Flashback to the 70's. Warm Summer night at the lake, sitting on the dock with your feet in the water, moon shimmering off ripples on the water. This song comes on the radio, someone fired up a doobie and passed it around. Time to go skinny dipping, are you coming? 🌜
This is the definitive version, hands down. There is so much cool stuff to listen to - the drums, the guitar, the multilayered vocals and of course “Chopsticks” thrown in. This song always brings a smile to my face and transports me back in time to the 70s and my senior year of high school.
As a big Springsteen fan myself I was surprised about how well done this cover was. I may still prefer the Boss' original version (THAT bassline is amazing, played by Bruce himself btw) but this version is simply amazing.
So sick of radio stations, especially SATELLITE RADIO, playing the short version. I can forgive the FM stations, they gotta run ads to stay alive. Satellite radio is subscription based though. No ads. Play the long version, or don't play it at all!.
In my opinion, as someone who enjoys almost every genre of music, I would easily consider this a perfect song. From start to finish, this cover of Springsteen is so nostalgic and timeless. I mean damn, just simply perfect.
If your old man was a boomer pumping these classic tunes, there were 2 crazy moments for you growing up: finding out that All Along the Watchtower was a Bob Dylan song and finding out this was a Springsteen song. In both cases the cover is way better than the original.
I remember hearing this song lots of times when I was a kid. I also saw this album cover when I was nine years old. But until today, I didn’t realize that this album cover was from an album by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band. Nor did I know the title of the album. Well, you learn something new every day.
Das Lied hab ich zum ersten Mal an einem wunderschönen heiligen Abend, also am 24. Dezember 1976 gehört. Hat mich schwer beeindruckt. Eines der Musikstücke, die mich dazu gebracht hatten zu malen :)
Just found out after all these years my.fellow New Jerseyan Bruce Springsteen wrote this, I thought all these years The Manfred Mann Band wrote this. Wow!!!
Easily one of the best songs ever. The nonsensical rhyming lyrics, the instrumental interlude with awesome guitar & killer drums, the layered vocals near the end, the hauntingly quiet final line - put all that together and its just an incredible song; 7 minutes of ecstasy.
“Blinded by the Light” is a high-energy track that matches the thrill of adolescence. The song is packed with the invincibility of youth, and the hopeful perspective that anything is possible. The lyrics are reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen’s early days as a musician with a handful of eccentric characters that he met at venues.....Springsteen talked about this song in detail on an episode of VH1 Storytellers. A lot of the references are personal, to include people he knew or had met on the Boardwalks, or had grown up around, or were just direct personal references to himself: Madman drummers bummers - Vinnie "Mad dog" Lopez, the first drummer in the E Street Band. Indians in the summer - Bruce's little league baseball team as a kid. In the dumps with the mumps - being sick with the mumps. Boulder on my shoulder - a "chip" on his shoulder. Some all hot, half-shot, heading for a hot spot, snapping fingers clapping his hands - Being a "know it all kid growing up, who doesn't really know anything." "Silicone Sister" - Bruce mentions that this is arguably the first mention of breast implants in popular music - a dancer at one of the local strip joints in Asbury Park. He wrote this song in his bedroom, primarily using a rhyming dictionary. Or as Bruce put it, "the rhyming dictionary was on fire."
Whenever this song came on the radio when I was younger you would wait and hope it was the long play version, not the short made for radio version. Good times.

I saw them in Cologne and they were fabulous. So sad that musicians of today think it is okay to pre-record and then lip sync it all. I used to enjoy the occasional mistakes and flubs as much as the great notes because it ensured it was real. A lost art!!
Oh I forgot with a massive amount of mistakes, f ups and general mayhem and they are usually quite if not outright very proud of their high quääälity performance :) (Of course all this depends if their kind of music agrees with your personal taste in music - if not enjoy the show and drink some beer :)
If you really want to experience the true brilliance of this song then listen to it in quad sound with a speaker in each corner of the room and turn it up really loud. You won't regret it.
Happy Birthday Chris Thompson born on March 9, 1948. He is an English singer and guitarist known both for his work with Manfred Mann's Earth Band, specifically for his lead vocal on the classic hit "Blinded By the Light". - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Thompson_(English_musician)
Manfred Mann’s Earth Band’s remake of Blinded By The Light which was originally written and recorded by Bruce Springsteen topped the charts for one week on February 19,1977 ending Mary MacGregor’s two week run with her smash hit ballad Torn Between Two Lovers. Then the following week Manfred Mann’s Earth Band were dethroned by the Eagles with the first single from their landmark album Hotel California titled New Kid In Town.
Great music can set you free, if only for a few moments, while it transports you back to somewhere, someplace, and at sometime throughout your past. That is the magic of the art. Every note is like a painters stroke of his or her brush on the canvas. That's the beauty of it. Sometimes you end up with a masterpiece. Rock on.
I like Bruce Springsteen's version best for the "getting up in the morning and starting your commute to work/school" vibe and the additional lyrics that I think could have been included in the big breakdown at the end, but this is still a fun light-prog jam in its own right. First heard this on the radio as a teenager in 2016/17!
This is one of my favorite songs from the 1970s. The lyrics are very interesting. I just recently learnt that this song was written by Bruce Springsteen. I haven't ever heard his version.
10 peopless listened to this and didnt play air guitar to the lead. One of the greatest leads ever recorded ! On that day Mr. Dave Flett layed it down and entered the stratosphere to share space with Edward Vanhalen Jimi Hendrix Terry Kath (insert your own favorites here) etc.
I’m just glad that nobody started a comment going, about what they THOUGHT Chris Thompson was singing. Like, the part where ……oh, wait, what am I doing?
By bigbrother had a Lo with Them, littlesis learned, youngest of 4 children, yes Music from before i learned english. Wonderfull. But the 83’ rekord, with this profomance, a little pop/ rock opin the originals. Made a lot og rythm hymnastic too this! Year 62, born 62, from Denmark!

