JP's solo in Breaking All Illusions-Heard it somewhere?

[Virtualman64]

Ok,I keep thinking I've heard the beginning of this solo before,starting at about 6:10,and is slightly repeated again at about 8:29.After much research I'm thinking it sounds similar to a Neal Schon solo but,I can't place it.I'm thinking it might be from Send Her My Love from Frontiers at about 2:50 of course the beats per minute are a little faster in it.See what you guys think,or maybe someone else can place it.

It definitely has a lot of Neal Schon influence but it's not the same solo.  This isn't surprising since JP has written a lot of NS inspired material over the years.  It's one of the many reasons I really like JP's playing.

I hear some Andy Timmons in there, but you can hear something like that in JP's Lost without you too.

I mentioned something about this in my Top 20 thread. It is possible that you're hearing inflections of the Lines In The Sand solo in Breaking All Illusions.

Check out these parts, when each solo begins to climax:

LITS: https://youtu.be/5yhQyceJ37w?t=6m55s

BAI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA01aIVzNcE&feature=youtu.be&t=8m9s

The melodies aren't the same, but the songs are in the same key, and the entire structure of each solo is very similar. Each solo starts off very minimalist, with JP playing lightly over stripped down instruments, and building the solo up into a powerful climax.

If you listen to the entire solos of LITS (https://youtu.be/5yhQyceJ37w?t=6m8s) and BAI (https://youtu.be/pA01aIVzNcE?t=7m11s) you will notice how they have a very similar structure.

Is it possible that Lines In The Sand is what you're recalling familiarity to?

At least that's what I always have to thinkg about when I listen to BAI. I'm always about to burst out into singing "In the stream of consciousness"

Great to know someone else thinks so too!

I've always thought I've heard it before too ever since I first heard it.  I could never place it, but I don't think Send Her My Love is it.  Amazing solo though.

JP said he was going for a Gilmour type feel. Any similarities to any Floyd songs? I'm not really familiar enough.

It reminded me of LiTS as soon as I heard it.

The only one that came to mind is the solo in "Mother" but to a very limited extent, more in the way it's played than in the notes I think. In general I think JP is totally crazy about that solo... Even if rather simple one.
