The Guitar Solo thread turned into a style of music issue. So just list SOME of your favorite live performances of any style here. You don’t need to list the style unless it’s something like “emo-industrial-grindcore-gothic-doom metal with early Lithuanian pagan polka undertones”
Be cruely critical ONLY if you’ve watched the entire performance
Michael Hedges
Rory Gallagher
Monte Montgomery

-These guys were the best live show I’ve ever seen. Crazy stuff. Very high energy.
-Generally I think the costumes thing is stupid, but it does add to their vibe. They’ve very good at selling a specific package.
