The newest release from Bruce Springsteen<\/a>\u2019s monthly concert download series is a gig he played with the E Street Band in Gothenburg, Sweden, on July 28th, 2012. <\/a><\/p>\n

It was a special, rain-soaked show that featured tour premieres of \u201cLost in the Flood,\u201d \u201cFrankie,\u201d \u201cWhere the Bands Are\u201d and \u201cJungleland.\u201d<\/p>\n

The emotional highpoint of the evening was \u201cJungleland.\u201d It hadn\u2019t been played since Clarence Clemons died the previous year and many fans presumed it was the one song that would never be done without him. \u201cAs you know, Clarence was a special part of Sweden,\u201d Springsteen told the crowd prior to playing it. \u201cThis was a very special place for him. And so tonight\u2026we haven\u2019t done this one in a long time and we haven\u2019t practiced it. So this is for the Big Man.\u201d<\/p>\n

This was yet another high-profile test for Jake Clemons, nephew of the late E Street Band saxophonist. He joined the group earlier that year as part of a five-piece horn section, but he alone played Clarence\u2019s iconic parts on songs like \u201cBorn to Run,\u201d \u201cBadlands\u201d and \u201cDancing in the Dark.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first gig took place at New York\u2019s Apollo Theater and was broadcast on SiriusXM radio. He was note-perfect that night, but now he was called upon to play the longest sax part that Clarence ever recorded in the E Street Band, unrehearsed, in front of a capacity crowd at a Swedish soccer stadium.<\/p>\n
