(been holding onto this post for a bit. started before the man himself passed away, but only made all the more awesome since. definitely a worthy tribute.)
Okay, so I came across this from one of those "You'll Never Believe What Happens Next!!!!!!!11111!!!11" posts, and though I wasn't rendered "speechless", I thought it was pretty cool. Bruce and the boys take an unfamiliar song request from the audience (a very large one, mind you), spend a couple minutes hammering out the specifics, then proceed to play it in front of a crowded stadium. Well played, Bruce.

I enjoyed this.
That's awesome!
When I saw Bruce, they played a request of a Clarence Clemons solo song from the 80s. The song sucked but it was fun to see Bruce walk through it with horn players that weren't even born when it was released.
