Manfred Mann’s Earth Band

In October 1999, when Manfred Mann's Earth Band performed "Redemption Song" on the German TV show *Ohne Filter*, the band was experiencing a period of relative resurgence following their earlier successes. Just prior to this performance, in 1996, they had released the album *Soft Vengeance*, which showcased their versatility and continued appeal in the rock genre. This live recording is significant as it highlights the band's ability to reinterpret classic songs, drawing from their history of covering and transforming popular tracks into their unique sound. By this point in their career, they had developed a reputation not only for their original music but also for thoughtful covers, as seen with their version of Bob Marley's poignant "Redemption Song." The performance in Germany reflects the band's sustained popularity in the European music scene, emphasizing their enduring legacy and adaptability as artists.
