Favorite Beatle moment ( recorded)

I was watching a You Tube clip of Donovan relating how he taught John and Paul how to do that fingerpicking while in India. They were apparently both quick studies.

 

That sound of Ringo’s crash during Good Morning Good Morning always puts me in a good mood.

 

John yelling out : ' Nyet!" In ' Back in the USSR '. It's buried but it's there.

 

As already mentioned the first chord of A Hard Days Night.
The yeah yeah yeahs in She Loves You.

 

I agree with the above. Also along the same lines John and Paul on I Don’t Want to Spoil the Party “ well tonight she made me sad, I still love her”.

 

She Loves You's "apologise to herrrrurrrr"

Ringo's drum fill at the of the second verse of Rain

That moment when Polythene Pam turns into Bathroom Window

 

Interesting don't think I've ever heard Donovan talk about that, such a humble guy

 

Boys
everything about this song is great

 

I hope it's ok to post a couple:

The Hard Day's Night Chord
Ringo's drum part on I Feel Fine.
The Leslied guitar part which George plays on the 'oh, that magic feeling' part of You Never Give Me Your Money. It gives me shivers every time I hear it.
Paul's harmony vocal on Something. More shivers.
"What are you doin'? You're out of yer mind. Do the boom boom boom, soft lad" John was in a major grump during the One After 909 session!

 

"1,2,3,4"

 

It's strange though because Paul has always said that he never really got into standard finger picking, citing Blackbird as an example of his own version of it. John really did wonderful stuff with it and this from a man who said he wasn't very good technically. Speaking of which I love the isolated rhythm guitar from I Want To Hold Your Hand. It rocks and in a way you wouldn't expect.

 

" Oh , look at that , Mal !"

 

The seventh chords John plays on rhythm on I Call Your Name and You Can’t Do That. Also the seventh chords he plays on the keyboard on The Night Before.. There is a term used in Bluegrass called drive. That is what John’s rhythm did for the Beatles.

 

The backing vocals on "GIRL".....Hands down!!!

 

I see what y'all did there...

 

Starts at 1:20 ...

 

I can't tell for sure if you're being serious or sarcastic with that remark. I suspect the latter.

But if you're being serious, you obviously haven't read Don's autobiography! And I say this as someone who genuinely loves his music. But the impression you walk away with after reading it is that he feels he pretty much invented the 1960s single-handedly.

Donovan always has the most mellow vibe.
I like the bits where he looks right into the camera.

 

Ha !
Oh! He's the epitome of the sixties. Dippy, trippy , hippy.

 

Yeah sarcastic. I'm a big fan as well but pretty soon I expect to read that Donovan wrote Yellow Submarine

 

He does do a brilliant Dylan impersonation though

 

(R): Meanwhile, high in the Swiss Alps, two elderly Scotchmen munch on a rare cheese

(G): Wonderful stuff this, Agnes

(J): Aye, it's wonderful stuff

(All): (Singing)
Hodellaihetee! Yodellaihetee!

 

the inner light : when comes "Arrive without travelling
See all without looking
Do all without doing" till the end, perfection

 

The "take a good look around you" part where the guitar comes in on "Martha My Dear" and Paul's amazing solo on "Taxman".

 

Paul’s ”Aaaah’s” in A Day In The Life.
