NAME this performer

[Dallas12]

I saw a concert at Stanford Maples Pavillion in the mid 80's
where the leal vocals of the his band came on stage and
played solo guitar for over 30 minutes without is band.
He captivated the audience and then 1 by 1 introduced the band.
Can you guess who this performer is?

Hints:
He appeared on Saturday night live more than once.

I am not giving any chips away but I will give a special prize to the winner.
I will write 200 words or more why the winner is a better poker player than me. That is priceless.

2nd hint later today

Dam I missed this one and I knew the answer too. Just one thing can you give a idea of the time you do the next one. This is so everyone will know when to be in the forum. Thanks
