"Too Rolling Stoned," Robin Trower. We saw him at the Seattle Coliseum in '74, the opening act was Ravi Shankar!
This is one of my favorite all time guitar solos. We listened to this album etc. until we were blue in the face.

I can't remember where I posted this recently, but it fits.
Lotta Trower fans never knew he was actually Procol Harum's guitarist up through "Conquistador", but this one,
Broken Barricades , from '71, is one of those that remained etched in my memory from the first time I heard it at 14, and presages all the Hendrix homage he did later on.
Original gatefold cover was pretty cool, too, the faces are exposed by diecuts in the front cover:
Drummer BJ Wilson was actually tapped by Jimmy Page for Led Zeppelin, but passed, so Bonham got the job.
You like "Misissippi Queen" ? Then you oughta love "Power Failure" and "Poor Mohammed" and "Memorial Drive"
To me those all have that same classic Les Paul "bite on the verge of breaking up" sound.
"Song for a Dreamer" evokes "1983" from
Electric Ladyland, that one might be a Strat..
"Power Failure":

Warning:
There
is a drum solo, but it's probably one of the most unique in all of rock.
This is NOT your "Whiter Shade of Pale" Procol Harum .
