Hi Stan

Which version of the Concert are you listening to? If it is the first 
version released the solo is not on it, but it is on the most recent 
release. Apparently Benny Goodman pointed to Freddie to solo, not 
realizing that Freddie had the action on the guitar set very high 
(louder sound) which makes it very hard to solo, so Freddie did a solo 
of chord strumming.

Cheers
Greg
