"Miasma" by Ghost is one of the best prog instrumental that I've listen to (but it's not the 70's)

Here are some energetic instrumental prog songs from the 1970s that I like very much
"La Villa Strangiato" by Rush
"Tarkus" by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
"Peaches en Regalia" by Frank Zappa
"Supper's Ready" by Genesis (has vocal sections but also extensive instrumental portions)
"Birdland" by Weather Report (jazz fusion with prog influences)
"Larks' Tongues in Aspic Part II" by King Crimson
