I can recall a series of hot summer nights in the late 70's or early "80's" (feeling pretty good ) watching Springstein and The E Street Band performing at Giant's stadium . In my opinion Springstein , The Big Man and" Company" were the greatest live performers of their era. Nothing like a 4 hour Springstein Concert with encores galore. Man, we were beyond thrilled to be there!
But nothing , and I mean nothing , gave you the feeling that the Big Man did when he played his sax! Absolutely electrifying, riveting .....You did not want it to end ! Clarence Clemens was one of the greatest "sidemen " of all time.
The Big Man passed away yesterday in Palm Beach from complications of a stroke. He was only 69. His relationship with Springstein was well documented, going back to the 70's. He was , and will always be remembered as part of the Sprinstein Family.
May you rest in peace! You will be missed...