One of those songs that INSTANTLY transports me to a different time and place. What a great song.
2023 & still 1 of the greatest riffs/intermission ever blazed!! 2:50-
I Totally agree, it’s an absolute time machine!
Indeed. September 1976 and I'm starting Year 2 at primary school. The playground is being resurfaced - I can still smell the hot tarmac!
Flashback to the 70's. Warm Summer night at the lake, sitting on the dock with your feet in the water, moon shimmering off ripples on the water. This song comes on the radio, someone fired up a doobie and passed it around. Time to go skinny dipping, are you coming? 🌜
😎
This is the definitive version, hands down. There is so much cool stuff to listen to - the drums, the guitar, the multilayered vocals and of course “Chopsticks” thrown in. This song always brings a smile to my face and transports me back in time to the 70s and my senior year of high school.
Espectacular 😮
As a big Springsteen fan myself I was surprised about how well done this cover was. I may still prefer the Boss' original version (THAT bassline is amazing, played by Bruce himself btw) but this version is simply amazing.
what a classic
Easily THE BEST version of this song!!!
Just left school at 16 didn’t know who or what I was and what happens next,just remember this tune connected with me somehow ❤
So, my radio turned on by itself and it was playing this song. Curious day I'm having..
Enjoy!
"Believe me:
NOTHING, is trivial..."

Always thought this amazing song should have won the title for the best pop song of the 20th Century instead of Queen's Bohemian Rapsody.
I second this
Hard call. Both are epic.
TOTALLY 110% AGREE! ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER PERIOD!
Meaning BLINDED THEE BEST! AND GO FIGURE I LISTEN TO METAL RAP/HIP-HOP HOUSE N OF COURSE ROCK!
there's too many great 20th century pop songs like those two for that title to even be fair
Extended version the only one for me.
So sick of radio stations, especially SATELLITE RADIO, playing the short version. I can forgive the FM stations, they gotta run ads to stay alive. Satellite radio is subscription based though. No ads. Play the long version, or don't play it at all!.
Technically it's not extended. This is he full original album version. The shorter version is the one that was edited for radio play.
Absolutely! It's EXTREMELY disappointing when I hear the abridged version on the radio.
Yup dudes
I was a Junior in high school when this song came out. We'd stop doing whatever we were doing and just listen to it. Fond memories.
In my opinion, as someone who enjoys almost every genre of music, I would easily consider this a perfect song. From start to finish, this cover of Springsteen is so nostalgic and timeless. I mean damn, just simply perfect.
Dude#No cover#Origanal#💯🌟😝🕊️
Definitely one for the ages. I especially like the guitar interlude. and of course, a tip of the hat to chopsticks on the piano. Nice.
If your old man was a boomer pumping these classic tunes, there were 2 crazy moments for you growing up: finding out that All Along the Watchtower was a Bob Dylan song and finding out this was a Springsteen song. In both cases the cover is way better than the original.
Sometimes a cover can be better than the original song, and this is a proof. I'm a great Bruce Springsteen fan btw.
I remember hearing this song lots of times when I was a kid. I also saw this album cover when I was nine years old. But until today, I didn’t realize that this album cover was from an album by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band. Nor did I know the title of the album. Well, you learn something new every day.
Cool
The song was written by Bruce Springsteen, it's on greetings from Asbury Park. Listen to the original!. How's that for learning something new!
When I was a kid, the main message I took from the song, was 'Blinded by the Light'. Good enough for me ! And amazing song, anyway 😉🌷
Same lol
It's one of the best songs in song history.
One of the greatest songs ever made. A personal favourite of my dad's
The guitar solo in this though....one of the top ten best in my opinion....
Admirable musical composition!, no doubt... but the Lyrics are pure Dope
I agree. One of the BEST in Rock History !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There’s so many great guitar players and guitar solos but this solo still gets me every time, even after hearing it probably 2000 times, or more.
Das Lied hab ich zum ersten Mal an einem wunderschönen heiligen Abend, also am 24. Dezember 1976 gehört. Hat mich schwer beeindruckt.

