@gplan372 Yeah, me too - I was living in Scotland then and this song brings back a vivid memory of Aberfoyle in the summer :) What is the lead singer's name - he's great! And oh, that keyboard solo, it just rocks my mind!
This is one of the most uplifting songs ever and never gets played on the radio. Blinded by the Light is the only Manfred Mann Earth Band song that's ever played on the radio and that's because of its Springsteen connection but I feel that this and Davys on the road again are far better tracks.
Thanks! I live in NY now, which I also love; my home town is Glasgow. My sis had her wedding reception at Aberfoyle :)

I slightly remeber this lovely song that makes me think of being a teenager and lovely summer days.

@Jojoseahorse Aberfoyle looks much the same now if it's any comfort, takes me back too.

This was Manfred Mann's progression into the seventies, a rather more commercial take on prog rock that was a big hit in 1973.

It's already been said,but sooo true how this is the best one,yet is often forgotten. A touch of early Genesis and definitely deserves more airplay!

Very underrated classic from the 70s. Never hear it on the radio. Thanks for posting!
