I was sad to hear that Danny Federici died. He was the organ player in the E-Street Band from the very beginning. The glockenspiel sound on all those early songs, was all him! I feel fortunate to have seen them play back in November right before he left the band because he was ill. I watch videos of the early days of the band and they were simply incredible and a inspiration.
Here's a clip from that Boston show which was his last before leaving the tour.

Re: Danny Federici dies at 58
I heard this on the news when I was driving home from a gig last night. I had heard he was ill, and I hoped that he could have beat it. What sad news. Gonna listen to Born to Run today and tip my hat to Danny.
