The first live band that I ever saw in 1977. I had only really heard a couple of their tracks previously previous to seeing them. Blinded by the Light was a hit at the time. They opened with 'Waiter there's a yawn in my ear' from the roaring silence. I've never since been to a concert that had such a profound impact on me. It absolutely blew me away. A very, very underrated band.
My favorite album of theirs is The Good Earth. The album came with an application for a deed of one square foot of land on top of a mountain. It's a little hard to find the cd.
Cant believe its Chris Slade (ACDC) on drums!!! WITH HAIR!!! Google the band and you will see all the info you want including @taorob3 The lead singers name

Once the little faggot burns out, hes replaced with another little faggot. on and on it goes, and it fuckin blows!
@Spicypapayas Very true... and the irony of it all is that now the record companies are looking at each other saying " what are we going to do, people are not buying music anymore... what's going on? "..... Well, look around you !! Keep producing "downloading" artists, and that's what you get !... Produce and market "album" artists, and people will start buying whole albums again... and those albums will keep selling for a long long time... not just NOW.
@tomorrowneverknows76 I assume you've never heard of The Flower Kings, Porcupine Tree, The A-sides, Secret Machines, Eskimo Joe, My Morning Jacket, Mogwai, Riverside, The Frost, Thought Chamber, Black Mountain should I go on? There is a TON of quality music out there. You have access to the internet. Open up a Pandora account, type in anyone of these bands, get Realplayer to grab the songs, and there you go.

@Spicypapayas If someone would just invent a way to move digital copies of songs we like onto little hand held devices that we can take around with us, thousands at a time, and an easy way in the comfort of our homes to find good music. And if only the market could make these devices cheaper and cheaper and cheaper.
@QueenCeleste2 ..Hi.. EXACTLY my sentiments. I can close my eyes to this and it paints a vivid picture of what is taking place within the lyrical and melody content of the song.
@SwitchFoot2007 Hi--just listened to Bruce Springsteen's 1973 live version--aside from the lyrics it a completely different song! Just remarkable how Manfred Mann's Earth Band took a good song and made it magical.
I'm as big a Springsteen fan as you'll find, this is great. I love the original, but these guys take it somewhere else. I'm not saying one version is better than the other it depends on your taste. I love the guitars in this
This is the version I first heard. I heard Springsteen's version and in my opinion it is bland compared to this. This definitely has a more rock edge to it, which is why I dig this version. I know the Boss wrote this tune, but I wouldn't have paid attention to it if it wasn't for Manfred Mann's version. Great tune.
@TheWeaponsman ... You're NOT the first person to make this comment and you didn't even do that good of a job covering other people who made this same comment before you. YOU should get no acknowledgement! ;-)
Chris likes to play a small bar in Costa Mesa once or twice a year and I was fortunate to have seen him live and in person not 3 feet from the air I was breathing.
Such an underated band... Nightingales & Bombers - Solar Fire - & The Roaring Silence were just fantastic albums... In my opinion the best Manfred Mann albums!
This version sings the sole and uncertain mist of youth. Bruce wrote it like he was only an observer. Still - both are geniuses. I lived the Manfred Mann version
Stop arguing kids. Springsteen is a genuis when it comes to writing music. This band was very underated when it comes to playing their instruments. This is what classic rock is all about. Not many bands at that time could keep up with them at the ending of this song.
@mlarison85 Yep, starting at about 4:45. This was a very talented band and they "owned" this song. Springsteen is also a very talented performer and writer, but this song was MMEB's time to shine.
@Supertramp1977 dude i just wanna here the studio version, now will you tell me why, when i click on the "studio version" it brought me to a page where there is not one studio version to be had? it's just youtube fucking with me again huh?
ALSO. Bruce did not write NOT ONE song for MANN. Mann had to ask for permission to use The Boss's lyrics. Get it straight. One is a Legend...Bruce. the other (Mann) just copies and tries to put some BS twist on it. Good for Mann, he made millions using someone elses work. Whats Mann's big hit song NOT using Springsteen's lyrics???????????????
The MMEB versions of the 3 Bruce tracks off Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. (being; 'For You', 'Spirit(s) In The Night and 'Blinded By The Light) are all great, don't get me wrong, but they weren't written for MMEB. I'm a huge Springsteen fan, but I also love the covers, just wanted to clarify, I've seen a lot of comments saying Bruce wrote the songs for Manfred Mann's Earth Band... this isn't accurate, they were simply covers.
@lazlocarreidas Far from original though. Only one Boss. Just one more copy he owes to Bruce. Also copied Blinded by the light from Bruce. Mann should have tried to write his own lyrics for once in his life.
@mopardude6969 I wonder how Springsteen, who wrote this, and over 300 other songs, ended up worth nearly half a billion dollars, and Manfred Mann, a cover band, ended up broke?
You should learn the difference between a "cover" and a complete new arranged piece of music like this. MMEB are still touring successfully over Europe. Catch a gig if you have the chance. You won't regret it!
@dykstrark manfred mann kicks springsteen's ass, i mean in the original as in all of his songs he can't sing to the beat AT ALL and it ruins the music. Here that is not the case the music and voice flow together.
@jferkfjkj what rubbish. have you ever seen springsteen perform live ?? and anyway kudos to somebody writes their own music and lyrics and has brought out new albums for thirty seven years.this is a good cover but nothing like the real thing.
@holitipu...Oh, yeah? Well there's something to be said about playing golf and tending gardens! Whereas bruce is washed up and doesn't even have those things! So there!
@ligerhunter5223...Bruce Sucks! Bruce Sucks! Bruce Sucks! Manfred Mann does his songs way better than that little peon ever could! Sorry if the truth hurts!
Okay, obviously no one has ever told you that music is subjective, but considering how much more popular Bruce is compared to Manfred Mann, I'd say that there are more people who agree with me than with you. Calling him a peon is just flat out FUNNY.
@ligerhunter5223 Ok so if music is subjective, why did YOU tell ME to go to hell? Pretty harsh just for stating my opinion~don't you think? Okay, obviously no one has ever told you not to be a DICK! No more of your messages will be read by me so kiss my ass! Ahhhhh..........................I love getting the last word!
@crystalsky84 But what songs would Manfred Mann sing without "that little peon"?? MMEB might be a great cover band but Bruce with his songwriting skills is in a whole other league.
@crystalsky84 Hmm, let me see - Bruce WROTE the lyrics, AND the MUSIC ... who's the genius, genius? I don't recall reading Manfred Man selected to either the Rock & Roll or Songwriter's Hall of Fame... Wouldn't you think creating both the music and lyrics trumps rearranging a song?? Mental midget...
man i wish someone would put a better quality version of this footage on youtube. this kicks ass!!! Love their version of this song!!! Bruce even said himself it was better than his version
rydermoore99 they made these songs better then springsteen ever could... you're just hating and the audio on this is horrid.
saying these guys got no talent is bullshit... these cats had plenty of talent... you ain't no musician and don't know what you're commenting about...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This version absolutely sucks, the meaning behind this song can only be described and sang by Bruce, i mean hes telling a story and these guys ruin it. This band got all of their well known hits from Bruce, they have no originality and talent
I dont know what it is Bruce is liDylan to me Id rather hear someone else cover his songs these guys rocked a long way from do wah diddi diddi dum diddi do huh
I've had the Roaring Silence album for years, its great. It takes me back to those mid 70s. The lyrics were whacked, for sure, but take it for what it was. I wish there was a video of Starbird, the flip side of Blinded...
The first live band that I ever saw in 1977. I had only really heard a couple of their tracks previously previous to seeing them. Blinded by the Light was a hit at the time. They opened with 'Waiter there's a yawn in my ear' from the roaring silence. I've never since been to a concert that had such a profound impact on me. It absolutely blew me away.

