Favorite Bob Hartman Guitar performances

Just want everyone elses' s opinion. Some of my favorites are: "Ready, Willing and Able", "Judas Kiss", Godpleaser", "Speak to the Sky", and "I am on the Rock." What do you guys love to hear Bob rock out on?

The guitar on Judas' Kiss is a classic; if you are looking for the solos he has done I would have to say the 2 that have always stood out for me are the "Whole World" solo and the last solo on "Creed" that fades out the song. I will also say I fell in love with the gritty & dirty guitar licks on the whole JAH album; go listen to "Life As We Know It" and tell me if that isn't a classic.

My favorite is the live show from NY 1983 on trodland's site. Bob plays just about every style of music you can play at that show, from the original debut album up until More Power to Ya. I just love the raw, classic rock sounds that they produced then. I think it's my favorite recording of the whole Greg X. Volz era, at least that I've heard. If you haven't taken the time to listen to that show, you've really missed out. The sound quality is not perfect but it is more than good enough, and the guitar comes in loud and clear, just crank it up. I can't recommend it enough.

I like pretty much everything from Unseen Power. J & H is also good stuff. All About Who You Know is a good one live. WUC also features some might fine work. Midnight Oil, Sleeping Giant, Good News.
If you go back and watch the youtube clip of that guy Lucas playing Petra licks from throughout their history; assuming he's matching what Bob played, there's some good stuff there. Enter In is another good one.
I also liked All Fired Up back in the day. Roll the windows down in the 72 Buick, crank it up, get out on the highway and put the pedal to the floor. Good times. Bob and the guys provided the soundtrack to life for many people.

Last Daze is easily my favorite in this realm, with the rest of BB as well as On Fire coming up close. Of course, Angel of Light and Judas' Kiss are great too, but how can you compare so many different things? There were some great guitar parts on the self-titled too.

I've always liked his guitar work on "Pied Piper".

I love the solo he does on the Farewell version of Judas Kiss (from Vertical Expressions). It's just so smooth.
