The greatest live sax solo ever?
Of course no-one can definitively say, but this is the best I have ever witnessed. The saxaphone is a marvellous instrument in the right hands, isn't it? And Pee Wee Ellis is that man here.
PS I'm expecting no more than 40 views and no responses on this thread but it only took out 4.5 mins of my day. ![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5GMHzPeEyA&t=2m37s |

Nothing beats the solo from T'Pau - China in your hand.
Haha, jokes. |

Sax is wonderful, but I don't know enough songs that feature saxophones... save for Careless Whisper.

Almost everything ever recorded by Junior Walker and the All Stars is worth checking out to hear great saxophone playing.

That Bob Holness is a multi-talented guy.
![]() ![]() That was a rumour that went viral even before twitter was a twinkle in its inventors eye. IIRC someone famous started it, din't they? Anyway, I believe the real sax player was Rav Ravenscroft. And it WAS great but I've never heard him live so can't compare to Pee Wee Ellis' incredible playing.

Do a search for David Sanborn.... You will be suprised how many of his solos you know, plus his own work is amazing....

According to Wikipedia it was Stuart Maconie that started the rumour whilst working at the NME in the '80s.
That's it! I remember reading an interview with him once and he admitted starting the rumour. A classic!
