I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You???

@mylogic  I'm laughing at this 'squeak-slide' we're at the relative bottom of...

'Course, I'm a fan of Van Morrisons' "Uh..." in 'Jackie Wilson Says"...

...still prefer listening to the rest of it. ;)

Are you kidding me?  Can't hear a squeak in the kick drum pedal assembly???  Incredible!  

Yes, been hearing it for years.  I even have a drummer buddy who had the same pedal years ago and it had a similar squeak. It was considered a badge of honor!  My group were all big Zep heads back in the day.

I can easily hear Ringo's chair squeak as well as the various pianos' overtones in the piano fade-out of Day in the Life.

Final chord and completion

Following the final orchestral crescendo, the song ends with one of the most famous final chords in music history.^[57][67] Overdubbed in place of the vocal experiment from 10 February, this chord was added during a session at EMI's Studio Two on 22 February.^[68] Lennon, McCartney, Starr and Evans shared three different pianos, with Martin on a harmonium, and all played an E-major chord simultaneously. The chord was made to ring out for over forty seconds by increasing the recording sound level as the vibration faded out. Towards the end of the chord the recording level was so high that listeners can hear the sounds of the studio, including rustling papers and a squeaking chair.^[69] In author Jonathan Gould's commentary on "A Day in the Life", he describes the final chord as "a forty-second meditation on finality that leaves each member of the audience listening with a new kind of attention and awareness to the sound of nothing at all".^[70]
