John Frusciante with RHCP on Jools Holland playing Dani California with Thom Yorke watching admiringly is always a pleasant watch for me

Basher

It comes in very early at 1:10. Short, yet perfectly formed.

Listen to the harmonising under Annette Peacock  bliss

Sporky

Chuck's playing here, sublime...

Fuck! Now that’s how a Tele should sound! Fantastic playing and songs, I’m off to seek out more!

Are people just not mentioning comfortably numb as they think it's a Cliché?

Or Shine on for that matter.

In the context of a great song, the outro around 3:05, there are longer versions but you get the gist.

This always stirs up emotions for me, I've posted it a few times but it never gets old.

Probably because they have been done to death and the thread is a great vehicle for those solos that might be more unfamiliar ?

This always brings a year to my eye

This is a classic with some wonderful playing by Tony Peluso - beautifully crafted solos played with great feel and passion.  and of course the utterly amazing and much missed Karen.  I don't think I've ever heard fuzz used so beautifully to this day.  Was it really 46 years ago? Jeeez.   Listen to the whole song, not just the solos - but the mid solo is 1:27 and outro around 2:50.  Just a classic!

This composition and this particular rendition of it could raise tears - for several reasons.

Nice to see a few Peter Green shouts on here...

I saw PG & TSG tour and assume you refer to the sadness of seeing PG as a complete shadow of his former self?

I love the original and I’ve copied a lot of the linked arrangement for my own instrumental version. One day I’ll get it all recorded. 

I like the outro solo on live versions of Green Manalishi.

Yep, me too, first listening but that is quality, thanks for posting this!

The guitar solo that still gets me is a David Gilmore's Comfortably Numb live solo. Shear mastery without the shredding. A great example of less is more. One of the most emotive solos out there, for me anyway

Indeed, but I’ll raise you Mark Knopfler’s Going Home, or Brothers in Arms if you want emotiveness and less is more.
