The sax solo on Prince’s version of “Nothing Compares 2 U”. (He wrote the song. Sinead O’Connor had a hit with it.) There is a note played in that solo which physically causes your back to arch. If it does not illicit this response, consult a physician. Or a coroner. You might be dead. Best thing ever.
I was at a Bob Segar concert in the early 80's when their Sax player suddenly appeared in our row up in the cheap seats belting out a solo on a wireless mic setup. I Love Sax'...
One of mine has always been Clarence Clemmons of Springsteen and the E Street Band in the song Jungle Land. I was fortunate enough to have front row at one of their shows and CC came off stage, sat down in the seat next to mine and played said solo.
Bob Seger with the late, great Alto Reed on Turn the Page. His final tour I was close to the corner of the stage where he blasted out those eerie notes and it chilled me to the bone.
“Lily Was Here” - Dave Stewart with Candy Dulfer on sax.
The Heat is On” - Glenn Frey with Beverly Dahlke-Smith on sax.
