Springsteen guitarist anticipates emotional shows

Lot's of love...Clarence Clemmons was an all time great!! "A Man in Love" one of my favorite songs...Hopefully, they will showcase some strong musician who has paid his dues, and not recieved the gratitude of a life served loving their art...There are many out there who could touch gratefully the hands of the musicians, as well as the hearts of the audience. carry On Indeed Boys, this is what life is all about.

This AP article sure sounds like they where listening to the Howard Stern show.

who is the new saxophonist? Is there one?

P.S. RIP to Clarence, who was in Lady Gaga's video "Edge of glory" and to Danny.

I saw Bruce in Boston Garden in 1980. the Big Man had on a Santa hat and he played like no tomorrow jamming with Springsteen. Great show!

Gonna miss the Big Man.

The sax sure did make a statement I loved!

see you at wrigley field this summer. RIP Big Guy

Van Zandt is a d*** good guitarist, background singer and proven Actor. He's a major part of the success of Bruce and the E Street band. Should be a great tour!

Will be tough to fill Clarence's position, but impossible to take his place.

Gonna be tough w/o him. He was sitting down a lot when I saw them in 2009...but he wailed as always. He was older than the most of the band I think.

The writer heard Van Zandt's interview on the Howard Stern Show on Sirius XM

Clarence's spot will be hard to fill. But eventually they will need to fill it because so many of the songs were written with sax in the mix. And I'll have to mention Nils Lofgren. What a great artist. Solid player with a decent voice. He doesn't get enough publicity unless that's what he wants

Thats nothing. When the prison band did our first gig without Elmo, our harmonica player, the outpouring of emotion was unfathomable. Murderers, rapists, con men, jaywalkers all cryin like babies. Elmo left the band by lethal injection.

ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY HE SHOULD SHOW MORE RESPECT TO CLERENCE //i lost little respect for bruce;;;he should of waited little longer;;;big man he gave alot to e street

Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul,"Forever" is better than ANY Springteen song! Steve Van Zandt has soul and depth .The Lyrics "If I give you my heart would you love me forever
Would you pick up the pieces if I stumble and fall
If my world falls apart could you keep it together
If I can't have you I don't want no one at all

Yo Steven ... heard you on Stern; if we could get Stern to shut his cake hole it would have been a great interview. As it turned out it was another Stern failure to know when to listen as he did with Waters in that interview. Stern should just interview himself and have his group of stooges stand and applaud when he farts.

Springsteen and Bon Jovi are icons...we as fans want to see them. RIP Clarence, we love and miss you!

I'd cry too if I bought a concert ticket at today's prices.

I wonder if it has crossed their minds to hire a new saxophonist and organist, the way other bands do when they lose members? I wouldn't want to hear "Born to Run" without a sax.