Suits riding a motorcycle very fast how the song gets progressively fast at certain points. Love it

For real? Springsteen wrote this? Talk about collaboration!
@@blockmasterscotthe also recorded it first on one of his early albums
@@blockmasterscottyes he really wrote it
@@RoyPage1970 That’s amazing! 👍💪🎶🎵
This is one of the best intros to a song. its one of the best songs of the 70s. The guitar riff is so good
The Lead Break takes you to another place. Job well done David Flett
Easily one of the best songs ever. The nonsensical rhyming lyrics, the instrumental interlude with awesome guitar & killer drums, the layered vocals near the end, the hauntingly quiet final line - put all that together and its just an incredible song; 7 minutes of ecstasy.
Nonsensical and some that do connect
I fully agree with Robert Adams.
Thank you very much Jimmie Usery
I agree. This song, BOC's Don't Fear the Reaper, and Chicago's 'Beginnings' are probably my top 3 of all time.
It was done first by Bruce Springsteen, believe it or not. He was flattered and happy with the changes Manfred Mann and his Earth Band made to it.
One Word. (MASTERPIECE)
It's totally masterpieces, unlike most of today's songs 🎵.
Absolutely Mantastic. Love MMEB especially with Chris on vocals. This still rocks and so does Manfred. 😊

It used to piss me off when it was the Air Play version.
Music of my youth. Beauty !

All I can say is Damn Great Song, I was 5 when this released in 1976.
Why is the full version of the song not officially on TH-cam?
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Madman drummer bummers
Indians in the summer
With a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps
As the adolescent pumps
His way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder
Feeling kinda older
I tripped a merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing
Sneezing and wheezing
The calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Some silicone sister
With her manager mister
Told me I got what it takes
She said, I'll turn you on sonny to something strong
Play the song with the funky break
And go-kart Mozart
Was checking out the weather chart
To see if it was safe outside
And little Early Pearly
Came by in his curly-wurly
And asked me if I needed a ride
Asked me if I needed a ride
'Cause she was blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tight
She's gonna make it to the night
She's gonna make it through the night
But mama, that's where the fun is
But mama, that's where the fun is
[Solo]
Mama always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun
But mama, that's where the fun is
Some brimstone baritone
Anticyclone rolling stone
Preacher from the east
Says, "Dethrone the Dictaphone
Hit it in its funny bone
That's where they expect it least."
And some new mown chaperone
Was standing in the corner
Watching the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone
Was messing with his frozen zone
Reminding him of romance
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night

My first concert was Billy Joel and I still remember all the words to “We Didn’t Start the Fire” to this day. Good show.

Unforgetable!! Great song!!!
Fantastyc MUSIC!

Great song from September 1976. And especially this long version is great.
Great song.👌🏾

That solo is the best🤟🏾

The guitar solo is ahead of their time, with the exception of Jimmy Hendrix, of course.
Great music can set you free, if only for a few moments, while it transports you back to somewhere, someplace, and at sometime throughout your past. That is the magic of the art. Every note is like a painters stroke of his or her brush on the canvas. That's the beauty of it. Sometimes you end up with a masterpiece. Rock on.
97 the river. best radio station in Athens GA.
No word for this...i gonna cry....
E P I C ! ! !
The guitar solo on this along with Stranglehold and turn to stone (Joe Walsh) are the most-epic 70's sound.
thought of turn to stone from ELO first, i'm gonna have to do a refresher on that Joe Walsh song
I like Bruce Springsteen's version best for the "getting up in the morning and starting your commute to work/school" vibe and the additional lyrics that I think could have been included in the big breakdown at the end, but this is still a fun light-prog jam in its own right. First heard this on the radio as a teenager in 2016/17!
EXCELLENT tune Bruce Springsteen wrote for them !!!
They covered it ..,he didn't write it for them.
7 minutes of ecstasy

El mejor trabajo de Manfrend Mann.que gran trabajo que recuerdos, si señor.

This is one of my favorite songs from the 1970s. The lyrics are very interesting. I just recently learnt that this song was written by Bruce Springsteen. I haven't ever heard his version.

Superbe. N'oublions pas qu'à l'origine, c'est une œuvre de Springsteen. :-)
I've always thought this masterpiece was written by Manfred Mann. Turns out somebody else wrote it. That's cool doh.

Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Madman drummers bummers (blinded by the light)
Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat (revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night)
In the dumps with the mumps (blinded by the light)
As the adolescent pumps his way into his hat (revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night)
With a boulder on my shoulder (blinded by the light)
Feelin' kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round (revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night)
With this very unpleasin' (blinded by the light)
Sneezin' and wheezin
The calliope crashed to the ground (revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night)
Now Scott with a slingshot (blinded by the light)
Finially found a tender spot (revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night)
And throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not (blinded by the light)
Said daddy's within earshot (revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night)
Save the buckshot, turn up the band (blinded by the light)
Some silicone sister with a manager mister (blinded by the light)
Told me I go what it takes (revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night)
She said, "I'll turn you on, sonny, to something strong"
She got down, but she never got tired
She's gonna make it through the night
