Hendrix's solo on the Warner live double album version of "Hear My Train a Comin'" is, without question, the most incredible solo in the history of rocknroll.

David Gilmour has hit many out of the park, as well.

In Jazz, Joe Pass and Django Reinhardt laid down some unbelievable solos every time they sat down to play.

And in the Blues, Elmore James' solo on "Twelve Year Old Boy" is the gold standard.

I'd add Al Di Meola to the list also.

I was partial to Henrix's live version of "Little Wing".

I would agree with that one. Maybe Here He Comes at #2, Pall Gap at #3 (from South Saturn Delta). In fact Hendrix should be all the top ten solos.

It is sad that Leo Kottke, Sonny Landreth, Roy Rogers, Joe Satriani, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Johnny Winter, Steve Vai, and Gurf Morlix didn't even get a mention...

The jams on "Time", "Dogs" and "One of These Days" are vintage Gilmour. Check out some of his solo stuff as well. And now one of my own-Jerry Garcia's, "Estimated Prophet" jam from 12-26-79 in Oakland, CA. The Dead were all about live recording, and the abovementioned is one of the best..
