Guitar solo like While My Guitar Gently Weeps

Part of what made this solo so cool is the moves & poses he did along with it. It’s pretty interesting that Prince basically choreographed the guitar solo. And he knocked it out of the park!
.
What are some examples of other artists doing similar guitar-god poses & moves like that? Jimi Hendrix comes to mind, like when he lit his guitar on fire. Who else and when?

Obviously not as cool as Prince or Jimi, but it sure is an iconic move.

This seems, to me, a (pretty weak) imitation of Chuck Berry's iconic Duck Walk.

A little ACDC is cool, and I get the Chuck Berry reference.

Here are a few possibilities I thought of, but I don’t know their music well enough to come up with a specific song and live video:
- Jimmy Page during Zep’s peak
- Steve Vai when with DLR
- Buddy Guy
- Orianthi
- Ace Frehley

Anybody know if one of them has something along the lines of WMGTW?
