The part in "holes" that kills me is that vaguely submarine-sounding synth whoosh that comes in after the line "sink like polished stones." It's not that audible on the clip upthread, but on record.. chills down the spine every time.

haha well I think it's a very evocative solo, if not technically anything special; its tone, in the song as played in that performance, is striking.

That solo isn't a patch on the late period Louis Armstrong-a-like flugelhorn(?) solo from the album version.
