Off the top of my head I'd go with both lead lines from Thin Lizzy's "Cowboy Song"... Almost any lead Frank Zappa played live... Eddie V's "Eruption"... and all of Clapton's leads with The Bluesbreakers. These choices by no means represent any disrepect to the Bucketheads, Steve Via's, Al Di Meolas, BB Kings, and Joe Satch's of the world!

Rory Gallagher's "A Million Miles Away" from "Irish Tour '74"
Carlos Santana's "Make Somebody Happy" from "Sacred Fire"
Brad Butler's "Love Song" from One Less Reason's "Faces and Four Letter Words"
Mark Kendall's "Old Rose Motel" from Great White's "Psycho City"
Frank Hannon's "Eye Of The Mind" from "100 Proof! Live"
Robin Trower's "The Turning" from "The Playful Heart"
Joe Bonamassa's "India/Mountain Time" from "Live From Nowhere In Particular"
And probably a ton I'm missing. Too much music.

Always thought Randy Rhoads' solo on "Mr. Crowley" was incredible anything Mr. Van Halen does is usually golden. Also Eric Johnson's Cliffs of Dover
