It sounds like a part of "Sweet Neocon" from ABB.

I see that these harmonicas come in different keys, knowing absolutely nothing about the harmonica does anyone know if Mick tends to use the same ‘key’ in a lot of the classic tracks? I wouldn’t mind trying to learn
I’m hardly an expert, but I’m pretty sure Mick plays “cross harp,” like most blues players. So if you’re playing Midnight Rambler in B, for instance, you’d use a harp in the key of E (which gives you the notes of B Mixolydian, as opposed to the less bluesy notes of B major.
The most important thing, though, is to use a blues harmonica — the simple Marine Band harmonicas you’d get for a child do not allow you to bend the notes, which is an absolute must.

Sounds like is Charlie on drums, doesn't it?
However, Mick's distorted sound is always awesome!It would be interesting to know if he uses a specific rig for harmonica.

To me it doesn't sound like Charlie

Might even be drum programming, like with previous Mick demos.
