NOSTALGIA RECUERDOS BONITOS Y TRISTES QUE GRAN ROLA HAY QUE SENTIRLA ESO ES MUSICA.

One of my top five favourite solos. I hate to sound like a blues snob, but I think I can say that he put "feel" or "emotion" or whatever you want to call it into a lot of his stuff, espicially the guitar solos. Shawn Lane done a great cover of this tune, although it's hard to hear it properly because of all the noise coming from the other people around him, unfortunately.

@Claudiobenyossef I'm so glad Frank didn't do drugs. I love Jimmy Page, but there are times near the end of Zeppelin when he was on H that it obviously affected his playing. You never had those kinds of concerns with Frank. He was always *on*, always prepared. I can't think of any live Frank I've heard where he played half-assed. He always played for his fans just as much as he played for the love of playing imo.
