Favorite Beatle moment ( recorded)

That's probably right, Paul speaking as an American (Mike Mercury), I was going on memory (and I still can't be arsed to dig out the outtake track), but on the vid BRODNATION posted, it is at least Ringo saying: "I will be pleased to see the Earthmen disintegrated" (Fireball XL-5 line). I think I like that line better!

 

Paul coming in on harmony for the last line of Nowhere Man.

 

John's dirty version of 'Do You Want To Know A Secret' during the recording sessions of Think For Yourself.

Closely followed by Paul McCartney on Juke Box Jury comparing a Billy Fury disc 'Do You Really Love Me To' to Benny Hill's 1963 UK Top 20 single 'Harvest of Love' and preceding to get the lyrics dirtily and horribly wrong "Well I feed the cows and I milk the sheep...." which causes the whole studio audience to erupt with laughter, wish the video survived but at least we have the audio.

I've never heard that Billy Fury tune the same way again!

 

So many...

George's short guitar solo in Don't Bother Me

The thunder like drumroll in Magicical Mystery Tour during
"Roll up ....."

The end of All You Need Is Love
",She loves you, yeah,yeah, yeah..


To name a very few

 

The opening riff on 'I Feel Fine'
Lennon played it at MSG with Elton John in the mid 70s.
Timeless

 

Both are on the Think For Yourself session...

...and no, sorry, Fireball XL-5 line is John!

 

Really? I didn’t know that

 

I don’t think Ringo is actually there - they were overdubbing harmonies on the completed rhythm track so he wouldn’t have been needed.

 

Better, better, better, better, better, oooooh...

 

At 2:40 in this clip, although whether it's John
who plays it (to check if he's plugged in?) is
open to debate:

 

The background and harmony vocals in Hey Jude. They take an absolutely incredible song and push it into arguably the greatest single ever recorded.

I was going to do a search and see if this had been posted yet, you know to avoid reading 8 pages of comments. I’m glad I didn’t do that. So many fantastic posts!

 

Wow! It must be John

 

Mine too. HM: Hohner Pianet breaks in "Tell Me What You See", Lowrey organ riff in LSD

 

The release in Getting Better when the band drops out and it's "I used to be cruel to my woman..."

 

Ringo's drum break during the fadeout on "I'm a Loser". Ringo keeps solid beat throughout the song, but then during Lennon's second mouth harmonica solo as the song nears its end, Ringo suddenly breaks the solid pattern for a moment. That sound is sooo satisfying, as it propels the band to even higher highs. As George launches into his hiccup solo, the song gently fades...

Such unparalleled mastery of restraint and imagination.

 

This is from the ' Fly on the Wall ' disc included with the ' Let It Be- Naked ' release.

It fades in on George saying a good song to play would be..and he starts playing the intro to ' Every Little Thing '. Paul has either forgotten the words or can' t recall them or is singing some from the original song he and John stole from when he starts singing : ' Don' t start me to talking..."

Damn , I wish that ' Fly on the Wall ' disc was much much longer.

 

Paul ad-libbing in Hey Jude during the "na na nas".
"Ju Ju Judy Judy Judy Doo WOW!! WAHBOW!!

This always made me chuckle as a kid.

 

At 2:16

"Woke up
Got out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head"
