But seeing this again and listening critically, I'm feeling his showmanship gets an A and the playing a B, a bunch of wailing on Am pentatonic licks with a lot of gain and some effects...no doubt with great feel, but musically light.  But I have noticed in most cases, that's what the crowd wants in rock n' roll.

I wouldn't be to critical about it.  It's about improving with no rehearsal.  The musicians who were playing with him, loved it.

For a different point of view on solos.  Here's 3 different versions of the "Stairway to Heaven" solo.  Kind of fun to watch created by Rick Beato.
