Believe or not, George Benson is meant to be the business on the guitar

Ok BFR I think you've sorted his show :-)

Saga Lout

There are so many.

Stephen Stills and Neil Young on the live versions of Carry On and Southern Man on the Four Way Street album.

Also, Handy and Phoenix on Wishbone Ash's first album were pretty nifty.
