Manfred Mann’s Earth Band

In October 1999, when Manfred Mann’s Earth Band performed "Blinded By The Light" on the German TV show Ohne Filter, they were riding on the legacy of their earlier successes while continuing to produce new music. Leading up to this live recording, the band had released their album "Atom Heart Father" in 1998, which showcased a mix of rock and progressive elements typical of their style. By this point in their career, the band's lineup had seen various changes, and they were well-established in the music scene, noted for their innovative covers and original compositions. It's noteworthy that "Blinded By The Light," originally written by Bruce Springsteen, became one of their most famous hits, marking a significant milestone in their history. This live performance showcases their enduring talent and ability to engage with audiences even as they moved into the later stages of their long career.
