On the album "Outrider" from the late 80's, a solo work.

His guitar playing on the track has got to be the pinnacle of his ability to make a Stratocaster sound like its powered by a nuclear reactor.

I kid you not, just take a listen, the studio recording is better due to the care taken to record it, the live version is ok also.
