Blind Willie Johnson: Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground
Ry Cooder: Dark Side Of The Street
Keith and Mick T: Sympathy For The Devil (on Ya-Ya's)

Love In Vain with Mick Taylor sometime early 70s.

Led Zep Heartbreaker

Got A Good Mind To Give Up Living Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Warehouse, New Orleans Louisana, 31 January 1970....The best ever.

JR

Any Dickie Betts solo.

Overdose - ACDC
Powderfinger - Neil Young
Deuce (live) - Kiss
Achilles last stand - Led Zep (Knebworth)

Oh go on .. Freebird....(still sounds awesome)

Too many to list at once, but here are a few:

"Maybe I'm amazed" - McCartney
"Alex Chilton" - the Replacements
"Sympathy for the devil" - Stones
"Monkey Gone To Heaven" - Pixies
"Let It Be" (album version) - Beatles

My favorite Stones guitar solo?

"Heartbreaker"

My favorite guitar solo of all time?

"I Wanna Be Sedated"! "Bam,Bam,...Bam,Bam......."

>Robert Fripps solo on Brian Eno's
"St Elmos Fire"...I can't find the words for that one

Oooh, good choice. Fripp's work on "Evening Star" is *way* up there as well. I also gotta agree w/"Cortez The Killer", "Marquee Moon" and the obvious Stones ones already listed (which makes me wonder why this thread is designated "OT").

In a non-trad. rock format I'll add Pat Metheny's work on Joni Mitchell's "Amelia" from her live album SHADOWS AND LIGHT.

Led Zep has been listed but I don't think anyone mentioned my favorite: "Ten Years Gone".

The solo on VU's "I Heard Her Call My Name" is brain-shredding.

I'll think of a dozen more as soon as I send this.
