Best guitar explosion of all time

Won't Get Fooled Again, from Who's Next, the "yeahhhhhhh" in the last refrain just before "meet the new boss, same as the old boss." Nobody could do power chords like Pete, then or since.

I'm not sure I know what a guitar explosion is, but if you refer to extended solos, I think Duane Allman's ~several minute solo on Boz Scagg's "Lone Me a Dime" has to be mentioned.

Duane on "Loan Me a Dime" is an excellent example! Also his solos on "You Don't Love Me!" on the Allman Bros "Live at Filmore East".

A question for the Fripp "Baby's on Fire" contingent: Anyone else prefer Phil Manzanera's version with 801?

Even though it would never qualify as an "explosion" my favorite Fripp solo for Eno is the odd, little elliptical piece on "St. Elmo's Fire" from Another Green World.

If the "explosion" is a burst of energy at the end of a long solo "fuse" (maybe "guitargasm" works better) there are a bunch of Richard Thomspon solos that rise to the top of my list - the live "Calvary Cross" from the Watching the Dark Box set might be first among those IMHO.
