The Live in Leningrad version of Far Beyond the Sun is sublime and Yngwie at his peak. As for Vai ( soon to appear at the Dome!) I would have to plum for G3 version of For The Love of God.

Saw Gary Moore throughout the early seventies right up to his last few years.
Bonamassa is the only one who is on a par with him IMO

Ha, I saw the tour of Malmsteen around live in Leningrad at Hammersmith. Absolutely incredible!
And as for Vai, I'd be there except that I'm a bit more than broke ATM. Incidentally, it was between for the love of God and the softer prayer track, which was sublime when I saw him at Portsmouth a couple of years back.

Have a listen to Blowin Free by Wishbone Ash then play Reelin in the years and guess where Walter/Becker got their ideas from

He's great - & he hasn't let his physical limitations affect his playing.

I am very familiar with both bands (saw WA at the Dome in 74). I see no evidence of plagiarism. For plagiarism see Muse (blatent rip off of Radiohead). WA are a folk-inspired rather ploddy romantic English band, whose stock in trade is the slow building epic, with 'duelling' lead guitars. Steely Dan are a Jaz inspired American band whose stock in trade (mostly) was 3-5 minute witty tunes with numerous key changes, and quite fast and intricate guitar solos, often double tracked. I think this is a minor level tune similarity thing

I read somewhere once (may have been Strummer's autobiography) that guitar solos are basically musical 
and that those who play them are just show offs. 
However, If we're talking 'Ultimate Guitarist', I'd give that title to Robert Johnson. He did sell his soul after all...
