Tough choice, but I have to say my 5 solo slide faves pre-blues are....

1- definitely Nothing To Fear,

2- It's All Gone Live (Montreux 86)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KG6XJhYALDk

3- TRTH part 1 & 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_Kc8TG9_3s

4- Nothing Happening By The Sea
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lij0Kgg26ew

5- Miss Your Kiss
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p4SIVa9exI


My top 5 slides post-Blues....

1- Somewhere Between Highway 61 & 49 (awesome version here!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCPbVoOHnCs

2- I Can't Wait For Love (my super favorite from the last tour live)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3knRSkHdWy0

3- On Broadway
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPturTBv6ec

4- Changing Times
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD_ljKhJMts

5- Dancing The Blues Away
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_mRxEun65U

Ever noticed how Miss Your Kiss and Dancing The Blues Away have the same riff but on a slightly different scale....?

I got a whole bunch more, but I'm sure someone else will name them here, :lol: :lol:

Cant find fault with your choices Lily, but i would squeeze Stainsby and Stoney Road from the last tour....

Between the eyes of love I call your name
Behind the guarded walls I used to go
Upon a summer wind there's a certain melody
Takes me back to the place that I know
Down on the beach

Hi everybody,

I particularly adore his slide work in ballads like:
- Gone Fishing
- Heaven
- Sing A Song Of Love To Me
- There She Goes

And of course the "louder" songs:
- Johnny Needs A Fast Car
- Texas
- It's All Gone (AIMS 1988)
- Stainsby Girls

REAgards, tobi
