Review

"Clemons imparts a warm, Indian summer feeling that deftly accompanies his rollicking reminiscences, making this a must for the legion of fans that he and the Boss have accumulated over the decades."

Publisher's note

The E Street Band member describes remarkable stories of adventures shared with Bruce Springsteen and their fellow performers as well as when the author was on his own, describing bizarre encounters, inspirational moments, and acts of kindness that inspired popular songs.

Truth is, Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band have been written about in books and magazines every way imaginable for over three decades. So...
Clarence "Big Man" Clemons, the group's longtime saxophone player, and his best friend Don Reo set out to write a new kind of book--one that isn't the same old story; one that pushes the genre into new territory. One that tells truly remarkable unknown stories all the way from Clarence's childhood through the rise of the E-Street Band from the 1970's to today, as well as captures Clarence's larger-than-life storyteller persona in a series of hybrid fact-and-fiction stories called "Legends."
Here are just a few things you'll learn from reading it:


  • The amazing story behind the final hours of making "Born To Run
    "
  • The real story of how the E-Street Band got its name
  • What happened when Clarence and Ringo Starr were sitting in a hotel room and Clarence gets the call that Bruce is breaking up the band
  • How Bruce and Clarence met that dark, stormy night at the Student Prince
  • The E-Street band's show at Sing-Sing prison where all of their equipment blows out right as they take the stage
  • The secret that Robert De Niro told Clarence and Bruce they had to keep for 25 years
This is not your average rock book. It is something creative, something unique, something new. It is the story of E-Street. It is the story of stories. It is the story of the Big Man.

Annotation

As the story goes, Clarence "Big Man" Clemons met Bruce Springsteen on a rainy New Jersey night in 1971. This and other E Street Band legends-- many of which evolved over years of stage banter and touring, others of which receive their first public unveiling here--form the heart of this juicy and fun memoir. Understanding that in rock music history the truth sometimes becomes inextricably wound together with myth, Clemons and his buddy Don Reo tell the behind-the-scenes stories of Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band with a perfectly honest mixture of fact and fiction.
