Robbery Assault and Battery" and "Behind the Lines" (Genesis)
...and there are so many more 
/edit;
D'Oh! - I copped out and put whole songs and albums... but I think we've had a thread like this recently and anyway, without access to my albums, just the memory of the songs raises my neck-hairs...

I love the breaks in the middle of very fast tempo tracks.There are 2 I can recall easily:
Muse - Thoughts Of A Dying Atheist
Par Lindh Project - Juxtapoint
As far as ELP is concerned it would be Emerson's organ solo in Karn Evil 9 3rd Impression from Cal Jam1974 on the 'Then And Now' CD.Talk about 'letting rip'!

The guitar solo which ends the "Stationery Traveller" album by Camel
"Lives of great men/the golden void" by Hawkwind
The end of "entangled" by Genesis
The closing guitar solo on "The visitor" by Arena
Ken Hensley's slide guitar on "The spell" by Uriah Heep
The slightly speeded up guitar sections of "The shadow" by Pendragon (but a great track as a whole)
The symphonic bits of "And you and I" by Yes (especially the Yessymphonic version)
Steve Hackett's solo on "Firth of Fifth" by Genesis
The orchestral break on the Red Rocks version of "Isn't life strange" by the Moody Blues
etc...

Oh yeah that bit in "Forgotten Sons" where the voice says welcome....... friend
And the bit in "Script for a Jester's Tear" when that really cool guitar part comes in.

It has been said here but I really love the end of the song A Script for a Jester's tear, awesome.
Also Camel's Ice, the second part of Ommadawn by Mike Oldfield, and of course the guitar solo by Gilmour on Comfortably Numb and Time.
Another interesting moment is the second half of the song "Escenes" by a Catalan band called Gotic, please check them out.

There are so many
The end of 'Entangled' by Genesis from 'Trick of the tail'
Guitar solo near the end of 'Lunar sea' by Camel from 'Moonmadness'
The opening of 'The lamb lies down on Broadway' with that piano symbolising NYC awakening (Most of that album does it for me to be honest)
The middle section of 'Freewill' by Rush when the whole band explode with musical excellence. This is one of the finest displays of musicianship in rock music IMO, and is very exciting.
'La Villa strangiato' by Rush - The whole damn thing
'Welcome back to the circus!' the finale of 'Cinderella Search' by Marillion and the aforementioned part of 'Incubus'
The opening of 'Assault and battery' by Hawkwind from 'Warrior on the edge of time'
Thats for starters..

yeah, i'd say that there are tons, um many times in older genesis stuff, like A flower?" in suppers ready, The intro into the lamb lies down when it hits "and the lamb, lies down..." and then in Siberian khatru, the guitar riff that runs throughout, whenever i concentrate on it i get major goosebumps, i also just bought a led zeppelin box set, and putting that on for the first time was memorable. Also, going to see Yes live in concert was super cool, they have to be one of the best live bands out there, they are still great even after all this time... guess that means that prog will live on!
