Not a fan but the guitars are superb in this.

Firth of Fifth - Genesis
Everyday - solo

Have a listen to both. You won't be disappointed

Much as I love Blackmore, Lifeson, Moore etc I don't think Freebird can be beaten.

Yes, I think so, but I didn't want to sully Moore and Greeny by mentioning that!

Is that from Knebworth with the Stones? If so, I’d say it’s the second greatest Freebird footage out there.
The only below, has the playing but it also has the crowd engaged that those sleepy fckers at Knebworth came nowhere near!

 

[Shaelumstash]

Prince....maybe

Definitely one of the best ever.

Here's an example from one of the better (imo) Japanese guitarists that are often overlooked in these kinds of threads because they are criminally unknown on this side of the planet. Here performing a solo for your delectation is Syu from a band called Galneryus.

Yes, mate, the footage I posted is Knebworth, mid 70s. Gotta say that having watched the Oakland performance many many times, the scantily-clad young ladies in the front row of the crowd are very easy on the eye!
