BTW on a romantic theme, buy your laydeee Amore by Andrea Bocelli. It is really superb. She will love it and there is excelent smooching stuff on there.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Night Society by The Silver Jews.
They play their first suposed UK gig in this time of ours well the end of April grabs us and shakes our pitiful hands.
I'm excited.

My own choice would be the end of Derek and the Dominoes (leyla)

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

dogs-pink floyd, comfortably numb aswell

led zep-stairway

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

UFO - Lights Out - Guitar/Michael Schenker - end of song, the greatest ever guitar solo by one of the top 5 guitarists of all time imho.

 

[Lammy]

Pulling teeth - Cliff Burton

 

[Trufflehound]

Jools Holland's piano solo on the end of the album version of Uncertain Smile by The The takes a lot of beating.

Many of the Wedding Present's guitar parts run it close though, in particular the last few minutes of the 12" version of This Boy Can Wait.

Or the last few minutes of both Angel and Group 4 off Massive Attack's Mezzanine.

 

[Icy Gull]

Al Stewart Year of the Cat


Seamless change from acoustic guitar to electric guitar to sax during the instrumnetal solo - just stunning

 

[METALMICKY]

Walk on By - The Stranglers - Keyboard/Guitar instrumental in the middle , lasting about 3 minutes

Good call. And of course Dave Greenfield the Stranglers keyboard maestro came from Brighton. Forget the Sex Pistols the Stranglers were the greatest Punk band.

For what its worth my other fave instrumentals

Flying in A Blue Dream- Joe Satriani
For the Love of God - Steve Vai
Answers- Steve Vai
Far Beyond the Sun- Yngwie Malmsteen

Weis Heim- Rainbow (Ritchie Blackmore)
88- Level 42
