I remember loads of people at school after watching Hammy 75 remarking on how fantastic the guitarist was after seeing his Brighton Rock solo, fantastic stuff - definately the highlight.

Luke 1982
Don't remember exactly but jamming with Roger was quite long on last concert SHA tour in Tokyo 1st May 1975 - Son and Daugter. I personally remember and like few ones - from Japan gigs are always funny, Vancouver Dec 1978, Paris 1978, from ANATO tour and from Crazy tour in this small venues... (Hammy '79)
Don't know why exactly ;) but after few years on stage this guitar solos from Magic Tour and The Works are quite boring :P

I'd say the peak of Brian's solos was 1982 - definitely his most creative. If only there was more video from that US tour. Many reviews state that the sight of the lights chasing him around were a sight to behold.[/QUOTE]
I saw Queen at the Capital Centre in 82. My biggest regret was they didn't play Somebody to Love. But Brian's solo was awe-inspiring and definitely made up for it. He seemed to run the gamut and pushed the Red Special to its extremes. One moment it was in the deep end, sounding like a Harley being revved or the Space Shuttle launching, the next it was ear-piercingly high, as if he were blowing on a Toot Sweet whistle. I had no idea at the time if he was incorporating any licks from any songs-in-progress, but it wouldn't surprise me. I sure wish somebody recorded the show, but nearly 30 years on I've stopped hoping for this miracle.
I sat stage center in the first row of the first level (behind and above the sound board), and the stereo was magnificent. The light show was definitely a feast for the eyes. (And yes, I do have pictures but they are still lost in a box. I thought they were in the basement but after a futile search I realize they are in storage. They will definitely see the light of day soon. I promise!)

I like the solo from Houston 77 where he play bits of Hammer to fall and Khashoggi`s ship!
