Passenger Sid Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 GOLDEN SLUMBERS (Beatles): Around 0:42 - 0:46, the way McCartney belts out “smiles” and “awakes”. NEW YEAR’S Day (U2): Around 4:10 - 4:15, Bono’s howl with the Edge’s alternating electric guitar chords. FLOWERS OF GUATEMALA (R.E.M.): Around 2:10, the high-pitched guitar squeal that kicks off Peter Buck’s guitar solo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chriscolbert Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Great topic! I know I have more, but the way Chris Cornell's vocal comes in seamlessly from the guitar during the intro to Loud Love has always blown my mind. It's around the 32 second mark... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fritz Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Western Skyline by Richmond Fontaine. Such a wonderful outro but the pedal steel really hits a crescendo at the six minute mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKLi_nuRL8s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 "Middle of the Road" by The Pretenders: Chrissie's "Brrrrr NEYOW!!!!" that leads into the harmonica solo at 3:18 into the song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 "Moanin'" by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers: those first couple of bent notes that kick off Lee Morgan's trumpet solo at 0:59 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 "For No One" by The Beatles: where the horn comes in from out of nowhere at 0:49, and again at 1:29. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 "Rocks Off" by The Rolling Stones: that single snare hit right during the intro of the song -- at 0:02! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Malford Milligan's background vox which seem to come out of nowhere at :52 and raise the song to an entirely different level. (That and the lead guitar coming in at :17). A rocker in the middle of a record of sad reflection. AE is my favorite in the pantheon of American originals of the third generation along with Bruce Springsteen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 The snare fills from 2:03 to 2:25.Nothing special about it...but everything's special about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 It might be passe, but I remember how shocking it was the first time I heard the distorted guitar explosion at :58. The song went for a THE AIR THAT I BREATHE ripoff to being something ENTIRELY different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 The first chorus at 1:13 where the song goes from being a small town lament to a full blown epic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twoshedsjackson Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Jimi Hendrix doing Driving South on Radio One - BBC Sessions. I've always considered it Jimi's best playing. There's a moment of pure magic at about the 33 second mark where he bends a note at the beginning of a lick, then feedback screams back to the first note and he comes right back in playing. It floors me every time. http://youtu.be/MUMLlQByiRM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Passenger Sid Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Like the Captain Jack moment as well. And the Beatles' For No One is a good one. I aways loved Tweedy's guitar solo on the studio At Least That's What You Said. So liquid sounding and spine-tingling. I've never heard it done better live. Also like Michael Stipe's sloppy guitar playing at the end of Why Not Smile. Or around the 2:45 - 2:55 moment of Benny And The Jets, where the piano jam ends and a very high-pitched Elton sings "oh Candy and Ronnie have you seen them yet…".

Fritz Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 The Unfaithful Servant - The Band. Probably my favourite Band song. 2:08 - "Goodbye to that country home, so long to the lady I have known.Farewell to my other side, I guess I'll just take it in stride." 3:39 - Robbie takes an audible breath during his guitar solo. 3:49 - The horns come in to take us home.

mountain bed Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 The Dead - Playin' In The Band from 12/2/73. When the song drifts into Space, what Phil Lesh does on the bass must be heard to be believed. It's one of the most brain-frying moments ever from a band who had a career full of them.

tinnitus photography Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 there are at least four in Mogwai's "Xmas Steps".... when the drums kick in at 4:18 when the overdriven guitar kicks in at 4:52 the emotional high point of the song shortly after and the slowing ebb of dying embers that starts at it's really just a powerfully perfect song. and i'm pissed that they haven't played it the nine times I've seen them since 2003.

Moss Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Some great Beatles moments compiled in this thread: http://viachicago.org/topic/49650-favorite-beatle-moments/?hl=beatles&do=findComment&comment=1544892 This song is full of these moments for me but at about 2:20 when the guitar solo is peaking there is that scream and maniacal laughter before the next verse comes in: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 The crescendo in Born to Run at about 3:10 in this live version http://youtu.be/IxuThNgl3YA The sound of fingers running along the fretboard on Bob Mould's Lonely Afternoon at about 3:05 edit: Not sure why the first link shows up and the 2nd video is embedded.
