Alive
Alive ends on one of rock's most euphoric outro solos — and famously, the keeper take was a single pass nailed at the mix in England, with a Uni-Vibe swirling underneath. The rig is McCready's Ten staple: the black 1962 Japanese-reissue Strat, an Ibanez TS-9 pushing a cranked Marshall JCM800, a Cry Baby in the solo, and that Uni-Vibe on the outro. Note: the 1959 Les Paul fans tie to Alive is his LIVE guitar (bought in 1998) — the recording is the Strat.
