Fans of Bruce Springsteen were heartbroken in 2011, when longtime saxophonist Clarence Clemons passed away after complications from a stroke. Clemons joined The E Street Band in 1972, and remained a vital component of Springsteen’s sound up until his 2011 death. Just a few days ago, Springsteen released a new live album which pays tribute to Clemons’ legacy.
The new album features the saxophonist’s final performance with Bruce and co. Taken from a Buffalo performance on November 22nd, 2009, the newly released audio also features a full performance of Springsteen’s 1973 debut album, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. The 34-song setlist is filled with classics from the Boss’s catalog, including an opener of “Wrecking Ball” and tracks like “Thunder Road”, “Rosalita” and so many more.
The show can be found on Bruce Springsteen’s website, with options to purchase digitally or on CD. Enjoy this powerful performance by following the link here. You can see the setlist below.
