I gave it a shot a few years back but it proved to be unpopular on here. It would be great if there was a Wiki that quoted all the different songs featured in the solo, Skye Boat Song, Waltzing Matilda, Danny Boy etc.

the best solo from Brian (for me) is Last horizon, Bijou and Just one life guitar version...
BM solo 2014 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu1YaGBUaHc
Great between 3'50 and 5'50 and between 11'00 and 12'15[/QUOTE]
There are many that weren't hits that appeal to my tastes. One notable one is his playing on the Jimmy Gnecco version (way better than Chris Cornells) of 'Someone to Die For'.
Very clever use of the chord sequence and not too pentatonic really....

Brian Mays solo on Rainbow particularly the first show is compact and fabulous and never outstayed its welcome ... I always skip this on the other live releases ...although I'll listen to Live Killers version all the way through on occasion...but I've heard the 2014 version and it does nothing for me...it would be the one part of the show I wouldn't enjoy ...but I know a lot of people still love those loonnnnggggg solos...not me...each to his or her own ;)

When did Roger get those puny rack toms? [/QUOTE]
It's the kit he has been using since the beginning of the tour. He's sound doesn't seem to be compromised by the shallower toms.
In the last couple of years there seems to be a gradual decline in deep shelled tom-toms. Although there are still a lot who use them.
Thinking back to the 70 's Keith Moon used quite shallow rack toms and still had a very powerful sound.
Also the less depth in the shell produces a clearer sound as far as FOH mixing goes.

That too, but I was thinking in the terms of a dozen or so of "Brighton rock" solos gathered, but also to be in stereo...

Note sure what to think of Roger's playing nowadays. Don't know if he's too low in the mix on the shows or if his chops are just to weak to cut through (probably a combination of both), but it all sounds like a mush to me. He looks so physically limited.

Post a link to it without the inclusion of the squawling arsehole and I will comment :-)[/QUOTE]
Have you ever seen or heard any of Brians '14 solos? Or do you have any idea of how they've been doing it? Even since the Q+Paul tours?? They're not doing Brighton Rock, or Son & Daughter, you know............

I think that mooghead doesn't want to be exposed even to one or two seconds of AL's "singing" while skipping his vocal part in search of the solo. :-)[/QUOTE]
He wouldn't have to.........jeez..........

I enjoyed Brian's solo here in Perth when they played in August. I've never seen them live before but know there live stuff quite well. I thought his guitar playing was very good considering his age. Same for Roger, I thought his drumming was very solid. I was impressed to see him playing Stone Cold Crazy as well as he did. :)

Physically limited? Well, yes, specially considering that he's not a very active drummer! It must be very hard for him to get back to shape... Specially at his age!
The thing you mention about the mix, may be a combination of acoustic of the venue (in case you were able to see them live) or the audio from the videos you saw... It may be that they didnt used proper mics in Roger's kit cause they caused some issues with the descending Q. They had to use some custom clips that may cause a different tone.
