Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Don't kill it Carol (Live 1979)

[Turmogive]

Just came up with the theory that this song has something to do with Joyce Carol Oates, can anyone confirm or deny? I know little about MMEB, but this strange song has fascinated me since youth.

[Jazzman1985]

Wow, Steve Waller was a beast on stage. It's a pitty that he didn't stay longer in the band.

9 PEOPLE HIT DISLIKE KILLED IT....FUCK THEM!!!!!! MMEB RULES!!

[vokills420]

this is the best live version of this song. love this performance.

[DarthAyreon]

I never imagined this song could be played so energetic! Great video!

[NeilThompson30]

A few references to the 'original' here - the original is on a 1976 album by Heron.

I was a big fan of this group in my younger days. If they only would continue to play like this. I went to a concert with MMEB in Oslo last January - It was a geat disapointment. It was a two hour long guitar masturbation... If they only could stick to versions closer to the originals and this perfomance. The auience was buuuing. (I still love to listen to the albums "Watch" and "Angel station".

MMEB today is to complex for the normal oldie fan.

keep listening the 60 versions- you don't have to understand the new arrangements and the long guitar solos.stay in your 2 minute world, better at home watching TV

[northofthesun]

@nordvikp THAT IS A GREAT TERM IM GOING TO USE TO DESCRIBE A SOLO LASTING WAY TOO LONG "GUITAR MASTURBATION"

[Etadmins]

That's a song I like very much. This live performance is awesome! It's quite different from the original, but still awesome. :)

[uuadafac]

to bad people only know them for Do wah diddy...

[northofthesun]

@uuadafac NOT PEOPLE ON HERE OBVIOUSLY

[Anaconda199]

really nice version. i liked it.

[MazterGuitarz]

You should,

their really a unique group from the 70:s

with songs that are so great!

I think this song and the album Angel Station is one of their best albums ever...

[progster86]

awesome!

[vechernoff]

what's the matter with em?...in hurry to get last train?.. poor Carol... poor rose...

poor me.. since FIVE FACES...

[bikingmadman]

Sorry, big Manfred Mann fan since the 60's, worst version ever - stick to the album version please!

[monkmann]

couldn't disagree more. I've been to nearly 40 concerts of MMEB and I just can say that this band surely rocks the stage. I prefer their live versions much more than the (still great) studio stuff. cheers.

[ReneeNme]

This must be only a partial of the song. Where is the vocoder ? I'm sorry, but I love this album and to reiterate what vechernoff said " Were they in a hurry to catch the last train ?

[brettmann]

great trippy song. dont get the really badly animated superman cartoon though.

this guy must be the reason everyone thinks my last name is jewish...aw dammit

[Godofwrath68]

MMEB rocks!

[sweetjaneb]

GREAT driving song. Used to put the top down on my TR-6, French Blue, and push it to 140mph. LOVE IT.

[oblivionAD]

My God! Dont kill it Carol and a TR6! My two most favorite things! What a trip!

Thanks for reliving my fantasy.....

[sweetjaneb]

lol, you're very welcome... LMFAO. and if the State Troopers were lucky, they saw nothing but what they thought was a blur. :/

[sweetjaneb]

Actually the sucker registered 160mph, but I had just had it tuned up, and had more acceleration to it, so... I did... I pushed the envelope.. so, don't really know/care, how fast I went.

[sunnypedaal]

thank you ! please more

[fritzi753]

The concert on sunday will be great I hope!

[mwbsc]

Awesome, thanks. is there a video clip that was released for that song? Anything else from that great LP?
