"Astronomy Domine" signaled liftoff.
"Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" took it to a whole new level

The Pink Floyd, incidentally, invented the 'Ambient Music' genre; for those who don't already know that....
WTF?? Not sure I agree with that assessment.
Gilmore has excellent chops, obviously. And Amazing soul to go along with it all.
But there are so many excellent musicians, to say one is the best, it's like saying who is the best climber. No competition, or person, is going to be able to make that decision.
Hendrix, making his guitar talk on Hey Baby and various other cuts. His ability to hit the notes, and to pause in the right spots, yeah, he understood that. I have a track of his rhythm on "Have You Ever Been to Electric Ladyland". If you didn't know what cut that was from, you'd have a hard time figuring it out! Too bad he only made 3 1/2 albums in a little over 4 years...

Doh, how could I leave out Hendrix in my quick summary... and Stevie Ray Vaughn (Riviera Paradise!). Just reinforcing k-man's assessment that it's too hard to put labels on who's the "best." But it's fun to try. Signing off for the night, going to pump some plastic at Berkeley Ironworks.

I saw PF twice, once in 1970 at the Santa Monica Civic. This was right after they had released Meddle. The venue only held 5K people, so the atmosphere was pretty intimate. The next time was in 72 at the Hollywood Bowl where they performed Dark Side of the Moon for the first time iirc. Both times were pretty surreal, not to mention highly "electric"

The guitar solo(2nd one, I think) in
Comfortably Numb is cinsistently at the top
of the "Best Guitar Solos of All Time" lists.
Usually battling Stairway for #1.
I'm a big Animals fan.
Saw that tour in 88-89. (Edit: 87? When was that?)
So rad!

Ya, so many great guitar solos floating in this universe.
{Kinda OT, but here goes...}
One of the lesser-known rips is Rob Fetters here with The Bears:
Fear is Never Boring
Happens to be one of my favorite 'climbing lyric' songs, with great phrases like:
Oh no trouble now
Are your nerves failing
Don’t come unglued
If your heart skips a beat
Stay on your feet
Don’t throw that moment away
Joe Bob sez Check It Out!

one note about the Hollywood Bowl show was they had at least 10 or more search lights shining up behind the bowl, equally spaced apart, which created a awesome sunburst effect.
