Unbelievably sad. I'm lucky to have seen Bruce and The E Street Band over 50 times. Wasn't the same without Danny, unthinkable without The Big Man. RIP Clarence.

    agreed 100%. The E Street Band will never die, but it's definitely never going to be the same.

    I can't even imagine the E Street Band without the Big Man.

    I wasn't on board when people said the ESB died with Danny...I am on board with the idea it dies with Big Man. In my opinion, you really need Bruce, Steve (or nils), Big Man, Roy and Garry. Now that one of those five is gone, it really is tough to call it E Street.

    RIP Clarence. You gave me great memories in the 20 shows I saw you.

    It was an awesome time. The last thirty minutes were kind of surreal. Really couldn't stop thinking how the e street band was gone forever.

    I wouldn't say it's gone forever, it's just changed forever. Bruce will never let the band die.

    I don't want to start a huge war/debate, but I feel like Clarence was more important to ESB than Roi was to DMB.

    That's not me saying that Roi wasn't important, because he certainly was, but I just feel like Clarence was what made that band what it was, where with DMB I feel like that spot is more Carter or Boyd.

    Again... just my opinion.

    I'm actually just recently starting to explore the Springsteen/E Street song collection (beyond the popular singles), so I don't know too much about the Big Man, but from what I can tell, he was one heck of a sax player.

    Rest in Peace, Clarence.

    I'm sure he'll jamming up in heaven with Roi.

    When I think of the E Street band, not Bruce, but the E Street Band, the first person I think of is the big, black saxophone player. The band will be forever changed and this is so sad.

    This sucks. RIP to one of the top 2 sax players ever.

    As a Jersey boy this is a tough one. We lost Danny Federici a few years back and now Clarence. Hope I never see the day when Bon Jovi is NJ's band.

    The E Street Band is definitely dead, but Clarence was 69 years old.

    They have been dragging his ass out on tour for at least 5 years. What kind of self respecting rock star lives to be 70? He blew some of the greatest tunes and he toured with one of the greatest bands ever. He was their spiritual core. And probably one of Bruce's only true friends.

    I am sad he's gone because I'll never get to see him again, but he lived one of the greatest lives.

    I was at the Dispatch show in NJ and about two-three songs in I go on Twitter and see the NY Times article. I just sat there and blankly stared for about 20 minutes in disbelief. Aug 19, 2008 kept popping in my head. Such a horrible day for music. Clarence Clemons will forever be missed, not only by E Street fans but by the entire music world.

    just listened to Jungleland from Live in NYC while driving home and i balled my balls out. Horrible. I'm gonna miss him so much.

    Jacob Clemons, his son, plays just like him. He'll keep his legacy alive. The E Street Band will never die, but it is forever changed.

    Re: Bruce Springsteen Appreciation Thread

    There's a fantastic, long tribute to Clarence on backstreets.com, the Springsteen fan association's website, today. A pretty beautiful piece, written in the way that only die-hard fans can write:

    http://backstreets.com/clarence/

    All of this is reminding me of my one and only show, on May 2, 2008. It was a rescheduled show, one of the first 7 they played after Danny Federici passed away, the last on that leg of the Magic Tour, so there was a bit of a sad note in the air: the show opened with a video tribute to Danny, set to a recording of "Blood Brothers", with the band standing onstage in the dark.

    Once the show started, though, it was nothing but an exuberant experience, and one of the images that endures wasn't even all the wonderful things happening onstage, but of the two people sitting next to me: a dad and his son. I had a good chat with the dad before the show, while the kid, who couldn't have been more than 7-8 years old, mostly chimed in with questions about the old rock stars his dad and I were talking about. I thought, "What a great father-son pair, and how awesome that his dad brought him to this."

    I don't remember what song it was ("She's The One", I think), but it was Clemons' first big solo of the night, and I happened to glance over to the kid, who was sitting between his dad and me, and what I saw was perhaps the biggest smile on any person I'd ever seen in my life. He was getting pure joy out of hearing that sound. The next solo, I looked over again, and the smile, somehow, was even bigger, and again, and again, throughout the show.

    That kid would be 10 or 11 now, and I'd imagine that he's probably pretty crushed by the loss of whom I can only assume was one of his first musical idols, but it's nice to remember that look of pure, unadulterated joy I saw on his face, as well as the guy onstage who clearly brought it out of him.

    Sad, sad times. Nils was played here in Liverpool on the day he had his stroke, and after seeing him, I thought Clarence would be alright but alas, another great band has lost their great saxophonist. I really cant imagine the ESB without him, but like Roi, his music lives on and that is the thing that I'm sure he wanted to be remembered for. R.I.P Clarence
