Robert Johnson, "When You Got a Good Friend."

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.

Half the PA crapping out in the middle of Patti Smith's B-side version of "My Generation."

All of Monk's 1951 "Four in One."

Fuckin' Little Richard.

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

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

"That's gooood.

the middle bit of Belle & Sebastian's Fox In The Snow, or the strings at the end of ABC's Al Of My Heart

From Mingus At Antibes, during Eric Dolphy's unaccompanied "What Love" bass-clarinet solo, when Mingus states "You can go fuck y'self!" to some rude French heckler.

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.)

don't start a RYE-OTT! (plsmith), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 19:36 (eighteen years ago) link

The arrival of the end stretch in "All Is Full Of Love," when Bjork's lead vocal jumps up an octave to meet the backing vocals.

CREEPER LAGOON'S - TONIGHT WAS FUN.

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

THE BEST!

Circa 4:24 in "Slow to the Core" by Sean Na Na, the little melisma on "when the bad blood is running" in the uptempo coda.

Paul Eater (eater), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 22:23 (eighteen years ago) link

The entirety of the Sonic Boom/Dean Wareham/Britta Philips cover of "Old Toy Trains."

vartman (novaheat), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 02:35 (eighteen years ago) link

The bridge in Wilson Pickett's "In the Midnight Hour," when the horns come in all slinky like for a few measures. I can listen to that over and over again, and sometimes do.

(Everyone pauses for 11 beats) BERNADETTE

two months pass...
" . . . And you need a haircut, tramp!"
"HAIRCUT?! Woman, you goofy. I'm a lover . . . "

intro to "A Love Supreme" and intro to "Alabama", both by John Coltrane

mervin heinz, Wednesday, 22 March 2006 01:09 (eighteen years ago) link

The final (instrumental) climax of "Sandblasted" by Swervedriver - when the drums slow down, down and then BOOOM!! guitars exploding everywhere!

Sexy MFA (Hexy M.F.), Wednesday, 22 March 2006 01:36 (eighteen years ago) link

I've realized that the entirety of the Beatles' "Hey Jude" rests on Ringo's lone hi-hat hit in the break right before The Vocal Riff begins. He captures the energy perfectly in one swipe of the drumstick.

The Outro of "I ran Away" by Coldplay
The bass line at the end of "Your Cover's Blown" by Belle and Sebastian

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.

ithappens, Saturday, 2 January 2010 19:46 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

anagram, Saturday, 2 January 2010 20:28 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

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

Dr X O'Skeleton, Monday, 4 January 2010 18:25 (fourteen years ago) link

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

Dr X O'Skeleton, Monday, 4 January 2010 18:26 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

The Broken Brothers, Monday, 4 January 2010 20:23 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

Joe Pass Filter (MaresNest), Monday, 4 January 2010 20:49 (fourteen years ago) link

The Accapella bit in Sloop John B.
