@johncaccioppo11423 жыл бұрын
@@sandyquilty3138 The album version is the best, imo, I've heard several versions including one's that look like album versions on KZbin that aren't. The elements that were added, like backing vocals, a vocal intro and shoddy synth solo ruined an otherwise perfect original recording. For that matter, the entire album Chance is truly an unprecedented musical accomplishment and ushered in a sound that defined much of what bands for the rest of the 80s had to strive to approximate, thanks, I believe, much to the hard work of producer Trevor Rabin. As far as I can tell, no other Manfred Mann album comes even close to what this album achieved artistically.

I think you're right but, that says something for the songwriting craft of Bruce. He, along with Dylan, crafted some real gems that only got better when others interpreted them underscoring the quality of the songwriting. Bruce is one of those artists that is really best live to which the later big tours kind of smothered some of the amazing interface he was capable of when performing in a much more intimate setting that didn't have to be a bombastic greatest hits type "oldies" show. Not to take anything away from the arena Bruce but at the end of the day it's the songs and Mann knows how to arrange them in a most unique and pleasing way that really connects. I really think Mann is one of the 20th century greats because not only could he be totally righteous in his early pop incarnation but, he could push the instrumental progressive boundaries to where they were totally just as accessible. He's one unique artist that deserves far greater accolades than even his long and successful career often gets.
