Top 5 guitar jams

What is your top 5 all-time guitar jams, you know the ones that made you pick up the tennis racquet and play air guitar (if you weren't a real guitar player)? For me it was:

1. Green Grass & High Tides / The Outlaws Live in concert
2. Why does love got to be so sad / Derek & the Dominoes in Concert
3. Transcedence / Santana - Moonflower
4. Allman Bros / anything from Fillmore East album
5. Too Rolling Stoned / Robin Trower

Freebird from Skynyrd is of course a given top 5 for many, any others that are off the beaten path?

grateful dead: feeling groovy jam in dark star from dix pix vol 4.

quite possibly the pinnacle moment in rock & roll.

honorable mention: the ending on the alt take of "love aint for keeping" on odds for sods by the who. why they didn't release it on who's next is astounding.

I'm not sure what I'd put in positions 2-5, but my all time fav is Duane Allman (with Boz Scaggs on rythm - "Loan Me a Dime" from Boz Scaggs fist album.

After that, probably "Layla" and "Stairway to Heaven".
