...my worlds collided!
I was on my way to see Furthur when I got a phone call from the editor of Backstreets Magazine. He told me that he had heard that Clarence Clemons was going to sit in with Furthur that night and since I knew the PR person could I see if I could get any photos of Clarence for the magazine. I chuckled and told him the I was presently driving to the venue and was a credentialed photographer for the show. I told him that photos would be sent overnight.
After meeting up with the South Florida Zoner contingent, I did my job and got the photos. As it turned out, this evening was the last public performance by Clarence Clemons. He did a TV taping with Lady Gaga soon after and in a couple of weeks, he was gone. Here are a few of the photos I took that night...

Thank you for that. I can't say that I've ever listened to that show after seeing it live before. The band was on that night.
