    Like others, I had no idea he was 69 years old. Didn't look that old, and his musical playing abilities sure didn't sound that old.

    RIP to a musical genius.

    He was the E-Street Band! His horn took Bruce over the top IMO!

    concert version of 'if i should fall behind' on now. touching with members of banc singing lines in turn at end, with clarence last -- after a brief sax solo. 'there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead...'

    oh, guess they played the entire show -- the 'live at msg, 2000' dvd. hopefully barcelona (post-9/11 'rising tour') next? it'd be super to get it dvr'd.

    BINGO!!! terrible way to get this in my dvr catalogue, though.

    Many of Clarence's musical high points have been mentioned here and I will add a few others that drifted over the iPod in the last day or two:

    "Sherry Darling" and "Paradise By the 'C'' and I don't know how anyone who ever heard it could forget how Clarence's sax powered the E Streeters' epic cover of Gary U.S. Bonds's "Quarter To three".

    Just listened to The Punk Meets the Godfather (the Bottom Line show on WNEW-FM) with Bruce doing the E Street Shuffle story. Awesome.

    A nice piece from David Remnick in the New Yorker. http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/newsdesk/2011/06/bloodbrother-clarence-clemons-1942-2011.html

    Backstreets has some fantastic stuff on the front page in terms of tributes.
