Mike D'Abo and Paul Jones were two of the finest vocalists of their generation. What a treat to see them singing this wonderful song together.Thank you.
No knives,No drugs,No reclaim the streets you get my drift. When you listen to the likes of P/J,Mark/K,Jools/H and there are others always come across as people who could sit down and have a coffee with. No arrogance,attitude,but respected.
I met Paul Jones walking through Norwich, one Sunday afternoon, early 90's. What a lovely, lovely man. Didn't hesitate in signing his autograph for my mum, who nearly fainted when she saw him! :-)
Paul Jones had such an amazing voice. Talks of Manfred Mann holding a position as a Pop group had circulated long ago, but Manfred had always said that they didn't fit the look. Manfred actually said that Paul Jones was "ruggedly handsome." One of the only handsome ones. Could not be more true. He really looked better as time went on. And his voice aged perfectly. I almost like his aged voice better. I'm glad he's still alive and kicking to this day. Hoping to see them live sometime. What a guy.
Awesome brilliant singer love this Band my favourite band Paul Jones will all ways be my favourite singer brilliant voice 👍👍👍the rest of the band brilliant singers ❤❤❤ together ❤❤❤
Met Paul Jones in about the mid 80's backstage at the Edinburgh Playhouse when he was singing with the Blues Band. He was really friendly and talked about his career and the current tour they were on. He had a great singing voice.
He still has a great voice Johnny never mind HAD lol, saw them in concert 3 years ago in North Berwick- brilliant. Most of the 60's stars were local boys made good and most were approachable not like many so top liners today!!
What a great band, they had so many hits and more than held their own against the rest of the British Invasion. Agreed should be in the R & R HoF, which seems hard to believe. Another great vocal band the Guess Who also not in.
Don't you love it when you see a '60's band sing & playing as good or better than they did 50 years ago? 1 guitar, 1 bass, 1 snare, 1 keyboard & 4 really good voices. The 4 Seasons had kind of the same set up and also had a great sound. Love it.
Pretty flamingo, such sweet words ... the guy is so in love with his girl. Those were the days - innocent love songs when men appreciated women and vice versa.
Ah, just hearing this reminds me of sitting in my garage in high school rolling newspapers for morning delivery and thinking of my then girlfriend. Best times for music. Great vocals then and now.
I saw them twice at Penrith Leagues club in AUS in about 2000 to about 2005. It was two of the best shows I have ever seen and this clip appears to be the same era. AUS
i think this was 1992 i saw them at glasgows royal concert hall that year, with benny gallagher on bass and vocals who also sang a few gallagher and lyle songs first class stuff it was
Manfred Mann didn’t seem to miss a beat when Paul Jones left the band and Michael DABO on keyboard here took over as lead singer. Pretty Flamingo with Paul Jones on lead vocals hit NO1 and The Mighty Quinn with Michael dABO also hit no1 about a year later. Manfred Mann a terribly underrated band from the swinging sixties!!!!!
@@bonkeydollocks1879 Immensely. Black and blue all over. No, but I don't go out too much; the Jones _and_ D'abo line up would have a better chance of dragging me out.
When Mike d'Abo was joining the Manfreds they sent Jack Bruce to pick him up and drive him over. Nobody had told him Jones was leaving the band and when Mike told him Jack quit on the spot. Cream soon ensued.
Here's a question they called themselves the manfreds yet they were with Manfred Mann before Manfred Mann's earthband. Exactly why did Manfred Mann not come back for this?
I don't know why Paul Jones felt the need to elaborate on all the lyrics to Pretty Flamingo, when the original was just perfect. Sometimes less is more. This comes across like a hotel lounge bar singer's version.
Really good! Have been even better if Manfred Mann himself came back to them and the old Manfred Mann had again been reunited! Howevr, I would rather prefer if Paul Jones didn't played at the harmonica all the time at Mighty Quinn.
Manfred Mann should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Ken I couldn't amo
Ken I couldn't agree more with you the Manfred band were brilliant 👍🌹
Manfred mann one of the very best of 1960s 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
nice to see the former lead singers together.

I’ve seen the Manfreds several times. They never disappoint. ❤
a GREAT Band !!! TWO GREAT songs!!

A unique voice. He did movies and solo albums too.
BRILLIANT VOICE!!!! GREATS 60's SONGS!!!
Saw these guys last night at Hull City Hall, fabulous 😊
Damn, Paul Jones is such a soulful singer. What a voice!
damn, they sound really fantastic..
What a great band, they had so many hits and more than held their own against the rest of the British Invasion. Agreed should be in the R & R HoF, which seems hard to believe. Another great vocal band the Guess Who also not in.
Tom McGuinness with former bandmate Benny Gallagher, both in fine voice, as is Paul Jones.
..and they are still our there playing. Saw them last year. Wonderful.
The Manfreds recently appeared at Butlins Skegness as part of our 60s festival. Totally brilliant 👏

