Greatest moments ever recorded

-"Hello, I'm Johnny Cash"

- Cigarette being lit in the intro to "Red Right Hand" (0.00-0.16)

..I'll think of more..

and not to be really completely totally bloody obvious or anything, but the entrance of the drums on "stairway to heaven" still gets me every time.

ot$, ALEX.

Also, the end of "Love Child" when Diana starts belting "I'l always love...you-u-u". And the first moments of "Stayin' Alive".

also:

Robert Fripp, Trey Gunn, Bill Rieflin (REPERCUSSIONS OF ANGELIC BEHAVIOR) Track 1 when Bill starts grooving in a shiftin, asymetric time signature and Fripp's solo starts. He plays up a slow scale and hits this unexpected high note sustain that surrounded by discordant digital harmonics.

Dengue Fever - "Sni Bong" (ESCAPE FROM DRAGON HOUSE). The start of the chorus gets me every time.

"PWREEEEEEEEEEEEOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMM"

Also, the strings in Barry White's "What Am I Gonna Do With You?" and the guitar bridge in the Hold Steady's "Cattle and the Creeping Things" (the one around 1:50 or so, leading up to "she said I've been seeing double for three straight days") have been giving me shivers.

Nick Drake's "Road" when he says "I" an eighth note before the downbeat.

Bauhaus's "Bela Lugosi's Dead" - "Ohhhhhh Beeeeeeeeeeeelaaaaaaaa, Beeeeeeeeelaaaaaaaaaaaa's Undeeeeeeeeead."

Every time a new instrument is introduced in SAWII Disc 1 Track 3.

The Chameleons' "Soul in Isolation" - the guitars in the "No more would you cry, cry, cryyyyyyyyy" part. And just about every other moment of Strange Times, really.

"Watching the Detectives": the drum intro before the bass comes in.

Wynonie Harris, "Down Boy Down": "Ain't it 'bout time for the house to buy?!"

Dee Dee Ramone yelling "Wait!" just before the band starts playing on the Ramones' "It's Alive."

Marvin Gaye: "Do you remember all of the *bullshit*, baby?"

Dylan and the Band in England, and the Caetano Veloso/Os Mutantes live version of "E Proibido Proibir" ("Ambiente de Festival"). When someone's laying tracks to get kicked out of his own country, as on the latter, now *that's* true rock and roll outlawry.

also the drumbeat & Ray Davis' vocal intro on "Tear The Roof Off The Sucker (Give Up The Funk)"

and Carla Thomas & Otis Redding's exchange midway through "Tramp"

"Otis, you country. Straight from the Georgia woods."

"That's gooood.

Love, "Andmoreagain" - the cello that accompanies Arthur Lee's "Mate-he-rial"

Velvet Underground, "I Heard Her Call My Name": "And then my mind split open-" SKRKREEEK!

The opening fade-in to "I Feel Love", just before the drum machine kicks in.

I could name HUNDREDS more (and so could you.)

Could we kiss a little longer, it wouldn't be any WRONGER.

THE BEST!

that first organ hit in "Love & Happiness"....

Well... This was recorded. Has there ever been a greater moment?

The bit in Tusk where the voices come in, way louder than everything else, "Just tell me that you want me". Makes me jump with surprise and shiver with pleasure.

The moment in the version of "The River" on Live 1975-1985 when the monologue turns into the song. The band plays this loooong note soaked in sadness and then Bruce scythes through it with a searing blast of harmonica.

Hello, I'm new.

The 3 second sliding bass intro to Wichita Lineman, as played by Carole Kaye.

The drum break in the Peel Session of The Container Drivers by The Fall.

which one :P

the bit in kate bush's Big Sky where she'll "pause for a jet", then the bass comes back in

and all of A Quick One While He's Away on the Rock n Roll circus, of course

The last 20 seconds or so of that footage of Jimmy Hendrix playing The Killing Floor (the live footage introduced by Brian Jones) where he actually slows down time by doing something wierd with a guitar.

Nina Nastasia - Run All You...

When the whole band comes in just as she sings the word 'Air', what a glorious sound and so beautifully captured, give me chills every single time.

The Accapella bit in Sloop John B.
