Watch Bruce Springsteen perform with Clarence Clemons for the last time: 'Blue Christmas'
, the E Street Band’s saxophonist. Clemons died in of complications resulting from a stoke in 2011.
The last song the band played was “Blue Christmas” — a sad tune about missing your loved ones at Christmas. Clemons had to sit throughout the show and had been in intense pain for the past few years, but he still played his heart out and gave the performance his all. Appropriately enough, it took place just a couple blocks away from the former location of the Student Prince, which was the bar where Springsteen and Clemons first met 40 years earlier.
On the whole, the show was unlike any in Springsteen history, since it focused nearly entirely on tunes cut from, many of which had never been played live. The E Street Band was joined by guitarist David Lindley and a horn section. A professional camera crew lead by director Thom Zimny shot the entire show, and Springsteen played many of the songs two or even three times to capture the best take.
This rendition of “Blue Christmas” wasn’t, however, the last time that Clarence Clemons played in public. That took place during thefinale in May 2011 when he played “Edge of Glory” with Lady Gaga. She called him to New York to play onwith little notice months earlier when she had a couple of songs that needed sax parts.
