Live guitarist question

Which guitarist have you seen live that went way above what you were expecting. I don't mean the 'best' guitarist, I mean the one that showed more talent than you thought they had, and they blew you away.

I'll start....Billy Corgan.

Billy Gibbons, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page (with the Yardbirds), George Thorogood, Roger McGuinn (The Byrds) - too many

Hendrix is the best, if only i'd been able to catch that live. If I had to go back to see one band, it would be Hendrix or Zeppelin, easily.

Hendrix was unreal. Had Felix Pappallardi playing bass and Mitch Mitchell on drums. Felix blew Noel Redding into the weeds.

A guitarist that I knew was stupid talented before seeing, but was still blown away was Leo Kottke.
The guy blew my mind. Unreal solo guitar player. Terrible singer though. haha.

A kid I met and stayed in a house with at the beach last summer. He said he played and sang country and one night he got the confidence after a few drinks to show us. He was absolutely amazing, never heard anything like it. I wish I could remember his name, he said he has a cd coming out soon with all his own songs and I'd love to buy it and show my support, kid has some SERIOUS talent. We all just stood in aw with our mouths open when he started to play and his voice was amazing too

Larry LaLonde from Primus.

I've always loved Primus, and I always respected Larry's style because I considered it "different". Usually he sticks to very weird slides, effects, squeels and harmonics. All of these things were present of course, but what really caught me off guard was his improv solos. They could range from blistering metal sound to a groovy Eric Clapton-esque style. Seeing him play live gave me a whole new level of respect for him.

I've never been disappointed by a Primus show...

Claudio Sanchez and Travis Stever of Coheed and Cambria were absolutely amazing together. When they play live, they take things to a whole new level. Everything they play is extended and real jamming !

Duane Allman, I feel so blessed to have seen him with the Brothers the Fillmore East in March of 1971. Only 24 when he was killed but he left such a legacy that still lives to this very day. The best.
