Too many to choose but this is one of my favourites:

Gorham was a great guitarist if somewhat overshadowed a bit by Robbo at times. Two of them together is pure magic

+1 on most of Gilmours solos. Amazing tone

Here's a few more of my faves:

Great track / guitar playing. Robbo may over shine him on this track, but not so much generally

I was struggling to come up with my fav SRV live solo. This is pretty awesome:D

YouTube and most pics blocked in this office, but I'm interested in this thread! Would some kind soul post the names/songs referred to above?

And my contribution probably can't be backed up by clips, but it'd probably be either Blackmore, "Highway Star" (Made in Japan) or Nugent, "Yank Me Crank Me" (Double Live Gonzo)...

Ooh! Forgot Gallagher, "A Million Miles Away", Irish Tour.

(Gotta stop this now)

LOVE Paul Gilbert, but I honestly prefer Vinnie Moore's instrumental version of the song off of Minds Eye.

Another great cover was done at the George Harrison Tribute at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I have such mixed feelings (can't stand the little fecker) about Prince, but he did an excellent job on this song. Too completely different genres and takes on the song, but impressive none the less.

I'm in work so can't view videos but I'm guessing Emerald is one of the Lizzy tracks posted. If I could play that entire solo I would die a happy man.

I know its not live but I cant find a live version. Bout 4:40 is the guitar solo. Puts chills up my spine.

Anyone seen Gilbert playing with Yellow Matter Custard at Modern Drummer years ago? It was when Portnoy won prog drummer of the year or something similar. Its deffo my favourite version of the While my Guitar Gently Weeps solo, even better than the YMC dvd.

That Vinnie Moore version is on Time Odyssey by the way, which I now have to download

Don't usually like focusing on one instrument or the bits where it's up for one guy to show off with a band... But if I had to pick, it'd be Nels Cline in this video with Banyan covering Maggot Brain (Funkadelic song). He does more with a guitar in these six minutes than most do in their career.
