Allman Bros "Blue Sky" is on Mt Rushmore rather easily AND wins going away for best dueling solos.
Duane Allman at 1:04
Dicky Betts at 2:39
Duane > Dicky, but still both are legends.
Also an interesting study of guitar amp. Duane was using a 50 Watt Marshall Head vs Dicky's 100 Watt Marshall. So Duane tone has a little more grit, overdrive to it.
I was so close to suggesting this but then spent the next several minutes deciding between Blue Sky and a few others, primarily In Memory of Elizabeth Reid, which is my favorite song by them. That goes on for too long though and has solos all over the place to the point that the lines between are blurred.
Word has it Mick was furious they have to follow them and told the festival directors The Stones were gonna walk if they didn’t get the boys of the stage. Race was there….True?
Free B was great but remember they did the same solo every time I think, no improvisation… maybe somebody did stretch out originally in this one (didn't listen too long)

Comfortably Numb is pretty legendary

Of the Coney Island Somethings?
Great solo but kind of suffers from the too obvious of an answer thing and constantly being really high up on every list for decades now.
Stones were spent as a live act by 1972.
Lynyrnd Skynyrd were still in their prime in 1976 and clearly a better live act.
Elizabeth Reed. What do you do the 284th time it goes duh, dun, dun, dun, duh duh for 13 fucking minutes?
It doesn't do that. I know what you mean, but still.
