Love those concerts that turn magical during the night. Buckethead rocks...
(Insert 'Off the beaten path' caution here)
Speaking of unconventional yet gifted guitar players, in my humble opinion Buckethead seems a bit quirky yet plays at the savant level.

(ie: *always* wears a mask & a KFC bucket on his head...but if you close your eyes all you hear is serious talent.) At the same time, if you go down the Buckethead rabbit hole, you will find that he's played a prodigious amount of music, all different genres to boot. Q: Does this make him a Prodigious Savant? Check out this video & hear/see for yourself!
FWIW I find the following video a great timesaving life hack when I need to recharge my internal mental health battery bank with at least *7* Zeppelin tunes...but only have ~5 1/2 minutes left in my schedule...with a nice little Star Wars intro thrown in for good measure. NOTE: Be sure to check the drummer ("Brain") out - he does the best John Bonham cover of anyone I've heard - as you can see from the screen snap he really winds up where it's needed. At some points in the video I actually kinda feel sorry for the drum kit - awesome!
Without further ado, here is a classic that used to be named 'Zeppelin con Carne':

...and even if you don't consider yourself to be a Zep connoisseur, forward this link to any Zeppelin friends that you have & ask them what they think about it. The ones that get around may have already heard it...the serious ones probably downloaded it so that they can play it in the kitchen while treating themselves to some tasty mexican food.
PS - Watch the crowd as the band kept surprising them -- few things are better than getting to attend great live music & something like this happens...
