The Big Man is dead - Reqiescat in Pace

Ones time I heard , I saw, I felt ...
Clarence Clemons (1942 - 2011), Reqiescat in Pace, was the saxofon player. He died on Saturday at a hospital in Palm Beach, Fla. He was 69.
Clarence Clemons, the saxophonist in Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, whose jovial onstage manner, soul-rooted style and brotherly relationship with Mr. Springsteen made him one of rock’s most beloved sidemen.
Mr. Clemons’s first encounter with Mr. Springsteen has become E Street Band lore. In most tellings, a lightning storm was rolling through Asbury Park one night in 1971 while Mr. Springsteen was playing a gig there. As Mr. Clemons entered the bar, the wind blew the door off its hinges, and Mr. Springsteen was startled by the towering shadow at the door. Then Mr. Clemons invited himself onstage to play along, and they clicked.
According to New York Times The young Mr. Clemons was captivated by rock ’n’ roll. He was given an alto saxophone at age 9 as a Christmas gift; later, following the influence of King Curtis — whose many credits include the jaunty sax part on the Coasters’ 1958 hit `Yakety Yak´ — he switched to the tenor. He once said in an interview: `I got into the soul music, but I wanted to rock. I was a rocker. I was a born rock ’n’ roll sax player.´
With Clarence at my side, my band and I were able to tell a story far deeper than those simply contained in our music,
Bruce Springsteen added.
His life, his memory and his love will live on in that story and in our band.
He was working as a youth counselor in Newark when he began to mix with the Jersey Shore music scene of the late 1960s and early ’70s. He was older than Mr. Springsteen and most of his future band mates, and he often commented on the oddity — even the liability — of being a racially integrated group in those days.
`You had your black bands and you had your white bands´, he wrote in his memoir, `and if you mixed the two you found less places to play´.
I saw Him mid-2003. He played the best solos and also my favorite song Jungle Land from the album Born to Run`76 by by Bruce & E Street Band.
