I liked Clemons but this intro is copycat shlock shit. Piece of imitation crap. But I liked Clemons, just not the insincere intro.

@MsPsycho29 - I don't delete comments, just wanted to say I respectfully disagree.

@dukestreetking75 Re: MsPsycho29: I had to laugh when I read the word "insincere"... There's nothing insincere about Bruce, and anyone who knows anything, would know that. Sorry MsPsycho, but your name fits your comment!

[dukestreetking75]

@sudosurfer - I agree with you one hundred percent. Your comment is what the majority know to be true. As you saw, I don't delete comments and your response to her was the reason why.

Thanks for taking the time to publicly "correct" her.

What song is that the beginning off ???

[dukestreetking75]

@Daddyolsen - It is during the middle of "Mary's Place" from October 27, 2002 in London's Wembley Arena.

@BananaSeppia - Here is what Bruce is saying as he introduces Clarence:

And last but not least, I want to say London is finally ready for - the Minister of Soul, Secretary of the Brotherhood, probably the next King of England ... Give me a C-L-A-R-E-N-C-E ... what's that spell? ... what's that spell? ... what's that spell? ... I have seen the future of the whole fucking thing and it is Big Man Clarence Clemons - right on brother man, yes it is.

@MsPsycho29 springsteen's whole thing is his "sincerity" which would ring true if he didn't repeat it word for word every night changing only the name of the city, might go down great with american fans but you'd think he'd makes his adlibs a wee bit spontanious sometimes ? BUT, when it comes to bandmembers & the big man in particular ? then it was sincere, you can't work with someone for 35 years & not love them like a brother, i'll miss Clarence at IOW 2012 won't be the same. RIP

I lived in Boston in the '70's. At the time that historic city was torn by racial strife as people were struggling with school bussing as a solution for achieving de-facto integration. During that time Born To Run was released. Art doesn't seem to get much credit from newsmakers, reporters and politicians, but it seems to me that Clarence and his saxophone woke up a lot of hearts, and did as much, as anyone to promote true harmony. Brilliant. Thank you, Clarence. What is remembered lives.
