Best riff: Ritchie Blackmore, "Smoke On The Water."

 

Best guitar solo: Jimmy Page, "Whole Lotta Love."

[baddog]

Love some Stevie Ray for sure. A personal favorite of mine is the late Gary Moore playing with Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce, both of "Cream" , on their "Around the Next Dream" album. The song "Naked Flame" has one of the best guitar fade-outs I have ever heard. Find it on YouTube and listen.

Lead riffs?.....too many to list but here is a few.

Jimmy Page.....Good Times Bad Times
Since I've Been Loving You

Ritchie Blackmore....Highway Star

Eagles....fade-out to Hotel California.

To me, almost anything from Mark Knopfler. Sultans of Swing. Never a cleaner solo.

Loudest concert you ever attended.

 

For me, it was Grand Funk Railroad at the Lake Charles Civic Center. It was in '71, '72 or '73. My memory is a little hazy from '68 to '74. Must be from old age. :)

Bang, Canned Heat, and Alice Cooper. Hoffheinz Pavillion, Houston, 1972. Took my old girlfriend on a double date. My friend's uncle who lived in Houston surprised us by picking up the tab. Money was real tight then so that was really cool.

Glad you found it. I forgot to say BBM. Please try one more off that album. It's called "Can't Fool the Blues". Listen to the riffs in that one and tell me how he compares to SRV.

I do know the song "San Francisco Girls".

I was attending Lamar in 1972. Knew a harmonica player who could play "Whammer Jammer" note perfect. He lived in South Park.
