Mike the face-melter

Look, I know as well as anyone here that Mike kicks major butt. My guitar teacher, however is challenging Mike's awesomeness! He was teaching me to play the solo on Yellow Ledbetter and half-jokingly ripping on Mike! Apparently he listened to a live version of the song that wasn't that great (I made him show it to me, it's weird, you can't hear anyone but Mike and Eddie, and Eddie's voice is super loud in the mix, I think the recording is somehow faulty). Anyway, he hasn't heard any other songs live, and I need something from you all. What is a specific live rendition of a song where Mike just KILLS it, like blows everyone away. Preferably a quick one, my teacher is a big classic rock/80s metal guy, so I think an eight minute Porch might weird him out! :D I'm thinking an especially awesome Alive or Once, where he just goes super fast and all over the place. Let's shut my teacher up everyone!

    It may not be what you're looking for but this is one of my favorites. Mike seems to just about lose it at the end...

    I'd say porch off of the dissident single (atlanta 93) would do the trick

    His solos on Black and Nothing As It Seems from Nurnberg, Germany in 2000 are flawless. Watch the vids on YouTube, wow!

    Not to be mean or anything, but I would say any self respecting guitar instructor should know better. Just for fun, tell him that Clapton is over rated.

    His solo on Immortality on Beneroya Hall was badass
