This has the makings of a great survey question – name someone who is great in concert, not so much in the studio. Or vice versa.

This is the classic Grateful Dead dichotomy.  I actually like most of their studio albums, but many deadheads just think they suck compared to live versions.

Funny -- Dave Marsh says the opposite.  ;)

The list of guitarists posted by AL:

Quote
1.: Carlos Santana
2.: Jimi Hendrix
3.: Eric Clapton
4.: Chuck Berry
5.: Keith Richards (Rolling Stones)
6.: The Edge- (U2)
7.: Duanne Allman (Allman Bros)
8.: Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead)
9.: Pete Townshend (The Who)
10.: Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin)
11.: Nancy Wilson (Heart)
12.: Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac)
13.: Lindsay Buckingham (Fleetwood Mac)
14.: Jeff Beck
15.: Joe Satriani
16.: George Harrison (The Beatles)
17.: Prince
18.: Eddie Van Halen
19.: James Honeyman Scott (The Pretenders)
20.: Johnny Marr (The Smiths)
21.: Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits)
22.: Bonnie Raitt
23.: Dick Dale
24.: Jack White (White Stripes)
25.: Stevie Ray Vaughan
26.: Rory Gallagher
27.: Mick Ronson (Bowie-Spiders From Mars)

I attempted to vote for Richard Thompson, because I figured the other two I'd most likely vote for (Beck and Zappa) had better chances of being chosen. Unfortunately, AL's wonky app didn't count my vote. C'est la vie.

Hmmm, did AL say its based on her poll?  I'd imagine its just ten random examples.  Wonder if we'll hear anything truly interesting/unexpected?

I'm listening halfheartedly because I'm not a big guitar-solo guy; if I had made a request, it would have been for Mick Taylor's work on "Time Waits for No One" that we just discussed recently.  I'm also big on Craig Chaquico's work, especially on the Spitfire album, but I'm largely alone in that.

Good point!  It's both George and Eric, but EC handles the lead:

Heh. I'll actually VHM Jerry, much to Geoff's surprise. This was the period when I found the Dead and Dead-related stuff more than tolerable.
