DARKNESS: Danny Federici -- organist, accordion player and longest-serving member of the E Street Band -- has died at the age of 58 from skin cancer. In his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction speech, Springteen described Federici as "the most instinctive and natural musician I ever met," adding, "Your organ and accordion playing brought the boardwalks of Central and South Jersey alive in my music."
After taking a leave of absence from the band for treatment in November, Federici rejoined them one last time in Indianapolis last month. From that show, here's "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)".
