Best Solo? - Boston Herald

[vwjodyme]

I was scrolling through the boston herald's website and this pic of jerry caught my eye. Turned out they are looking for the greatest guitar solo so natural I scrolled down to the comments looking for Jerry and no one had him. Took me awhile to think of my absolute favorite Jerry solo, but I think it's got to be "Morning Dew" for me.

Love the Dew solos. He just absolutely shreds. This is another good one:

with Jerry there are just far too many. But heres a few off the top of my head:

(These are more or less traditional guitar "solos" - not spacey or long ensemble jams)

Simple Twist of Fate - Theater 1839 (2nd solo, pure jerry release)
Hard to Handle - 8/6/71
I Know You Rider - 3/9/81
Eyes of the World - 11/11/73 (1st solo)
Peggy-O - 5/3/77
Comes A Time - 5/9/77 (end solo)
Scarlet Begonias - 5/21/77 (Dicks Picks 29)


I could keep going but I'll stop with those examples

Flame On. Don't care. Trancendental.

It is seeing videos like this that remind me how awesome Prince really is at playing guitar. I would love to see/hear him do a bunch of Hendrix covers, I bet he would kill it.