Not every group can reinvent themselves. They constantly did. I wrote to tom McGuiness from Seattle in 65'
Mike D'Abo and Paul Jones together theres nothing better than that, talent overflowing
What a Monster Hit I love Pretty Flamingo
Love this band seen them loads of times best band from the 60s it's a 👍👍👍👍brilliant video have seen them as. They are now
Manfred mann🌟 OUTSTANDING group there songs were so good yeah up there with the Beatles🌟 Kinks 🌟 Animals 🌟
Pretty flamingo, such sweet words ... the guy is so in love with his girl. Those were the days - innocent love songs when men appreciated women and vice versa.
What a collection of fine musicians
Wow, they sound great! True Pros
Ah, just hearing this reminds me of sitting in my garage in high school rolling newspapers for morning delivery and thinking of my then girlfriend. Best times for music. Great vocals then and now.
Paul Jones sounding great. Bet he still could tho in his late 70s. Loved that song.
He had a great voice.
He's still alive!
Paul Jones never gets any older!!!

He was even better in the 80s. Great singer, too (Earth Band)
Superb voice.
Fantastic! 😍😍😍😍😍
Brilliant nice to see Talent
A shame D'Abo isn't doing the latest round of shows. Hope he comes back.
Has this bruised you somewhat
@@bonkeydollocks1879 Immensely. Black and blue all over. No, but I don't go out too much; the Jones _and_ D'abo line up would have a better chance of dragging me out.
Jones played the best harmonica ever. Great great memories of MM.
He did. Dylan plays harp. Dylan praised MM's cover versions. All of them.
I love paul Jones when he sings this song
Still going and sounding great
sunsetz77 ,thanks ,love the music u love
Pretty Cool!
Top draw ... as is all Paul Jones' stuff.
Daaang don't I just looove the function, where YT stops the videos all of a suddon, to ask if I want to keep watching.. Idjutz
I recognize the lead singer. Were these all the originals. Pretty Flamingo was one of my favs from the summer of 1966.
Hello Paul Jones hi Simon hi Marcus hi Rob hi Tom hi all miss seeing you all in Burnley brilliant show you all all rock on 👍👍👍
Fantásticos!!!
Yes in 2019 april 7 NEW ZEALAND farewell tour
Just fab
The date this broadcast was, Thursday 31st August 1995
Superb
PURE CLASS
There a great group together or alone. Manfred prefers playing jazz piano in clubs.
When Mike d'Abo was joining the Manfreds they sent Jack Bruce to pick him up and drive him over. Nobody had told him Jones was leaving the band and when Mike told him Jack quit on the spot. Cream soon ensued.
look a REAL VOICE!!!!!!!!
paul jones still looks youthful.
He's clean living.
Paul Jones is a great harp player.
Awesome
still good guys
Eventually the Manfreds went their separate ways. So did the Blues Band. Manfred played Ronnie Scotts like Georgie Fame....
That looks like Mike D'abo on organ.
Here's a question they called themselves the manfreds yet they were with Manfred Mann before Manfred Mann's earthband. Exactly why did Manfred Mann not come back for this?
Manfred a purist no offense to the others. Manfred at Mandela tribute I'm sure. Manfred from South Africa initially.
Manfred Mann left to form the MM Earth Band in '72 . The Manfreds formed in early '90s with Jones,dabo,Hugg,McGuinness etc
Mike Hugg!
The only number one the Late Jack Bruce was involved in .
Jack wrote & sang songs for a little ole band called Cream too.#1 doesn't mean a thing compared to blazing new horizons in music
Jones and d'Abo musical twins?
Mike D'Abo is taking part in the latest tour !!
Going crazy lol :P
And bloody good as well
I don't know why Paul Jones felt the need to elaborate on all the lyrics to Pretty Flamingo, when the original was just perfect. Sometimes less is more. This comes across like a hotel lounge bar singer's version.
Just saw em in Oz... PJ still good so is MdA wiv and extra bonus of Keef's bruvva on bass
+Jill Elliott Hi Jill. I live in Sydney and had no idea they had been here. Where and when did they play?
Whole band good.
@@MrJoelyms your guess is as good as mine..
Why haven't they headlined at Glastonbury compared to the crap that has in recent years ????
These boys sound as good as in 68
Wow!
is paul ken barlow in disguise
Clothes not the same,voices bit different,hate the way they change it round.
Paul Jones Grand
Really good! Have been even better if Manfred Mann himself came back to them and the old Manfred Mann had again been reunited! Howevr, I would rather prefer if Paul Jones didn't played at the harmonica all the time at Mighty Quinn.
Well, for a substitute for a flute, Paul's harmonica does the job!
@@andriealinsangao613 agree totally
the manfreds ohne manfred mann sah ich vor 25 jahren in der olympiahalle münchen mit mike d´abo
holi fuk ,the memories
this would be '90s
Pros
Benny Gallagher there too!
My grandpa Mark, wrote this song in 1966, and I just released my cover of it on my TH-cam channel! I would greatly appreciate any support I can get
like i wrote Purple Haze before Jimi, yeah you need any support you can get
je les adore mais sans paul jones
English women
Should be a compliment to Paul and Michael they're not hard core rock stars..
Lame. Not even close.
They sound fantastic.
