    Lennon's lead vocal on 'Anna (Go to Him)' comes to mind. Always loved that one.

    The vocal harmonies and John's lead vocal coming together for the last 'lose that girl' at the end of You're Going To Lose That Girl.

    For me, George's solo on Fixing a Hole is so perfect--he comes off Paul's hey-hey's with just the right note and then descends in chords so that Paul's first note of "And it" is right there next to his last chord.

    The "love you" background vocals in The End.

    The count at the very start of their first album "1, 2, 3, 4!". The "Yes" one and a half minutes into "The Night Before". The bit during "I'm Down" (Live At Shea Stadium) where Lennon plays the organ with his elbow. I love moments such as these, little touches that stay with me. The music was generally pretty great of course.

    The chiming guitar arpeggios, an actual chime(?) and fairly charged up backing harmonies immediately following the "Oh that magic feeling" section of You Never Give Me Your Money.

    Too many to choose from but a couple that stand out off the top of my head...

    - guitar solo/outro to While My Guitar Gently Weeps
    - the "one sweet dream" part at 2:28 of You Never Give Mw Your Money

    Too many to count, but here are a few favorites that immediately come to mind:

    - In The Ballad of John and Yoko, the part when John yells "Think!" immediately followed by (what sound like) maracas.

    - In Rocky Raccoon, right after Paul sings "He drew first and shot," you can hear Ringo does an extra kick of the bass drum / bit of percussion to mimic the sound of Rocky Raccoon falling on the ground (as if he were just shot).

    - In She Came in Through the Bathroom Window, in the second verse right after Paul sings "She worked at 15 clubs a day," there is for the first time in the song a clapping-type sound vaguely similar to the sound of a mousetrap closing. The result sort of sounds like: "She worked at 15 clubs a day [SNAP]."

    - In And Your Bird Can Sing, the harmonizing backup vocals during the first line of the last verse where John and Paul (together, harmonizing) sing "You tell me that you've heard every sound there is."

    - In Nowhere Man, the harmonic note(s) played by John and George in unison at the very end of the guitar solo.

    Although not one of my favorite songs, George Harrison’s brief guitar solo near the end of “Got To Get You Into My Life” always catches my attention.

    I also love how Paul and Ringo lock in for a quick fill to lead into the final bit of “Rain”.

    Of course there are many, many more…

    The bridge in Yes it Is where he goes 'If I could forget her, but it's my pride Yes it is, yes it is Oh, yes it is, yeah"

    The way he says 'yeah' there. That's it.

    Could not agree more!!

    Also, the first "chiming" guitar notes George plays earlier in the song.

    The coda of "Every Little Thing."

    John's distinctive 12-string riff is heard with little extra chunky strums before it, and John and Paul's harmonies, which in the choruses had been spread wide, are now close together and seem to symbolize the enduring closeness between the two loved ones who are the subjects of the song.

    When the guitar solo kicks in at 2:25 of “I Want You (She’s So Heavy).” Heavenly... :love:

    The press conference at JFK Airport on 7th february 1964. It was a key moment as many people in the USA hadn't seen them before.

    Their wit humour surely helped them to stand out among other bands.

    Too many favorites to single one moment out but if there's one song I could submit proving their vocal blend was magic, it'd be "Because".

    One of those moments where beauty is shown through music in the least subtle way possible.

    There's a glimpse on the All My Loving performance on Ed Sullivan after the solo where Paul and George are singing into the mic and John is standing in the background with a great smile playing that awesome guitar riff watching the two singing with Beatlemania exploding in front of them all. That's my favourite moment.

    They went on to equal ' Twist and Shout ' but they never bettered it. A true classic.

    One of my fab faves as well. ' Good Morning Good Morning ' is underappreciated. Great Lennon vocal.

    The ' ping ' sound exactly half way through ' Tomorrow Never Knows '
    Oddly and sadly missing from the mono.
