The Big Man Was Here.

So the sax was on the stage. Clarence was there. It was a moment where Bruce stopped the show and stood in the front rows of the crowd and raised his hands over his head. He was silently asking the crowd to acknowledge Clarence. The crowd cheered and clapped for what must have been three minutes non-stop. It really was a moment. I smiled. Tears went down my face. It was awesome. It really was. Watch this video at the 3:00 minute mark from the Atlanta show and you will get a feel for this...

This picture is one of Jake Clemons, the nephew of Clarence. He did an awesome job. Each time he took the solo the crowd roared.
It was very cool. You could just feel the fans loving every moment and understanding the history of this great band.
