Re: The best of the solos - your picks

Stop, Sloe Gin, and the Great Flood would have to be on my list - but I guess If you're looking for five the other two would change like the wind.
Would be good to have something a little more upbeat - why not Just Got Paid from Live from Nowhere in Particular - surely that deserves a shout?

Ian, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!! lol

Honestly, these were the first three songs I thought of.
Lately, I've been digging the solo from "I'll Take Care of You".

and would have to add:
Reconsider Baby
Mountain Time

"Rock ON & Keep the Faith"

For me it's still the first song that kicked my butt. The intro solo to A New Day Yesterday from ANDY Live. smile Smokin Joe!

Re: The best of the solos - your picks

Just finished playing  Song of Yesterday (BCC Live Over Europe)  a few moments ago, at what I call concert volume and I totally lost myself for those minutes.   Feakin' awesome.  That one lifts my spirits like no other.


I find myself playing a lot of Beth Hart and Joe while I am driving my car with my 6yr old daughter.  She really loves Sinners Prayer off Don't Explain. I just love it when she is vocalising Joe's guitar work off that track!!! 

She just loves Beth and Joe!!!

That's right, Trev, start 'em off young!  That generation will keep Joe performing and going into his 80s!!
