Dream of Mirrors has always had one of my favourite Janick solos and RotAM, as Cried put it, is just a beast, especially live.
 
TCDR. I was thinking about voting for 22 as well, but although it has a nice feel, there's not that much going on melodically. We've already had some better solos of this type in this tournament.
 
Only Colours this time. I could have voted for Blood, but the sound's too muddy and it would barely pass anyway.

Never was a fan of the 22 solo - too Gilmourish and too long. I like it better in the context of the whole song, however.

The Starblind snippet is cute, but that's all. It's more of a transition than a proper solo.
 
These Colours on the World's Hands.

Though I do wonder about that Starblind-piece. I'm not entirely sure who plays what as Dave approached Adrian's style so much on TFF, and in the case of there being shorter pieces where they interchange - that part after the tremolo dive always seemed like the same tone and player to me.
