Happy 45th Birthday, and many, many more Happy Birthdays ahead, to Jake Clemons! In a unique, special visual treat for our readers, we're pleased that Jake's camp has allowed us to share the above backstage photo of Jake with The Killers' Brandon Flowers. It was taken on October 1, 2022 at Madison Square Garden NYC, when Jake and Bruce Springsteen joined The Killers onstage for their concert encores, with Jake on sax for "Badlands" and "Born To Run."
As we reported previously, professional recordings from that evening will be released in April as part of Record Store Day 2025, in the form of a limited-edition (only 5000 copies in an "RSD First" pressing) 12-inch vinyl single, containing officially released versions of all three songs performed by The Killers with special guests Bruce Springsteen and Jake Clemons on that night.
SIDE A:
1. "Badlands" (Live)
2. "Dustland" (Live)
SIDE B:
3. "Born To Run" (Live)
But that's not the only officially released recording featuring Jake Clemons coming our way in 2025. Stay tuned for more details as they become available...
Jake also will be performing on April 28 as part of "The Jersey Takeover" at Trombone Shorty's Shorty Fest 2025, and performing with The Jake Clemons Band on July 19 at the Minnesota Yacht Club Festival. Be sure to visit regularly Jake's official website, JakeClemons.com, for all of his latest official announcements and updates.
Happy Birthday, "Jakey!" We're looking forward to catching you in action, with and without the E Street Band, throughout 2025.
