Clarence Clemons
Tenor Sax Solo on
Out in the Street

About

Clarence Clemons's tenor saxophone solo on "Out in the Street" is the only solo on this exuberant anthem from The River. Playing at 144 BPM in A, Clemons delivers an energetic, jubilant solo that matches the song's celebration of the liberating power of music and the weekend escape from the workweek grind. His big, full-bodied tone and direct melodic approach perfectly capture the fist-pumping, communal spirit that makes this track one of the most uplifting moments on the double album.

Clarence Clemons was 37 to 38 years old at the time.
