Those Musical Moments you wait for every time...
Don't you just love those little undefinable moments that happen in a song, that you wait for every time you listen to it?
Like Pink Floyd, Shine on You Crazy Diamond at 11:20 where it sounds like Roger Waters plucks the bass string with a monkey wrench, or somethin. It's totally out of time with the music and so ham-fisted, but I love it.
How about Hendrix's The Wind Cries Mary, toward the end when his amp rattles the snare. I just noticed it the other day and now I'll listen for it every time.
Any others?

At the beginning of R.O.C.K. in the USA, Melloncamps drummer drops his drumsticks.
The lead intro to Reelin' In The Years has a signature "dead string stroke" or two that I always add when I play it.

I'll have to listen for those. It'll give me a reason not to switch channels when Melon Camp comes on. Steely Dan with Skunk Baxter and Denny Diaz always had some of the best guitar solos. I believe that one's Diaz.
How about Bowie's Always Crashing in the Same Car at 2:33 - One of my favorite drum rolls. Another example of something unremarkable but somehow remarkable in it's context.
Hmm. I thought this would be easier. I know em when I hear em but it's hard to remember em. And looking up the time is really anal. Like someone's gonna actually go look it up...

A lot of times for me it's the guitar solo or the bridge. Sometimes it's even the intro. I really like the intro to Mother and Child Reunion by Paul Simon. Or Carole King or Elton John's piano playing at the beginning of songs. I like the trumpet part in Uncle Albert by McCartney, certain drum riffs in Carpenters' songs.

How about the very first intro snare fill that introduces "Like A Rolling Stone".
Turn up the volume and check it out. It's one of a kind.

that first sax solo on "All Blues" by Miles Davis..
it's right at 4:00 and it's like a 2 minute solo. I think it's cannonball Aderley on that first solo and Coltrane on the second..
Anyway the opening line of that solo just elevates the piece so much, it's a simple blues number the 1 the 4 the 2nd and the minor 3rd but it just kills me every time.
And man I agree some of those Steely Dan guitar solos are so golden..or those gorgeous refrains that Fagan writes
I love the sitar sounding solo on "Do It Again"...
and I'm always singing along with "No Static At All"...FM!!!!

Hmm, "lucy in the sky with diamonds.." John's vocal on "lucy" in the 1st chorus is a howler. perhaps an antidote to the prettiness that george martin tends to create, and an issue between the two fellas at times, i look forward to this...
LOL...
the natalee merchant song "carnivale" got a strange outro on da outro. an fx am radio playing "carnivale" and a baseball announcer, phil rizzuto, calling a home run...

"All the Books I Never Read" ... and each time the "choir" comes in ... and the guitar at 2:29 ... and the synth vox at 3:23 ...
.... and Michael Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" ... from beginning to end ....
.... and Hank Williams first yodel type drawl in "Love Sick Blues"

The Pretenders - "Middle Of the Road"
When Chrissie goes "BRRRRRNEYOW!!!!!!!" just before the harmonica solo.
Art Blakey - "Moanin'"
The first (bent) note of Lee Morgan's trumpet solo gets me every time. One of those note that, when you hear it, you have to scrunch up your face (in a good way) because it hits so damn hard.
And, there's a particular drum fill in
Jimi Hendrix' "Wait Until Tomorrow"
... a sort of stuttering shuffle thing that Mitch plays underneath Jimi's vocal, that just may be the most-perfect drum part in the history of perfect drum parts.

Every note Hendrix plays in "machine gun", but there's several moments of feedback in that song that get me every time... also there's a part of uni vibe in one of the verses I love.

Sam - this is why everybody loves you! I know those spots in All the Books very well. And at 2:23, right before the guitar solo, Mark (the singer) moans ever so quietly. You gotta have it turned way up to hear it. When I get round to it I'm gonna have to bring that up in the mix a bit.
And Tubular Bells is just one long moment, ain't it?

Just picked up the "moan" ... ha ! ... don't know how I missed it before ...
Steg I just love this piece and I think it is some of your best work to date ...
.... of course the title blew me away when I first saw it ...
... in my pursuit of trying to win a beautiful young ladies heart ... once upon a time ... I wrote a very lengthy piece entitled "The Greatest Story Never Written" ... but alas it was a prophecy come true as she rejected both me and the piece ... sigh ... :)

Thanks Sam. It seems to have touched a nerve with the other two guys in the band too. Dr. Dust keeps telling me he wishes I'd never written it because it's just too close to home and the lyrics have really affected him. The Nail has the lyrics on his Facebook page. I've played it for "younger" people and they don't seem to get it though. I think you have to be of a certain age...

Speaking of snare rattles..."Come Together"...I attribute it to the bass and I love it - it has become one of those "live ensemble" kind of hallmarks that I used to view as "mistakes" but now value as "real"...
I just got a couple of JJ Cale discs and I'm not familiar enough yet to name the tune, but there's a moment when the guitar leads out of a single note solo and it does an unanticipated double-note thang which somehow blends magically with the chord shift the rest of the instruments do - it's there and gone in an instant but every time I hear it I go "Wow! Perfection!!" So I know whatchuz mean...
It's been too long, Stegor, hope you're well!
