3 stars Here's another live album from Manfed mann's Earth Band, this one is recorded in 1977. The sound quality is inferior to "Budapest live" but the band sounds far more interesting! One of the trademarks from MMEB were the instrumental jams, so catchy and powerful featuring excellent, very propulsive interplay and fiery electric guitar soli and sensational Minomoog runs along powerful vocals and a dynamic rhythm-section.

One of the highlights is the epic "Father of day, father of night", one of the most compelling tracks ever made by MMEB, this rendition includes splendid wah-wah drenched guitarwork that can also be heard on "Blinded by the lights". The final song "The mighty Quinn" features again a fiery wah-wah drenched guitar solo, a propulsive rhytm-section and, last but not least, Mr. Manfred Mann delivering mindblowing sounds from his Minimoog! The final part of this song delivers the typical MMEB: propulsive and exciting with lots of great soli on keyboards and guitar.

THIS IS A PLEASANT LIVE ALBUM!!
