When Bill (aka Zoot Horn Rollo) 'hit that long lunar note' on his Telecaster, that truly was the most awesome guitar tone I ever heard.
Bloody HELL.
Jeff Beck in the 70’s Jammin through a jazz chorus in a pub it’s all in the fingers.playing a custom made aluminium Ibanez ISTR
Gary Moore Guildford 2 Soldano Les Paul’s
Daevid Allen glissando guitar at Marseille academy of art 1976 emotional or it seemed that way.
Jan Ackerman jammin in a bar in Breda with house band post focus but god can he play.
Derek Trucks small London club gig before he was well known. Had never heard such moving slide playing and tone.
sure there have been loads of others but they stand out.
They were great. But do I really remember the tone any of those guys had? I can imagine what they sounded like because I know their records, but does anything about their tone, that particular night, genuinely stick in my memory? Not really.
Maybe a couple. I remember seeing John Paul Jones when his album Zooma was out, in my mind that was a great sounding gig. And Extreme on the Pornograffitti tour - I remember Jason Bieler in the support band Saigon Kick sounding much better than Nuno Bettencourt.
Wolf People have a brilliant sound, all big old amps turned up loud and fantastic players as well.
I remember one Hammersmith Odeon gig for Toto where I got into the auditorium early and they were still sound-checking his guitars and there was a guy sitting near me with a walkie-talkie and I recognised him from the Rocktron ads and it was Bob Bradshaw (where possible, Luke took him out on the road with him).
Of late, John Mitchell of It Bites, Frost - all from a Marshall JMP-1.

That said, I saw Pink Floyd at Live 8, which was, obviously, spectacular
Absolutely awesome - probably the best sound I’ve ever heard an electric guitar make. Interestingly, his backup ‘old gold’ Les Paul which he used on Cinnamon Girl actually sounded even better than Old Black, but that may have been because of the dropped tuning.

He blazed onstage with a 10 minute instrumental which made me realize 2 things. He was probably the best player i've seen. It was the best sound of any concert i'd seen. I didn't realise he was so good & i'm not really a fan.
Kevin Russell blues band S.Francisco . He regularly played through a blackface super reverb i think. Astonishing sound for an unmiked strat in a average sized bar.
