He was a b...Yes...I was, too, re Clarence Clemons. He was a big man. His thighs were massive! <br /><br />The night we saw Springsteen and the E Street Band in concert it was raining...and Springsteen yelled out to the crowd: "If you're standing there in the rain to see us, we'll play for you in the rain!"<br /><br />And at that he ran along the long catwalk that was built out into the centre of the crowd (it was an outdoor arena)...and Clemons followed, playing the sax all the way...how they didn't slip over, I don't know. But play they did...for well over 3 hours, to an adoring crowd. <br /><br />My husband and I were lucky...we were up in the side stands, undercover. We were living up the coast at the time at Sunshine Beach and we'd driven down to the city to be there. We got there early, long before the gates opened, but we were amongst the first through the gates when they were opened!<br /><br />At the time it was the largest rock concert in Queensland history...45,000 fans turned out for Springsteen that night. It even beat Springsteen's previous best crowd of 39,000 in New York! So that was a pretty good effort by us Queenslanders from Down Under!<br /><br />80 shuttle buses were organised to ferry people from the CBD as well as from a major suburban shopping centre to the venue. The stadium where it was held had been built for the 1982 Commonwealth Games. <br /><br />It was 31st March, 1985 (29 years ago as I write). Wow! Where have those years gone? I remember the concert vividly.<br /><br />You probably weren't looking for such a long story from me, Jerry...but coincidentally there was an article in yesterday's paper about that particular concert (no doubt because of the date - it's anniversary)...and I'd only just mentioned it to you the other day...so I thought I'd expand on my reminiscences a little! ;)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-44437322603488634942014-03-28T19:43:04.081-05:002014-03-28T19:43:04.081-05:00Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Lee!!! Whoa...Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Lee!!! Whoa, it looks like he is going to be very busy boy this year.
