Question Springsteen wrote "Summer on Signal Hill", recorded by Clarence Clemons and
the Red Bank Rockers, also by Killer Joe. In the Killer Joe sleevenotes, Max
Weinberg claims that the E Street Band never recorded the song. So, who plays
on the Clarence Clemons version?
Answer For years I was fooled too.
I know John Landau's brother David was in the Rockers, but I am not too familiar with the rest of the lineup. It's hard to believe the E St. Band did not play on it. It's so good, and it really sounds like them. Which makes sense, b/c Bruce did write it, but even when you pass a piece of music on, the receiving band's version always sound different.
