The entire thing is a masterpiece of ensemble playing, and more specifically, two-guitar weaving, but the solos from 4:28 - 9:10 are especially breathtaking.

That's okay. Because it's me and Quine/"Waves of Fear" FOREVER now, anyway. Might have been a different story if Bruce had posted "Little Johnny Jewel." Wrong as that would have been, since if God had wanted that to be on "Marquee Moon," it wouldn't not have been. Prior to becoming a CD re-issue bonus track. Which is actually a happy thing for me, I never got around to getting the single. But that wasn't my fault. I was young and stupid.
But wrong is wrong. So it's still wrong. Plus this one's better for the thread anyway.
You know, I see it happening time and again when online videos of pianists, rather, piano players, who play a traditional piece faster than a spinning planet and louder than simultaneous trumpets by ten elephants, are applauded by what obvious deludables/commentors believe to be pianistic mastery. HA! There's little mastery. Please tell me not that I am the first to tell you so.
So, here I am offering what I think are masterful guitarists playing some music passages pretty fast (and loudly), and with only their well-known names to bank on would I submit to post. Here you have it. My best to you guitar enthusiasts.
Nils Landgren: Trombone-Vocals Michael Brecker: Tenor Saxophone Esbjorn Svensson: Piano Pat Metheny: Guitar Lars Danielsson: Bass Wolfgang Haffner: Drums
