Yep, and the fact that he also plays guitar as well as he does (especially considering the standards of the day) almost feels unfair. The 70s and 80s had so much talent.
Version live incroyable avec notamment un super solo de guitare 🎸🎸🎸 de Chris Thomsom. En studio c'est déjà une tres bonne chanson mais en live une merveille ! A fan from France
Interesting...hadn't seen this performance. Great tune and a nice change up on the normal MMEB arrangement. And damn, does Chris Thompson have voice made for rock!
Bloody hell, I knew Chris was one of the all time great lead vocalists, I did not realize he was also a sh!t hot lead player (I thought he was just the rhythm guitarist).
Oui et comme souvent MM transforme beaucoup le morceau à sa sauce. En tous cas ce morceau est remarquable en studio et un régal en live, avec un surprenant solo de guitare 🎸🎸🎸
Can anybody identify Manfred's guitar rig? I see a Minimoog Model D, a Yamaha CP70, and maybe a Korg CX-3. What's the bright box left of the Minimoog? What's the keyboard on the left where the Melotron and Rhodes sounds come from?
The box to the left of the Minimoog is an Oberheim expander, which ended up with my friend Roy Weard who was one of the crew and did the robot mime at the top of Blinded By The Light
The whole song has been dumbed down since the 90s. First it became a ballad and now it's just a shell of its former self :-( Nothing compared to the original dynamic arrangement
This is live..... real musicians ... real music...................... talent rules!!!
and the Awesome singer throws in a Guitar Solo!!
To think that Manfred Man has been around since the 60's .. he is Phenomenal .. and gets no credit... a real rock star!! It's the fucker on the Keys!
correction....... Manfred Mann
We just had such amazing music in the 80s. I sure miss it.
Thank god for RUclips..
It‘s easy to get back! Just listen 😘
Whenever I hear this song, tears fill my eyes...I miss my love! Rest in Peace, my love
Me too. I can definitely relate, my friend.
As well.
Looked for a past soul mate hoping to chat, instead, I found her obituary.
Devastating.
I was born that year. Great sound
No Lyric monitor, pitch control, crazy lights or videos, sequencers or loops. Bunch of great musicians laying it down. We grew up with the best music.
Only good musicians.
I saw Chris Thompson last weekend in Wilhelmshaven. He is still magic!
......NO 'stumblin' in' for HIM ; )
Wow. What a performance. His voice is amazing live
This is SO MUCH BETTER than the studio recording.
I thought like you.
The lead guitar line...
IKR
The great ones make it look so easy.
The ending is fucking solid
Great vocal power
Or rather better than the Bruce Springsteen version.
One of the best Keyboarder of all times
They were such a phenomenal good live band
Best live performance ever...
what a masterpiece... and live... 👍😎🙌
What a fantastic voice - absolutely divine!

Very beautiful song. I can feel the beautiful emotion.
Interesting...hadn't seen this performance. Great tune and a nice change up on the normal MMEB arrangement. And damn, does Chris Thompson have voice made for rock!
For all it's problems l would go back to the 80's in a flash.
Chris Thompson is like Christopher Cross -- behind an angelic voice lurks a guitar monster.
Für mich mit einer der Besten Alben der Welt...
👍🙏👍
......WOWwowwowWOWza - that's just a MINDBLOWING live take.....
THIS IS FOR ME THE BEST VERSION OF ALL SINGERS IN THE WORLD ...
Definitely. Chris Thompson's voice is phenominal.
pretty amazing for sure
Nice piano intro, a well put together song covering Bruce Springsteen original
CRIS THOMPSOM YOU ARE THE REAL VOICE THIS BAND
Brilliant
What a fantastic Guitar Solo
Was gonna say that but you did first :)
Yup!
His guitar playing gets overshadowed by his terrific voice but you really hear what a great lead guitar player he is here.
totally agree
Chris doesn't think he's a good instrumentalist. Go figure 🤔
Наверное, лучшая группа на свете! Слушаю их с 1980 г.
A great rendition of this song!
I miss my dad playing this 😢
80's Gold
amazing song. cosmic sounds.
Oh this just kills me, eyes full of tears. Everytime they came to Brighton UK I was there !!!! ❤ (& I’m a folk singer)
Absolutely Mantastic love MMEB
What a great memory for me. I saw the show on 12. March 1983 in Cologne (Sporthalle). Special guest on this concert: Vitesse.
Didn’t know Chris Thomson was such a great guitarist.
I had never realized he was the singer (all along) on this one either. I even HAVE this CD and it says it right there. Doh!
I know this song is not about death or the Grim Reaper but for me it is.
Absolutely amazing!
Stunning CP-80, CX-3 and Minimoog...and of course, the FineTune just like mine...¡¡¡ NICE...
What was it about Budapest bringing out masterpiece performances.
Headlining after the Puppet show
Tell you from experience: nothing hypes you up as much as a bunch of wild magyars partying to your tunes, they're the best :D
Balls Balls Balls!
Such a great band..
omg i love manfred :) lisen to him for over 40 yr !
Fantastic!!!
Vocals. Vocals. 👏👏👏
Крис Томсон самый лучший вокал Манфреда был!
Узнаваемый на раз.
И как то подходил к звучанию группы
Сахалин до сих пор подслушивает и восхищается!
Мастерство исполнение высшее!!!!
God bless you Mary.See you when I get there.!
Of course written by the Greatest ever mr Bruce Springsteen
Musica linda adoro!♡
Beautiful..
My favourite one nowadays
I think this song is actually the best one of the Earth Band’s Springsteen covers.
Чудо какое-то ,во Будапешту подвалило!
I like it
Bloody hell, I knew Chris was one of the all time great lead vocalists, I did not realize he was also a sh!t hot lead player (I thought he was just the rhythm guitarist).
Chris thompson.Manfred on keys.
Вещь ! 👍✌👍✌👍✌⭐⭐⭐
This is the the real deal
Unübertroffen....
Can someone remaster this version? The tone is like listening to mono
Une nouvelle reprise de Springsteen par M.Mann ! Excellente !
Ah bon ?
Oui et comme souvent MM transforme beaucoup le morceau à sa sauce.
En tous cas ce morceau est remarquable en studio et un régal en live, avec un surprenant solo de guitare 🎸🎸🎸
Клевая тема!
The drums are upfront

@@wrekker69 that your friend's name is Roy Weard is as cool as him being crew for Captain Manntastic 😎
2:54
sad day when chris left the earthband, Noel McCalla was last great singer fronting them
Nice guitarsolo.. Why only in this old live version?
Cool isnt it! I like the one over the record too but it's over different chords and i think it was trevor rabin... Chris solo is much more gutsy
shame about the bad edit near the end of it though.

Концертне звучання навіть крутіше за студійне!
!!)))
When you have to plow your fields at 7 and play keyboards at 8
We can't all be wealthy industrialists.
@@daviderickson9445 Or bicyclists......lol
Hilarious
I like the studio version a lot better
okay lol
He’s no Mick Rodgers.
