No love for Jimmy Page?

I said that I would find room for him in my top five. The DVD's of Zeppelin live released a few years back are amazing, a must have for any page Page fan.

If anyone wants to see some really amazing guitar playing though, the most passionate playing I have ever seen is on the DVD "Stevia Ray Vaughan Live At The El Mocambo."

Seriously, the first time I saw this I sat still for the whole thing, couldn't even bring myself to take a one minute break to grab a beer refill. I have watched it countless times since then and I still get a chill down my spine every time. Often in concert, the performers start off in a slow gear and warm up to the point where the last set is more passionate and energetic than the first one but this preformance ... high gear from the first song. It's like SRV doesn't even know how to play any other way.
