As others have mentioned it was the inimitable
Norton Buffalo who did that solo.

Althought is was a ~Mean~ solo, it was no mean
feat.
I believe Norton switched between 4 different keyed
diatonic harps during that break. The harps are: F,
Eb, Db, and C each is played in regular cross
position (as the song modulates between C, Bb, Ab
and G).
