Thanks Clay, I can't hear any flutes on the studio version and the bit I am thinking of is a series of chords between the verses, I suppose they could be multitracked sax.

I think the brass is McKay playing Sax. Eddie Jobson used an M400 in
the studio and live back then. On "Street Life" it sounds like
mellotron flutes to me.
