I was drinking, heavy, one one nite, was mean to my wife, Saw, this, heard this, made me sad, that I was mean to my wife, after hearing this solo, I stopped my drinking, and became, the best husband I could be to my beautiful wife, thanks big guy thanks,,,
I remember the first time I heard this song. I was up at 2 am with an upset stomach from food poisoning. I couldn’t sleep so I turned the tv and for some reason ended up on palladia. This song was on so I half ass listened. It got to the sax solo and it damn near brought me to tears. By far the greatest sax solo ever played. Take that Kenny G.
No one but Clarence Clemons can get this song exactly right . He will always be the Original one and Only. So glad his music will live forever. R. I. P. Clarence Clemons
I was lucky enough to be at record plant when Born to Run was being recorded my friend Jimmy Iovine was the engineer when the sax part was being recorded your body was like Frozen it was something that you never heard before that sounds coming out of a saxophone and so much emotion coming from Clarence you will never hear something like that again from any other sax player I said if I die and go to heaven I don't want to hear any strings or violence as I go through the gates I want to hear the sax of Clarence playing jungleland rest in peace big man miss you sparked my soul that night Larry love
What a great story. You were lucky indeed. Clarence took the sax to places it's never been before and it was and still is magic. Every time I hear Jungleland it puts me at peace and insprires me at the same time.
I Will never Forget you Big man .You're so great and magic.When you play with your saxo with Bruce and thé É street Bannd,I am so happy and I can realy explain my own feelings.God bless you and you stay always in my hart.James from Belgium 🎷🎷🎷
I was in band from 4th grade to 10th grade playing Alto Sax even though I wanted to play Tenor like him. I don’t play anymore but from 4th to 10th I always looked up to him and strived to sound just like him
Can't tell you how this has me in tears every time I hear it, me and my brother pete in Bullwinkles, and all my buddies, last song of the night,every Thursday TIMELESS, & HEART WRENCHING... I miss the big man, and those days, and my brother Pete...
In 1997 my then 13 year old daughter and I played a few songs with Clarence on stage at the Jazz Showcase in West Palm Beach Fla.. We played songs my daughter and I wrote . One of the songs my daughter played lead guitar on . We brought our 4 track cassette recorder so we could have nice memories of playing with The Big Man . After we played, I went to check the recorder and Clarence's publicist came over to us and demanded the cassette . I told the publicist to go tell Clarence we we just want memories of this night and want to hear how we sounded playing music with a person of rock n roll history . She talked with Clarence and came back and said Clarence want's the tape so I took it out of the recorder and snapped the tape in half and went to hand it to her . She said no it's OK just throw it in the trash and I did . When the publicist went to talk with Clarence I switched the tape of the recording and placed a blank cassette in the recorder . The tape I snapped in half was a blank tape and I put the tape with us playing with him in my pocket . Meanwhile Clarence had a cassette tape player he was also recording with ,and they were my songs and he didn't ask permission to record the music my daughter and I wrote . He was a real asshole . It was around the time Bruce was playing solo gigs and Clarence was looking for his own act as Bruce S owned all the royalties to the E Street band 's music . Clarence wanted to be collecting royalties also for old age security .Clarence still had to work for a living to support his lifestyle and was only getting paid $ 3,000 for the gig at the Show Case. A friend of mine at the time also played with Clarence that night and got his phone number and ended up doing some studio work with Clarence for a CD . I heard from another guy who was in the studio , that Clarence would ask my friend often while working in the studio how to get in touch with my daughter and I because we had a long list of original music he liked and wanted to work with us . After the cassette incident , I thought naah it's OK. My daughter's memories could have been a nice night to remember instead it was the memory of a mean spirited dickhead who had his publicist bully us to give up our property ,. Clarence suffered from inflated ego syndrome and surely was a guy who tooted his own horn. .... Karma to ya bro .Karma to us all ! May all who are left on Earth spread kindness and good memories to each other while we are still here , as memories can last a lifetime and will last here for many years after we are gone.
I truly 100% doubt this ever happened. your idiot daughter was so good that a world class performer went out of his way to do all of that and then consistently try to reach out. lmao you are delusional. especially posting now that he's dead and can't even answer whatever schizophrenic group of words you just wrote. find help buddy. your daughter sucks at music and you failed as a dad

