Then you finished up with Coldplay, my friend's favorite band. I cried and went to bed, and slept and dreamt of my friend at home, where he wanted to be. Thank you Jimmy and Coldplay for 20 years of sleep.

I watched this show 20 years ago and tonight's show was strangely emotional to watch. 20 years ago, I was in an abusive marriage and at my lowest point. I had never heard of Coldplay before and I remember loving that performance and my husband made fun of them. I ended up leaving that marriage, opening a business, and I became a HUGE Coldplay fan. Now my kids are grown, I'm very happily remarried (15 happy years so far), and we RV full-time. I even have a Coldplay playlist! I'm honestly the happiest I've ever been!

I should know this better as I'm a pianist myself, but others in the thread have identified it as a bass clarinet, which made sense to me as the sound wasn't quite the same to my ear as a sax and my half-educated idea of a bass clarinet was that it looked sax-like. Again, it's cringe that I don't know this definitively on my own, but I'm putting my faith in the consensus here. Perhaps you can point out why they're wrong?
