@surfricy Agree with you 100 percent. Melissa Etherige said Springsteen is like, "Shakespeare set to music." Incident on 57th street and Rosilita into NYC seranade is virutoso. I think Bruce and the band has done some other great stuff. His real decline was when he married that hollywood actress. I thought Bruce was completely spent till I saw him in an interview with Charlie Rose and this pumped up Bruce and he came out with The Rising. Don't see how Bru is to tour without Clarence.
I really think it's comparing apples and oranges to be honest. As for Jungleland, Bruce put that solo together after he and Clarence recorded together for about 15 hours.. Clarence never even heard it in its entirety until the record was finished. I shit you not.
@surfricy To call Clarence a "band player" is myopic. Clarence was directly resposible for such music as the sax solo in Jungleland. You do not see this piece of music as sublime? You might be the philistine, only listening to what othere tell you, that Coltrane was the greatest. This is conventional wisdom. Step out of public opinion and into the truth.
@JayGatsbyOdysseus Let's not get carried away. Clarence was a good rock band sax player, with a fat tone, but it is folly to compare him with Bird and Coltrane. They were trying to do different things for sure, but Clarence didn't have the genius of those artists.
@surfricy His writing style changed after the Darkness Album----Greetings ,Wild Innocent, Born Run and Darkness will go down one day as the greatest written and recorded music .
I love this album and this song as much as the next guy, but Born to Run it ain't guys. He got sick of the new Dylan comparisons wanted to move on to something new. There's something to admire about a guy who never stops pushing himself musically and personally, never stops doing something new. He couldn't have made this album again, so he didn't try. He made fucking Jungleland instead. Nothing wrong with that.
This album side is probably rock's greatest achievement. But who knows about it except Rosalita? The segue into that song is just thrilling, then the NYC serenade.... He never reached that peak again, and lot of it IS due to David Sanscious.
