whenever this question crops up i alway think back to this track , especially this recording . as its performed by their session Drummer James . A proper head nodding solo (there is an earlier, short solo ) Scroll to 3:45 ish for the slow burning solo [video=youtube;Cmv3onS0Lk4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cmv3onS0Lk4[/video]

A tribute to George Harrison where Prince steals the show. [video=youtube;6SFNW5F8K9Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SFNW5F8K9Y[/video]
The Who going manic in New York, Won't get fooled again. (Personally I like John Entwistle's bass playing, fantastic) [video=youtube;LjA_RtsBfAo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjA_RtsBfAo[/video]

Time for a bass solo, from the genius Trevor Bolder(solo starts about 1.20)... [video=youtube;6PdyeYSK8ow]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PdyeYSK8ow[/video]
Impressive stuff OLM but I don' know the song or the gig good to see a fairly local lad though. (What is wrong with the internet tonight, Firefox has been a bag of s**t so switched to IE and now this is playing up, don't tell me too many people online, sigh )
This was the first guitar solo that really, totally, blew my mind. I played it over and over and over, repeatedly, with my head positioned between my record player's two crappy little speakers a couple of inches away from my ears (headphones were an expensive luxury back then!) (Page's flashing fingers start working properly at 3.30) [video=youtube;p5i_H5CPRJ8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5i_H5CPRJ8[/video]
[video=youtube;5gslKjS155Q]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gslKjS155Q[/video] Seems like they're a few Manic's fans on here. I've never thought of James Dean Bradfield as a great guitarist, but some of his riffs are very imaginative.
Richard Thompson is my favourite guitarist of all time, and I could've included dozens of his solos, some of which stretch on for several minutes. My favourite is possibly this one, though; there's a brief hint at what's to come at 1.00, and the full solo starts at about 2.10. It's one of his shorter ones, but played with such characteristic fluidity, and it encapsulates everything I love about his style of playing (a style I can recognise the moment he starts playing, even if it's a piece I've not heard before).

Finally, I'd like to throw this one in, even though it's actually a duet. The original Harmony Twins of Wishbone Ash, Ted Turner and Andy Powell. The duelling guitars begin at 3.40. [video=youtube;LByiVlc6czA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LByiVlc6czA[/video]
