This is one of the greatest intro's Bruce has ever given for "The Big Man" Clarence Clemons. Listen for yourself.

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

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!

- 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.

- 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.

Much love indeed!! A great man & musician! This was very nice to see, thanks for posting this! We got to see Clarance Clemens April 6, 2011 w/ the Furthur @ the Boca show. Magical indeed, & he truly made the show an all time favorite. He's jammed w/ the Dead in the past, but this night was special! He was on sax for "Lil Red Rooster" & man was it amazing. So glad to of seen him one last time. RIP friend!

Wow, what a bizarre and misguided comment, possibly the most 100% wrong kind of assumption I have ever seen in print. I don't exactly know what 'awareness of other human being's school you went to in life but I'd put in an official complaint as they taught you 100% wrongly!
