Quick: What are the first rock ‘n roll intros and outros that come to mind for you! It doesn’t matter if they are from live or studio recordings.
The first intro that just came to mind for me (not my favorite) is the alternating 2-singer count-in to The Rascals’ “Good Lovin'”. That is what’s going on at the start of that song, right?
The first outro that just came to mind for me (possibly my favorite) is Ian Hunter’s “I’ve wanted to do this for years!” during the fade of “All the Young Dudes.” WHAT is it he’s wanted to do for years? That always sticks with me.
KISS Alive I & II are loaded with classic intros, that even I would recognize if I had to hear them again.
Sometimes the outro can come via a show’s MC: “Elvis has left the building!”