I didn't wanna say this anywhere, but the solo's not that good, it's pretty much a solo a middleschooler with great technique would play (articulation, growl, embouchure). Mediocre, it way overkills on repetitiveness, I don't say this because the solo is simplistic, but because it's 3 minutes long. I know whole songs that have more going on in the first 30 seconds then this solo does in 3 minutes. I sound so mean right now, I'm prob gonna regret writing this later, but I want it off my chest
@@cjgreen4331the beauty of the solo does not have to do with it’s complexity (or lack thereof in your opinion). Also I’d love to see the average middle schooler play high D, F and altissimo G as clean as Clarence did with that kind of volume and growl. Not every solo has to be a bunch of 16th notes to be considered amazing.
I’m nobody but I would run into the Big Man Every so often... and he would remember! I just absorbed the Energy that surrounded Him while we spoke. Dude truly took it with Him wherever he went!
15 or 20 yyears ago, i was working as a courier. I was listening to WGR 55 OUTTA BARFALO, NEW YAWK. IT WAS JUST BEFORE TRAINING CAMP OPENED FOR DA BILLS.

The greatest most emotional saxophone solo I've ever had the pleasure of hearing! Thank you big man!!!! Gone way too soon....😢

Wow the power of God/Love through music. Thanks for sharing. Love stories of change like yours.
A quote from another comment on this page, that backs up my initial reaction to your special comment "Your sax was a prayer, Big Man."
Grace of God I've been sober 28 years and 2 months.Clarence Magical on that Sax . So much feeling.
What a good man You make all men give you a kick in the ass and salute you changing
God bless you and keep you, keep going forward being the man and husband that you were suppose to be.
- His soul was in that sound. Clarence, rip.
My son is going to play sax in band. I found this video to show him the highest form of the art.
Check out It makes no difference by the band

Actually Jake Clemons nails it too.. playing his Uncles horn
All I can say is the big man was truly awesome. Rest in peace Clarence your music will be listened to Forever
I always said that seeing and hearing Clarence play was worth the price of admission.
best 3 minute solo on the planet.
Three minutes of musical brilliance.

The chemistry he shared with Bruce on stage was truly amazing. If you saw them together you know exactly what I'm talking about.. RIP Big Man
When I first heard him play I started playing the sax in middle school throughout high school class of 82 RIP.
Right on! U stick with it or get anywhere? Cool!
Me too

The first time I saw Clarence Clemons play the tenor sax, I bought my first Bundy alto sax
anyone who does not like this solo needs medical attention.

@cjgreen4331 thanks for explaining how stupid you are 🙄🙄🙄
Wow; soulfully beautiful sax solo, awesome stuff.
Again, WOW! Truly a master.
2023....these guys were on my bucket list...unfortunately TicketMaster destroyed that dream
I was fortunate enough to see Clarence play that in 2008.
Let’s hope Bruce frequently reminds his loyal band mates that without them he’d be a shadow of the legend that he’s become.
We miss you
happy birthday, C. on this jan. 6, 2024. always with us
Speaks to my inner being. God bless.
Best sax solo of all time. Clarence was a master.
The greatest gift CC ever gave us ❤
I’m glad my parents raised me on Bruce and the e street band.
Big Man Mighty Max and the rest all awesome love this RIP CC
great solo,amazing.....
r.i.p
Just beautiful, he could really make that sax talk, I really miss good music
I would of loved more than anything to be there to witness his greatness.
I’m just so sorry I never got to listen to this live
RIP to the Big Man 🙏🏾❤️
Awwww this is the best
If Adolphe Sax could have listen this one time, it would have bee the greatest honor for his live, more than words could have express!
Miss you Clarence. The best sax player in the world.
I’m nobody but I would run into the Big Man
Every so often... and he would remember!
I just absorbed the Energy that surrounded
Him while we spoke. Dude truly took it with
Him wherever he went!
RIP we miss you
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 INMENSO, siempre eni corazón, y en el de millones de Fans de Bruce 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
A gift to mankind- thanks Clarence
Så otroligt vackert!!!
" Fantastico CLEMONS".👏👏👏🙏🙏
¡Enorme, grandiosa, ...! Me faltan calificativos. Si ha de sonar una canción en mi funeral, quiero que sea ésta
I hope people understand this comment: this is the "Eruption" of saxophone. RIP Big Man! You are my inspiration.
Touches my soul every time.
It attacks the heart and soul, he designed playing like that to appeal to the world
Big Man 4ever
