best "second guitarist" solo

[Pottel]

man, Gilmour, McCartney, Ian Paice, Mick Green,...only thing that is missing is ...mark :-)

[Pottel]

but his solo in that same song, around 21:28 in th video sounds 100% the same as david gilmour playing with Paul McCartney in 1999:
check here after 2:05

and then Richard

check at 1:42
same, just a tad faster..

no

whotcha mean "no"?
it is friggin obvious!

Phil Palmer was a little uneven but I like his raw MFN solo on On the Night. Quite different from Mark, who always sounds a bit slick.

Summer of Love is a great track for Richard, indeed.

Must say I like Richard's solo on Pyroman as well, even though I'm critical of him at times. It's perfect on a recording from the STP tour that's on my mp3 player.

I mean I don't think they are the same, similar yes, but I would not say it's the same solo.

OK I've listened again and I see where you're coming from. The first 6 notes (repeated twice) are similar but to say that the whole solo is the same is incorrect.

But Richard is just playing the melody of Born to Run, which has been around for ages. So if anyone has copied, it's Gilmour...

Yeah his On the night MFN solo sounds problably the best (from all the MFN solos he played), but when I listen to bootlegs, especially from 1991, it doesn't sound good to my ears. He does the same thing over and over again - plays one high long note, then a bunch of quicker descending ones, and again a long note ...
