Your favorite "Live" guitar solos?

Eric Clapton - Have you ever loved a Women. (From Derek & the Dominoes - In concert) .

 

Can't believe no one's mentioned this one yet

Duane Allman "Satesboro Blues" Fillmore

Also agree about Mick Taylor on the Ya Ya's album.

 

Yes, one of those tracks from Fillmore, featuring Duane Allman. Awsome.
Also, another vote for Albert King naturally. One of those tracks from the Albums Blues at Sunrise\Sunset. These two really show King in top form. Much more powerful playing than on the earlier Live CD's that were released.

 

Jimi Hendrix- "Drivin' South"--BBC Sessions. He did it more than once at the Beeb and I am referring to the faster, smokin' version. Jimi was on fire that day.

 

My Favorite live Guitar solos:

#1 by far...Duane Allman/Allman Bros/Fillmore East "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed"

Close second..... same/same/same "Stormy Monday"

 

my choice without question, jimbo!

 

George Harrison (Beatles) - One After 909 ("rooftop" 1969)
Frank Zappa (with John Lennon) - Well (Fillmore East 1971)
Robin Trower (Procul Harum) - Conquistador (Edmonton 1972)

 

Randy Rhoads in "Mr. Crowley" from the Ozzy Osbourne/Randy Rhoads Tribute live album.

 

Eric Clapton with the Plastic Ono Band on "Cold Turkey" from LIVE PEACE IN TORONTO 1969.

Jim W.

 

How about FREEBIRD by Lynyrd Skynyrd?

 

Eric Clapton w/Cream "Crossroads"
Duane Allman/Dickey Betts "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed"
Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock "Voodoo Child"
Jeff Beck 2001 tour "'Cause We've Ended As Lovers"
Bill Nelson/Live In The Air Age "Adventures In A Yorkshire Landscape"
Robin Trower/Live "Too Rolling Stoned"

 

Midnight Rambler, but not the version on Ya-Ya's. I DL'd a version from 1972, about 12 minutes long, with the slow bluesy part in the middle stretched out to 4 or 5 minutes and Taylor's playing is amazing and the call and response between Jagger and the crowd is electrifying. The Stones really ought to commercially release some of the live stuff from their classic years.

Frampton's DYFLWD. Only song of his I can stand, great guitar.
I like the Trower mentioned just above, but for some reason I prefer the version on Bridge of Sighs.
Prove It All Night-oh yeah, we were totally unprepared for that, and totally blown away. My friend Dan was converted at the moment of the first lick.
Ten Years After-Woodchopper's Ball from UNDEAD. I'm Going Home is great, too, but I've heard it so many times...
Speaking of Woodstock, a vote for Soul Sacrifice.

And speaking of Santana, Samba Pa Ti, from LOTUS. Now that I think of it, Samba Pa Ti wins by a landslide. If you've never heard this version, you must. The guitar work is beyond mindblowing.

 

I'm Going Home-Ten Years After at Woodstock

 

I have to slow that down to fully appreciate it.

 

My choice too!!!!

That vibrato shivers me timbers.

 

John, do you know the source of the 1972 MR? Location?

I agree, the Stones have some staggering unreleased shows, especially from the early 70's. The 1973 Perth, Brussels, and Wembley sets are absolute stunners. Keef and Mick Taylor absolutely blister. They play as if their very lives depend on it. The solos are fast and furious and too many to pick just one. I've never heard Keith Richards solo as good as he consistently does in these sets.

 

I agree with many of the choices here.Crossroads,Get Your Ya-Yas Out,The Allman Brothers at The Fillmore and Blues Before Sunrise are all great.The best I have seen lately is Richard Thompson in the spring doing a tour with a band.His solo on electric guitar on Can't Win was as blistering as anything I've ever seen and I've seen all of the above artists around the time the records came out.

 

Roy's Bluz - Roy Buchanan (from Live Stock)

 

My friends call me Jeff, you can call me John.

New York City was the location. No other info besides year and city, unfortunately.

I have the Perth show. It is great. Also worthy are Essen, Germany 1970 and the famous Hyde Park concert, both of which I have, and a murky Nicaraguan benefit from 1973. The story I hear is that they recorded a live album for Decca in 1972. I have a boot of this and why it never saw the light of day is beyond me.

 

U F O - Lights Out (Strangers In The Night)... awesome solo by Michael Schenker.

 

On fire is an understatement.....I was hypnotized the first time I heard that.....possibly his best single performance.

 

Frank Zappa - Muffin Man (from Bongo Fury)

 

Maserati GT - On Your Feet Or On Your Knees (BÖC) played by the amazing Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser

 

Johff
I've heard about the Decca 1972. The performances, as you've indicated, are rumored to be top-notch. How is the sound of the one you have?
