I can still remember the day I bought this album right after it was released, and dropped the needle in the groove. I was 17 years old and the future looked bright as hell. Little did we know how it was really going to be...
Man, back when I was 17 the future was so bright I had to wear shades (yeah-cheesy reference). These days, man... It's music like this that keeps me going. Because it's a messed up crapshot.
Well, the future was never that bright, but it was certainly brighter then than now... And these guys, Manfred Mann, Billy Joel etc, after the Beatles and the Stones, gave us hope. They lifted mountains - now flattened and hopeless, I agree.
There was so much excellent Pop Music around in 1978 and 79. This here is one of the best examples - I was 14 then and got caught from the first note. We had Sniff'n' the Tears ("Driver's seat"), we had Christopher Cross ("Ride like the wind"), we had Peter Gabriel and Alan Parson's to dance to, we had Tangerine Dreams's "Cloudburst Flight", we had the second wave of British metal. It was such a privilege to grow up in this era - this sort of Music has become a lost art.
Without being nostalgic - because time inevitably passes - I agree with you, and I see in the revival of many songs from this era the proof that many young people recognize this golden age. Which doesn't exclude the value of today's music, of course.
I was on the rare occasion to be in a bar with 3 other sound engineers plus myself and asked everyone to write down on a cocktail napkin what they all thought was the best live recording and we all 4 agreed that this was it ! No need to say anything else. Chet the chicken man / soundman 🐓🎼
@@chetutterback5811 Well, they would be the best critics. But yes, Manfred Mann was certainly on top of his music knowledge. My favorite album of his came out in 1979 my senior year in high school (Angel Station) another work of art.
I agree in 2/3. In my opinion, the interlude from 2:15 to 4:57 totally ruined the masterpiece. Makes in just insufferable. But I fixed it my own way by simply cutting out those 2:42 of jazzy crap. ;)
@@toreeriksson6117 I have to strongly oppose your opinion, this middle part is the best of it, sounding similiar to Deep Purple (being meant as a quality mark)
Some tunes are so well written and performed they become legendary, anthems of an era, eternal reflections of divine providence, or simply put ... awesome. This is one of those tunes. It will live forever. While all the B tracks fade to dust the classics bear the torch of the greatest musicality known to humanity.
Great album, yes, and a scathing, hair-raising version of Dylan's Mighty Quinn - and at the same time completely faithful to the original, how does he do it? No matter: the best of M.M's Earth band is here!
EPIC, Especially the intermezzo, midplay, 2.15 - 5.00. I was just a little child first time I heard it, and I was 'blown away' and at some point it was as if I had an OBE.
Everybody's building ships and boats Some are building monuments Others jotting down notes Everybody's in despair Every girl and boy But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here Everybody's gonna jump for joy Come all without, come all within You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn Come all without, come all within You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn Let me do what I wanna do, I like my sugar sweet But jumping queues and making haste It ain't my cup of meat Everyone's beneath the trees feeding pigeons on a limb But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here All the pigeons gonna run to him Come all without, come all within You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn Come all without, come all within You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn Let me do what I wanna do, I like my sugar sweet But jumping queues and making haste Ain't my cup of meat Nobody can get no sleep, there's someone on everyone's toes But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here Everybody's gonna want to doze Come all without, come all within You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn Come all without, come all within You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn [repeat to fade]
Nope, it's still Manfred Mann. Just a re-imagined version of the late 60s original. Like buddy said, if you want the original just search up the Manfred Mann version without the "Earth Band" (Chris Thompson is singing this version, the original was Manfred Mann himself)
Still MisInformed... Bob Dylan would be the Original singer...AND the Origin of the Song itself, Not Manfred, who did the song Entirely Better than Robert Allen (Zimmerman) Dylan
Chris Thompson you legend!
Love this version of Mighty Quinn.....better than the other.....but with the same group! God bless you!
Such a classic rock song. It's 2023, an' I am still getting down to Quinn the Eskimo.
Me too ❤
"Mighty Quinn" - the most appropriate "mighty" version of the SONG!!!
Je suis d'accord
Manfred Mann's Earth Band.
Thanx for all.
This version of the song gives me a vibe that I can't find or articulate anywhere else. It's like everything is clear, calm and happy.

