J-Card Comment ABOUT THE 22 BONUS MINUTES:

the Berlin 1975 show is NEARLY unreal sounding for a 1975 audience
- !! ABSOLUTELY STUNNING QUALITY !! -
it seems to me more like a soundboard or FM-recording...

and is also

NOT LISTED

in the MMEB's fan bible of concerts:
http://www.platform-end.co.uk/html/1975.html

1975 Earth Band musicians:

Manfred Mann - keyboards, percussion, backing vocals (1971 - to date)
Chris Hamlet Thompson - lead vocals, guitar (1975 - 1997)
Dave Flett - lead guitar, backing vocals, (1975 - 1978)
Colin Pattenden - bass guitar, backing vocals (1971 - 1978)
Chris Slade - drums, percussion (1971 - 1978)

The three songs are:

01. Mercury / Saturn (instrumental) 5:18
02. Messin 8:42
03. Drivin Rain 7:40

"Driving rain" is introduced with exactly this songtitle and with
"...a song from our next album 'Nightingales and Bombers' !"
Turns out to be an VERY EARLY VERSION of

"TIME IS RIGHT" - available on 'Nightingales and Bombers',

with COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LYRICS !!! WOW !!!
