    Hi all, forgive me for another Beatles thread but I was thinking about what particular part of a song defines the Beatles best to you. You know, when you hear it, that it just sounds like Beatles (and no one else) to you.

    My particular moment is the ooohs Paul and George do behind John singing I'm Only Sleeping. You know the "please don't spoil my day I'm miles away" part. Add Ringo's great snare sound and you have the quintessential Beatle sound.

    So many, but I'll go with "If I gave my heart, to you, I must be sure . . . "

    So many, but I'll go with the harmonies that start at "She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh....."

    Without a doubt Monday February 11 1963 10pm. Take one of Twist and Shout.

    Right up there with Take 4 of Like a Rolling Stone as the most magical musical performances captured on tape for us to relive any time we want to cue it up.

    One After 909

    Love hearing it on the LIB album as well as watching it in the movie of the same name.
    Both evoke the fun and playfulness that was first discovered on the Ed Sullivan Show, along with great harmonies from P&J and a happy-go-lucky guitar solo.
    It’s so easy to picture them both huddled over one microphone.
    2:59 of Beatlemania revisited.

    I sure wish the band had played on in the seventies so we could have had a few more of those moments....

    For me it's the lead guitar-break on Good Morning Good Morning, ferocious and all cluttered up with those honking saxophones!

    Also “sugar plum fairy, sugar plum fairy”.

    Maybe not representative of the Beatles but pure John distilled to a brief recorded moment of time.

    Somehow I like John's screams on early Beatles recordings.
    He screamed more back then than during his primal therapy period in 1970.^^

    Sorry one more - George’s solo on ‘I Should Have Known Better’

    There is probably not a more confident solo in a pop song. “I’m just going to hammer out the vocal melody at a leisurely pace”. So very representative of their moment and the bands newfound grasp on the world.

    The gap between I Want You and Here Comes the Sun that was added to Abbey Rd in the late 80s.

    GREAT thread idea there is nothing to forgive there are so many wonderful wonderful Beatles moments I guess for me it's their press conferences when they were so young and cute kind of like a K-pop or J-pop band or Taylor Swift Justin Bieber has nothing on them so cute

    For me personally, it's hearing (and seeing) them perform 'Don't Let Me Down' on the rooftop.

    Paul's count-in in 'I Saw Her Standing There' is a great moment. The start of Beatlemania!
