[Slowhand] compilation of killer solos

[James Vlahakis]

 I just pulled out a mediocre sounding boot from 1978 called "wonderful 
night" and halfway into this show EC just nails the solo on Double 
Trouble.  I also listened to another killer solo on Same Old Blues on an 
1985 boot called "Chicago No Bad Blues." 

Anyway, I'm thinking of putting together a multi-disc compilation of the 
best solos over the years.  Sound quality will be a secondary 
consideration with the quality of the performance being the emphasis. 
Here's my problem, I have so many boots that it will take me months to go 
through them all to pick out the best solos.  Does everyone want to toss 
in their opinions?  Maybe I can put together a list that identifies the 
ones that get consistently picked. 

As noted above, I was not really into the 1978 show until I heard Double 
Trouble.  I guess that means that we all should dust off so of the less 
than great shows and try to determine if we missed something! 

Could anyone help me with this project?  I'm about to take a vacation soon 
and I will be swamped before and after I return (I know, don't complain, 
its a vacation).  This might be a fun project for all of us to work on. If 
this gets too big for me, it might make sense to have people focus on 
certain decades.  Rather than go through all of my boots, I may try to 
focus on the 70s and trust someone else to pick other decades.  While 
Mark's website is great as he mentions certain standout songs and shows, 
it may not hep us if he simply says "this show is on fire."  I/we need to 
know which particular song was "totally on fire."
