On This Day, July 17, 2011: Bruce Springsteen honors Clarence Clemons at New Jersey show

On This Day, July 17, 2011 ...
At Asbury Park, New Jersey’s Wonder Bar, Bruce Springsteen made a surprise appearance for a tribute to his late friend and E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons, who had passed away in June of that year.
The 45-minute set for 400 fans included soul classics as well as “Savin’ Up,” which Bruce wrote for Clemons’ 1983 album with the Red Bank Rockers.
Clemons was a member of Bruce’s E Street Band from 1974 until his passing in 2011 at the age of 69. He was posthumously inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the E Street Band in 2014.
In 2012, Springsteen chose Clarence’s nephew Jake Clemons to be the new E Street Band saxophonist. He has performed with them ever since and is currently on tour with Bruce in Europe.
