yngwie malmsteen - probably my pick as best "technical" - Anything from the " Rising Force" album.

The song that would generate the most Hell Yeahs at parties.

I have the Live at Pompeii vinyl box set. Excellent. Got to see thm live in 95 I think it was, at RFK stadium in DC. Hell of a show.
You are right. Never got to see them live but I have the vinyl, Live at the Matrix. I love the way that B3 with the Leslie rotating speaker just whines in the quiet parts.
I was a stagehand/soundman in the latter 70's/early 80's. Worked many, many different shows, but never saw them live. Shit ! They seemed to avoid Seattle. Can't say as I blame them. Seemed like if they did a west coast tour, they would start in Vancouver B.C., then skip over Seattle and go to the Bay Area, then move on to SoCal. For them, I think Seattle/Portland was flyover country. Not sure they were wrong. Although, I think they could have camped in Seattle and done three or four nights in a row and sold out all of them. Would have loved to have worked their shows if they had come through Seattle or Portland.
Lately, I have really grown to really like Gilmour and his guitar work. Is he an prodigy ? No. Is he someone that I enjoy listening to ? Absolutely. What I have found to be quite interesting is the level of involvement of his wife Polly, in the songwriting aspect of their presentations. She seems to be a really nice lady, understated, but a key part of David's more recent works. She has also tried to patch up the bad feelings between Roger Waters and Gilmour. I admire her efforts, but to me, Waters is a douche and Gilmour and everyone else is better off without him. Noble cause on her part, kudos. Gilmour was very busted up about the passing of his very good friend, Rick Wright. I think it was the same for Nick Mason. Richard Wright was a hell of a human being and he was snatched from the world too soon....
