What are your favourite three JR solos (best first!)

[Max Mcmahon]

Acid Rain
Octavarium
The Glass Prison

[Mantarkus]

I thought I had my favorites but after reading everyones posts and re listened to them I can't decide on just three of them.

Anyway here are my original top:

1.- Home (8:38 aprox. I'm so into it that my left arm moves when he does the wheel vibrato)

2.- Paradigm Shift (3:50 aprox. I consider it Jordan's BIG entrance)

3.- Ucan Icon (5:06 aprox. Right after the guitar-violin solos, like Jordan telling them "stop that you two")

I had no idea the ending to "Dark Eternal Night" was a keyboard until I saw them play last summer. Then I spent the 2 or 3 minutes cursing out loud.

I need me a continuuum. Anyone got a spare???

Well, I have to say that my three favorites Jordan`s solos are:

1. Kindred Spirits
2. Octavarium
3. Acid rain

Wow, not many people meantioning Universial Mind?! A bit surprised.
1: Universial Mind
2: Masada
3: Home
Those are the three ones I come to think about right away, but as you guys already mentioned, screaming head, acid rain, kindred spirits and the rest, just awesome as well!

A lot to choose from because of his many works, so i'll divide it into three categories: w/ DT, w/ LTE, and Solo. Here are mine:

w/ DT

1. (the crowd favorite) Dance of Eternity, BUT not just the ragtime section, but the whole keyboard part of the song itself

2. Beyond This Life solo section, notably the guitar/keyboard duet

3. Blind Faith, one of their best melodic songs

4. The Test That Stumped Them All

w/ LTE

1. Biaxident, cool piano solo

2. Universal Mind, during guitar/keyboard duel

3. The Stretched, noodling

4. When The Water Breaks, many to mention

Solo

1. Screaming Head

2. Piece of the Pi

3. Ra

4. Dance On A Volcano

5. Tarkus
