Live on Blueberry Hill. The stuff that made a legend come to life. Really good quality on the bass. Short solo at about 2:57, and more at 4:15. "For What It's Worth" starts at about 6:20.

Pretty much everything this guy soloed was improvised, but as for the rest of the outfit...

My favorite version of Dreams Of Milk and Honey. Lots of soloing for Leslie, Felix and Corky.

Just when you hoped this thread was dead....
Nation Demands More Mind-Blowing Guitar Solos (http://www.theonion.com/articles/nation-demands-more-mindblowing-guitar-solos,35545/) :mrgreen:

Nice article ;D Passion and Warfare is still Steve Vai's best solo effort.
-
I like it when Vai does/did Techno Metal, he's good at that.

As regards improvisational highlights (eat your heart out, Dave! :mrgreen: ), a guitar solo should be like a journey whose destination is unclear but which will lead you to wonderous sights along the way:

Watch what Blackmore does at 5:27 onwards and you'll realize why I can't take Rick Nielsen solos serious. And you'll also see that there is more than a little Hendrix in him. His sense of drama in building up a solo is similar, watch from 8:50 onwards. Or maybe he was just inspired by the fact that the chords of Catch the Rainbow are dead ringers to those of Little Wing. :mrgreen: BTW: I'm in the audience of that particular gig, Munich 1977 ... :mrgreen: ... and what a memorable gig it was.

I see you in the video Uwe, you're the one smoking that big fun log!

I'm actually pretty close to the stage, Ritchie side of course, can't be more than 20 feet away, but try as I might, even after all these years, I fail to recognize my own backhead, darn! We were in Munich on a school trip and slipped away for this. Most intense Rainbow performance I ever saw and I saw a few. At that point in time I had only been playing bass for a few months and I remember marvelling at how crisp and precise Bob Daisley sounded. I had only seen him a couple of months earlier opening with Widowmaker (the short-lived outfit that featured Ariel Bender, Steve Ellis and other half-luminaries) for Ted Nugent.

Me = Got to see Elf, pre Blackmore making it Rainbow.
Saw DP with Blackmore, while he was thinking of leaving..........
For me DP without Glover held no charm. The big hat and Rickenbacker were the epitome of mid'70s cool!

I saw them from the sound board on the Perfect Strangers tour and loved them.
I saw Mountain on their first tour and also WB&L long before the first album. That was a night of pretty much extended jams.

Did WB&L even endorse "songs" as an abstract concept? :mrgreen:

LOL! Well, they did a really long version of "Play With Fire" live. If you go to our Dropbox folders, you'll find a recording from the show I was at.

We all have our days! ;)
Hughes was with DP, it's not that he was bad - I just wanted Mr. Glover.
That's a great pic!

It really comes down to the specific circumstances, Jake. But let's not clamp down on that issue too much.