If anything, with all the bickering about whose version is the best, it's safe to say that MMEB:
1. Had a real good ear for great songs, even when they were buried in murky production and sometimes with a few bad lines and arrangements.
2. Made these songs their own by not copying records, but writing their own songs around their covers.

No more of your messages will be read by me so kiss my ass! Ahhhhh..........................I love getting the last word!

@crystalsky84 But what songs would Manfred Mann sing without "that little peon"?? MMEB might be a great cover band but Bruce with his songwriting skills is in a whole other league.

@crystalsky84 Hmm, let me see - Bruce WROTE the lyrics, AND the MUSIC ... who's the genius, genius? I don't recall reading Manfred Man selected to either the Rock & Roll or Songwriter's Hall of Fame... Wouldn't you think creating both the music and lyrics trumps rearranging a song?? Mental midget...

@nkkcboss You're absolutely right on the points that you make. He just totally sucks at singing his own songs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK rydermoore99 Jimi Hendrix covered several Bob Dylan songs and bloomed them into his own style. Do you think Jimi had no talent?

rydermoore99 they made these songs better then springsteen ever could... you're just hating and the audio on this is horrid.
saying these guys got no talent is bullshit... these cats had plenty of talent... you ain't no musician and don't know what you're commenting about...

TouchingYou has graced stages all over this country with Haunted Pussy and has forgotten more about music than you'll ever know, IDIOT.
I've heard you are a real lowlife always trying to stir up shit.

This version absolutely sucks, the meaning behind this song can only be described and sang by Bruce, i mean hes telling a story and these guys ruin it. This band got all of their well known hits from Bruce, they have no originality and talent

I've had the Roaring Silence album for years, its great. It takes me back to those mid 70s. The lyrics were whacked, for sure, but take it for what it was. I wish there was a video of Starbird, the flip side of Blinded...