Youll not see nothin like the mighty quin.

God bless Manfred Manns Earthband in their coming music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best version!❤
By far 👍.
Great music!
Best music ever
I have waiting for this version for a long time 🎉 super
This probably is the best version of a live recording. Great stuff

El mejor y acertado comentario
Not probably, this, of all of the versions that I've heard is "definitely " the best by far (in my opinion of course) .
👍👍
This is a classic! Organ intro, heavy guitar riffs, and crazy synth interlude in the middle
yes 3'22" :)

Great album. Grew up listening to this classic everynow and then. This kind of music lives from generation to generation.

there are No B tracks on this Entire lp however...
He was on his game.
This is one of the best albums ever
Мастера высшего пилотажа сваяли этот шедевр!
Thanks from Bosnia and Herzegovina...had this lp few decades ago. Iconic.

I remember the Greatest Hits album I got at Barnes and Noble’s when I was like 6-7.
since i was 7years old i listen to that song i just love it
J'avais 18 ans en 78.... cet album je l'ai racheté depuis en cd, il est génial, je dois encore l'écouter deux ou trois fois par mois...excellent.
detrier hervé
Vous avez 57 ans.
idem Hervé !! sans oublier The roaring silence et Angel station….
Thanks from Germany 🇩🇪🎹🎤🎵
Yeah that live version from Budapest is one of the great recordings of this song.
This rocks, far better than the single version.
Not at all.
Great track from a great album - particularly the track called California.
Simply perfect.
Love this song so much
EPIC, Especially the intermezzo, midplay, 2.15 - 5.00.
I was just a little child first time I heard it, and I was 'blown away' and at some point it was as if I had an OBE.
Fantastic version. Saw the band a couple of years ago. They are still playing this number
I also love the cover of the album - so symbolic. Man on the runway going to take off.
Thank you :)
Schöne Jugend kommt leider nicht mehr zurück.
absolutely Mantastic love MMEB especially with Chris on vocals
I was today old when I learned Manford Mann and, later MM and the Roaring Earth Band, did this song!! 😮🙂
How often do you get to hear this level of musicianship in today's music?
Insanely great
Danke, Manni!
This is great music!
What a song! PERFECT!
Best Version ever

whoa!! (just, that!!) :)
Everybody's building ships and boats
Some are building monuments
Others jotting down notes
Everybody's in despair
Every girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody's gonna jump for joy
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Let me do what I wanna do, I like my sugar sweet
But jumping queues and making haste
It ain't my cup of meat
Everyone's beneath the trees feeding pigeons on a limb
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
All the pigeons gonna run to him
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Let me do what I wanna do, I like my sugar sweet
But jumping queues and making haste
Ain't my cup of meat
Nobody can get no sleep, there's someone on everyone's toes
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody's gonna want to doze
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
[repeat to fade]
BMA B - actually it is “cup of mead” not meat! :)

Есть такой диск.. ❤
I'm sure I heard Mighty Queen in 1969
You are right, the first version with a different singer
Mighty Quinn
In 1969 it was Manfred Mann without the Earth Band!
And the original is from Bob Dylan 🙂
@@asiakia1 I know all that
Didn't you knows that I have the version
La versione italiana dei Dik Dik si intitola "L'esquimese"
!!!
S R.HAMBURG
I like my sugar salty ;)
Eeeee
die 1968 Version finde ich besser
Wrong Band need original singer please.
It's "Manfred Mann" (without the Earth Band) second video if you search "Mighty Quinn Manfred Mann"
Nope, it's still Manfred Mann. Just a re-imagined version of the late 60s original. Like buddy said, if you want the original just search up the Manfred Mann version without the "Earth Band"

Still MisInformed... Bob Dylan would be the Original singer...AND the Origin of the Song itself, Not Manfred, who did the song Entirely Better than Robert Allen (Zimmerman) Dylan
RedLink27 I believe that Mike D’Abo sang the original Manfred Mann version.
@@rchoquette2975 Manfred Mann never sang this song, hé is the keyboardplayer…
