Manfred Mann’s Earth Band

In January 1983, during their European tour, Manfred Mann's Earth Band performed a live recording of "Mighty Quinn" in Budapest, Hungary. At this point in their career, the band had recently released the album "Somewhere in Africa" in 1983, which integrated influences from African music and showcased their evolving sound. The band was in a phase of reinvention, following their successful earlier works that included hits like "Blinded by the Light." The live performance captured the energy and dynamism of their concerts during this era, reflecting their ability to blend rock with various musical styles. Notably, Manfred Mann was known for his innovative arrangement of popular songs, and "Mighty Quinn," originally written by Bob Dylan, became one of their signature tracks, further solidifying their place in the music landscape of the early 1980s.
