Yep.
Yes: In "Awaken" - the build up from the first "Master of..." verse to the final tonic.
Yes: In "CTTE" - the last section of the song.
Tarentel: In "For Carl Sagan" - the 6:43 mark. The song builds slowly without a statment of the main melody until that point. And then it's a long build to the crescendo at 15:45 (the whole song is a clinic in restraint). Phenomenal.
Mike Oldfield: In "Tubular Bells III, Part Two" - the climax
King Crimson: In "Lizard" - when the first big trombone riff comes in followed by a flute run.
Yes: In "Endless Dream" - the "So take your time, look round and see the most in time is where you're meant to be.
For they talk too loud and take the hope and fears from your heart.
We call this surrender slowly towards the north, and this endless dream giving ourselves everything.
We're deserving.
Gonna bring it back again.
It's the first first time telling myself everything.
It's the last last time.
Bring me back, bring me back again*
etc.
- from 10:54 to 13:40 - I wait for this part expectantly as the lay down every theme used in it earlier in the song.
* I read a musician's comments on Jon Anderson's vocal range in a NFTE article and I think this is the highest note he hits on record. I'll try to find that article and link it.
