A memorial service for Clarence Clemons, saxophonist for Bruce Springsteen’s E Street band, is under way at the Royal Poinciana Chapel.

Mr. Clemons, a resident of Singer Island, died Saturday from complications of a stroke he suffered a week earlier. He was 69.

The private, by-invitation service for 200 family members and close friends was scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.

Expected to attend are Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, and current and former members of the E Street Band.

Springsteen will give the eulogy for Mr. Clemons, his friend of nearly 40 years.

“Clarence lived a wonderful life,” Springsteen wrote in a statement on his website. “He carried within him a love of people that made them love him. He created a wondrous and extended family. He loved the saxophone, loved our fans and gave everything he had every night he stepped on stage, His loss is immeasurable.”

Springsteen, Browne and the band members will perform the musical parts of the service.

A private reception will follow.

Clemons, nicknamed ‘The Big Man’ because of his 6-foot-6 frame, was born Jan. 11, 1942, in Norfolk, Va., the grandson of a minister.

In addition to the E Street Band, Mr. Clemons performed with the Grateful Dead, the Jerry Garcia Band, Ringo Starr’s All Star Band, Aretha Franklin, Roy Orbison and Jackson Browne.

He also had his own band called the Temple of Soul.

He is survived by four sons and his fifth wife, Victoria.

“When the Boss calls you got to go!”

There’s still no word about Springsteen’s next project, though rumors started flying last week when former Pearl Jam drummer Matt Chamberlain Tweeted: “When the Boss calls you got to go!” and “Today I’m headed out to NJ to record with that guy from there, so excited.” Shortly after the news started ricocheting through Springsteen fan forums, Chamberlain’s Twitter account was taken down. As Backstreets points out, Chamberlain is the go-to drummer for producer Ron Aniello, who frequently works with Springsteen’s Patti Scialfa. The sessions may have been for her new charity single “Children’s Song,” but it’s impossible to know for sure.

Bruce Springsteen Jams at Wonder bar Saturday April 2nd 2011

WOW.

Bruce Springsteen takes the lead vocals on C.C. Rider and What’s Your Name backed by a few musicians responsible for the West Side Asbury Park sound and a couple of familiar faces in Vini Lopez and Ed Manion. Noticed SSJ exit moments before this group took the stage. Hoping all’s well with Johnny.

You Tube offers a pull down menu which allows for higher quality HD.

Enjoy.Springsteen has been around many venues in Asbury Park the past couple of weeks, including a visit to the legendary Upstage Club.

This was Bruce’s first performance ever at the Wonder Bar in Asbury Park NJ

Bruce Springsteen at the Wonderbar in Asbury Park last night,  March 25 2011 He stayed off to the side was enjoying the music , but He really could not see the band and therefore most of the crowd of 150 in the bar could not see him. I took this photo as He left at the end of the night. not wanting to interfere with his fun . His brother inlaws band was playing Timepiece they are very  very good, nice range of music from Bruce to Pink Foyd was played ..of corse they played the Bruce tunes early before he got there.

Belmar Days .. the song Bruce Springsteen

0 Belmar Days .. the song Bruce Springsteen

I had a friend was a big bouncer
Back in college days
He could throw a drunk by you
Make you look like a fool boy
Saw him the other night at this roadside bar
I was walking in, he was walking out
We went back inside sat down had a few drinks
But all he kept talking about was

Belmar days well they’ll pass you by
Belmar days in the wink of a young girl’s eye
Belmar days, Belmar days

Well there’s a bartender that lives up the block
Back in Djais she could turn all the boy’s heads
Sometimes on a friday i’ll stop by
And have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed
Her and her husband bobby well they split up
I guess it’s two years gone by now
We just sit around talking about the old times,
She says when she feels like crying
She starts laughing thinking about

Belmar days well they’ll pass you by
Belmar days in the wink of a young girl’s eye
Belmar days, Belmar days

My old man worked 20 years on the line
And they let him go
Now everywhere he goes out looking for work
They just tell him that he’s too old
I was 9 nine years old and he was working at the
Metuchen ford plant assembly line
Now he just sits on a stool down at the legion hall
But i can tell what’s on his mind

Belmar days yeah goin back
Belmar days aw he ain’t never had
Belmar days, Belmar days

Now i think i’m going down to the well tonight
And i’m going to drink till i get my fill
And i hope when i get old i don’t sit around thinking about it
But i probably will
Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture
A little of the Belmar of, well time slips away
And leaves you with nothing mister but
Boring stories of Belmar days

Chorus (repeat twice)

Assorted all rights, oh yeahs, come on nows, hoots, etc til fade

work in progress
