Geez impossible to say. Of the cuff, Richard Thompson, live version of "Shoot Out the Lights", at the Bottom Line, ca. 1981. Ask me in 5 min's, & I'll probably have a different answer
If you can find it, someone had Tracks from Layla so you could hear individual tracks. The Duane Allman “Little Wing” track is outrageous. I had the site on my computer but the machine died! Lost website!
A little obscure, but there is an insane solo in Roy Buchanan's cover of Hey Joe.
Two incredible solos for the price of one, with bonus harmony guitars at the end.
Incredible and classic album. Every rock fan should have it, or at least hear it, and so few have.
One of my fav’s. Whole thing is worth the watch because of the talent level of every band member but keeping to the thread, the solo is at the 3 min mark. Highway Star
@ODShowtime you may enjoy this one. I don't post just any old guitar solo to this thread. It really has to grab me.
I'm actually spinning Live in Melboure 2021 as I see this post. Great minds...
Thanks for the callback!
My problem with those Gizz Boyz is one of curation. They just dropped the FLACs for Bonnaroo and Red Rocks '22. I've listened to Bonnaroo a few times and really dug it but didn't even notice this solo. It's incredible. I didn't know that dude could play like that! I focused on the solo and build-up on Magenta Mountain so far, which is also incredible.
But back to curation; the Red Rocks shows are 3 different 3-hour long shows. 9 hours! How can anyone figure out what do to with all that? It's going to be a very long time until we figure out the true cream that floats to the top of that pile. I almost bought the 24 LP box set until I came to my senses and just dropped the free FLACs on my media server and said enough.
Four minutes of crisp clean guitar playing. No distortion no feedback no cacophony.
This is Gilmour’s guitar version of a “Phil Mickelson FIGJAM like moment”

How do you like the microtonal stuff? I find it to be some of the more interesting music I've heard in a long time. The Melbourne show really captures it. I've watched those youtube videos a bunch - Sydney as well.
I haven't looked carefully at the setlists for their Red Rocks shows, but wouldn't surprise me if they didn't repeat a single song. I can't believe the number of songs they write.
Yes, I understood the insinuation. It's silly not to listen to a band because they have a rivalry. It's fine to like the Stones and the Beatles - Wilco and Son Volt....
I really don't think there is any rivalry anyway. From what I read, someone made a joke about one ripping off the other and people read into it.
Even if there actually is a rivalry, doesn't seem like much of one.....
I'm not proud of myself. But I did just buy two more live albums from them this weekend so I'm trying to keep up.
I'd love to buy tickets to see them perform live, but heaven forbid anyone cool comes to Tampa any more.
I agree with all of this except I haven't listened to the Sydney show yet.
The microtonal stuff really speaks to me. I wanted to be a professional musician, and I knew my way was going to have to be the hard way; I would have to come up with something new that people liked. I can come up with something new all day, it just sounds like crap. Every now and then I'd write something people kinda liked, but it always sounded like something else, so no point.
These guys had a great idea and then used that as a springboard to all kinds of inspiration, so hats off to them. Much of it sounds so unique and fresh, it's like a new language. Now that they have those tools in their kit, they can bust them out whenever they want. I'd call the microtonal experiments to be a smashing success.
Sometimes their microtonal music can sound somewhat out-of-tune to me. I'm not sure if it's just the shock of rules being broken, poor intonation on these unique instruments, or maybe they are just hard to keep those guitars in tune? I don't know but it doesn't ruin it for me.
These guys blow me away in more ways than one. The sheer volume of their output since 2019 is staggering; it can really scare you. Just so it doesn't get lost, I highly recommend their newest normal album, Omnium Gatherum. It seems to really pull together many of the disparate threads that make up their tapestry of sound. It's probably the album of the year for 2022. I'd recommend it to everyone, really. It's a very fresh sounding rock album that comes and goes in all kinds of different directions.
Not too many guitar solos on it that I can remember.
Nice! Good to hear someone else that enjoys it. Agree with everything. I think because we grew up listening to the 12-tet music system, the "in between notes" in the 24-tet system can sound wrong at times. Although, it's funny that some don't sound as off as others. I bet it would all sound perfectly in key to someone from, say, India who grew up hearing that system. Fusing it with rock music was genius.
