Berton's best solos? How about all of them! I 've never heard him play a bad one. He certainly is one underrated guitarist..as is the Knack an underrated band. My Sharona is absolutely classic..I also like the one in let me out..Africa is awsome...Pop is dead...The extended one in Tequila/Break on trough is Great..and the extended solo he played on One day at a time when i saw them Live in Pr! I wish I had a copy of that.
