Some of my favorite guitar solos are:

"Are we in Trouble now" from A Night in in London 1996 - brings always to tears to my eyes
"Brothers in Arms" and "Sultans" from Mandela concert 1988
"Brothers in Arms" from Monserrat concert 1996
"Feel like going home" with Tom Jones
"Tunnel of Love"
"Telegraph Road"
"Why aye Man", especially the version of Paris 2008

Unfortunately MK doesn't play these kind of solos these days.

It depends on your mood I guess, and like everyone else I find it hard to choose.

But some of my absolute favorites, which I haven't seen mentioned, are Love over gold and Fade to black.

One solo. With DS, solo, as a sideman, whatever.

This is hard, but for me even better candidate is “Our Shangri-La” from Real Live Roadrunning DVD.
I judge it overall by sonic quality of recording, by mix, by mood, by notes played, by everything.

I too love the Shagri-La outro on this show : aerian feeling, serinity, landscape...gorgeous

but of course, it's not the usual iconic mark'style playing, so that's why I would not vote for this one as my fav solo, even if I would put it in top ten

Tunnel of Love, especially from 1985.

Talking of Strat sounds, IMHO one of the finest is on the EP song If I Had You.  Beautiful outro.

totally agree on both points

the strat sounds around 83 are indeed gorgeous : the tone on smooching is one of my fav, and very similar to if I had you
