Wow. I started playing guitar because of May and Lukather is my favorite guitar player, but the only one here who delivers a tasteful blues solo is Carlton. May's solo is a mess and Lukather delivers some gimmicky licks that are totally out of place. Definitely not their best moments imho and I don't understand the praises in the comments.
Is it just me or is Brian not the best improviser? I'm a huge fan and he's obviously a brilliant guitarist but I've got to say when I've seen him play in an improvised setting his playing,while good, is not quite as top notch as you'd expect from a guitar legend such as him self. Maybe it's sampling bias but between this and his video jamming with Les Paul that's sort of the impression I've been getting.
Really cool to see such totally different players get together and play. Kind of puts all these stupid "best guitarist" pols in perspective. They are all different, and all great. And when they play together, everyone wins. Especially the audience.
Huge talent on stage, three brillant guitar-players and Claude Nobs is awesome, too. He did sooooo much for the Montreux Festival. Audience can be lucky. :)
Three masters! May’s tone is still the most original even though Carlton is a jazz virtuoso and Lukather a great shredder. You can hear B.B. King, and Clapton’s influence at times.

Lukather is fantastic, May really versatile, but Larry...he is a monster, his tone, phrasing, the way his famous 335 talks to you is unique.
Wonderful , but Larry Larry is the God father..
Never really a fan of these get togethers playing the blues.. simply because so many do not have the feeling for it at all.
Seldom rare but not pretty...
How much money did every musician get?
For me, it's Larry by a nose
Larry Carlton-guitar god. Steve Lukather-seriously underrated. Brian May-monster. All three together-SWEET.
All three guitarists are unique ,in their own sound ,to the point of musical genius ! 🎸
Some awesome musicianship there - it’s not a contest - these guys are all great!
Sir Mays stongest tone ever. Love beyond words:)

This sooo wow!
LOLS! Steve Lukather physically pushing

Three absolute legends
There's three of the top 100 right there on that stage.
Just love these three guys, Astoundingly good, Loved Brian Mays sound
