John Harrington was the best electric guitarist I've seen live since I saw Andy Fairweather-Lowe play with Roger Waters back in the day. He was spectacularly good, and managed to play all the fancy bits without ever coming off like a professional guitar masturbator (a common pitfall since guitar solos went out of style in the 90s).
