Listen to the knebworth version from the dvd, IMO it's way better than the studio recording. Faster tempo and JB's drumming is just sick. I know jimmy made some subtle tweaks from the original soundboard but once you get past that, it's an amazing performance. Plus, and I may get bashed for saying this but jimmy was getting heavy into heroin during the presence sessions and you can almost feel the "presence" of the drug within that guitar solo. So warm and sexy sounding but at the same time the guitar crys out in almost a painful way. I don't know, for some reason whenever I hear page during that solo thats what I think of.

I thought i remembered reading on the garden tapes that at the 75 EC show he broke a string right before the solo to stairway and was forced to play it on different strings? I'm not a guitar player so I couldn't tell by the vid, but it did sound different from other solos of STH that i've heard.
