"Live at the Fillmore East", and with his own band, Jeff Beck's "Wired", Steve Lukather and Larry Carlton "Live in Japan", Robben Ford...anything by him really, Peter Frampton's "Frampton Comes Alive" and with Humble Pie "Rockin' the Fillmore", George Benson with Vido Musso...awesome.
I'll list more as I think of them...
Al DiMeola was in "Return to Forever" with Lenny White on drums, Chick Corea on keys, and Stanley Clark on bass....this is some of the most incendiary, monsters-technique-laden, and technically incomprehensible musicianship ever recorded....what they do is simply mind boggling.
Don't forget Frank Zappa, Steve Vai and his guitar teacher at Berklee College of music, Joe Satriani.
Ritchie Blackmore is another....you know, Deep Purple and Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow.
