Hard to top Jimi Hendrix......
For performance value, think Pete Townsend (the "windmill") or Angus Young (just fun to watch his antics) or even further back to Chuck Berry.
A list of songs with great guitar solos could go on forever, but here are a few of my old favs:
Highway Star (Deep Purple/Richie Blackmore)
Ramble On (Led Zep/Jimmy Page)
Eruption (Van Halen/Eddie Van Halen)
Bad to the Bone (George Thorogood)
P.S. Albert Buchard played lead guitar for Blue Oyster Cult (answer above)

Tony Iommi, Slash, Randy Rhoad, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Dave Navarro, Angus Young, Keith Richard and Carlos Santana and John Frusciante.
"Dont Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster" "not sure what his name is
Of course the classic "Stairway to Heaven - Jimmy Page"
"You shook me all night long" Angus Young

There are obviously many, many great performing guitarists. I've been playing for 40 years, and based on style, phrasing and taste, some of my favorite guitarists (for different reasons) are:
- Chet Atkins
- Larry Carlton
- David Gilmour
- Carlos Santana
- Eric Clapton
- Les Paul
