If you are just looking for moments two come to mind:
1. "The river is deep" section of "Rio Grande".
2. The translation in " Blue Hawaii" from "in the pink" to "I lose a dream". It's like!egoing from Hell to Heaven.

If a had to pick a moment...it was when he hit the road in '99. Milwaukee was the second night of that 1st solo tour and I was there. NEVER thought I would see that.

I agree with the sentiment that there are too many great moments to be able to pick just one.
Favorite album: Orange Crate Art
Best song: Midnight's Another Day
Best tour: BWPS
Best non-album track: What Love Can Do
Where can I find "What Love Can Do"? |

"Moment" as written in the heading is open to interpretation - could be part of a song, a whole song, or some other event. Glad people see it that way, great choices so far! Makes me want to go back an reassess some stuff.

I love Melt Away and think the 1988 album is his best (or new material) overall, despite the production.
TLOS would be a strong second.

I think his strongest solo songs were all on the 1st album - L&M, Melt Away, Baby Let Your Hair Grow Long, Little Children, and Rio Grande. They're every bit as strong as his songs on an album like Sunflower.

I agree. Even Rolling Stone magazine called it the best BB's album since Sunflower. TLOS would be second on my list, although OCA is very special to me, but that's sort of a separate category - Brian singing Van Dyke's words and music. |

Midnight's Another Day
... but when its comes to "music which is art that transcends all other crap" it has to be the second movement of SMiLE.

I was at that show too...something I never, ever thought I would see. Brian has come a long way performance-wise since then. |
